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.

Working at Kennet Care has opened my eyes as to how amazing everyone is and how much you do for the children, and that it can be very rewarding.

Employee (June 2024)

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

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.

With the consistent approach, clear boundaries and overall support you have succeeded in making the house a loving home which is what each child deserves!

Agency Staff (February 2025)

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.
