Our little boy (10 months) started at the nursery in September. He was offered as much settling in time as necessary and the staff have made sure the transition has been really smooth. He loves going to nursery and is thriving since starting there. All staff are warm and friendly, and there's a lovely
atmosphere inside the rooms. The communication from staff is brilliantly, we can tell they care about our little one from the warm welcome he always gets! We would recommend the nursery to all parents!

My little boy has been going to Clever Clogs since August 2025 and has settled in really well. He's always in a good mood when I go to pick him up and has already developed a lot since he started - he recently started walking!

I honestly can't thank Clever Clogs enough for the love and care they show my daughter. Every single member of staff is warm, kind, and genuinely invested in the children's happiness. It's such a comfort knowing she's in a safe, nurturing environment where she's not only learning but also having so
much fun. We feel like part of a family here, and I couldn't imagine a better place for her to spend her early years.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our little girl (21 months) has just started at Clever Clogs and we're so glad we chose it. Dropping your child off for the first time is a bit nerve-wracking, but the staff have been amazing from the start. They're so welcoming and really took the time to get to know her and make her feel comfortable.
The
place itself is bright, clean and full of things to keep the kids busy - toys, books, messy play, outdoor space, you name it. Our daughter's already tried loads of new activities and even started doing little things at home she's picked up there, which has been lovely to see.
Something me and my partner really like is the app they use. We get updates and photos through the day, so even while we're at work we can see what she's been up to, it's such a nice reassurance.
Overall we're very happy with Clever Clogs and would definitely recommend.

We have used Clever Cloggs for the past 2+ years, and our experience with them has been excellent. Our little boy attends over any school holidays, and he absolutely loves it. He has made friends, who he sees every school holiday break. The nursery provides excellent care and activities for the children,
our son really looks forward to going. The staff at Bowburn are all very friendly, and do a great job.

Clever Clogs Bowburn is a brilliant nursery. My 4 year son and 2 year old daughter love going. It's a big nursery but has a really personal feel. The staff are all really warm, caring and engaging. The activities are well thought out and interesting and they often have exciting visits like from the
fire brigade or farm animals. We're so pleased we chose to send our children here and can't recommend it highly enough.

What a fantastic nursery and a fantastic start to my daughter's early education. Having attended since she was one my daughter will be leaving to start school in September and I couldn't have asked for a better nursery experience.
Around the age of 18 months I began to notice developmental differences
in my daughter. The staff at Clever Clogs have ensured they secured additional funding to help support her needs but not only this, they have helped support me in navigating the SEND world as a mum. They have treated me with kindness and listened to my concerns which has really made such a difference to me at a worrying time. They have also celebrated all the little wins alongside me and I have no doubt that they truly care for my daughter.
During her time at Clever Clogs and particularly in the last year, I have seen my daughter grow in so many ways and It is testament to the loving, nurturing and fun environment the staff have created. Thank you Clever Clogs

My little girl has been attending Clever Clogs Nursery since August 2023, and I honestly couldn't be happier with the experience. From day one, the staff have been absolutely incredible - warm, welcoming, and genuinely dedicated to the children's well-being and development. They've created such a nurturing
and supportive environment where my daughter feels safe, happy, and excited to learn every single day.
The progress she has made since joining has been amazing. Her confidence has grown so much, and her social skills have flourished. The activities are engaging and well thought out, and it's clear that the team put so much effort into making learning fun.
Communication with parents is excellent too - we're always kept up to date and feel very involved in her journey. It's reassuring to know she is cared for by such passionate and professional staff.
I cannot thank the Clever Clogs team enough for everything they do. I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent.

My daughter has been going to Little Ladybirds since she was 10 months and we couldn't have been happier with our choice. The great staff have nurtured her into such a wonderful, polite and inquisitive little girl and really encouraged her to come out of her shell. The flexibility around booking her
days in has been invaluable due to my shift working and I don't know how we would have coped otherwise!
Overall, we could not have been happier with our choice to send our child to Little Ladybirds and would highly recommend!

Little ladybirds welcomed us with open arms when we needed them the most. We had visited numerous nurseries, and as an EYFS teacher, I have worked with hundreds of nurseries in the area, and this nursery, was by far, the best around! My boys absolutely loved every minute attending the nursery. The staff
are fabulous, always going the extra mile. They show patience, dedication, warmth and care, ensuring all the children have best possible start to their learning journey. The management staff are wonderful, standing on the door each morning to personally welcome the children and parents and always being available if needed. The nursery also does lots for the local community and celebrates everything and everyone. We travel 25 minutes to attend this nursery because we felt it was the best provision for our boys. I can't recommend this provision highly enough. The ABSOLUTE BEST!!!!!!! The best management team, the best staff, the best provision, the best care, the best facilities and more!

As a parent, choosing the right nursery is one of the biggest decisions you make-and I couldn't be happier with our choice of Little Ladybirds Day Nursery.

My son absolutely loves clever clogs and the staff there. They are all so lovely, and really go above and beyond for the children. My son has come on so much since he started. I have no worries or concerns at all leaving my child with the staff. I also love the app, they keep it updated throughout the
day so I can see what he's been up to, and what he's eaten, and how long he's slept.

All of the staff at Bowburn Clever Clogs are so nice! My little girl took a little while to settle in but she soon found her favourite ladies and now heads in with a wave goodbye to me!

My second child to attend the nursery and I can't recommend enough. Staff have really supported my little one transition into their care. I always get a detailed report on pick up and the staff are always happy to answer any questions. Overall the facility is one of the best I have attended. I've looked
around and my first child attended another nursery prior to transitioning and by far this nursery had a much more welcoming and supportive atmosphere. The facilities are great and there's daily activities that stretch the children's minds. You also get access to an app so you have direct contact with your child's key person and you get to see how they've eaten and napped etc.
