Review from Sarah F (Mother of Child) published on 31 October 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My little one has now been at Clever Cloggs for a year and we couldn't be happier. The staff are excellent and the care, stimulation, socialisation and learning experience he receives are second to none. The facilities have seen a lot of use, but also a lot of love. Staff turnover seems very low.
There is a strong focus on heuristic (hope I got that term right), messy and outdoor play. Values such as kindness, cooperation and creativity are nurtured. This is not simply a place to stash your toddler during work hours! Even from the outside, you can see that a belief in evidence-based practice and the importance of early years education underpins everything. I just wish our government felt the same.

The Clever Cloggs team are superstars!

Reply from Chloe Herron, Manager at Clever Cloggs Childcare Ltd

Thank you so much Sarah - this is exactly how we want families to feel! And I totally agree with you about the government in a completely non-political and non-biased way!

Overall Experience

Clever Cloggs Childcare is an outstanding nursery. I have witnessed first-hand how fantastic the staff are towards my children. They provide a structured day full of activities and my youngest daughter especially loves playing sports. I have a great relationship with all the staff who feedback and provide me with daily updates on my daughter - their communication with parents is brilliant. The nursery setting is very well equipped with lots of games, books and garden toys which all the children use. My daughter loves the playground area and the swing/balance bikes. I would highly recommend Clever Cloggs to any parents with nursery-aged children.

Overall Experience

Our daughter has just graduated from Clever Cloggs Childcare. We have used the nursery since I returned to work eighteen months ago and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. My children have loved all the staff who nurture their creativity and bring out the best in them. My daughter entered the nursery with me having serious concerns about how she may cope at school and has absolutely flourished and can even write her name. I thank my lucky stars we found Clever Cloggs. The team seem to have endless ideas for activities, both indoors and out, that really help the children develop. If you are looking for a nursery in the area, you won't find better than this and to top it off...the price is extremely competitive.

Overall Experience

Both of my children (1.5 years and 3.5 years old) attend Clever Cloggs Nursery. Both love the nursery and their teachers, they spend the days doing various fun activities and playing with friends. I love the fact that they spend a lot of time outdoors in their huge garden. Communication with the nursery is also very good and they take into account my children's personal needs. Very happy parent!

Review from Nirali G (Mother of Child) published on 7 April 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Clever Cloggs Childcare Ltd is a fantastic nursery! My daughter started in September 2020, she settled in well and loves it. Staff show great commitment and expertise especially in those initial settling in weeks, making the transition period from home to nursery as smooth and comforting as possible. Being a key worker myself meant that my daughter attended nursery throughout the 2021 lockdown. Despite working in these unprecedented times, all staff remained positive, professional and continued to provide a high standard of care, dedication and fun to all children! As well as offering a range of creative, sensory and learning activities inside, the nursery also houses a large outdoor space which has enabled my child to play, explore nature, understand and talk about the world around her. Overall I am very pleased with Clever Cloggs Childcare Ltd, my daughter is happy and flourishing. I couldn’t ask for more nor could I recommend a better nursery!

Overall Experience

Both my children have attended this nursery over the last six years. The nursery is a fantastic place for children to grow and develop essential skills in a happy, safe and secure setting. The staff are so caring towards the children and the parents, they have supported me as a parent through difficult times. Particularly during the pandemic, every step has been taken to provide a safe environment. Both my children have thrived at the nursery. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience

My daughter loves going to the nursery, she's been attending nursery since she was nine months old. There isn't a day she doesn't want to go there to play. The place is amazing, all the staff are very kind and well trained. The outdoor space is very spacious and kids like running around and playing in the muddy kitchen, growing vegetables and playing with water. My son, now in school also loved the nursery. The staff hasn't changed since then and he loves going back to say hello.

Review from Maria E (Mother of Child) published on 15 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter has been attending Clever Cloggs Childcare Ltd for the last few months and absolutely loves it. They provide a variety of daily activities, including messy play and outdoor time which she loves. Staff members are really friendly and are always willing to listen to and address any concerns or feedback we have. We were really worried that our daughter would take a long time to settle at the nursery as she hasn't been around other people that much due to the pandemic. The staff were amazing and took a great care of her, so settling went really well to our surprise. I would definitely recommend Clever Cloggs Childcare Ltd to a friend and to family.

Review from Sarah L (Mother of Child) published on 10 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My family is new to the Clever Cloggs Childcare Ltd family but in the time my daughter has been there I know we’ve made the right choice. Our one year old was born at the start of lockdown and has never been away from me or her brothers, so to send her to nursery was a big deal. The girls in the baby room have been amazing and supported me and my daughter through the whole process brilliantly. They text to keep me updated and use an online system to post all the details of her day. I’m very glad we chose this nursery.

