About The Orchard
The Orchard provides medium to long term residential care for up to 2 children aged 8-17, of any gender. We offer a range of support for children most notably autism, sensory processing issues and learning difficulties.
The Orchard is set within a semi-rural area of St Helens, within the larger Merseyside region.
The Orchard is a home where children and young people have the potential to thrive – living, learning and growing together.
The home will have infinite aspirations for all our children and young people and for those who support them.
We believe that no goal is too big and that all children and young people regardless deserve to have equal access to opportunities.
We have created a space where our children can grow and develop safely and feel valued.
We will encourage and enable young people to be free to fully express themselves as individuals – with their own unique needs, characteristics, and ambitions.
How we see Success
A young person from out with the Local Authority came to the Orchard with a high staffing ratio. We have been able to support the young person to reintegrate into education within her hometown. We created a bespoke Positive Behaviour Support plan for her involving our My3 PBS coaches, key workers, My3 therapeutic team and the Orchard staff team looking at the best way to support this young person. We where able to identify trigger and warning signs in the young person before these escalated and use the strategies built from the PBS plan. We have been able to give the young person new and exciting experiences to enrich her life. We have strongly supported family time both in the community and at the home ensuring they have been kept involved in the care planning with their child.

The Orchard Ethos
Our ethos is to be more than just a ‘residential setting.’ The Orchard aims to be a ‘home from home’ for the children and young people living here.
