Welcome to Witham House
A Safe and Supportive Solo Placement Home in Northamptonshire
Witham House provides specialist care for children and young people aged 5–17 years with complex needs.
A Place to Belong
Witham House is a warm, homely environment designed for solo placements. Every

We recognise that many children requiring solo placements have experienced trauma,
instability, or multiple placement breakdowns. Witham House offers the consistency and
security they need to begin building trust and stability.
