When you foster with us, you become part of the family. Here’s what people say about us!
Our children…
I think Sandra is amazing as she can put a smile on your face. I have come to all of the days out and they were all excellent. I loved them all but my favourite has to be Star Wars because it was a brilliant time. I had lots of fun. I hope there will be more because I have loved being at Eastern Fostering Services. Thank you so much, it has been incredible.
They [the foster carer and the agency] are doing a brilliant job. If I wasn’t with this agency it would be 10 times worse. No one would remind them [the placing authority] what they should be doing.
At Eastern Fostering Services, they are always kind and caring and you can ask them anything and they have very good social workers.
We do loads of fun stuff with Eastern Fostering Services. I like the talent show, it’s really fun. Oh and the beach days!
10 out of 10’ because, ‘they are so lovely and kind. They go the extra mile.
I don’t feel like a foster child anymore, I feel like a normal boy with a normal family.

Our carers…
The Fostering Assessment was a really positive experience for us. It made us wish we had done it earlier and not been put off by the horror stories. We are now very much enjoying fostering with Eastern Fostering Services – thank you EFS!car I drove, but the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child.
Our social worker has been developing a Cambridgeshire group of carers and we meet regularly and feel like we’ve known each other for ever, (which we really haven’t). The other carers are a great support and we regularly message each other when we need help or to encourage each other.

I feel protected because there is so much experience in Eastern Fostering Services, they are all about the children as well as looking at how best to help us.

Going in to see the team at EFS is like stepping into a warm bath. Warm and welcoming and it is obvious they care greatly about the children and carers.

I love the fact it’s a small team, everybody is interested in and aware of, all of the children. I never need to explain the children’s needs.
