The registered provider

East Sussex County Council runs 7 CQC-registered services; 7 of the 7 with a rating are Good or Outstanding (100%), against 86% for the same mix of services across England.

All 7 are in East Sussex, so it is a local operator rather than a national chain.

How long it has been running

CQC registration dates from August 2016, so the service has been operating for around 10 years under its current registration.

CQC has published 2 overall ratings for it (2017–2020), starting at Good and staying Good every time.

At 6 years old, the rating may not reflect the current team. CQC prioritises higher-risk services, so ask about recent changes rather than assuming the worst.
