My little girl started attending Summerhouse at the age of two. She loves attending. She has grown so much from this nursery. Her confidence and development, also social skills. Staff communicate with myself on every aspect, which I appreciate.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.
Reply from Mandy Dickin, Manager at Summerhouse Out of School ClubThank you for your lovely comments. It is a pleasure to look after the boys and always happy to help with flexibility of bookings

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!
Reply from Heidi Crompton, Manager at Summerhouse Out of School ClubThank you so much; we love to make children happy learning through play in the outside environment at the Summerhouse.

I can’t recommend Summerhouse enough; it’s amazing. All the staff are so friendly and helpful. My little boy started here 2-months ago and absolutely loves it; he settled in instantly. He loves playing in the big garden, and I love seeing all the activities he gets up to on Facebook. Brilliant nursery,
highly recommend.

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.

Putting our daughter into Summerhouse was the best decision we have made for her! She absolutely loves it! It’s lovely to see all the activities she gets up to on the Facebook page! She loves all the aunties, and is always talking about them at home! Even as a parent the staff are always lovely and
pleasant and they are really easy to talk to if you ever have a query! They are all doing such an amazing job keeping our children entertained, educated and safe in such uncertain times! Thank you for everything you do for my little girl! Well done Summerhouse!

My son has been going to this nursery for over 2 years he loves it. Especially with all the uncertainty and all the lockdowns the nursery has done a wonderful job, the staff have done amazing, allowing all of the children to play safely and happily. And as my child has started half-day school this year
the pick-up and drop off to the local schools is excellent, covering a variety of schools making it easy to be in any school without having to change nursery.

Summerhouse is a wonderful nursery which has amazing facilities for all of the children. The staff treat the children like their own and care for them in a loving way. My daughter was very shy when she began at two years old and would only want to be around adults in the nursery but has now become more
confident and made lots of friends. This helped her so much starting school and she never looked back. A fantastic nursery and would highly recommend to anyone.

My four year old loves going to Summer House. The activities are very engaging for the kids and he never comes home hungry. This is the third nursery he has attended, and those things have been concerns at the previous two.


I would definitely recommend Summer House to any other parents.

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.
