Our children’s service supports families from across Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Milton Keynes who have a child or young person diagnosed with a life-limiting condition. Our care is not just provided at the hospice itself but in the hospital, school, care or family home – wherever support is needed the most. Find out more about our children's care services.
Our children’s service consists of an in-patient unit, community nursing team, day support and supportive care team, all of whom will support your child and family, both at times of crisis and when you need our specialist care from day to day. You can relax, safe in the knowledge that your child is receiving high-quality support from our team of nurses, doctors, therapists and social workers.
