Our child has been attending nursery for the past 3 years and loves it. In every room, he has formed a great bond with at least one of the staff members. Every single staff member is lovely and any concerns or issues have been addressed immediately. Great location and the food is also great. Look forwarding to sending our next child here.
The loveliest nursery! 2 of my children attend this nursery, my little boy was born with hip dysplasia, so i was nervous for him to start nursery, but so many members of the staff spoke to us to ease our minds, put us in contact with the appropriate people to make sure he has the extra support he needs, i will definitely recommend this nursery to others, my eldest will be sad to leave for big school in September
Very friendly staff members, well equipped for all round development of the children and fair fees for paying children.
My children always look forward to attending nurser.
Overall I would recommend the nursery to anyone.
My son has been at Cleverclogs nursery since he was 1, and he is now almost 4. He has Autism, and throughout his journey, Cleverclogs has accepted and embraced him, providing incredible support for his needs. He has developed a strong connection with his key worker, who has played a key role in supporting his progress. The SENCo has also been very helpful at every step, ensuring he gets the support he needs. I would happily recommend Cleverclogs to anyone.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, we Appreciate your kind words.
My child absolutely loves going there each day and has grown both socially and academically. The communication with parents is also great - we always feel well-informed and involved. We couldn't ask for a better nursery experience. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for your Lovely review, we appreciate your kind words.
She specially loves two staff members in particular who are a great credit to the nursery.
My daughter has a high level of care required and The SenCo has been brilliant in supporting me and her throughout this time.
Would highly recommend cleverclogs nursery.
thankyou for taking the time to complete this review, we really appreciate your kind words and are always here if you need anything.
All of the staff are so friendly and do really care about your child cannot fault them and I appreciate all the care and support they provide for my son and I.
Thankyou so much.
thankyou for taking the time to complete this review, we really appreciate your kind words and have passed this onto the staff based within your little ones room.
This nursery is first class. Their SENCO/SEN team is fantastic too. They have provided the absolute best support and care for my son and for me. They go above and beyond every single time. The staff are just so lovely, friendly, professional, very skilled, approachable and extremely caring. They will put your child and your child's need first. I have absolutely nothing but praise for them all. Such a wonderful outdoor space, and so many brilliant activities the children love. We received in depth regular progress reports and they would regularly liaise with other health care professionals, such as speech and language teams etc. I would recommend this nursery 100%, it is the best care possible for your children.
Both my children have attended Cleverclogs, and I couldn’t wish for a better nursery/preschool. Nothing is too much trouble. The staff are just wonderful and so great with the children and parents. The children get to do so many lovely activities, and we have so many keepsakes from their time at Cleverclogs. I will miss the staff greatly when my little boy starts school.
Lovely nursery with friendly, approachable, caring staff. Varied activities and a great parent app that keeps you updated on what your children are up to. Yummy meals and brilliant handovers. Would highly recommend.
The staff treat all the children as their own along with helping them develop and evolve into the little people they are becoming.
They do lots of different activities and I love our daughter coming home with paintings and gifts she’s helped make (we especially loved the Christmas decorations).
We can’t praise the nursery enough for all the hard work they put in every single day to make sure our daughter and all the children are cared for and have a fun time. Thank you.
Ever since my child has attended this nursery, whether it’s been in the baby room or preschool, she has thoroughly enjoyed it. Every day she comes out all smiley and is very eager to tell me what she has done that day.
My child really enjoys going to Cleverclogs. My older child also went there and loved it. The staff are fantastic, they go above and beyond. I couldn't recommend it more. We viewed loads of nurseries before deciding on Cleverclogs and it was by far the best.
This nursery has friendly staff, caters to your babies' needs and answer any questions I throw at them.
I couldn't thank them enough for my mornings off and look forward to my son's hours going up in the future.
The Hedgehog team are fantastic and my little girl has such a good relationship with the team, especially one member of staff who I’m very fond of myself, she is such a lovely lady to chat too and is so reassuring. She is an asset to the team.
I also find all the staff so friendly and helpful, they honestly all go above and beyond to help my little girl have such a lovely time at nursery.
10/10 Cleverclogs, I know full well my little girl has many more happy years at your nursery ahead of her.
I cannot recommend this nursery enough. As a parent of a child with additional medical needs, the care our child received at this nursery was amazing. The staff are lovely and have great bonds with the children. My daughter loved it here as did we. She would always come home with lots to tell about her day. She never wanted to leave. Now she has moved to school she is always asking when she can go back. Thank you Cleverclogs Day Nursery team.
Enrolled my first daughter as soon as I returned to work from maternity leave, I was very unsure how to go about choosing a nursery and they were so helpful answering questions I had and even some I hadn’t thought of! She’s been going for over a year now and she loves being there! She’s so excited to be there she sometimes forgets to say goodbye to me! Any queries I’ve got are always answered by the highly competent, knowledgeable staff, if they don’t have the answer immediately they find the information and forward this onto me. I would have absolutely no hesitation in highly recommending Cleverclogs to anyone looking for childcare.
Lovely team of staff who genuinely care about my son's well-being and learning. A variety of fun activities, which frequently change and entertain my son. My son loves going to nursery which makes it easy for me to do my job as I know he is happy throughout the day.
Both of our children attend Clever Clogs. One is currently in Owls and one in Foxes and we have only ever had good experiences. The staff are all very friendly and approachable and they form good relationships with the children. There are plenty of activities which change from week to week, and they get lots of time outside. Staff are very good at updating the parents' app so parents can see what their children have been doing.
The girls in Owls are brilliant. I trust them with him when he’s there and know he is in great hands because I’m sure by now they all know how much I worry! Can’t fault them at all.
Great class, great staff, brilliant food selection, love how many different activities they do and when there have been minor problems over the years everyone is very helpful when it comes to resolving.
