Amazing nursery. All the aunties are great with my child, and they make him feel comfortable and at ease always. They have various activities going on with my child, which he loves. I couldn't recommend this nursery enough to other parents looking for recommendations.
Best nursery around.

Very helpful when I needed to change days, and great to be able to work knowing my child was happy going to nursery. Keep you informed on how they have been during the days - what they ate etc. Great nursery.

I have used Summerhouse for the 4th year running now for my daughter to attend. It truly is the best nursery around. They have a huge outside green area for the children to play and regularly take them out. They have activities throughout the whole day and provide fresh nutritious meals, which is exactly
what you want in a nursery. Summerhouse drop-off and pick-up my daughter from school without problems, and have accommodated childcare at short notice on many occasions and have accommodated around my work schedule. I couldn't ask for anything more in a nursery. My daughter loves attending, and all the aunties work so hard and are always smiling. Hats off to you all; you should be so proud of yourselves.

I used Summerhouse in the summer for the holiday club. My six-year-old son was nervous as he hadn't been anywhere new since nursery when he was very young. I couldn't have chosen a better place! My son has absolutely loved it and can't wait to return. It has taken the pressure of the six weeks holidays
away, and the best part is knowing he is having fun and is well cared for. Thank you!

My son has attended this nursery for 16-months. He absolutely loves it. The staff have been amazing with him. My son is on the ASD pathway and has many difficulties. The nursery has put so many things in place for him so that he has a safe and calm environment to thrive in. He is due to start school
in September, but we don't want to leave.

I moved my child from another nursery to this nursery, after him attending the other nursery for 6-years. It's the best decision I ever made. My 8-year-old loves coming here and tells me constantly that it's the best nursery, and he's glad I moved him. My 3-year-old girl has now recently joined him,
and the staff have been absolutely amazing, and the communication is brilliant. Best nursery, hands-down.

Due to going to work more hours, both my children now attend Summerhouse.
They have been very much a part of our family for the last 5-years.
They both have the most amazing time there, and the aunties get spoken about just how I described a family, who they both expect to see on the weekends. If
only.
Summerhouse is forever changing and making new exciting areas, which not only do the children get excited about but myself too. I love having updates on social media where I can see what they are doing day to day and changes made to the setting.
The meals prepared and given, give me peace of mind that my children have had their five a day and are having a varied diet. If only I could cook like them, meal times would be much easier.
With both being more outdoor children than indoor, the outdoor space, which is forever changing and forever getting better, is amazing.
We love the Summerhouse gang!

My son loves attending the setting. After previously having numerous issues with past nurseries affecting my son, we cannot fault this setting.
The communication is great, and the aunties are fantastic with the children as my son only speaks highly of them all; they are all so caring and thoughtful.
The facilities are great, and my son loves the big garden to get out in to explore. I can only speak highly of Summerhouse and would recommend it to others without a doubt.

Having recently moved to the area, Summerhouse came highly recommended by one of the ladies at work. The team at Summerhouse have made both my boys (aged 5 and 4) feel so welcome - the setting has a home from home feel, which is something that was very important to both myself and my husband.
With
my hours being all over the place the last few weeks, the manager and the team have gone above and beyond (where possible) to allow such flexibility in the boy's childcare. I would highly recommend Summerhouse.

Summerhouse has made my son feel at home. I have used other childcare, but unfortunately, I never felt they catered to his needs specifically. Summerhouse has a big outdoor area for playing, which also was a huge factor when I chose childcare.

Summerhouse has such warm and welcoming staff. They go above and beyond to make our children happy and safe. It’s wonderful seeing our son get so excited about going to Summerhouse. They really make an effort to engage the children and develop them in a very individualised way. Summerhouse really is
committed to providing a safe, fun, and loving environment, and we’re very thankful to the whole team for what they do.

My son started after lockdown, and his speech is very delayed and also, had attachment issues. Since starting here, his speech has come on so much, and he runs straight in and gets so excited to go! The staff are so lovely! Would highly recommend them to anyone.

Summerhouse is fantastic with both of our kids. Our little boy is two and absolutely loves going, he even asks at the weekends if he is going to Summerhouse as he has so much fun. It’s great that he and his big sister get to play together, which is so nice to see! Can’t recommend them enough!

I cannot fault Summerhouse one bit. It is an excellent nursery, and my daughter loves going. I had to move my daughter from her last nursery as I felt they were not communicating with me, but Summerhouse has been fantastic at keeping me up to date. I wish I'd have moved her sooner. The aunties are always
friendly and welcoming and support my daughter with her additional needs. The manager has advocated for us by supporting and putting us in contact with professionals to support her development. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff. Thank you for looking after my girl.

My children have been attending Summerhouse for a couple of years now. The staff are all very friendly and approachable, and my children very much feel they can approach them. The building itself is bright and clean. They have a big secure garden, which the children very much love. Thank you, Summerhouse.

My son loves coming to Summerhouse, after a strange year, its the one place that has been consistent. He loves coming to play with his friends and talks about all the games and things they do. The garden is fantastic and definitely one of the reasons we chose Summerhouse, as my son loves being outdoors
and all the activities they do.
The 'aunties' are all lovely and friendly and always share information.

The dedicated, hardworking, committed and child-centred 'Aunties' at Summerhouse go above and beyond caring for my daughters, they make up a huge part of our family's support. My youngest daughter has additional needs and is being assessed for Autism and her Aunties at Summerhouse have really taken
the time to get to know her, understand her and manage what can be at times, challenging behaviour. The manager advocates for my daughter ensuring she has the right support and works closely with us and other professionals to create a safe and happy environment. Staff take time to follow plans set out for speech, language and development, and always want to do more to help her in any way. I can't recommend Summerhouse enough, they are just incredible.

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.
