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. ?
Hollybank Trust runs Poplars, a residential care home in Mirfield, Kirklees with room for 12 residents. It is registered to care for people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment. It is a small home for Kirklees, where the median is 23 beds.
Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in June 2025. 79% of homes in Kirklees also score 5. 68 other homes in Kirklees share its tier, “Good”. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. 6 of Hollybank Trust’s 8 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups).
In March 2020, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. That matches its previous rating, from July 2017. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 40% of homes in Kirklees. Here is how rating age varies by council.
