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.

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.

Social Work Team Manager (October 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)

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)

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)

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.

Employee (November 2025)

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 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 miss my (child) so much but I am glad that ther are in a place that care and support their needs. Thank you for all the help you give (child) and for ensuring I am part of (child) lives.

Parent (June 2024)

We are so grateful of the way everyone supports us as a school.
