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 Chestnuts is a 5-bed residential care home in Croydon. The home is its own registered provider. Its CQC registration covers younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a learning disability or autism. That is smaller than most homes in Croydon, where the typical home has 13 beds.
Its CQC rating, from July 2022, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its previous rating, in November 2019, was Requires improvement, so the home has improved.
The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 3 (generally satisfactory), from September 2025. 79% of homes in Croydon score the top mark of 5. 92 other homes in Croydon share its tier, “Good”. None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating.
