In 2008 our wonderful sensory room with a heated waterbed, coloured lights and ball pool was opened at EAM House.

Upstairs we now have a further two bedrooms which are accessed by a lift.

Also a brand new kitchen was fitted in March 2009 with access for wheelchairs and has low work surfaces to enable children and young people to help in the kitchen.

EAM House is regulated by OFSTED and has twice yearly inspections.  We have recently had an OFSTED inspection and these are a few of the comments in the report:
