My daughter's been going to Summerhouse for a year now and it has been the best thing she started! The staff are incredible, they're friendly, kind and show that they genuinely care for the children in their care. The food is always healthy and has a wide variety of options available. My daughter
comes home bouncing with happiness after spending a day there, and is always full of stories of what she has been doing; the same excitement is there in the morning when I take her in. They allow the children to explore in a way that is safe and secure. The garden is lovely with lots of activities for them to do. They regularly send updates via the app showing what they have been up to that day.

Thank you for your lovely feedback. I will pass it onto the team. It has been a pleasure watching your little one grow and become confident and independent. All the Aunties love the outdoor space for the children to play and explore.

My son was really reluctant to come to the Nursery after being at home with me for 3 years. He has gone from being hysterical about going, and only lasting half an hour of the session, to being able to stay for 2 and a half hours and coming out content. This is all down to the wonderful staff at Summerhouse
Out of School Club. They have a fantastic, intuitive way with the children and allow them to explore and feel safe, secure and comfortable in the environment. Regular updates on Seesaw allow me an insight in to my child's time there, and I really appreciate this.

Back in July 2024 my son started to attend Summerhouse Out of School Club after having to withdraw him from a previous setting, the staff did everything to make sure he was ok even me too. Fast forwarding to now, putting him in Summerhouse was without a doubt the best thing I have ever done. The staff
are constantly happy, caring, welcoming and just absolutely perfect, every one of them takes time to personally get to know your child inside and out. The setting is truly like home from home with great outdoor space and plenty of equipment for inside and outside learning. The learning, my son has come on leaps and bounds there not only with his learning but his confidence too. He always has a full belly, comes home clean, I feel he is 100% safe there, management is brilliant, every day is a happy different day. There isn't a day he comes out unhappy and he looks forward to going. I can't thank the staff enough and definitely would recommend anyone to send there child here.

Having used Summerhouse throughout my children's pre-school and school time journeys I am more than happy to sing their praises. My children's time at Summerhouse has always been a positive, and educational experience.
The Aunties know my children well and I feel they all get their individual needs
and interests met. Having spent some extra time with them over the Xmas period my kids have made some beautiful crafts and things I will keep in their memory boxes.

Summerhouse is an amazing setting which we're so glad our child attends. We've seen our child learn and pick up so many new things and enjoy his time there every day. It's a great environment for children and we especially love the outdoor area. It's a great peace of mind as a parent knowing how cared
for and safe our child is going to Summerhouse.

Our children have been attending Summerhouse for over a year now and we can honestly say it's the best nursery we have used. All the aunties are amazing, helpful and make us feel at ease. The kids are all smiles on the days they go and even ask to go when they aren't booked, for me that says it all!

My daughter has been coming to Summerhouse Out of School Club since last year and she’s so happy here! She always asks to go and meet her friends. All the aunties are amazing and dedicated, they are doing lots of activities together, learning and playing. The playground is very well-organised and all
the children have something to do, either playing football, going on the slide, climbing, playing in the wood house or cooking in their special little kitchen, there is always something for everyone. My daughter is a very fussy eater but she started to try new foods and this is just “wow”. Summerhouse is the best nursery with very high standards and quality and I feel fortunate to have my daughter here. Thank you!

My daughter loves attending the setting, she’s happy, healthy and thriving and I feel that Summerhouse plays a big part in that.
I’ve been really happy with the care she’s received and the team are knowledgeable, caring, fun but also runs a tight ship. She’s learnt so much from their early years programme
and I would recommend them to anyone with a child aged 2 plus. The only negative is children can’t start until they are 2 years old.

Our little boy loves going to Summerhouse and this is because he is so well looked after by all of his aunties. He always goes in happily and comes home with a big smile on his face and it is lovely to hear about all the fun things that he gets up to! Our little boy loves being outside and their outdoor
area is incredible. His speech has come on leaps and bounds since starting at Summerhouse as well as his imaginative play, thanks to the support of all the staff and interactions with the other children.
Communication between home and nursery is brilliant. I would highly recommend Summerhouse to any parent looking for an outstanding setting to send their child to.

I have nothing but positive things to say about Summerhouse and all the aunties. Our son has come on leaps and bounds since he's been going for 30 hours a week. A friend recommended them and we are so pleased they did. Our little one is really happy and excited in the mornings to go there. Their flexibility
has been outstanding and they've been so accommodating to our needs as my shifts can change from week to week. We also love the little handmade things he comes home with they are so thoughtful. Thank you everyone for your hard work.

My little boy has been with Summerhouse for nearly 2 years now and he absolutely loves it. He is very well looked after when he’s there and I don’t worry about that one bit, he’s always so excited to go and always kept busy with different activities and plenty to do. The staff are amazing at their jobs
and it really shows. Couldn’t be happier with this nursery.

My little boy absolutely loves it here. They really have exceeded my expectations. Having had previous experience with his older sibling at 2 other nurseries I can honestly say this place goes way above and beyond other settings. The staff seem to really enjoy looking after and teaching the children
and that shines through. Their outside area is phenomenal and the activities and imaginative play encouraged are just brilliant.

My youngest son has attended the nursery for a while now and has always been really happy attending. Since starting nursery class he has developed attachment anxiety and the aunties at Summerhouse have gone above and beyond to help ease his anxiety and mine!
The nursery is a genuine home-from-home
kind of setting, the staff provide an exceptional level of care and compassion. I only wish I’d found the setting while my oldest was younger!

I often drop off and collect my 3 grandsons to and from Summerhouse. I must say how happy they are when they know they are going and also when they have been. They have lots of exciting stories to tell me about their time there. They also love the food they are given which is brilliant as they are fussy
eaters.
It is obvious to me in seeing them so relaxed and content that they are looked after very well here which in turn makes an old worrier like me very happy!

My child has been with Summerhouse for over four years now and I cannot recommend them enough. Summerhouse and all the aunties provide a home from home environment for the children, they create memories for the children to last a lifetime and always go that extra mile, ensuring the care the children
receive is person-centred at all times. My child adores his time at Summerhouse and is always asking to go. It's peace of mind for every parent, knowing your child is happy and well cared for. Thank you for everything, you're the best.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.992)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.992) out of 10 for Summerhouse Out of School Club is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 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 4.992 for Summerhouse Out of School Club is calculated as follows: ( (390 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 393 Ratings = 4.992

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Summerhouse Out of School Club is based on 33 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 34 number of registered child places is 6.8, which has been reached with 33 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
