"Mixed experience, but great potential"

We've had a bit of a rollercoaster ride at Denby Grange, to be honest. My son has made progress, but there have been times when we've felt a bit uncertain about the approach. However, the commitment to the EPIC values and the staff's dedication to each child's needs are truly commendable. With some tweaks, I believe Denby Grange could really excel.

"Life-changing care for my daughter"

I'm so grateful for the support my daughter received at Denby Grange. The staff were always attentive and understanding. The Family Support Services were invaluable, helping us navigate the challenges of her SEMH needs. I've seen her blossom into a confident, capable young woman. Sarah T, Former parent, 2022-05-15
