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

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)

Transitions which could have been very problematic have been smooth because of the diligent work completed by the home and management team, thank you very much for all you do.

Head of Commissing (June 2024)

I wanted to say thank you for everything you did for me whilst I was in your care, it was a great house and I miss it dearly!

Child (May 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)

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

Virtual School (October 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)

I would like to say thank you all so much for helping (child). Thank you so very much for caring for my (child) in my absence, I couldn’t ask for more.

Parent (August 2024)

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 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)

The staff go above and beyond for (child), the memories created are outstanding and the evidence of these in memory books are the best I have seen in my role.
