Registration
Ofsted Registration Support
Registration support for children's homes, supported accommodation and fostering services, including the Regulation 44 and quality-of-care evidence Ofsted looks for.
The problem
Why this matters
Children's services carry a heavier evidential burden than adult social care, and Ofsted's expectations of a responsible individual and registered manager are correspondingly higher. We prepare the application, the statement of purpose and the people, so the registration visit finds a service that is genuinely ready rather than one that is still assembling itself.
What you can expect
- A statement of purpose that stands up to scrutiny
- A responsible individual and manager who can evidence their suitability
- Locations, staffing and safeguarding arrangements ready for the registration visit
Who this is for
Providers opening children's homes, supported accommodation or fostering services in England.

“MindBridge took us from anxious about inspection to genuinely confident. The evidence was in order, the team knew their stuff, and we came through our CQC visit rated Good.”
“Frank and the team cut through the noise. Within a quarter we had a strategy the whole board could get behind and the operational discipline to deliver it.”
“The train-the-trainer programme meant the improvements stayed with us. A year on, our own people are still running the sessions MindBridge designed.”
