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. ?
Chesham Leys is one of 125 care homes in Buckinghamshire: a 62-bed nursing home in Chesham, run by The Fremantle Trust. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, younger adults and people with a sensory impairment. That is larger than most homes in Buckinghamshire, where the typical home has 30 beds.
In January 2018, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. That is up from Requires improvement in December 2016. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Buckinghamshire, 54% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
62 other homes in Buckinghamshire share its tier, “Good”. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in November 2025. That is true of 90% of homes in Buckinghamshire. The Fremantle Trust runs 15 care homes, and 11 of the 14 rated are Good or Outstanding. None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating.
