How we ranked these
Each operator earns points for their AAL star rating (5★ = 10pts, 4★ = 6pts, 3★ = 2pts), achieving Higher Standard tier (+4pts), publishing verifiable rates (+2pts), and holding a current licence (+1pt). Ties are broken alphabetically by registered business name. We don’t score on customer reviews because AAL star ratings already reflect inspected welfare standards — a more reliable signal than self-reported feedback.
