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. ?
Mrs Carol Mary Leggett runs Spring Cottage, a residential care home in Padiham, Lancashire with room for 24 residents. Its CQC registration covers older people.
The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from August 2025. 77% of homes in Lancashire also score 5. In Lancashire, 83% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). Of the 5 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
Its CQC rating, from July 2019, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in December 2016. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Lancashire, 47% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