Review from Cristina B (Mother of Child) published on 10 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

After visiting many nurseries in the area we thought Clever Cloggs Childcare Ltd was perfect for our daughter and we were not wrong. She totally loved her time at the nursery, so much so there was not a day where she actually wanted to come home! Needless to say when our boys came along we had no need to look elsewhere, as we knew Clever Cloggs Childcare Ltd was the right choice once again. Although a year had passed between our daughter leaving and the boys joining, the members of staff had hardly changed, which speaks volume. If I had to describe the setting in a few words I would say, a home from home, happy, relaxed and caring environment.

Review from Mat C (Father of Child) published on 10 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both our girls have grown up at Clever Cloggs Childcare Ltd and our youngest still attends. She goes to school in September and we will miss the nursery so much as it has been a huge part of our girls lives. I highly recommend this nursery as both girls have been so happy there, always enjoy their days which are filled with so many fun and educational activities. They have two large outside gardens with lots of play equipment. The staff are amazing, they are always happy to talk about any concerns and readily give good advice and support. All the staff care so much for the children so the environment is homely and comforting for them as cuddles are always available. All meals are made fresh on site. Our youngest is a very fussy eater but she tries more different foods at nursery then she does at home. Throughout the pandemic, the manager and her team have been so diligent with looking after the children safely and following the rules. We have never felt worried or concerned.

Review from Sian L (Mother of Child) published on 10 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our three-year-old son started at Clever Cloggs Childcare Ltd when he was just eight months old and his care has been great ever since. The staff seem to provide a very positive environment for him to develop and are always very open to having any impromptu discussions with me about his well-being. My husband and I visited a number of nurseries in the surrounding areas and this one was by far the most homely and nurturing of them all. I am also very happy with how they have handled the pandemic and feel my son is safe there. I would absolutely recommend this nursery and am hoping my next son will attend too, once he is born and of appropriate age!

Review from Emma W (Mother of Child) published on 10 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter started attending Clever Cloggs Childcare Ltd in September 2020. We viewed many nurseries and childminders. When viewing this nursery we went armed with a whole list of questions and the manager was more than happy to honestly answer them all, for us. We found her approach to be professional but personal and we loved the fact the nursery had a wonderful family-feel and it continues to do, which is difficult during the current times with all of the restrictions. We were fortunate enough to view the nursery before the first lockdown and loved to see how wonderful all of the staff were with the children. As soon as our daughter started the settling period, we knew we had chosen the right place. The manager and her team have one of the best settling procedures I have come across in the area. Staff worked with us as the parents, to find a settling schedule that worked perfectly for our family. Our daughter thoroughly enjoys her time at nursery and the staff are wonderful at keeping us informed of her progress. Thank you Clever Cloggs Childcare Ltd.

My daughter has been attending Clever Cloggs Childcare Ltd since last year and she loves it. She is so much more confident at learning new things and the nursery has made a very positive impact on her and has made lots of friends. It’s a fantastic nursery, the staff are so lovely and do a fantastic job looking after my daughter and the children. My daughter really loves playing in the gardens and doing all the activities. I would recommend this nursery and if I ever had more children, I would love for them to attend here.

I was going through my neighbourhood and saw Clever Cloggs Childcare Ltd. I loved the name so I researched it and was very pleased with the review. My baby had a rough early start and I needed a nursery where he was going to feel safe and comfortable.

Clever Cloggs Childcare Ltd gave us that satisfaction, my baby settled in nicely and always looks forward to nursery. We are currently in lockdown and the nursery always keeps us updated with our baby progress and activities. I'm really happy with the services and will greatly recommend.

Overall Experience

My one and three-year-olds started Clever Cloggs Childcare Ltd at the beginning of the year and I could not be happier. In the past two months, my girls have excelled at the nursery and always come home singing the praises of their teachers. The environment and setting are beautiful, and the girls have a fun-filled day each day. All the staff are always very pleasant and really take the time to update me on both the girls day. Both girls settled in extremely well and very quickly. I am so happy we have chosen Clever Cloggs Childcare Ltd to take care of our girls!

Overall Experience

I have had two daughters at this nursery from 2016 to present. Both of them have loved going to nursery and I have always felt confident that they are safe and well looked after! The nursery have handled the pandemic extremely well, with precautions in place that make me feel safe to continue sending my child there. They have such lovely staff that really connect with the children and they are setting them up to go to school. The nursery has great facilities and offers a real home from home environment and also has a great menu of healthy and filling food which is provided. This has meant that my children eat things that they wouldn't eat at home! I think I will miss the nursery as much as my daughter when she starts school in September! Thank you all at Clever Cloggs Childcare Ltd for all your support over the years, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone.
