My father came to Cherry Tree Nursing Home for the last three months of his life from a hospice. What started as such a difficult time for all of us quickly became such a blessing. When it comes down to it what is really important about a nursing home is not the 'bling and baubles' but the care that
our loved ones receive and at Cherry Tree it was wonderful. I spent a lot of time with my father in his room and I can honestly say I never heard a raised voice, only respect and empathy for the patients. It is a busy place and not perfect all of the time but the team always listen to any concerns however small and endeavour to rectify them. Nothing was too much trouble, we installed tv and his favourite chair from home - even a room change for a better view of the beautiful garden. I want to thank them all for making the last three months of my precious dad's life happy and my time with him something to cherish - I was able to be his daughter whilst they gave him dignity and comfort.

My mother has been a resident at Cherry Tree for nearly 2 years. Although times have been extremely hard during the pandemic, during my last few visits as a designated relative, it has been lovely to see my mother smile, see her out of her room in the lounge area, and has been encouraged to hear she
has joined in with some of the activities downstairs. I would like to thank all the staff for their care and hard work. Thank you.

My stepmother spent only the last two months of her life at Cherry Tree. She was well looked after, and in her lucid moments, said as much. Whenever we asked about her, the nursing staff not only knew who she was but also had a detailed knowledge and understanding of her condition.
In these days of
COVID, we had little opportunity to see or appreciated the service provided or the opportunities that are accessible. However, we are completely satisfied with the care provided. Consequently, I have left some boxes marked as satisfactory, not out of dissatisfaction but out of lack of knowledge.
Finally, a big thank you to the staff who looked after her.

My wife, aged 91, has been resident in Cherry Tree Nursing Home for the past seven months during which time she has received care which I can only describe as being second to none. I have the impression that this home is run by management and staff [without exception] that are truly dedicated to their
work and always ready with that extra TLC which makes all the difference to an ailing patient.

For the short time my family member was in the home, he was treated with dignity, respect and compassion at all times.
The scenery at the home, with the pond and outdoor space, made the stay very welcoming and relaxing. Security could be improved, no staff at reception most of the time and no buzzer
entry at the front door.
Thank you for providing fantastic care.

The staff are very kind and friendly. They respond quickly when assistance is needed. I have no other experience of care homes but am happy that my wife is receiving a good level of care.


At the moment, reception is unmanned hence the poor safety/security mark but I think action is being taken with

this. Cherry Tree Nursing Home seems to be a happy caring place.

Mum received palliative care in the new wing. She was looked after with the utmost respect, care and attention.


The family was made welcome at any time, day and night, and we would like to thank all staff for their support.

As a relative of a resident, in my view, the whole staff are friendly and willing to help in any way they can. Nothing seems too much trouble for them.


There would be no hesitation to recommending Cherry Tree Nursing Home to family and friends.

My wife has been a resident for about 18 months since she is unable to walk due to Parkinsons and needs to be hoisted from bed to chair etc. Initially, we were drawn to Cherry Tree by the setting, friendly welcome and happy atmosphere and have not been disappointed. A slight "hiccup" late last year
with lots of staff changes but back on an "even keel" now. Carers are friendly and attentive and food freshly prepared and good. The grounds are a delight and we spend most of the time outdoors in the summer months.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.673)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.673) out of 10 for Cherry Tree Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 34 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.673 for Cherry Tree Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (279 Excellents x 5) + (96 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 391 Ratings = 4.673

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Cherry Tree Nursing Home is based on 34 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 52 registered maximum number of service users is 10.4, which has been reached with 34 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
