About Open World 2

Opening the world for today's youth.

A family-run organisation providing residential children's homes, supported accommodation and support for care leavers.

Who We Are

Who we are

Open World 2 Limited is a family-run organisation providing residential children's homes, supported accommodation and support for care leavers seeking independence.

Because we are family-run, the children we care for, their families and the professionals who work with us all become part of the Open World 2 family. We open doors to fresh starts, new opportunities and positive change.

Today we are a trusted provider of high-quality homes and support across London, Essex and Kent.

Our Philosophy

How we work

Evidence-based, compassionate, and deeply committed to transformation.

We don't view challenging behaviour as a problem to punish - we see it as communication. The adults around each child are trained to understand what children are telling us through their actions, and we work patiently to help them develop healthier ways to express their needs.

One size doesn't fit all. We design each child's support plan around their individual strengths, preferences and goals - not around what's convenient for the organisation. Their voice matters.

Our homes are designed to feel like warm, welcoming family homes - not institutions. We celebrate occasions, support milestones, and build genuine relationships beyond a purely professional duty of care.

Our goal is for every child to leave us more confident, capable and ready for life. We actively teach independence skills and encourage self-belief.

Our Standards

Working to recognised quality standards

Our children's homes are registered with Ofsted under the Children's Homes (England) Regulations 2015. Our supported accommodation for looked-after children and care leavers aged 16 and 17 operates under the Supported Accommodation (England) Regulations 2023. Our separate 18+ services are described independently and are not presented as being regulated under these same frameworks.

Safeguarding, safer recruitment and the voices of the children we care for sit at the centre of everything we do.
