Leaders and staff work with external agencies and parents to identify and provide appropriate support, ensuring an inclusive learning environment and additional help for children at risk of falling behind.

A wonderful nursery setting in Reigate. The team is absolutely outstanding, and all the carers have gone above and beyond for my child and others. The setting is friendly and welcoming, and it's been the most wonderful community to look after my daughter and help her develop. We are so grateful for the time she has spent there.

Over the past 18 months we've had experience of all of the rooms at Somers House for both of our daughters and we couldn't be happier. The staff are kind, caring and relentlessly enthusiastic in all that they do and the facilities are second to none. We feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful setting for our girls and wouldn't hesitate in recommending the nursery to anyone looking in the local area.

I cannot speak highly enough of this nursery. The staff are absolutely brilliant and they really know the children as individuals. They care so much and offer a nurturing environment where children can thrive. Our son absolutely loves his days here as he is loved, has fun, learns and grows in so many ways. The app is so informative and really keeps you up to date on your child’s day. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff and they are professional and so thorough with everything. Our son has had to have an inhaler and the staff have trained us on how best to administer it. Before they helped us, he was very upset, but after they sang to him and cheered and let him look at it more closely, 3 days in and he is really calm and helps hold his mask in place now! The environment is lovely and we drop him off knowing he is in the best care. To have such peace of mind is something I never thought I would get when I went back to work and I am so grateful to all the staff for making our boy so happy. I genuinely do not think there is a better nursery in Reigate.

We would highly recommend Cavendish Lodge Nursery to anyone! Our child has been at the Nursery since the baby Bunnies Room and the care has been outstanding. The staff are passionate about their job and the day to day activities always sound so fun and engaging. The communication is excellent and our child loves going to nursery every day. We are extremely happy.

This is a really great nursery . Our son has been there for 15 months now and has moved through different rooms at this stage . The facilities are lovely, the staff are great, really helpful and responsive to requests for information. Plus our son really likes the staff. In summary , I could not recommend the nursery and the staff highly enough .
