The Daisies Children's Home
Meet The Team
Alison Harris
Homes Manager
I’m the Manger at The Daisies. I have 30 over years’ experience with supporting Adults and Young People with Learning Disabilities. I have managed both adult and children’s homes as well as worked in day and residential schools.
I have a passion for supporting everyone to achieve their potential. I value fun and nurturing as one of the most important and rewarding parts of my daily approach.
I have two children as well as a dog and cat and love to travel and spend time with friends and family. When I am not out and about, I love to curl up and read a good book and am always looking for recommendations for a good read.
My aims and wishes for The Daisies is that the young people who will call it home, are happy, safe, valued, have a voice, are understood and loved.
"Staff take every opportunity to make children feel special, celebrating all achievements and ensuring that the home is a lively, fun and happy environment."
