About Little Poppins
Here at Little Poppins, we are a residential care home nestled in the heart of Sidmouth, Devon, offering a warm and genuinely homely environment for the people who live with us. We specialise in supporting adults with learning disabilities and autism, with a particular focus on younger adults who deserve a place where they feel truly understood, respected and at home. Alongside our residential care, we also offer respite care for those who need a short break or some additional support during more demanding periods. We know how important it is for families to feel confident that their loved ones are in safe, caring hands, and we take that responsibility seriously. Life at Little Poppins is built around the individual. We take time to get to know each person, learning what matters to them, what brings them joy, and how they prefer to spend their days. Support is shaped around the person rather than the other way around, and we work closely with families, advocates and other professionals to make sure everyone is involved in the decisions that affect the people we support. Sidmouth itself is a wonderful place to call home. The town has a real community feel, with beautiful coastal walks, local shops and plenty going on throughout the year. We encourage the people we support to be part of that community in whatever way feels right for them. Our team genuinely cares about the people who live here. We are not just colleagues going through the motions; we are a close knit group who know our residents well and are committed to making everyday life as comfortable, fulfilling and enjoyable as possible. If you would like to find out more about Little Poppins or arrange a visit, we would love to hear from you.
