Summerlea House Nursery

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.

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.
