About Us
Freelands Care Group is a residential care provider based in Stoke-on-Trent, registered in England and Wales. We believe no child should be defined by what has happened to them, and we build every home and therapeutic service around that belief.
Our story
We started with a simple observation: children with complex histories are too often moved between placements that aren't equipped for their needs. Freelands Care Group was set up to do things differently — homes that are genuinely homely, staffed by people trained to understand trauma, working alongside therapy rather than in isolation from it.
We're now growing that model from 2 homes to 24 across the East and West Midlands — carefully, home by home, so that quality of care never trails behind the pace of growth.

What we stand for
THE CHILD COMES FIRST
Every decision, from which home a child moves into to how their daily routine is structured, starts with what that child needs.
STABILITY OVER SPEED
We'd rather open a home a month later than open it understaffed.
HONESTY WITH FAMILIES & AUTHORITIES
Clear, direct communication about how a child is doing — the good weeks and the harder ones.
OFSTED-REGISTERED
Every home operates under Ofsted registration and is subject to regular inspection.
RESTRAINT REDUCTION NETWORK
A member organisation committed to reducing restrictive practice in children's care.
