A safe place to call home
Seamab provides therapeutic, trauma-informed residential care for children and young people who need stability, understanding, and support to thrive.
Our homes are designed to feel welcoming, comfortable, and nurturing. Every environment is carefully considered so children can feel safe, cared for, and able to be themselves.
Main campus
Our main care campus is set within a natural, wooded environment and is ideally suited to children aged 5–13.
The campus includes three family-style houses where children can play, learn, explore and have fun in a safe and nurturing setting. Access to outdoor space supports regulation, curiosity and a sense of freedom.
Linlithgow service
Opened in June 2023, our Linlithgow service is a carefully restored country farmhouse designed to support older children and young people to grow with us until the age of 18, and beyond where appropriate.
By reducing unnecessary moves, young people are supported to feel safe, settled and able to focus on their future.
Our approach to care
PACE at the heart of our practice
All adults at Seamab care using the PACE approach — Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity and Empathy. This therapeutic way of working underpins everyday interactions and helps children build trust, feel understood, and develop secure relationships.
Therapeutically informed care
We believe every child deserves the best chance to grow, develop and thrive. Our care is therapeutically informed, with reflective practice embedded across teams to support continuous learning and improvement.
Skilled and experienced teams
Our care teams are highly skilled, experienced and deeply committed to improving the lives of the children we support. Staff receive ongoing training and professional development, with opportunities to gain recognised qualifications alongside hands-on experience.
Daily life at Seamab
A healthy, rich childhood
We focus on every aspect of children’s lives, including opportunities to be outdoors every day. Play is actively encouraged and recognised as an important way for children to learn, connect and regulate.
Children are supported to play and explore alongside caring adults, both indoors and outdoors, helping to create joyful, meaningful experiences.
Routines and rhythms
Predictable routines help children feel safe and secure. At the same time, we remain flexible and responsive to individual needs, recognising that no two children are the same.
Family connections
Where appropriate and safe, we support children to maintain relationships with their families and other significant people in their lives, recognising the importance of connection and identity.
Our care culture
The positive culture at Seamab is built on:
Strong role modelling
Professional curiosity and courage
Working together
Our care teams work closely with education and therapy colleagues to provide joined-up, holistic support. Regular multi-disciplinary meetings ensure each child’s plan is reviewed, adapted and aligned across all areas of their life.
