5 stars and outstanding in all areas ! Don’t look any further if you’re looking for a nursery or pre school placement. Kate the manager and all staff are friendly, professional and kind. Your child will be cared for in a loving way as well as educated to a very high standard. I never had any concerns and was able to leave my toddler without any worries. The long waiting list speaks for itself - definitely worth the wait. My little girl was always very happy there. She was potty trained there in less than a week too! Thanks to everyone at Summerfield House !

I highly recommend Summerfield House in Chobham. My little girl attends three days a week in the Preschool. Kate the manager is lovely and all the team are so friendly and caring. There is lots of opportunity for outside play and interacting with farm animals and nature- which was one of the main reasons we chose it as well as the baby room having a 'homely' feel. Many of the day nurseries in the area didn't seem to have this atmosphere or promote outside play as much...well at least when I started looking for a place for my son 6 years ago! Both my children started from age 1 (but they take younger children). My son has life threatening food allergies, these were taken seriously and we never encountered any problems and felt very confident with him being in their care. The team supported us amazingly with potty training and provide so many opportunities for the children to develop and grow - including the annual nativity play- I still can't get over how confident the children were (and how amazing it was that the team had created such an amazing show and experience with 3 and 4 year olds!) My son has now started school and feel his ability to settle and progress quickly was very much aided by his attendance at Summerfield House and no doubt my daughter will do the same when she starts this September.
