My mum has been at Sherwood Court for 2 weeks. The nursing home is very comfortable and homely. All the staff are excellent and they are doing their very best to make Mum feel comfortable in her new surroundings. The food is good with a varied choice and the activities team are doing their best to include
Mum in all the activities and have taken residents to the illuminations which Mum really enjoyed.

My mother is in Barchester Sherwood Court, earlier this year my mother in law was cared for here. After having been in 5 care homes in Preston, this is undoubtedly the best. The furnishings might not be top notch but the care is outstanding, staff always willing to help and very cheerful. Food is lovely.
Can highly recommend.
Reply from Elizabeth Brotherton, General Manager at Barchester Sherwood Court Care HomeThank you Helen for your kind review about our home. We have a planned refurbishment programme throughout 2026 to replace some of the tired bedroom furniture which will enhance the home for all our residents. I will share your feedback with my team

It has been a difficult process for me making the transition for my step-mum to move into care/nursing facilities but Shewood Court couldn't have been more accommodating and helpful.
The staff are lovely and friendly and from what I have seen they are very professional when dealing with residents.
My step mum is particularly friendly with two of the activities staff and loves all the entertainment.

Mum had been managed at home for 2.5 years and unfortunately her needs increased and she needed full time care to be safe. Choosing a home I found extremely difficult. Sherwood Court has looked after Mum since Dec 2024 and continues to do so. The staff are exceptional, experienced and personable. The
management brilliant, knowledgeable and help you navigate the complexities. They take the time to get to know your relative and pay attention to the little things that make the difference. The unrestricted visiting, allowing my dog to visit, never a problem to give and update all invaluable. You feel your relative is safe and well cared for, which is invaluable. Fully recommend this home.

It is difficult to find the words to adequately summarise the skilled and supportive care given to our mum during her short stay here. Dedication to improving the lives of vulnerable people is incredible. Skilled caring staff in every area of the home have made Mums experience as positive as possible,
given her health challenges.
Thank you for everything.

Sherwood Court is an excellent care home. My sister is recuperating after a knee replacement operation and the care she has received is excellent. The staff are very caring and friendly. All her needs are catered for and she is very happy and relaxed. I would recommend Sherwood Court for anyone who
is recuperating from an operation. The standards of care are very high. Every need is matched. The activities coordinator is excellent. Manager is a real star.

My wife has just recently been moved to Sherwood with mixed dementia. First impressions have been good. Staff are quick to attend when asked. The room is ok if a little small, but it meets her needs. I like the food being prepared on site, it is a big improvement from her previous home. I would prefer
to have 2 nursing staff, not one. There are a lot of residents for 1 nurse. The reception team are very good and I have plenty of chats with them. All in all, first impressions are good.
Reply from Elizabeth Brotherton, General Manager at Barchester Sherwood Court Care HomeThank you so much for your review and taking the time to provide us with feedback. I would like to reassure you regarding the staffing, we have nursing staff across both of our communities who support all of our residents, we have a staffing model that ensures all of our residents are safe and well cared for. We look forward to supporting you and your wife in this journey and are so happy you chose Sherwood Court.

My husband stayed at Sherwood Court for 2 weeks respite care. During that time my husband had a few problems which the staff dealt with very well. They were always very friendly and helpful and professional, both with my husband and myself.
It's not an easy time when you need respite care and you're
leaving your loved one in someone else's hands, but I felt our experience there was a good one and I would use them again.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Dad had been a resident at another local Barchester home but after a fall needed a great level of care.


We were recommended to see Sherwood Court and fell in love at first sight. We felt an immediate rapport and the Manager took considerable effort to find Dad a room.


Despite being 97, he

has settled in amazingly well and been made to feel very welcome. The staff have been exceedingly attentive and welcoming to him and us. The level of care is superb.


The facilities and grounds are really well maintained and the staff take huge pride in their roles.


When we arrived, Dad hadn't eaten for 2 weeks and has taken to the food immediately.


Friendly, attentive, skilled and loving. What more could I say !

Reply from Elizabeth Brotherton, General Manager at Barchester Sherwood Court Care HomeThank you for taking the time to provide your feedback, I'm glad that everything went smoothly eventually. The team work really hard to help families settle in and appreciate how hard a time this can be.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My relative has been a Dementia resident at Sherwood Court for over two years, so I am in a good position to tell you all about it - I spend a lot of time there.
In one word It is ''OUTSTANDING'' on every level - It is so humbling to see what challenges all the staff deal with on a daily basis and
how they support one another when times can be tough, it is clear it is not just a job for them, it is one big hardworking family that love what they do.
No two residents are the same, they all have differing needs.
Unless like us you have to use this service for a loved one you cannot and will never appreciate what a tremendously hard job ''ALL'' the staff do. ''Everyone'' has an important role to play - Chef, Admin, Caring/Nursing, Cleaners, DIY, Manager etc
To see the happy faces, the fun and enjoyment from all the residents that are clearly ''so well cared for'' this in itself is the best recommendation - Hold your heads up and be very proud! Thank you and Well Done to the Manager

After loosing Dad it became obvious to my sister and I that Mum needed 24/7 dementia care. We were supported all the way by friendly staff during the harrowing experience of having to place Mum into care. All concerns and fears were quickly alleviated as mum settled in to her new surroundings very quickly.
Special mention must go to the activities coordinators for providing the stimulation Mum needs. Mum has visitors most days where we can take her for coffee and cake in the plush surroundings of the cafe.

My husband has been in Sherwood Court for over a year now and I am very happy with his care. The staff treat him (and me) like family and I find this very comforting. All the staff know him (and me) by name and again this is very reassuring. The coffee shop and reception area are really welcoming and
have the best cake.The musical entertainment is his favourite activity and he actually sings along.It has taken a while but I think my husband has finally settled and I can leave each day confident that he has the best care and understanding .

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.800)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.800) out of 10 for Barchester Sherwood Court Care Home 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.825 for Barchester Sherwood Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (187 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 223 Ratings = 4.825
  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 4.975 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Barchester Sherwood Court Care Home is based on 19 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.975
    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 68 registered maximum number of service users is 13.6, which has been reached with 19 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
