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. ?
The home changed owner in April 2026. Its rating dates from before the change. ?
This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. ?
The Cherries is a 6-bed residential care home in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, run by White Leaf Support Ltd. It is registered to care for people with a learning disability or autism. It is a small home for Buckinghamshire, where the median is 30 beds.
White Leaf Support Ltd has run the home since April 2026, when it changed owner. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. It is one of 3 homes run by White Leaf Support Ltd. 3 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in September 2025. 90% of homes in Buckinghamshire also score 5. 62 other homes in Buckinghamshire share its tier, “Good”.
Its CQC rating, from November 2017, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. The rating was carried over from a previous registration, which usually happens when a home changes owner. That matches its previous rating, from July 2015. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Buckinghamshire, 54% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
