Frequently Asked Questions
How long does CQC registration take?
CQC registration typically takes 12-16 weeks from submission. With Glaxtons' expert application writing, we help ensure your application is complete and compliant from the outset, avoiding delays from information requests or rejections.
What is the CQC registration fee?
CQC registration fees vary by service type and size. For domiciliary care agencies, fees typically range from £2,600-£4,500 depending on capacity. Residential care home fees range from £3,500-£10,000+ based on bed numbers.
Do I need a registered manager for CQC registration?
Yes, CQC requires a registered manager for most regulated activities. The registered manager must pass a fit person interview and demonstrate competence to manage the service. Glaxtons can prepare your nominated manager for this interview.
What Ofsted registration do I need for a children's home?
Children's homes providing care and accommodation for children under 18 must register with Ofsted. This includes secure children's homes, children's homes with education, and standard children's homes. Glaxtons writes comprehensive Ofsted applications with detailed statements of purpose.
Can you help if my CQC application was rejected?
Absolutely. We specialise in helping providers whose initial applications were unsuccessful. We review the rejection reasons, address all concerns raised by CQC, and rewrite your application to meet registration requirements.
