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. ?
Sherwood Court is one of 246 care homes in Hertfordshire: a 8-bed residential care home in Hatfield, run by Caretech Community Services (No.2) Limited. CQC registers it to look after people with a learning disability or autism. That is smaller than most homes in Hertfordshire, where the typical home has 30 beds.
Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. Caretech Community Services (No.2) Limited runs 24 care homes, and 22 of the 24 rated are Good or Outstanding. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from August 2025. 92% of homes in Hertfordshire also score 5. Across Hertfordshire, 76% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in January 2018. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in October 2015. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 53% of homes in Hertfordshire. Here is how rating age varies by council.
