So…what’s life like at Biggle Corner?
Every child’s time is precious. Daily life at Biggle Corner is designed to provide children with the best opportunities for personal growth throughout small community living, activities and learning. We are determined that through this holistic approach, something awesome can happen every day; that every day can make a precious difference.
Daily life…
At Biggle Corner, we treat every interaction, activity or even routine domestic task as an important opportunity for relationship building, learning and development through positive reinforcement – and therefore an important stepping stone towards good outcomes.
Our home is designed for rewarding small-group living and our whole team are dedicated to keeping children involved in every aspect of their lives. We follow a careful daily routine enriched with individual opportunities for each child to learn and grow toward their own unique potential.
Real sense of community…
At Biggle Corner, children experience life in a genuine home-from-home community. We recognise that Biggle Corner is not really ‘home’ but take every step to make sure that we provide all the experiences of a good one.
We share discussions and decisions as a group, with respect for each other’s views.
We also encourage interaction with the local community in Biggleswade, where we are able to take advantage of the safe environment and range of community groups and activities.
Learning…
For children unable to attend group education, an educational assessment and transition programme is provided in partnership with a local specialist school and making use of our dedicated activity and assessment block.
(Please note that Biggle Corner is not a school.)
Rich and varied activities…
To respond to each child’s unique needs and build on their individual strengths, we complement evidence-based practice and behavioural models with a wide range of therapeutic activities - from physiotherapy to exercise, yoga to floortime play.
We take this creative, holistic approach to support individual wellbeing, relationship building, physical development and learning – attending to the many factors and building blocks that play a part in each child’s progress, just like they do for us all.
