Summerfield is a lovely nursery, Chelsea the manager and all the other staff have really helped my little boy (a lockdown baby) settle into class. He now looks forward to going and taking part in all the activities! Great updates given and a lovely setting too

Both of our boys have been to Summerfield and enjoyed it there. It is a friendly, relaxed nursery with lots of resources and caring, creative staff. If you are looking for a nursery go and have a look around to see what is going on!
