About Ivie Lodge

Ivie Lodge provides medium- to long-term care for up to four children with learning disabilities who may also have emotional, social and behavioural difficulties as a result of past trauma. We offer a happy, homely, safe, nurturing and stimulating environment where children feel safe and positive, cared for by a motivated, passionate and committed team. We aim to help children return to their families where possible, or to achieve a permanent placement suited to their long-term needs building the skills to live as independently as possible.

Children and young people with a diagnosis (or emerging diagnosis) of autism, atypical autism, learning disability or global developmental delay, and associated difficulties. Their diagnosis is never what defines them.

Aims and ethos

The HEART care model comes to life at Ivie Lodge through warm, consistent relationships, predictable routines and a therapeutic environment built around each child’s needs.

The home & location. A large, high-standard five-bedroom detached family home in Leicester, with generous gardens, two lounges and spacious bedrooms children help personalise. Close to the city, parks, swimming and skating, and easily reached by road and public transport.
