The Review Score of 8.9 (maximum of 10) for Cleverclogs Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 6 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Cleverclogs Day Nursery in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 4 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Day Nursery / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Day Nursery receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.833 for Cleverclogs Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (60 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.833
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Day Nursery to friends and family?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 4.028 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Cleverclogs Day Nursery is based on 4 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 3.75
Target of 14.4 positive Reviews (72 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 4 Reviews ÷ 14.4 Target = 0.278
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

Due to change of work direction, I'm having to change childcare for my son who is 2 years old. He started Cleverclogs Day Nursery about 8-9 months ago. I was so nervous about him starting, but due to the fantastic care and attention he received, he settled in so lovely, without any problems. He has built some great friendships with the staff and other children. It's very sad that he will be leaving. I couldn't have asked for much more from the team at Cleverclogs Day Nursery. They encouraged my son with his speech and his toilet training. He has built a lot of confidence. The staff and team have been brilliant at reporting back at the end of the day to what my son has been doing. I myself will miss the team as well. Thank you Cleverclogs Day Nursery and best wishes for the future.

Lovely friendly nursery. My son enjoyed every day he spent there and he learnt so much. He was always greeted with a smile and made to feel comfortable when he arrived. I felt reassured he was in good hands. Very flexible when I needed to change the days he was there, even when last minute.

I strongly recommend this nursery. The staff in the pre school room are fantastic. All four ladies are warm, friendly and most importantly, really care about the children. As well as meeting all my child's needs they have created a great learning environment and one which my child is excited to spend time in each day. Any issues are dealt with in a quick and professional way.
We have visited many nurseries in the area and in my opinion CleverClogs is by far the best!

Both of my boys, age 2-4, have recently started at Cleverglogs nursery. I was very nervous at first as it was a lot different to our previous nursery. However, both my children have made such progress in such a short time. Staff are always keeping me informed on what has gone on that day and what they have learnt.
Taking my boys to this nursery was the best thing I could have done.

My son attends Clever Clogs. Since joining the nursery he is now talking a lot more and understands a lot more. He loves this nursery and all the staff who care for him. The ladies in his class are all warm and friendly which made it easy for my son to bond with all of them. I highly recommend this nursery to anyone who's considering placing a child here.

My eldest child went through the baby room, toddler room and preschool at Clever Cloggs and had a fantastic time there. So it's with no hesitation that we now entrust Clever Clogs with our 7 month old. The staff are all so friendly and really love the children. The cook is fabulous and the children eat well as a result. They have well stocked rooms with lots of activities to stimulate the little ones. An all round very positive experience!
