CEDAR HOUSE
cEDAR hOUSE IS COMING SOON
Building on the success of our award-shortlisted Palm Grove and thriving Barrows Green homes, Cedar House is opening soon with the same commitment to supporting children through a truly holistic approach. We focus on the key factors influencing each child’s wellbeing – working alongside them to set personal goals, map out positive changes, and feel fully prepared and confident for the next chapter of their lives.
about our registered manager
Lauren Maher has worked extensively with children across a range of settings, developing a strong commitment to delivering high-quality, child-centred care. Since joining Sure Steps Support Services in December 2025, Lauren has played a key role as Team Leader at Barrow’s Grove. We are now delighted to see Lauren step into her new role as Registered Manager at Cedar House, where she will lead the team in creating a nurturing, stable, and supportive environment for our young people as our new home opens.
Layout
The detached two-storey home is situated in a sought-after, quiet suburban area of Widnes, surrounded by a peaceful and family-friendly community. It features a modern and spacious lounge, a convenient downstairs toilet, and a contemporary kitchen-diner with patio doors leading directly out to the garden. The home also boasts a cosy games room equipped with a TV, gaming chairs, and a 5-in-1 games table – ideal for relaxing and socialising.
On the second floor, there is modern family bathroom along with two bedrooms, giving each child the opportunity to personalise their room and make it truly their own. Outside, the large, fully enclosed garden features outdoor furniture to enjoy in the warmer months, while essential safety measures – such as a lockable utility room and safety locks on drawers and cupboards – ensure a secure, reassuring environment throughout.
Amenities
Located close to reputable local schools and a range of places of worship, the area boasts a low crime rate and a wide variety of activities for children to explore. Excellent transport links provide easy access across Widnes and to surrounding areas, ensuring children can comfortably access local leisure facilities, community events, and everyday services.

Cedar House offers short, medium and long-term placements for children who need support currently in their lives, through services delivered based on nurturing informed practice.
