Cherry Tree Cottage in North Hertfordshire is an Ofsted-registered children’s residential home offering interim placements for young people experiencing or recovering from mental health crisis.
It opened in December 2023 following a joint commitment from Hertfordshire County Council and the Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (HPFT) to ensure the “best outcomes” for this cohort of young people. With £1.4 million investment from the council and additional funding committed by HPFT, Cherry Tree Cottage was transformed from a derelict building into a four-bedroom home that is “safe, warm and welcoming”.
During the 12-week placements, young people aged 12 to 17 receive tailored therapeutic support from a multi-disciplinary care team made up of health and social care professionals.
