Discover Eastways

A Safe, Seaside Home Where Children Can Breathe, Belong, and Begin Again

Tucked away on the peaceful Norfolk coast, Eastways is more than a residential children’s homeβ€”it’s a space where young lives are rebuilt with care, structure, and compassion. Designed to feel like a true home, Eastways offers a stable and nurturing environment for children aged 8–18 with emotional or behavioural needs.

With the beach just steps from our back gate, our home blends safety, serenity, and support in a way that few places can.

🏑 A Real Home, Not a Unit.

Every child at Eastways has their own bedroom, decorated to their taste and comfort. Communal spaces are cosy and welcomingβ€”with movie nights, baking, games, and shared mealtimes that build trust and connection.

Our ethos is simple: structure + nurture = security. We’re not institutional. We’re warm, family-style, and fully focused on emotional growth and positive relationships.

🌊 Seaside Setting, Calming Surroundings

Our home sits right on the coast in the quiet village of Bacton. From football in the garden to beach walks at sunset, the natural surroundings give young people space to reset, breathe, and simply be.

We’ve built strong ties in the local community, and our location is carefully risk-assessed to ensure a safe, low-crime environment for all children placed with us.
