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.

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

The home is lovely and nurturing, the children are looked after beautifully by dedicated staff. The manager should proud of all the work she has done and everyone is just fantastic!

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

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)

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.

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)

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.

Children are protected from being cared from by inappropriate people through thorough safer recruitment checks, with the same high standards being held when agency or temporary appointments are made.

Ofsted (August 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)

I am impressed with how far you have come with (child) compared to when I first started
working with you. They seem extremely settled and secure. As are the staff team and that is
something to really pat yourself on the back about!
