Safe, Stable and Nurturing Residential Support
Rivan Residential Care Ltd is developing a small children’s residential service in Peterborough, with a focus on safety, stability and consistent support. We aim to work in partnership with local authorities and professionals to carefully consider each placement and support positive outcomes for children and young people.
Our Approach
Our approach is based on consistency, positive relationships and clear expectations. We want children and young people to experience a home environment that feels predictable, respectful and supportive, with routines and boundaries that help create a sense of security.
We also recognise that every young person is different. Support will therefore be shaped around individual needs, strengths and circumstances, with an emphasis on listening, building trust and working collaboratively with the professionals involved in their care.
Our Service
The service is being developed around three core areas: a nurturing environment, strong safeguarding practice and the stability that comes from clear routines and consistent support. Together, these elements are intended to create a residential setting where children and young people can feel secure, supported and able to make positive progress over time.
Our Residential Service
Environment
Safety
Stability
We aim to create a warm, contemporary and nurturing residential environment where children and young people can feel safe, comfortable and supported. The setting will be designed to promote a sense of belonging, trust and everyday stability.
Safety and safeguarding will be central to the way the service operates. We aim to maintain clear boundaries, consistent routines and appropriate safeguarding practices that help protect the physical and emotional wellbeing of each young person.
Predictable routines and consistent support will be an important part of the service. We aim to create a stable environment where young people can feel secure and understood, while developing positive relationships, confidence and greater independence over time.
Individualised Support
We recognise that every child and young person will have their own needs, strengths and circumstances. Support will be tailored accordingly, with attention to daily routines, education, wellbeing and personal development.
We aim to work closely with the professionals involved in each young person’s care, education and wellbeing, helping to promote consistent support and positive day-to-day experiences.
Support will be reviewed and adapted as a young person’s needs develop, with the aim of recognising progress, responding to challenges and encouraging increasing confidence and independence.
Positive, child-centred relationships are central to our approach, helping young people feel listened to, valued and supported while developing a sense of belonging and trust.
Education is an important part of every young person’s development. We aim to support children and young people to engage positively with education, working alongside schools, local authorities and other professionals to promote consistency, confidence and progress in their education.

Health & Wellbeing
We aim to promote the physical and emotional wellbeing of each young person through consistent routines, positive relationships and healthy everyday experiences. We will work alongside relevant professionals to ensure individual health and wellbeing needs are understood and appropriately supported.
STANDARDS
Safeguarding & Quality
Safeguarding is at the heart of our approach. We aim to provide a safe, stable and nurturing environment where children and young people feel protected, listened to and valued. Clear expectations, consistent support and careful attention to individual needs underpin the way we approach residential care.
Quality will be supported through clear policies, consistent practice and regular review. We aim to develop effective arrangements for staff recruitment, training, supervision and record-keeping, alongside ongoing oversight to help maintain high standards and identify opportunities for improvement.
Join Our Team
As the service develops, we are looking to build a team of people who share our commitment to safe, stable and nurturing support for children and young people. We value individuals who are compassionate, reliable and committed to helping young people feel secure, valued and able to move forward with confidence.
