Erith House

Erith House is a welcoming children’s residential care home located in Erith, Bexley. It provides a stable and nurturing environment for looked after children who may experience emotional difficulty. Furthermore, our Ofsted-registered home is designed to promote independence, confidence, and emotional wellbeing, with modern facilities, private bedrooms, and comfortable communal areas.

Our experienced care team at Erith House delivers personalised support through clear care plans, safeguarding practices, and therapeutic approaches. As a result, young people develop life skills, build healthy relationships, and achieve their individual goals. Moreover, we help children overcome challenges and reach their full potential.

In practice, that means a private bedroom each young person can settle into and make their own, comfortable communal areas for shared meals and time together, and support planned around the individual rather than the placement. The same experienced team stays alongside them as they build the everyday skills, relationships and confidence they will carry forward.
