Making a Real Difference

Welcome to Tulip House

Tulip House is a three bed residential children’s home, located in Oxford; which enables our children and young people to be integrated into the wider community. We provide individualised care and support for children and young people aged between 10 to 17 years old of either gender, who have Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties (EBD) as a result of early life trauma, complex or challenging behaviour, neglect, and/or family breakdown or disruption.

Our primary aim is to ‘Make a Real Difference to Young Lives’, by helping young people to turn their lives around and to enable them to fulfil their true potential. Tulip House welcomes children and young people from diverse backgrounds. It is our core objective to provide high quality care in a warm, welcoming, and nurturing environment that meets the young people’s needs. We will provide individualised care packages which work towards developing effective attachments, and longer-term stable placements.
