At Blue Dolphin Care, we provide safe, therapeutic, and nurturing residential homes for children and young people aged 8–18 in Derbyshire.
Blue Dolphin Care Ltd is established to provide care for 3 children aged 8 to 18 years old. We believe trauma does not define a child's future. Every young person deserves a second chance, representing a vital opportunity to heal, to grow, and to take control of their own story.
We work passionately to build stability and trust, offering environments where children can overcome past difficulties and flourish in all areas of their lives.
Our Therapeutic Care
"Just as the ocean is vast and ever-changing, we see each child's life as open to new directions, no matter what their past has held."
The Blue Dolphin Ethos
We provide stable, comfortable, and therapeutic residential settings where children feel safe, respected, and part of a caring home community.
A newly decorated, warm, and spacious 3-bed semi-detached home supporting children aged 8–18 with emotional and behavioural difficulties (EBD) and trauma histories.

Planned Expansion
Part of our planned regional expansion, introducing another high-quality children's home utilising the ARC and PACE models to support local authorities.
Future Project
Our third proposed residential home, expanding our therapeutic children's care network and continuing our commitment to child-centred advocacy.
Our approach is centred on evidence-based therapeutic practices, tailored education plans, and cultural and religious inclusion.
Our residential spaces are designed to feel like cozy, welcoming family homes, ensuring security and comfort for all children.
We implement the ARC (Attachment, Regulation, Competency) framework and PACE parenting model, supported by Meadows Psychology Service.
We work in lockstep with schools, virtual school coordinators, and specialists to manage EHCPs and promote academic engagement.
We champion children's input through "You Said We Did" feedback channels, key working sessions, and access to independent advocates.
Collaborating seamlessly with social workers, health professionals, and local authorities to coordinate holistic progress.
We respect and nurture each child's individual heritage, dietary requirements, and religious observances with complete support.
We welcome enquiries from local authorities and social work professionals.
