Quality Foster Care Ltd | Independent Foster Care Agency

Discover the benefits of fostering with Quality Foster Care

We are an experienced fostering team who train and support foster carers across Essex and East London.

Around the clock support

Whenever you need us, we’ll be there. Choose to foster with us and you’ll be part of an experienced team who work closely together. We’ll provide professional advice and support whenever you need it.

Specialist training

We provide a free, comprehensive training package to help you grow in your foster carer role. We also find fun and supportive ways to bring our carers together, so you get to know one another and can share and learn from one another.

Local and independent

We are a small, experienced agency based in Benfleet. We have a fantastic team of foster carers who look after young people, changing their lives for the better. Our carers, together with our social workers, are like one big family.

Matching and mentoring

We have detailed discussions with you about the children who need looking after to make sure you feel you have the skills and experience to support them. You will be buddied up with an experienced foster carer who can mentor you and offer extra support.

What our foster carers say

Want to know what fostering is really like? Here’s what some of our foster carers have to say about their fostering experience.

Meet our foster families

"To anyone considering becoming a single foster carer, I strongly encourage you to check it out. I’ve been so lucky in that I have a wonderful support network around me; my friends and family have been incredible. The support workers at Quality Foster Care go above and beyond to let you know they are always there to call on; if you need any help, never be afraid to ask."

Anne

"There’s no greater feeling than knowing what is technically your job means you’re helping people at their most vulnerable find a place to grow into the people that they have the potential to become."
