Both my sons have attended Summerlea since ten months of age. I have always found the staff to be warm, caring and fun. They have great ideas to help the children learn via play. They try to get them outside at all opportunities. My children are happy to go in each morning, and I feel reassured that
they are well looked after. Parents are often invited to join in with nursery activities and kept informed via the online service and newsletters.

Cannot recommend enough!
Staff are always friendly, attentive and; caring towards my son and myself.
My son has been in Summerlea since he was 18 months and has grown fond of all the staff.
I have great confidence in the staff who genuinely care and know my son.
I love receiving updates on his
progression, and the folders are a great way of presenting everything he has done while in the nursery.
The children spend a lot of time outside in the garden when the weather is nice, and the choice of meals is excellent (especially when my son is fussy).
Overall, my son loves going to nursery, and I know he'll be sad to leave next year.

All the staff at the nursery are fantastic. They are energetic, enthusiastic and very friendly. They all work extremely hard. My 3 year old son has been attending Summerlea since he was 1 and loves it. My daughter also attended Summerlea for 4 years. The children have lots of outside play and go walks
to the local park. They participate in lots of arts and crafts and imaginary play. They often visit the care home round the corner which my son loves. The progress folders are fab and I've received lots of amazing photos over the years.


My only negative comment is that the staff are not paid enough. They have a huge amount of responsibility and this should be recognised by giving staff a decent wage. The daily fee has gone up by £2 a day - I wouldn't mind paying this if staff were getting a decent pay rise.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.140)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.140) out of 10 for Summerlea House Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.3 out of 5 from 2 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.833 for Summerlea House Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (20 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 4.833

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 3.307 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Summerlea House Nursery is based on 2 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 = 3.125

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 55 number of registered child places is 11. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 11 = 0.182

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
