* Who we are *
We Are Hub Haven
Hub Haven Ltd is a registered children’s residential home providing full-time care, support, and accommodation for one young person at a time.
We Care At Hub Haven
We care for young people aged 10 to 17, mixed gender, with a range of emotional and behavioural support needs, including those who are neurodivergent or have mild to moderate learning needs.
Single Home
We are a single home. We do not operate a group of homes, and we do not place several young people together. This is a deliberate choice.
Sole-placement
A sole-placement home means there are no peer dynamics to manage and no competition for attention. Every shift, every plan, and every relationship is built for the one young person in our care.
The Solo-Placement Model
A safe base for resilience and growth
Many of the young people we support have faced significant challenges, including frequent moves, high-risk situations, or multiple placements. Our home is designed to be a safe base: somewhere stable and secure enough that trusting relationships can grow. Through those relationships, our team helps the young person understand their emotions and build the resilience and coping strategies that support them for life.
This work is grounded in a deep understanding of the young person’s history, behaviour, and present experience. We set realistic, regular goals and recognise progress through encouragement, helping the young person develop life skills, independence, and a sense of safety.
Our Values
Our approach to care
Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, Empathy
The four pillars of P.A.C.E. — Hughes’ relational, trauma-informed approach guides every interaction in our home.
One child, undivided focus
We are a sole-placement home by design. Every routine, every relationship, every plan is built around one young person.
Behaviour is communication
We look beneath behaviour to understand the need, the feeling, or the unmet experience behind it — and we respond, not react.
Safety through relationship
Predictable routines, consistent staff, and warm, attuned care. Young people feel safe because they are known.
The young person’s voice leads
Wishes, feelings, identity, culture, and choice shape the care plan. Nothing about them is decided without them.
Reflective and accountable practice
We learn from every shift, every incident, and every review. Supervision, oversight, and honest reflection are how we get better.
why one child at a time matters
For reducing behavioral issues and building genuine emotional security.
Spending one-on-one time with a child removes the pressure of sibling rivalry, allowing them to lower their guard and express their true self. This dedicated, focused attention proactively fills their emotional needs, which drastically reduces attention-seeking misbehavior. Ultimately, even just fifteen minutes of daily solo time builds a safe space for deep conversation and validates their unique identity apart from the family group.
