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 With

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)

This is one of the best homes around!

Independent Reviewing Officer (December 2024)

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

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.

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)

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

Deputy Head Teacher (September 2024)

May I take this opportunity to thank Kennet Care for all the support that has been provided to (child), despite the challenges I know (child) really likes the placement.

Social Worker Team Manager (January 2025)

Thank you for everything you do for (child) and continue to do so. You are all amazing.

Parent (September 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!

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.
