Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum is currently on 7 weeks respite with the hope of a permanent placement. The facilities are excellent and the staff are extremely friendly, caring, helpful and enthusiastic with all they have to deal with. The food is excellent and mum has been very happy here. I joined her in a karaoke morning
with other residents which she really enjoyed and also the afternoon tea party. The management is very kind and helpful and I would say this is a 5-star establishment.

My husband was admitted to Icknield COurt as an emergency admission eleven days later I visited home. I was truly impressed. The home is clean, tidy and well run. The staff are exceptional in the way they care. The activities programme is well thought out. The food is excellent, the portions are more
than adequate. I would not hesitate to ask Icknield Court to take my husband for respite care or even long term should the need arise.

My mother came into Icknield Court at the end of March 2021. As a family, we were concerned that she would settle in. She is so happy and contented. The staff are amazing, all of them, so kind and caring. I would not hesitate to recommend this lovely care home. A home from home. Thank you to the manager
and his lovely staff.

My mother has been with you for 2/3 weeks at present, on my visits and phone calls I have found everyone to be very pleasant, helpful and a good willingness to help. It is a difficult time for all at present but this certainly does not seem to have affected the staff and colleagues willingness to do
an excellent job. I have not seen the rooms etc but I am sure they are very adequate. I have not seen activities etc but the staff are excellent.

Review from Sharla M F (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 8 July 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I’d like to say how wonderful the two members of staff were at the door when we arrived at 1ish to set up for Nanas 100th! They were so welcoming, friendly and helped my father and me do our flow tests. Our party room was large & Homely. Our Pink theme was honoured, they provided a pink tablecloth,
pretty crockery and napkins etc. The sandwiches were delicious, fresh and nicely presented. The manager exceeded all expectations by kindly going out of his way to assist us with connecting my presentation to the care homes system. We could never have done it without him, that kind act made my Nana’s birthday celebration all that more special and removed a week's worth of stress from my shoulders! I loved some of the special touches, the piano, drum kit, bongo drums. The chicken pen, the gardens, the projection of the moving butterfly’s in the hallway, football decorations in the lobby. Nana has warmed to the carer and others I’m yet to meet. Loved the physio lady, she was fab!

We had such a glorious afternoon with our relative, celebrating her 100th birthday! It's Covid, and we were all so nervous about what was/is doable - and yet, the entire team made us as comfortable and helped us most. A wonderful tea party. While I must add - still caring (lifting, moving, handling)
for our relative - so grateful. It's such a beautiful place. Clean, beautifully kept - did not expect such kindness.

Review from D P (Father of Resident) published on 11 June 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Only having been able under strict Covid regulations to travel from Scotland into England, my wife and I journeyed by car early in May to visit our daughter who is a youthful resident at Icknield Court. Following a very long trip, we were welcomed with much dignity and respect as aged senior citizens.
It had been over one year since we had been able to see our beloved daughter in person, except for regular video calls and, of course, emotions were very evident. During the three days we were in the area we could not have been treated more respectfully by both management and staff, including being able to snack, lunch and breakfast with our daughter as well as being able to take her out for a run in the car. Only departure back home to Scotland, for now, was difficult for us both to cope with.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.644)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.644) out of 10 for Icknield Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.811 for Icknield Court is calculated as follows: ( (149 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.811
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.833 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Icknield Court is based on 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 90 registered maximum number of service users is 18. 15 Positive Reviews ÷ 18 = 0.833
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Emma

Emma Fielder

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2023

I began my career in Health and Social Care back in 2002 in my hometown of North Wales, working as a Care Assistant. It was there that I discovered my passion for supporting others. In 2007, I became a Registered Nurse, earning a BSc (Hons) in Nursing, and in 2015, I completed a master’s degree in management.


Over the years, I’ve worked in Nursing and Dementia care environments, and I genuinely love what I do. Caring for others is such a privilege—being a part of someone’s life is incredibly special and something I value deeply.


What inspired me to work in the care sector


For me, nursing wasn’t just a career choice; it felt like a calling. One morning, I woke up and said to myself, “I want to be a nurse!” My late grandmother, who was a retired Night Sister, inspired me to take that step. Her dedication and passion for overseeing high-quality care have always been a source of motivation for me.


My passions outside of work


When I’m not at work, I love spending time outdoors, especially on long walks in the countryside or visiting new places with my family. I also enjoy tending to my garden, which is filled with a variety of flowers and even includes a large grapevine—I take great pride in it!


What makes me proud of Icknield Court


I’m genuinely excited to be part of the Icknield Court team. We have a “home from home” approach to care, which creates such a warm and welcoming environment for residents.


Even though we’re a large team, we’ve managed to build a strong sense of family, and every day feels different and fulfilling. Our well-being programme is full and varied, involving our residents in meaningful activities and staying connected to the local community.


It’s the little things—watching the team make a real difference, seeing residents smile, and having fun together—that make me so proud to lead here at Icknield Court.
