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.

Deputy Head Teacher (September 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)

It is clear to see how much you all care and this is shown when you keep in touch with children after they have left.

Virtual School (October 2024)

The adults have an excellent understanding of each child’s risks and vulnerabilities. The adults in the home support the children to understand the risks that they face, while working hard to reduce the level of risk.

Ofsted (August 2025)

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)

Children live in a welcoming, well-furnished home. Children are consistently listened to and their views are valued. Staff fully understand the risks to the children in the home

Ofsted, January 2024

I can go on and on about the amazing job that all the staff that work with (child) did for them. You are all exceptional, understanding, superb and outstanding.

Parent (September 2024)

The home demonstrates a strong commitment to supporting the educational outcomes of children. They maintain a child-centred approach, focusing on the unique requirements of each child.

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.
