Sawadi House.

A brand-new home, the same warm approach.

Sawadi House provides a safe, welcoming environment for children and young people aged 8 to 18 with learning disabilities and autism, where each young person receives individualised care and support. We offer both short-term respite and long-term care, in a family setting that develops each young person's identity, awareness, self-confidence and skills.

We remain sensitive to each young person's religion, cultural identity, disability, language and sexual orientation, and ensure every young person is respected as an individual.

The house

Sawadi House is a spacious four-bedroom home on a quiet residential street, with a dedicated sensory room providing a calming and engaging environment tailored to individual needs. There is a bright open lounge with doors onto the garden, and welcoming shared spaces throughout: a warm, homely atmosphere in every room.

The Nest

Within Sawadi House is The Nest, a dedicated space for a single young person, with its own kitchen and living space. It offers the reassurance of the wider home with the calm of a solo placement, for young people who need their own space to settle and thrive.

Newly registered in its new home

Sawadi House moved into its new home in 2026 and is newly registered with Ofsted, with its first inspection to follow. The home is led by Carly Keys, who also runs Robinson House and brings more than twenty years' experience in children's residential care, six of them as a registered manager.

Activities & leisure

Our activities programme reflects individual needs as well as the developmental age of the young people in the home: swimming, theme parks, zoos, the beach, shopping, horse riding, meals out and the cinema, with risk assessments undertaken as appropriate. We actively promote social inclusion and participation in community activities that build self-esteem and confidence.

The home celebrates birthdays, Christmas, Diwali and other religious festivals and cultural events, encouraging the young people to learn about cultural and religious differences.

Working with everyone around the young person

The home works very closely with parents and anyone associated with the care of the young people: social workers, psychiatrists and other health care professionals. This multi-disciplinary approach helps ensure each young person's needs are fully assessed and arrangements are put in place to meet them.
