Any recent experiences with Tumbridge Wells Hospital?

I'm due to give birth there (considering an elective c-section) but I am completely terrified by the recent CQC report that has rated the maternity service as inadequate. I made the mistake to read the full report and now I'm very stressed and wondering if I should transfer.
Interestingly when I look it up on Mumsnet people seem to have had positive experiences as recently as summer 2023. But I'm wondering if anyone has had an experience after the publication of the report this February. Is the report going to make things better or worse?

My daughter just had her first baby there. I am a retired midwife and health visitor. In my opinion her care was excellent.
The staff were caring and competent both antenatally during the labour and post natally.
Her partner was allowed to stay the whole time as was I .

Thank you, that's reassuring to know! And congratulations!
