Tan y Dre is a therapeutic children’s home offering nurturing, long‑term residential care for young people who need a safe, supportive place to grow.

A small wooden garden shed glows with warm yellow and purple lights at night. The double doors are open, showing a guitar and two chairs inside. On the porch, there’s a cat litter box and food bowl. The scene feels cozy and welcoming.

Tan y Dre is a medium to long‑term therapeutic residential home for up to four young people aged between 9 and 17, designed to offer stability, safety and a nurturing family‑style environment. Children who come to live here often have complex needs, early childhood trauma, attachment difficulties, or have experienced multiple placement breakdowns, and our highly trained team supports them to heal, grow and develop confidence.

They are like our second family.

The home provides a warm, inclusive atmosphere with comfortable bedrooms, shared living spaces, a large garden, and easy access to local schools, shops and community activities. A dedicated staff team, including a Key Worker for each young person, ensures therapeutic care, emotional support, practical help and opportunities to explore hobbies, education and friendships.

Our approach is trauma‑informed, relationship‑based and rooted in helping young people build resilience, independence and a sense of belonging. Families are welcomed and involved wherever appropriate, and children’s voices are central to decisions about their care and daily life.

My daughter has grown into a confident young lady and is so much happier since she has had this experience.

How to access the service

Placements begin with a referral and information‑sharing meeting between the Local Authority and Tan y Dre management. If the home is considered a suitable match, the Manager and allocated Link Worker visit the young person to discuss the move and start planning their transition.

A structured transition follows, often including visits for tea, opportunities to meet staff and young people, and potential overnight stays before moving in. A review meeting takes place within the first seven days of the placement to ensure the young person feels supported and settled.

Staff are friendly and welcoming at all times.
