Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 23 good, 10 exceptional. 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. ?
Valleyview is one of 243 care homes in Derbyshire: a 8-bed residential care home in Swadlincote, run by Achieve Together Limited. Its CQC registration covers younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. The typical home in Derbyshire has 30 beds, so this one is on the small side.
CQC's latest rating, from April 2026, is Outstanding overall. It was Outstanding for responsive and well-led as well. CQC rated safe, effective and caring as Good. Its previous rating, in May 2018, was Good, so the home has improved. That is more recent than most ratings in Derbyshire, where the typical rating is about 4 years old. 10 of the 33 standards CQC scored were exceptional, and none fell below good.
11 other homes in Derbyshire share its tier, “Outstanding”. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in October 2025. That is true of 93% of homes in Derbyshire.
