Think Fostering was created with a simple but powerful mission: to make it easier for people considering fostering to find the right agency for them.
There are over 80,000 children in care across the UK, and thousands more foster carers are needed every year. We believe that by bringing together trusted, Ofsted-registered fostering agencies in one place, we can help more people take that first step towards changing a child's life.

We are an independent comparison platform — not a fostering agency. Here is how we help.
Compare fostering agencies by location, Ofsted rating, types of fostering, allowances, and support packages.
Comprehensive guides on the fostering process, eligibility, assessments, allowances, and what life as a foster carer looks like.
Contact agencies directly through our platform. No middlemen, no pressure — just the information you need to make the right choice.
Every agency we list is Ofsted-registered. We verify all listings and present information clearly so you can make informed choices.
Our platform is completely free for prospective foster carers. We believe cost should never be a barrier to finding the right agency.
We are committed to providing accurate, up-to-date information. Our content is regularly reviewed to reflect the latest guidance and best practice.
We work alongside agencies, local authorities, and fostering organisations to support the wider fostering sector and recruit the carers children need.
We welcome Ofsted-registered fostering agencies to list on our platform for free. A listing on Think Fostering gives your agency visibility to thousands of prospective carers actively researching fostering.
Our basic listings are completely free — no hidden fees, no contracts, no obligations. We believe in supporting the fostering community.
