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 rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in April 2020. That matches its previous rating, from July 2017. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 31% of homes in Barnsley. Here is how rating age varies by council.
