Kennet Care offers residential children’s homes catering for the needs of young people between the ages of 8 and 17 years old.

We aim to create a nurturing environment that is safe and supportive, enabling young people to recover from past life experiences and grow to achieve their full potential.

We offer a warm and caring atmosphere to a young person or siblings, who, for whatever reason are unable to live within their own families. Wherever possible admissions and discharges will be in a planned way to accommodate and work with young people as long as is necessary to achieve the best outcome for their future.

Working With

Strong working relationships with professionals mean that there is consistency across all aspects of the children’s lives, and children know what is expected of them. Children are supported to have their voices heard by those who make decisions about their lives. The adults advocate for them effectively, to ensure that the children’s wishes are understood.

Ofsted (August 2025)

Thank you for all your help and support over the years, it has been so helpful in communicating with (child). I am so pleased they have kept up communication with yourselves despite becoming an adult!

Personal Advisor (August 2024)

May I take this opportunity to thank Kennet Care for all the support that has been provided to (child), despite the challenges I know (child) really likes the placement.

Social Worker Team Manager (January 2025)

With the consistent approach, clear boundaries and overall support you have succeeded in making the house a loving home which is what each child deserves!

Agency Staff (February 2025)

Children enjoy warm and caring relationships with the adults who look after them, the adults have an excellent understanding of each child’s risks and vulnerabilities and the home is well managed by a competent and experienced management team.

Ofsted (August 2025)

It is refreshing to see a provider who clearly has the best interests of the child at heart rather than serving notice when the ‘going gets tough'.

Commissioner (July 2024)

There has been so much change with (child) since they first arrived and I am sure this is
testament to all the hard work you have invested.

Clinical Psychotherapist (February 2025)

The home has demonstrated a strong commitment to supporting the educational outcomes of our looked after children.

Virtual School (October 2024)

I have only been at Kennet Care for 3 weeks but wanted to share with you how supported I have felt having met a number of colleagues. Everyone has been welcoming, friendly and kind meaning I have felt at ease and not judged in any way.

This is very different than my last place of work and shows me that not every care organisation treats their employees the same way.

The Training & Induction Manager gets a special mention, she has been absolutely amazing and the amount of knowledge she has is incredible.

Employee (November 2025)

Thank you for everything you have done, I appreciate it and I love it here! You are a superstar!
