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. ?
CQC's register shows no registered manager for this home. Every care home must have one. The home may be recruiting, or a new manager may be applying to CQC. ?
Bayford House Care Home is a 59-bed nursing home in Newbury, West Berkshire, run by Bupa Care Homes (ANS) Limited. It is registered to care for older people and younger adults. The typical home in West Berkshire has 8 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
In February 2020, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. That matches its previous rating, from July 2017. The rating is more than 5 years old. In West Berkshire, 74% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
26 of Bupa Care Homes (ANS) Limited’s 28 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. In West Berkshire, 90% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in January 2026. That is true of 92% of homes in West Berkshire. CQC's register shows no registered manager at the moment.
