Nineteen days after the previous inspection, the one young person who had been living at this home moved and the home became empty. Cambian Childcare Limited decided to use the Registered Manager and staff to support other homes while they recruited further staff for these homes. Queen's Road remains registered, but will not have any further young people move in until the Registered Manager and staff team have returned. At this stage it is unclear when this will be.
