Childly
Childly is a specialist provider of residential care for children, proudly based in Chesterfield. The organisation supports children with a diverse range of needs, including Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties (EBD), Learning Disabilities (LD), and other complex challenges.
With a clear mission to create safe, stable homes, Childly focuses on nurturing environments where children feel valued, supported, and empowered. Its dedicated team works to help each child build confidence, develop resilience, and foster a strong sense of belonging.
Childly’s work is underpinned by its core CHILDLY values:
-
Care – Delivering consistent, compassionate care that prioritises each child’s wellbeing.
-
Hope – Encouraging children to envision a future filled with possibility and purpose.
-
Inclusion – Welcoming all children, regardless of their background or individual needs.
-
Learning – Promoting lifelong learning—practical, emotional, and academic.
-
Dignity – Upholding the rights of every child with respect and fairness.
-
Love – Building warm, trusting relationships through meaningful daily interactions.
-
Yearning – Creating spaces where children feel safe, accepted, and genuinely valued.
Childly employs the PACE model—Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, and Empathy—as a cornerstone of its therapeutic approach. This trauma-informed, child-centred framework enables staff to connect with children in a way that nurtures emotional growth and builds trust over time.
The choice of Chesterfield as a base is no coincidence. The town’s strong sense of community and robust local services provide an ideal foundation for supporting vulnerable children effectively. Reflecting on the company’s role in the area, Nigel from Childly comments:
“Chesterfield is a fantastic place to do business because of its supportive and inclusive community. We are proud to contribute to a town that values the well-being of vulnerable children and actively works towards creating better opportunities for them.”
As a proud Chesterfield Champion, Childly remains committed to improving the lives of children who need stability, care, and the unwavering belief that they matter.
