Our Track Record

Led by experienced, Ofsted-approved professionals

Ofsted Approved

A proven history of running outstanding children's services

The founders of TLB Care bring direct, hands-on experience of owning and operating a thriving, Ofsted-approved nursery — currently running at over 90% occupancy. This isn't a new venture into children's care; it's an extension of a successful, regulated business built on the same values of safety, nurturing, and development.

That background means TLB Care enters the residential and supported living sector with compliance, safeguarding, and quality standards already embedded in our culture — not learned along the way.

90%+

Nursery occupancy

Ofsted

Approved & regulated

Established safeguarding culture — our team understands regulatory expectations and child protection requirements from years of operating under Ofsted scrutiny.
Proven operational management — running a 90%+ occupied setting demonstrates strong administration, staffing, and family engagement skills that translate directly to residential care.
Child development expertise — a deep understanding of how children grow, learn, and thrive — from early years through to adolescence and young adulthood.
Quality-focused from day one — the same standards that earned and maintained Ofsted approval for our nursery are the foundation of everything we do at TLB Care.
Community-rooted in Washington — we are local operators who understand the needs of the North East, building lasting relationships with local authorities and placing teams.
