Frequently asked questions

How is this Top 10 list calculated?
We rank providers using published CQC data. Listings must have a computed score based on overall rating, inspection domains (where available), and recency (inspection date). Highest score ranks first.
Why are some providers not included?
Providers without enough published CQC data to calculate a score (or without a matched CQC record) won’t appear in the Top 10. They may still be listed in the full directory pages.
How often is the Top 10 updated?
We refresh rankings when new CQC publication data is available. Latest inspection date in this district: 2025-09-24.
Is this an official NHS/CQC endorsement?
No. This is an independent ranking view built from published CQC inspection data to help users compare local services more quickly.
What should I do after picking a provider from the Top 10?
Open the provider page for contact details and directions, and use the CQC link (where present) to verify the latest official inspection report.
