About Meadowmill

Meadowmill is a children and young people's care service located in Tranent, East Lothian, operated by East Lothian Council. As a council-run provision, it forms part of the local authority's commitment to supporting children and young people within their community. The service has not yet been assessed by the Care Inspectorate, meaning a formal quality grade is not currently available for prospective families and carers to review.

The service provides general care for children and young people, offering a supportive environment tailored to the needs of younger residents. East Lothian Council brings its experience in public sector care to the running of this service, working to ensure those in its care receive appropriate support and a safe, nurturing environment.

Families seeking further information about current capacity, specific care arrangements, or upcoming inspection outcomes are encouraged to contact the service directly or visit the Care Inspectorate website for the latest updates.
