'Dear Farmhouse,

From a young persons PA

'I just wanted to share some feedback and thanks in relation to Hampshire Child, you and the team at Westway House have provided outstanding care and support for him You and the Team have worked through some difficult and tough times settling him over the last year. Your dedication, care and unconditional commitment has enabled him to feel settled, safe and secure. Your support working through complex educational issues and at times no provision, has been amazing. You and the team need to be highly commended for your unwavering commitment to all children in your care.

 “When a flower doesn’t bloom, you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower.” Alexander Den Heijer

You and your team are certainly supporting the flower to bloom! Thank you for your unconditional positive regard, thank you for your un-ending kindness, and thank you for your compassion! Thank you, for your life changing care.'

Hampshire Council - June 2023

‘I just wanted to say I work alongside many residential homes, but I was highly impressed by the atmosphere and approach I felt spending time at Goldridge. The work you had done to facilitate education since (child) hasn’t been attending was above and beyond. It was a pleasure to see.’  

Headteacher – April 2023

'The adults at Greenslade have been incredibly supportive to both children, always put their needs first and will do what they can to support family time. They are easy to approach and have excellent communication to keep us up to date with the children’s day to day.'

‘A’ has improved massively with his sleeping, behaviour and over-all well-being since he has lived at Westway. The staff are all very caring, skilled, nurturing and child focused.

I am pleased of ‘A’ improvement since we have placed him in Westway.

Childs Mum – Feb 2023

Children thrive while living in this home. Therapeutic care is a thread that runs seamlessly throughout the home Children make exceptional progress.

Staff relentlessly pursue opportunities for children to develop their social skills They enjoy strong connections with key staff.

Children live in an environment which embodies that of a positive family home. Professionals speak extremely highly of the home. Two professionals state they wish they could replicate the care and support given to children by staff. They identify the exceptional progress children make and the benefit of the parenting approach for children.
