Review from A N (Father of Child) published on 1 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter has been at Cleverclogs for over a year now and the staff there have been nothing short of amazing. They take such good care of her, she is buzzing with excitement everyday when we arrive. The staff know so much about her and quite clearly care so much about what they do. The communication is great, we always know what's going on at nursery with our child and in general. A particular shoutout to the management team, we have had a lot of changing circumstances over the past few months and they've always been helpful and clear about how everything around funded places works. I've definitely been an annoying customer but Sharnie and the team have made it so easy to deal with them and get everything sorted without ever impacting our daughter's care! Cleverclogs is exactly the kind of place any parent would want their child to go, we feel very lucky to have a place there.

Reply from Sharnie Bruce, Manager at CleverClogs Cringleford

Thank you so much for your very kind words. We will always do everything we possibly can to support our children and parents as we understand how difficult navigating funding and nursery can be. We appreciate that you have recognised how accommodating we are and it is so lovely to watch your little...

My son always enjoys his time at nursery and I love the amount of outdoor time he has when the weather can allow. Staff spend a good amount of time at pick up speaking to me about his day which I really appreciate.

Reply from Sharnie Bruce, Manager at CleverClogs Cringleford

Thank you for your kind review. We understand how important the communication is and love spending time in our outdoor environment and are pleased this is recognised.

Review from Emma G (Mother of Child) published on 1 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This is a small, caring and fun nursery. Our child absolutely adores her time there and has ever since she was 6 months old. We have always felt very comfortable leaving her in their care and know that she is always well looked after. The care is second to none and all the adults know the children so well. I can't recommend the nursery enough.

Reply from Sharnie Bruce, Manager at CleverClogs Cringleford

Thank you so much for your high recommendation. We take pride in the care we provide and we are so proud that this shines through.

Review from Ellie B (Mother of Child) published on 1 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been at CleverClogs Cringleford nursery for the past 14 months. There has not been a day where she hasn't wanted to go to nursery, but there have been a few occasions where she hasn't wanted to leave. It isn't easy to trust anyone else with your child, but I feel confident that my daughter is well cared for by the team at CleverClogs. I am always kept informed about what she has been learning and I am always called if there is an issue. However, I do not feel that I am called or asked to pick her up when it is unwarranted, which I am grateful for as a working mother. Thank you for taking such good care of my daughter.

Reply from Sharnie Bruce, Manager at CleverClogs Cringleford

Thank you for your lovely review. We try to understand things from both a child and parent perspective and will always do what we can to support our parents as well as the children. We understand how difficult it is to trust anyone with your most pride possession but we are thankful that you have found your trust in us.

Review from S M (Mother of Child) published on 1 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Very good small day nursery at the end of a quiet cul de sac. My daughter has attended from baby room all the way through pre school now and has forged strong friendships with the other children. Teachers are caring and organising daily fun activities, plenty of learning in preschool now, a lot of time in the outdoor garden. Food is cooked on site. Overall really happy and I'm certain my daughter will miss it when she starts school this year.

Reply from Sharnie Bruce, Manager at CleverClogs Cringleford

Thank you. We cannot believe it is nearly time for her to start school and she really will be missed but she is more than ready for school and we know she will continue to thrive.

My child has made some lovely friends at this nursery. The staff team are warm and welcoming and provide a caring and supportive environment for children. There has been some wonderful improvements in the set up and facilities over the last few months that my child has enjoyed using.

This nursery helped my child's confidence to grow and provides a good foundation for attending school.

Review from Hugo K (Father of Child) published on 1 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Overall, I am very happy with the care provided at Clevercloggs Cringleford. The staff are fantastic, they make both my son and daughter feel incredibly welcome, and the range of activities they organise is brilliant.

However, I feel the premises require more investment from the owner. Specifically, the car park potholes are a genuine hazard for parents and children, and the conservatory in the toddler area has a 20+ year plastic roof that must lead to temperatures exceeding 40°C in the summer. In my opinion, the staff and children deserve a facility that matches the quality of care provided.

Reply from Sharnie Bruce, Manager at CleverClogs Cringleford
Thank you. We're delighted to hear how happy you are with the care provided and that our staff have made your son and daughter feel so welcome-your kind words mean a great deal to the whole team.

We also really appreciate your constructive comments regarding the premises. We completely understand...

Just excellent, my daughter loves going to nursery. Its a warm friendly 'homely' environment. There is a strong focus on learning and development. It isnt too busy which i like and there is a studio outside in the garden outside with a little softplay area which my daughter loves.

Overall Experience
There's such a lovely vibe about the nursery, everyone seems invested in your child and knows what is going on with them. Low staff turnover with everyone knowing the key things about your child, always keeping us up to date on progress and any incidents in the day.

There's great outside space which is one of the reasons we chose the nursery and we trust everyone completely with our little girl due to the level of care and attention they have shown over our time with them so far.

Reply from Sharnie Bruce, Manager at CleverClogs Cringleford

Thank you. That is really lovely to hear and I will pass on your lovely comments. We are very lucky to have a great team!

Staff is caring, fun, educational and go far and beyond to guide the little ones for the next steps :)

Review from Mollie N (Mother of Child) published on 3 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter absolutely loves going to CleverClogs! She talks about the nursery staff all the time and is visibly excited to see them. They take the time to talk to you about your child at drop off and pick up and it is clear that genuine, caring relationships have been built between them and your child. My daughter always comes home happy, exhausted and in need of a good bath after lots of fun activities! Exactly what we were hoping for.

My child really enjoys coming to nursery, and we've been very happy with the friendly, supportive staff. The outdoor space is great, and the care provided has been consistently good. The overall tidiness and cleanliness could be improved, though we understand the building is older. Overall, we're pleased with the experience and grateful for the team's hard work.

Thank you very much for your lovely review. We really enjoy exploring the outdoor area with the children and are looking forward to the upcoming works to our nursery.
