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.

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.

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 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)

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

Thank you for everything you have done, I appreciate it and I love it here! You are a superstar!
