In February 2012 we opened our first Family residential assessment centre based in Burnley. This is known as ‘Finsley’ house.

Following this in September 2014 we opened our other centre in Manchester known as ‘Chester Rd’

There are 6 flats in total, 3 are based at Finsley house and the other 3 at Chester Rd. Each flat is designed to take one family and we can accommodate either mothers, fathers or couples and will provide a 12 week assessment, utilising the highly regarded PAMS 4.0 parenting assessment tool. 

Kaleidoscope is able to support parents and their children from a range of backgrounds, offering opportunities for parents to demonstrate their full potential in terms of positive parenting.
Kaleidoscope is able to offer support to:

• Young Parents

Our centres exist to:

• Support parents/grandparents/carers of either gender to develop their attachment with their children, in a safe and supportive environment.

Safety and Support

The centre's exist to provide a safe environment for parents to bond with their baby and/or children whilst being supported by our experienced teams of trained staff.
