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

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 so much for everything you guys have done for (child). Without you guys, I wouldn’t have the (child) I have today.

Parent (March 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)

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.

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.

I want to share my deepest gratitude. I am grateful to have played a role in (child) life and thankful to have worked alongside you all. I am immensely proud to have been part of this transformative work!
