Overall Experience

Excellent nursery, my daughter loves it here. When she first started she was a bit apprehensive but now she's the first one up to go to school. The staff are also amazing, I don't have any concerns or a bad word to say about Cleverclogs, all-round brilliant.

Overall Experience

I have two children at Cleverclogs, one in the preschool and one in the toddler room. Both love going to nursery and always come away happy. My daughter has multiple food allergies and eats nursery meals. I am very confident in the cook making my daughters food, she does an amazing job. All of the staff know my children by name, even if they don’t work in their rooms and always greet them and say goodbye and are always smiley. I feel like my children are very well cared for at nursery and all of their needs are met.

Review from Samantha S (Mother of Child) published on 9 March 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Cleverclogs is outstanding.

Since my daughter has attended, she has developed into a very clever little individual. They do so much each session which is structured to the particular age group and I know that my daughter enjoys going to her nursery sessions.

The staff are always friendly and caring. Especially when my little girl is upset at drop off time.

My little girl is currently going up from the owl room to the squirrel's room and the owl's team have been brilliant in settling her into her new room at squirrels.

Thank you, in particular, to two staff in the Owl Team, who are brilliant with my little girl. you are both amazing.

I definitely would recommend Cleverclogs to my friends and family.

Overall Experience
I took my son for a settling in session at the nursery, he enjoyed his time there, there were plenty of toys, space to nap and it looked like the perfect nursery setting.

It is, however, their routine that I wasn’t comfortable with, after snack time all of the children have to go outside, even though it was cold and rainy it was a must, the majority of children were having loads of fun, including my son, but there was one boy crying, really crying that he wanted to go in for nearly the whole time spent out there, one staff lady was trying to comfort him, picking him up and telling him it would be time to go in soon, but then another younger member of staff with a big fur coat on tutted at the crying child as she walked past, said “not this again” and seemed annoyed at the child.

Reply from Charlotte Goddard, Manager at CleverClogs Longwater

Thank you for your feedback. As a setting, we value all feedback. We are pleased that the children were having lots of fun, and your son enjoyed his settling- in sessions in January with us. We are sorry that you did not raise other matters with us when we spoke on the phone. We do encourage the...

Overall Experience

My children have been coming to Cleverclogs since they were a little under a year old and they have loved it. My oldest is sadly going to have to leave in September and it will be a very sad day for us all. The staff are warm and welcoming. They have really nurtured and helped my daughter in developing her personal social skills. I'd definitely recommend this nursery.

Review from Daisy J (Mother of Child) published on 8 May 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience
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!

Overall Experience
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.

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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!
