The Review Score of 8.3 (8.348) out of 10 for Church Farm at Skylarks is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.2 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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:
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.
The Average Rating of 4.171 for Church Farm at Skylarks is calculated as follows: ( (43 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 82 Ratings = 4.171
b) 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 4.177 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Church Farm at Skylarks is based on 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
i) 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 = 3.6
ii) 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 52 registered maximum number of service users is 10.4. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.4 = 0.577
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Home Manager
Joined: 2025
With a background in nursing and a deep passion for delivering truly person-centred care rooted in emotional connections, I'm proud to be a part of the Skylarks family as Home Manager. I hold a BSc in Dementia Studies and an MSc in Advanced Dementia Studies from the University of Bradford - qualifications that reflect my commitment to understanding and supporting people living with Dementia in the most compassionate and evidence-based way possible.
Before joining the team, I had the privilege of supporting a care service in its journey from "Requires Improvement" to achieving an "Outstanding" CQC rating in 2025. I've also managed multiple nursing home settings concurrently, always with a focus on building strong, supportive teams and nurturing meaningful connections with family members, relatives and staff.
Outside of work, I'm happiest in the garden with my two much-loved dogs, Benjamin and Montgomery, who keep me smiling and active. I find real joy in nature and in the simple things - whether it's tending to plants or sharing a refreshment and a story with someone.
I'm thrilled to be a part of the Church Farm family, where kindness, curiosity, and community are at the heart of everything we do. Where "People Matter".

Maria's early years were spent in Long Eaton, Northumberland, Leicestershire then Nottingham, primarily due to her Dad’s work in open-cast mining. Her Mum was a nurse and when they moved to Nottingham her parents ran a residential home which shared the same philosophy as the Church Farm approach today. This was Maria's introduction to the world of care, as she spent every weekend for 2 years working as a care assistant in the family 'home' until she began her nurse training after leaving school.
When qualified, Maria worked on a medical ward specialising in children’s and occasionally adult cardiothoracic surgery at Glenfield Hospital. During her 20-plus years there Maria did various specialist courses, including becoming a specialist in the most advanced form of life support available. Glenfield being the first of 5 centres in the UK to provide this level of support.
Since 1995 Maria has been involved with Church Farm through family links and attended a trip with some residents to Blackpool and also summer fetes and other social gatherings. Maria's previous experience helps her to prevent unnecessary hospital admissions and to appreciate the need for privacy, dignity, and patience for everyone living in the home.
Away from work, Maria keeps busy with her family life. In her spare time, she likes to read a good crime novel.
