Manilla Support Services
Manilla Support Services is a Northamptonshire-based care provider which is committed to delivering high-quality, trauma-informed, child-centred care that places young people at the heart of everything we do.
We operate two distinct services across Northamptonshire: Cloverdale House, a residential children’s home in Finedon for young people aged 8–17, and Gannett House, a supported accommodation service in Wellingborough for looked-after children and care leavers aged 16–17 preparing for independence. Both services share a common ethos of safety, nurture, and therapeutic support.
We work collaboratively with families, social workers, education providers, and external professionals to ensure every young person receives the coordinated, holistic support they need to thrive.

The 6 B’s Therapeutic Model
Our therapeutic model is built on six core principles that guide every aspect of our care. These principles create a framework for helping children heal, grow, and reach their full potential.
Be Safe
Creating an environment where children feel physically and emotionally secure. Safety is the foundation upon which all growth and healing is built, and we ensure every young person in our care feels protected at all times.
Belong
Fostering a sense of belonging and acceptance within our home and community. Every child deserves to feel they are a valued member of a caring group, where their identity and background are celebrated and respected.
Bond
Building positive, trusting relationships with staff and peers. We recognise that healthy attachments are vital for emotional development, and we actively support children in forming meaningful connections with others.
Build
Developing skills, confidence, and resilience for the future. Through structured activities, education, and life skills development, we help children build the foundations they need for independent, fulfilling lives.
Believe
Encouraging self-belief and aspiration in every young person. We help children recognise their own strengths and potential, fostering a positive self-image and the confidence to pursue their dreams and ambitions.
Be All We Can Be
Empowering children and staff alike to achieve their full potential. We are committed to continuous growth and development, ensuring that everyone in our home is supported to be the very best version of themselves.
