Specialist Residential Childcare Services in Scotland

Nether Johnstone House provides specialist residential childcare services to children and young people aged 8-21 years.

We are committed to providing a home where our children and young people feel loved, safe and enabled to grow and develop. Where curiosity, experiences and opportunities are embraced and encouraged.

We believe in equality and individuality. Alongside our children and young people, our team creatively tailor childcare packages to meet individual needs. With our values steeped in a social pedagogical approach we provide each young person with a safe, supportive, trusting environment enhanced by positive relationships which promote growth, responsibility, learning and possibility.

Ciara's illustrations are incredible! Such a powerful visualisation of the scaffolding and use of language that all children need to feel safe, supported and seen. We recommend everyone reads her blog and passes it on to someone else 👏💑

The reflection offered in this blog from 4years ago, about the importance of time and pace in relationships, is a lovely reminder of what we always aim to do at NJH 💞 #creatingopportunitiesformemoriesrelationshipsandself
