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

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)

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 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.

Ofsted (August 2025)

Thank you for all your help and support over the years, it has been so helpful in communicating with (child). I am so pleased they have kept up communication with yourselves despite becoming an adult!

Personal Advisor (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)

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)

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)

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

I can go on and on about the amazing job that all the staff that work with (child) did for them. You are all exceptional, understanding, superb and outstanding.
