My son is really happy at the nursery, and that is all that counts to me. We moved him from another nursery when he was old enough, and every one was fantastic trying to settle him in. All the aunties are always friendly, yet professional, and my son always seems to have had a whale of a time!

Reply from Amanda Dickin, Manager at Summerhouse Out of School Club

We are so pleased with how he has settled and that he is enjoying his time with us - thank you for your lovely comments.

My son has been coming to Summerhouse for the past five years. He is always happy to attend and we have always found the staff caring, fun and approachable. As one of the older groups now, there are always activities available for him that he enjoys. He has really enjoyed being involved in some recent
community charity work and learning that Summerhouse won an award for this.

Reply from Amanda Dickin, Manager at Summerhouse Out of School Club

Thank you for your lovely comments; we are really pleased that the older children have a dedicated Auntie and activities are based on their age group and feedback. They really love the opportunity of the community engagement projects we have engaged in within the local community.

An absolutely fantastic nursery, week after month after year. This service and standards are 10/10. The little one loves the nursery and all of the staff. They're incredibly kind and always willing to chat.
All members of staff are brilliant... but some go above and beyond... you know who you are!

Our son has been attending Summerhouse for just over a year now, and he absolutely loves it there; all of the aunts are amazing and treat the children like they are their own family.
The food the children receive is always good quality and nutritious, and they try and spend as much time outside with
them as possible (weather dependent).
I wouldn't think twice about recommending this nursery setting to anyone looking for childcare for their child.

Reply from Heidi Crompton, Manager at Summerhouse Out of School Club

Thank you for your lovely comments. It has been a pleasure watching your little one become more independent and confident. We love seeing his happy smiley face.

A brilliant setting for my girls. They love going,g and the place is just perfect for them. All staff are professional, and nothing is too much trouble. My girls have been in different nurseries around the area, and this is certainly the best! One child has been at Summerhouse since it opened and, in
a few years, will be in high school.

This nursery is exceptional - the level of care is impeccable. Both our foster children have been here, and one is still here. The aunties are like family; they have not only helped our 5-year-old with his speech development, as he wasn't talking when placed with us, but they have also brought confidence
in our 3-year-old. They have helped us in our transition as kinship carers. I can not recommend the staff and the nursery enough; they go above and beyond with every child - the kids love it here. If I could give ten stars, I would - thank you.

Reply from Heidi Crompton, Owner at Summerhouse Out of School Club

Thank you so much for these lovely comments - the Aunties were tearful when I read them out to them. It has been a pleasure to care for both children and to see how much they have grown in confidence and independence.

My children have both settled in lovely at Summerhouse and made lots of lovely friends there. They make it fun for the children by taking them out on trips to the local parks and local areas for fun and educational purposes. They are always doing activities. The garden has been done up lovely with so
much space for the children. I love that whatever the weather, the garden isn’t off limits as children love splashing and playing in the sunshine and even snow. The staff are all lovely, friendly and approachable. We are very happy at Summerhouse.

My son has attended Summerhouse day nursery since we moved to Rhyl in the summer of last year, 2022; they have been fantastic with him, making him feel so happy, especially when he found the move quite hard. Also, they have gone above and beyond with flexibility when I have needed them for extra days.
They have been a Godsend to us. My daughter also goes some mornings as she enjoys the bus ride to school, and again, they have always been so helpful. Very happy and welcoming staff.

Summerhouse is a brilliant nursery for my son; he’s been going for a year and a half now, and I can’t thank all the aunties enough for caring for my son. They always have time to talk to us as parents and are fast acting on any queries or questions we have. Communication is always great. I’ve already
signed my daughter up for when she is two! I Highly recommend Summerhouse.

Summerhouse is a safe and nurturing environment. My daughter loves going there and enjoys all the activities. The nursery communicates well and gives regular updates on my daughter's development. All the staff helped my daughter to settle in well, and the aunties seem to have a lovely relationship with
the children. All the activities are varied and provide lots of opportunities to learn and have fun. My daughter seems to enjoy all her food, and the menu which is shared is always varied and nutritious.

My son only started in January and was super anxious to start with, but the aunties were brilliant with him and made him feel comfortable very quickly.
He is now super excited to go to nursery every day and comes home with lots of stories and songs to share with us all. We love being kept updated
by the aunties regularly with activities he has taken part in.
Best nursery he has ever been to, and would 100% recommend it.

The children are always well looked after. Feedback from the day is always excellent on handover, with images shared online of activities that have taken place during the day. Communication is always excellent, and I always receive quick responses to messages/requests. We're extremely happy with the
setting and the service we receive. Our child is happy to go each week and happy when he is collected, which I think is an excellent sign.

My eldest child attended Summerhouse for two years before full-time education. My youngest has just started on flying start hours. This nursery is second to none, in my opinion.
Always ready to help and support the child and parent in any way possible. I would and do recommend Summerhouse to anyone
looking for outstanding childcare.

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.
