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.

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)

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

Child (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.

I want to share my deepest gratitude. I am grateful to have played a role in (child) life and thankful to have worked alongside you all. I am immensely proud to have been part of this transformative work!

Kennet Care has significantly improved our understanding of the Children's Homes Regulations and adherence to Regulation 32 and we have used this to improve our profiles and standards across the services.

Recruitment Agency, July 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.

Ofsted (August 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.

Employee (November 2025)

This is one of the best homes around!

Independent Reviewing Officer (December 2024)

Thank you so much for everything you guys have done for (child). Without you guys, I wouldn’t have the (child) I have today.
