How long it has been running
CQC registration dates from January 2011, so the service has been operating for around 15 years under its current registration.
CQC has published 7 overall ratings for it (2015–2023), starting at Good; it has gone up 2 and down 2 times, and is now Good.
No new overall rating has been published for 3 years. CQC re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating is not a bad sign in itself, but staff and management may have changed.
