The Beacon Mental Health Treatment Services
Unlike Bradgate, which covers a wide age range at the same hospital, The Beacon is specifically for children, reflecting a dedicated children’s mental health service within the Glenfield Hospital site.
Because it’s a newly registered, children-specific unit, parents and carers may want to ask the trust directly about current staffing and ward environment rather than relying on a published CQC rating, which doesn’t yet exist for this service.

How Much Does Treatment at The Beacon Cost?
As an NHS children’s mental health unit, care at The Beacon is funded by the NHS rather than charged to families.
A privately funded equivalent for a child’s mental health inpatient care in the East Midlands would typically cost in a similar range to adult residential mental health care, roughly £10,000 to £30,000 a month, though this isn’t the usual route into an NHS children’s unit like this one.
