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.

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.
