SLEEPOVER CARE PROPERTIES
Providing Flexible, Comfortable Properties to Support Respite Foster Care
Sleepover care — also known as short-break or respite care — plays a vital role in supporting long-term fostering placements. It gives children a safe, welcoming environment to stay in for a night, weekend, or school holiday, while offering their regular carers a short period of rest.
We help foster carers and children’s homes by supplying properties that are perfectly suited to these low-commitment, high-impact placements.
The Property Needs for Sleepover Care
Although short in duration, sleepover placements require thoughtfully prepared homes that offer safety, comfort, and a sense of familiarity — especially for older children who may be managing complex emotions or fragile relationships.
✔ Safe and Consistent
-
Compliant with fostering safety standards
-
Well-maintained properties with regular checks
-
Located in quiet, residential neighbourhoods to minimise stress
3. Supporting Placement Stability
Regular short breaks benefit everyone. We support long-term carers by providing the relief they need to maintain quality relationships and prevent burnout — without disrupting the child’s experience of care.
✔ Comfortable and Homely Environments
-
Warm, clean, and welcoming spaces
-
Fully furnished bedrooms with soft furnishings, storage, and personal touches
-
Family-style settings to reduce the institutional feel
1. Flexible Property Use
We provide homes that are available for short-stay, weekend, or school holiday use. Whether it's one weekend a month or more frequent arrangements, we tailor property availability to suit your schedule and placement needs.
