Summerhouse has been excellent since my son started. He has come on so much, and the activities they do with the children are great. He was shy when he first started but now runs in and loves all the staff and children.

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.

He loves it there and always tells me about his fun day.
Thank you to them all, brilliant!

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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.976)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.976) out of 10 for Summerhouse Out of School Club is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.976 for Summerhouse Out of School Club is calculated as follows: ( (243 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 249 Ratings = 4.976
  2. 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 21 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 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 21 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
