Report published 26 June 2025
“This is a specialist service for people who have a learning disability or autistic people. At the time of our inspection 6 people were living at the service. We assessed the service against ‘Right support, right care, right culture’ guidance to make judgements about whether the provider guaranteed people with a learning disability and autistic people respect, equality, dignity, choices, independence and good access to local communities that most people take for granted.”
“The Paddocks is a service that continues to be owned and operated by Mr Gibbs who is both the provider of the service and also the registered manager. The service was a family home and is at times reflected as such in this report. The people using the service are either the adopted siblings of the provider or they were looked after as children and have grown up with Mr Gibbs at the service since they were children when it was run by their parents. The registered manager is referred to as the provider throughout our report.”

I really like that everyone in the family treats each other with respect.””
