Clever Cloggs was established in 2007 and uses word of mouth and daynurseries.co.uk to advertise. Clevercloggs has always promoted a family friendly professional service, taking pride in a strong local reputation for quality early years care and education and continues to do so. A family feel and good communication with parents is at the core of their ethos.
Clevercloggs uses Bowlby’s Theory of Attachment, ‘The central theme of attachment theory is that primary caregivers who are available and responsive to an infant's needs allow the child to develop a sense of security. The infant knows that the caregiver is dependable, which creates a secure base for the child to then explore the world.’
They also use the Highscope Theory.
Findings from the HighScope Perry pre-school Study found that using the HighScope curriculum had positive effects from the time the child attended the setting into adulthood, including better school achievement and literacy, more likely to graduate from high school, adult earnings, home ownership and lifetime arrest rates.
• Children develop self-confidence, initiative, creativity, and problem-solving skills
• Children learn about social relationships, the world about them, maths, science and technology, reasoning, and language
• Children develop positive attitudes to self, others and to future learning
HighScope provides children with:
• A consistent and flexible daily routine which provides for child and adult initiated activities
• Opportunities to choose, plan, carry out and reflect on their activities
• Opportunities for children to engage in the active participatory learning process
• Adults who value and appreciate children and provide a creative and supportive learning climate
Clevercloggs believes that emotionally secure children become competent learners which is why their focus is on a family feel nursery. Go and meet the Clevercloggs Family!

I looked at lots of different nurseries before I returned to work and Clever Cloggs really stood out due to its homely feel, low staff turnover and big garden. My daughter has been at the nursery for two years now and absolutely loves it - it can be a struggle to get her out the door at home time as she likes to give a cuddle or high five to the staff as she leaves. The staff really make this nursery - it may not look as impressive as some of the bigger chain nurseries from the exterior but the level of care received and the learning and development of the children is second to none. The children spend a lot of time in one of the three gardens (baby, toddler and preschool all have their own) which for me was a real selling point as well as having access to a wide variety of toys, books and messy play with different structured activities planned every day to aid their learning.
My son started at this nursery nearly two years ago. I have looked at several nurseries prior to him joining Clever Cloggs and I can genuinely state this nursery has provided everything necessary to ensure my son has a stimulating, fun and safe environment. The outdoor space in this nursery is one...
Thank you, everyone, at Clever Cloggs for all you do, my little one always walks out smiling.
Thank you so much! It’s been a pleasure! Keep in touch and let us know how you are all doing! The manager and the Clevercloggs Team.

I looked at all the local nurseries and although Clever Cloggs isn’t as bright and shiny as all the others we felt it was perfect for our daughter.

It’s been open for nearly 14 years with the same manager and four out of the five original team members are still there- it has a definite family feel! It has fantastic outside space and the weekly observations via Tapestry let us look into her world when she’s there - can not recommend enough - go and have a look!

My granddaughter attends Clever Cloggs Childcare. They provide quality childcare with a homely feel. The centre is a safe and caring environment. My granddaughter adores her carers and looks forward to childcare each day she attends. The staff are always accommodating and approachable. They provide stimulating and educational activities which encourage my granddaughter to be a motivated and independent learner. There is plenty of free play as well as structured learning activities. She loves socialising with her many friends. I could not have asked for a better, more supportive placement for my granddaughter.

My child has been at the nursery for a few months now. It’s like a home from home for my child, the level of care and education is outstanding. She is extremely happy and I can not recommend it enough.

This is because she enjoys it so much she doesn't want to leave. The staff are amazing and really care for the children. We feel that she is in safe hands and is developing really well. The children do so many different activities, the staff are so creative. I highly recommend this nursery, sending our daughter here has been one of the best decisions we have made.
They have made some lovely cards for Christmas/father's day....
Will be sad when he has to leave and go to big school in September.

We have had two grandchildren attending Clever Cloggs Childcare. The eldest grandchild is 9 now and the youngest is leaving - July 2019. They have both been extremely happy here and the dedication of their carers has been excellent. All the staff are friendly and willing to go the extra mile for the children. The outside areas are excellent. I can't praise Clever Cloggs enough and would recommend this nursery to all.

My granddaughter has been at Clever Cloggs for over a year now. There is a good atmosphere and the staff are very welcoming and friendly. When she was in the baby room and I was leaving her off I would be concerned she might not settle, but there was always a carer who would come and offer her a cuddle and settle her in until she got more confident. Now she leads the way to the toddler space, but she is still greeted and invited to join in whatever activity is taking place. It's great to find her in one of the garden areas at pick up time. A few weeks ago I could see her out in the garden watching something very intently. A frog had come into the garden, it had been placed in a container with some water and vegetation and she was so excited to see it hop into the water and swim. I was impressed that one of the carers had done this so the little ones could see the frog closely for a while. Really good place.
My youngest daughter is just leaving to go to school, and after eight years of using this nursery, I feel like we are saying goodbye to family, the dedication of the staff is amazing and nothing is ever too much. The cards on birthdays and Christmas are memories we will treasure forever - Clever...

What’s quite striking is that the children at Clever Cloggs all seem so confident, older kids often waving and wanting to say hi as we walk through to pick up our child. Occasionally, they mix the age groups up at the end of the day and that’s something my child really thrives on. There’s a big focus on learning, my child isn’t even 2 yet and he can already count to 12 and knows his colours (obviously I teach him at home but Clever Cloggs have really reinforced this learning). It sounds untrue but I don’t often hear crying at this nursery and I’ve noticed that the team deal with tantrums in such a caring and respectful way, encouraging the children to talk about why they’re upset etc. I’ve learnt a lot from whitenessing their negotiation skills during the pick-up and drop- off. They also have a fantastic mud garden which my son loves! Can’t speak highly enough of Clever Cloggs.
My daughter's spent three and a half years at Clever Cloggs, she absolutely enjoys and loves the nursery. The staff and management are very friendly and helpful. The nursery has breakfast club and runs from 8:00-18:00, it is really suitable for busy working parents. Clever Cloggs has excellent care...

The nursery has breakfast club and runs from 8:00-18:00, it is really suitable for busy working parents. Clever Cloggs has excellent care and great facilities, I would recommend to anyone looking for a nursery for their child to send them to Clever Cloggs at Welling.
Fantastic nursery!
When looking at nurseries for my daughter, Clever Cloggs wasn’t the most aesthetically pleasing/technologically advanced (i.e. you can’t log in and see your child on camera and you don’t get an alert every time your child has a poo!) but my daughter has been there full time...

When looking at nurseries for my daughter, Clever Cloggs wasn’t the most aesthetically pleasing/technologically advanced (i.e. you can’t log in and see your child on camera and you don’t get an alert every time your child has a poo!) but my daughter has been there full time for 10 months and I couldn’t be happier with my choice.Special mention to the staff in the baby room, they are amazing.
So happy I have found a nursery who really takes pride in their work. Not forgetting the amazing outdoor space as unfortunately at home we do not have any, so this was a winner from the beginning for us.

So happy I have found a nursery who really takes pride in their work. Not forgetting the amazing outdoor space as unfortunately at home we do not have any, so this was a winner from the beginning for us.
My little one has just left baby room who I can not praise enough for their efforts and for settling my nerves on leaving my precious baby for the first time.
Hearing and seeing what my little one got up to in a day was fantastic, stuff I would never have imagined would enhance her learning and abilities. She has become such a character!
Although I'm sad she is leaving babies because she is growing up and the care they provided was unconditional, I am 100% confident that toddler room is going to bring out the best in my child.
Looking forward to the rest of our journey here at this nursery!
