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.
