Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 22 good, 11 exceptional. Use “See the breakdown” on each key question for its standards. ?
CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
23 Cecil Road is one of 243 care homes in Derbyshire: a 6-bed residential care home in Dronfield, run by Voyage 1 Limited. Its CQC registration covers younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. That is smaller than most homes in Derbyshire, where the typical home has 30 beds.
The current CQC rating is Outstanding, published in October 2026. It was Outstanding for effective and responsive as well. Safe, caring and well-led were rated Good. That is up from Good in April 2018. Ratings in Derbyshire are typically about 4 years old, which makes this one newer than most. 11 of the 33 standards CQC scored were exceptional, and none fell below good.
None of the 6 nearest homes is rated Outstanding. Voyage 1 Limited runs 241 care homes, and 217 of the 238 rated are Good or Outstanding. In Derbyshire, 81% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%).
