About
Children's residential care in Cheshire and Merseyside
Keys supports children and young people placed by local authorities across Cheshire & Merseyside. Each home is registered with and inspected by Ofsted, the regulator for children's social care in England.
Homes provide spacious bedrooms, communal living areas, outdoor recreational space, on-site educational resources, and dedicated therapeutic rooms. Placements can be single-occupancy or dual, and homes range from one to six beds, giving placement teams choice across the county and the wider North West.
