Registration Support for CQC & Ofsted Providers
Register your care service the right way — with expert-led guidance, compliant documents, and fast support from day one.
We provide end-to-end registration support for care providers, helping you meet regulator requirements and launch services with confidence.
Getting registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) or Ofsted is the first critical step to launching a compliant, high-quality care service. Whether you’re opening a children’s home, running a domiciliary care agency, offering supported living, or registering as a childminder, PolicyBase simplifies the process — so you can focus on care, not compliance.
