Clever Cloggs Day Nursery

I have gave a 5 star rating as I've had excellent support from this nursery and support during personal things going on at home I've always been able to talk to the staff and get there feedback so I would highly recommend clever cloggs to anyone who's thinking of putting there child in to nursery

We also truly appreciate how accommodating the team has been with our term-time-only needs. Thank you for everything you do for the children - it is greatly appreciated.

My daughter went to the nursery from the age of 2, for 2 years and she loved every minute. Her speech progressed hugely, along with her confidence in being away from home. I wanted her to join a nursery with a smaller amount of children so she could find her own voice and she definitely did that here. The staff are really caring, they encouraged her to try new foods and improved her diet. They also build strong connections with the children- highly recommend!

He is now 3.5 and still loves going there. Never had any major issues. The nursery staff are great and always share positive feedback, what they did each day and what food he ate. They take the children regularly on trips to the library and the local park. They organise other outings such as cable cars or to see santa! This is such a family orientated nursery and parents get invited to various events such as mothers or fathers day. Thank you for taking such a great care of my little boy!

I would highly recommend Clever Cloggs. My child attended on a full time basis. They offer a safe and calmed environment. Expectations and boundaries are clear and consistent for children. Staff are professional and they provide daily feedback to parents. We also enjoyed a few celebrations where family members are invited to join for a 'stay and play' with the children. For the first time since my child was born, it was a relief going to work knowing my child would be happy and rested.

My son started attending Clever Cloggs back in April 2022 and he really had a tough time adjusting to this change and the routine to come with it, especially after being in lockdown for so long. Despite his struggle with accepting the change, all the staff at Clever Cloggs were so supportive of not only my son, but myself too. They made me feel like I wasn’t going crazy with the worries I had for my son, they all made me feel validated and ‘normal’ for having these worries. Once my son had become used to the nursery/routine that followed, he absolutely loved attending and, even more so, loved the staff here. He has come on leaps and bounds since coming here and I was devastated when it came to an end for my son starting nursery within a school. He had learned so much and was so happy to show/tell me what he’d done. Without the help and support from your staff, he never would have been as comfortable as he is now to attend. I owe everything to Clever Cloggs and their amazing staff.

Clever Cloggs Nursery has been absolutely amazing! They have settled in my baby so well. He is very happy there and it’s very evident how much staff care about him. All the staff are very caring and loving towards my son. Every time I have had to request them to do certain things for my son, they take it on board so well and always deliver, i.e administer medication when he’s been unwell etc. Overall, I am very satisfied with the quality of my son's care.

Thank you Clever Cloggs.

The worst nursery, do not send your child to this nursery! They run this nursery like a back street business, very unprofessional. when you sign your original contract with them it states that they are open until 6 pm only to be called from work that they are only open until 5 pm or 5:30 pm. My child recently attended this nursery and one day he was turned away, up until this day no one has contacted me about what happened or measures moving forward which includes my son's belongings to be returned including deposits and any outstanding fees. I have emailed them yet no one replies or tries to reach out, which shows how unbothered they are and confident in their unprofessional behaviour and attitude towards the children and parents at the nursery. My child no longer attends this nursery, I would not recommend this nursery to anyone, they are the worst I have ever seen. The manager makes up her own rules as she goes along, which are all illegal. This nursery traumatised my whole family.

Trialled two big, expensive and well-known chains. We found them to be pretentious and obsequious to parents, obsessed with constant online updates that force the staff to often ignore the children and sets a bad example for screentime.

I would not recommend this nursery to working parents. It is extremely inflexible with regards to their policies and I feel it is run as a formal business rather than a care provider for under 5s.

Most of the staff are very negative and every afternoon when they answer the door they look fed up and give you a list of negative behaviours about your child.

-short notice (one night before) to remind parents about nappies/wipes. And then happy to turn you away the next morning if you forget- surely there should be some reserves in place?

After my son being in a loving full-time nursery for 5 years, it was clear how different this nursery was and I had to remove my child to give her the opportunity to get the same care he had.
