About Beeston View
We believe the nature and quality of the environment is an important factor in the success of our home, this message transferring to the young people through the acknowledgment that we value them enough to provide such an environment. We expect from this that our young people will learn to value themselves in the same way.
Beeston View has three floors. In total there are three bathrooms/ five separate toilets. The lower ground lends itself to a self- contained apartment which is used as sleeping accommodation for staff. There is a games room which houses; a pool table, computer for sole use by the children, a selection of board games, toys and reading materials as well as games consoles. The first floor has four large double bedrooms and a large bath/ shower room. One of the bedrooms has an en-suite toilet, basin and shower.
The ground floor of the home gives placing authorities an option to promote and prepare young people for independence. The room is a self-contained studio room that compromises of a Kitchen, Dining Room, Bathroom and Bedroom. Within the room there are excellent furnishings and fixtures giving the Young Person a sense of independence, whilst still having access to the home.

The surrounding environment is picturesque. There is a footpath off the back garden leading down to a stream which is used by local anglers. The area is of special interest to ramblers and outdoor activity types from near and far.
The surrounding locality in which the home is situated is within close proximity to several large beautiful parks and playing fields providing a very pleasant environment.
The philosophy in the delivery of care at Beeston view is based upon the belief that children deserve a fresh start from which they can move forward to build a positive future and have the same life chance opportunities as their peers in the wider community. Crucially, we believe that caring for Looked After Children needs to be undertaken in partnership with parents and others who have parental responsibility, as well as any other relevant support agencies, taking a joint up approach to best meet the needs of the child.
Our aim at Beeston View is to make everyone aware of the things young people need to help them to be happy, successful, healthy and safe, and to encourage them to become actively involved in learning and their own personal development. Leisure time is an important element in the learning and growth process for young people. It also affords the care team time to spend constructive periods with the young people that can greatly help in the development of positive relationships.
Beeston View has established a working partnership with CCATS who provide specialist individual treatment and support programs; we are able to introduce and source their services to provide consistent and bespoke psychological assessments and therapy.
CCATS has extensive experience and a successful track record of providing psychological assessment and treatment services for children, young people, adults, and families. We work in partnership with many organisations including the NHS, Social Care, Youth Offending Teams, GPs, and schools. Specialist services for looked after children are provided in partnership with carefully selected children’s residential care providers. We work with legal practices, acting in accordance with instructions from the Courts.
