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. ?
Cherry Trees is one of 123 care homes in Kirklees: a 8-bed residential care home in Huddersfield, run by Kirklees Metropolitan Council. It is registered to care for people with a learning disability or autism. The typical home in Kirklees has 23 beds, so this one is on the small side.
Kirklees Metropolitan Council runs 3 care homes, and 2 of the 3 rated are Good or Outstanding. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from October 2026. 79% of homes in Kirklees also score 5. In Kirklees, 78% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%).
In December 2018, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. That matches its previous rating, from April 2016. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 40% of ratings in Kirklees are as old (how rating age varies by council).
