Method
We read ratings from the Care Quality Commission's published register. CQC is the independent regulator of care in England, and a service appears here only when its current overall rating is Outstanding. We assign each service to the county of its nearest town on The Care Panel. Every import of new ratings updates the list: a service that loses Outstanding is removed and a newly rated one is added.
Places here cannot be bought, applied for or won by nomination. Check the rating date on each profile, as some ratings are several years old.
A "Top rated 2026" badge is available to providers on this list through their profile page. Placed on their website, it links to the profile and updates itself when the rating changes. Claim your profile.
