We specialise in caring and supporting young people with complex health conditions.

The specialist team at Buttons put the children and young people at the heart of everything they do. Whether it be outings outside of the home, or time spent in the spacious garden, the children and young people at Buttons are supported to access opportunities and fun activities.

We foster an environment of inclusion, honesty and integrity and work closely with the child or young person’s family, as well as local Special Educational Needs Education teams and health professionals to create comprehensive support plans that cover every aspect of care and personal preferences. This allows children and young people in our care to feel safe, content, inspired and healthy. We promote and fulfil the company values of being caring, honest, pro-active, and empowering for those we support.

Our wonderful team understand that a holistic approach is necessary to ensure those in our care are safe, happy, and healthy. We promote and fulfil the company values of being caring, honest, pro-active, and empowering for those we support.
