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

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)

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)

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!

Staff member (September 2025)

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.

Parent (September 2024)

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)

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!

CAMHS (February 2025)

The adults have an excellent understanding of each child’s risks and vulnerabilities. The adults in the home support the children to understand the risks that they face, while working hard to reduce the level of risk.
