Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 30 good, 2 exceptional, 1 below good. Use “See the breakdown” on each key question for its standards. ?
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 Cherry Tree is one of 66 care homes in Sutton: a 4-bed residential care home in Sutton, run by Modus Care Limited. It is registered to care for younger adults, people with a learning disability or autism and people with mental health needs. That is smaller than most homes in Sutton, where the typical home has 8 beds.
In July 2025, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in March 2019. The typical rating in Sutton is about 3 years old, so this one is fairly recent. CQC found some shortfalls in “consent to care and treatment”, one of 1 standards out of 33 scored below good.
Modus Care Limited runs 18 care homes, and 12 of the 18 rated are Good or Outstanding. None of the 5 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in April 2024. That is true of 93% of homes in Sutton. 44 other homes in Sutton share its tier, “Good”.
