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.
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.
Rydym yn gofalu am blant a phobl ifanc rhwng 9 ac 18 oed (hyd at 14 wrth dderbyn). Rydym yn cynnig lleoliadau tymor canolig a thymor hir i Awdurdodau Lleol ledled Gogledd Cymru a siroedd y gororau.
Mae naws teuluol diogel, cynnes, cefnogol a chariadus y cartref yn golygu bod y gwasanaeth a ddarparwn yn cyrraedd safon ragorol. Mae gennym dîm o staff ymroddgar ac angerddol sy’n gweithio'n galed i sicrhau'r canlyniadau gorau un, ac sy’n ymfalchïo yn yr hyn y mae’r bobl ifanc yn ei gyflawni.
Mae’n debygol y bydd ein plant wedi cael profiad o drawma yn gynnar yn eu plentyndod, gan gynnwys camdriniaeth, esgeulustod, trais domestig a cham-fanteisio rhywiol. Mae hyn yn gallu arwain at hunan-niweidio, diffyg ymlyniad, methu cadw eu hunain yn ddiogel na rheoli emosiynau, lefelau isel iawn o hunan-barch, pryder, iselder a sgiliau cyfathrebu gwael.
Rydym yn deall bod cael eu gwahanu oddi wrth eu teuluoedd yn brofiad trawmatig, poenus a llawn straen, a bod y rhan fwyaf o blant/pobl ifanc yn teimlo eu bod yn cael eu gwrthod, ac yn teimlo colled, galar ac euogrwydd yn aml iawn. Mae’r teimladau hyn yn gallu dod i’r amlwg fel ymddygiad negyddol sydd wedi’i ddysgu. Gyda chymorth gan ein therapyddion, byddwn yn rhoi strategaethau ar waith i helpu plant a phobl ifanc i ddechrau deall eu teimladau a meithrin sgiliau i fwynhau a chyflawni.
Bydd ein plant yn cymryd rhan mewn rhaglen ymyrraeth sydd wedi’i theilwra’n arbennig ar eu cyfer nhw, ac yn cael eu cefnogi gan dîm o staff sydd wedi ymrwymo'n llwyr i ddeall anghenion y plentyn a’u diwallu, a lleihau’r rhwystrau a nodwyd.
Mae gennym lawer o ddyheadau ar gyfer plant sy'n derbyn gofal, ac am iddynt gyrraedd eu nod ym mhob ffordd. Rydym am eu hysbrydoli a meithrin eu potensial, gan eu hannog a’u cefnogi, yn union fel y byddem yn ei wneud i’n plant ni ein hunain. Byddwn yn eiriol ar eu rhan fel bod pobl eraill sydd o bwys yn deall yr ymddygiadau ac yn rhannu’r un dyheadau â ni.
