Our Home
A Small Home, Built Around Each Young Person
Two buildings in the London Borough of Enfield — a four-bed main house and a self-contained one-bed annex — designed to feel like a home, not an institution.

The operating commitments behind the home — the things that hold steady whatever the day brings.
Ofsted

Children's Homes (England) Regulations 2015. Reg 44 monthly visits and Reg 45 six-monthly reviews.

Age range
Mixed-gender, with all admissions assessed for compatibility and group dynamic.
Who Our Home Is Designed For
Not every young person needs the same kind of placement. Here's where Lunar Care fits — and where it doesn't.
Often a Good Fit For
- Young people aged 13–15 with EBD, autism spectrum condition, or learning disabilities.
- Those who would benefit from small group living and consistent staff.
- Young people for whom a local placement in the London Borough of Enfield protects family and school connections.
- Those who'd benefit from a lower-stimulation annex space within a wider home.
May Not Be Suitable When
- The young person is outside the 13–15 age range at admission.
- Secure accommodation is required.
- There is a high and unmanaged risk of serious violence or persistent high-risk offending behaviour.
- Acute clinical or psychiatric intervention is the primary need.
A Journey
A Young Person's Journey With Us
From referral through to onward planning — every stage is built around stability, voice, and measurable progress.
Referral
Matching and Risk Assessment
The Registered Manager reviews referral documentation, care plans, and risk profile against the existing group dynamic before a placement is agreed.
Pre-placement
Visit and Transition Plan
Where appropriate, the young person visits the home, meets staff, and begins to build initial relationships before move-in. A clear transition plan is shared with the team.
First weeks
Settling and Care Planning
Increased support and monitoring while the young person settles. Individual care plan, behaviour support plan, PEP, and health appointments are all activated.
Ongoing
Progress, Voice, Review
Weekly key work, weekly house meetings, regular care plan reviews, monthly Reg 44 visits, and six-monthly Reg 45 reviews — all evidencing progress and shaping the next steps.
The Home
Inside the Home
The main house provides communal living spaces and personalised individual bedrooms for up to four young people. The annex is a self-contained living space for one additional young person — useful where a lower-stimulation environment, more individualised support, or a quieter pace helps. Both buildings are maintained to a high standard and regularly checked against fire and health-and-safety requirements.
- Personalised individual bedrooms
- Shared communal living and dining
- A self-contained annex
- Outdoor space for recreation
- Calm, low-stimulation areas
- Spaces for family contact
Lunar Care Home
The Spaces
Spaces That Support Everyday Life
Each part of the home has been considered in terms of what young people actually need from it — not just how it looks.
01 The Main House
Up to four young people, each with their own personalised bedroom, plus shared communal living areas designed to support social time, shared meals, and the easy rhythms that build belonging.
02 The Annex
A self-contained one-bed annex offering a quieter, more individualised environment when a young person needs lower stimulation, more privacy, or a more bespoke pace — without losing connection to the wider home.
03 Outdoor and Community
Outdoor space for exercise and time away from the indoor environment, plus easy access to local parks, leisure facilities, and community resources nearby.
Location
London Borough of Enfield
The home is in the London Borough of Enfield — a predominantly residential area chosen specifically to support local placements, protecting young people's connections to family, school, and community.
Visit planning is available for families and professionals. Contact our team to arrange a suitable time.
01
Education within reach
Close to mainstream schools, specialist provision, and pupil referral units, with public transport links that make school and appointments practical without long-distance travel.
02
Healthcare on hand
Nearby GP practices, pharmacies, and hospital facilities for both routine and specialist healthcare, supporting the home's commitment to addressing unmet health needs from day one.
03
Local matters
Many young people in care are placed far from home because suitable local placements aren't available. Placing locally helps Lunar Care reduce that disruption — and the location risk is actively assessed and managed.
Our Philosophy
What We Focus On.
The principles that shape how the home runs day to day.
- 01
Consistent staff who stay — because trust is built through repetition, not intent.
- 02
Daily structured routines that make the day predictable and the night safe.
- 03
Education held in the same regard as care — PEP engagement, daily study time, and school partnerships.
- 04
Voice that's actually used — weekly house meetings, key work, and a 'You said, we did' approach.
- 05
Local connection by design — placements near family, school, and community wherever possible.
Why Choose Us
What We Focus On
The principles that shape how the home runs day to day.
- 01
Consistent Relationships
We deliberately work to keep staff turnover low so young people experience the same trusted faces over time.
- 02
Structured Daily Routines
Predictable wake-ups, school preparation, shared mealtimes, and planned activities — the rhythm that lets emotional regulation get easier.
- 03
Education Held High
PEP attendance, school partnerships, daily structured study time, and a refusal to accept the 'children in care achieve less' narrative.
- 04
Voice and Belonging
Weekly house meetings, key work, and a 'You said, we did' approach mean young people genuinely shape the home they live in.
- 05
Local Connection by Design
Local placements in the London Borough of Enfield protect ties to family, school, and community — the things that make placements actually stick.
Questions
Our Home FAQs
Questions families and placing teams often ask when they're considering Lunar Care.
Q. Can young people personalise their rooms?
Yes — we actively encourage personal belongings, photos, and decoration. A young person's bedroom is their own space, and personalising it is part of how the home becomes theirs.
Q. Are family visits supported?
Where it's safe and in line with the young person's care plan, yes. We facilitate transport, provide suitable spaces for visits, and support young people emotionally before, during, and after contact.
Q. What's a typical day like?
Structured wake-ups and school preparation, shared mealtimes, school or alternative provision during the day, planned activities or downtime in the evening, and consistent bedtimes — with key work sessions and house meetings woven through the week.
Q. How is the annex used?
The self-contained annex gives us flexibility for young people who'd benefit from a quieter, lower-stimulation, or more individualised setting. It's a working part of the home — not separate from it — and the same staff team supports both buildings.
Q. Is the area safe?
The home is in a predominantly residential area in the London Borough of Enfield. As with anywhere urban, there are some risks; we maintain a location risk assessment that informs individual risk plans for each young person, and staff are trained on local CSE/CCE indicators.
