Butterfly House
Children’s Home
Histon, Cambridgeshire



A place to feel at home
Children and young people will have their own space to make their own, alongside shared spaces to eat together, relax and spend time with others. They’ll be encouraged to shape life at home, from choosing meals and activities to sharing ideas about how the home is run

Care built on trusting relationships
Our teams will provide care and support around the clock. We’ll take a trauma-informed approach, recognising how past experiences can affect how children feel, respond and build relationships. By getting to know each child and listening to what matters to them, we’ll support them in ways that reflect their individual needs.

Support with learning and growing independence
We’ll work with schools, colleges and other professionals to support each child’s education. We’ll also help children and young people explore their interests, take part in their local community and develop practical skills such as cooking, shopping and travelling independently, at a pace that suits them.

Working together around each child
We’ll work with families, social workers and other professionals involved in each child’s care. Children and young people will be supported to express their views, understand their rights and access independent advocacy when they need it.
