Clarecroft staff are fully committed to providing a ‘home from home’ environment for children to enjoy. The setting welcomes children from 3 months to 11 years old and aims to provide all children with high-quality care in a warm, safe and friendly environment with a variety of stimulating resources.

The nursery has an enclosed garden with safety flooring and a variety of age-appropriate outdoor resources. The nursery also has a CCTV system installed throughout the premises.

At Clarecroft, staff follow the 'early years foundation' stage framework to support early learning experiences, and this is backed up with lots of practical hands-on activities for children in all age groups.

However, Clarecroft is about more than just covering the curriculum; it’s about teaching children to share experiences and building confidence.

Staff hold appropriate early years qualifications which give children the care and inspiration needed to thrive in a rich and fun learning environment.

The nursery cook prepares freshly cooked meals on the premises daily. Individual dietary needs are also catered for.

All staff are trained in paediatric first aid, food hygiene, safeguarding, manual handling as well as plenty of other ongoing training to support the delivery of the 'early years foundation stage'. This ensures that parents have peace of mind when leaving children in the nursery.

The nursery has strong partnerships with parents and staff keep parents updated about each child's day on a daily basis.

Funded places are available for 2, 3 and 4-year-olds.

Clarecroft will provide all children with the opportunity to make friends and gain the confidence to make the move up into the first year at school and beyond.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My boys wake every morning asking if it’s nursery. Once there they run in the gates, they tell me who they have seen and what they have done at the end of the day. The staff are very friendly and always smiling. The portal can be tricky, I have had a few problems but staff are more than happy to help.

Our daughter has attended Clarecroft from a baby and moved through the rooms to pre-school. We have all had an extremely positive and rewarding experience using the nursery. Our daughter has thrived over the years, loving her time their immensely and has always wanted to go. The staff are all attentive,
fun and you can see that they really care about your child. She has learnt so much through the varied activities that they do and is always coming home with her latest artwork. We would not hesitate in recommending the nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Great nursery. My little girl is in the sun room. She has been there for three months now and is 1. She clearly loves the nursery and gets very excited to see the staff. They have different activities set out every day, great outside space to play in and I am regularly updated on her day with photos
and observations via the app.
I cannot recommend the nursery enough. Staff are welcoming and always pleased to see us with genuine care and interest for the children.

The staff are extremely friendly and my son loves coming here. They offer a massive range of activities on a daily basis and I find it amazing that they have theme months every month. The food that Clarecroft Day Nursery offer is above and beyond what you’d expect a nursery to offer.

Clarecroft is an outstanding nursery, they provide excellent provisions and activities for the children. It is well organised and the safety and wellbeing of all is paramount. All the staff show great dedication and really go the extra mile to get to know the children in their groups.
My little boy
loves his days in nursery and goes in happily each day. He tells us all about his day and the activities he completes with his teachers and friends.

Lovely welcoming staff who take the time to get to know you and your child. A bright and well-equipped nursery with a good amount of outdoor space, really good. Children get to choose if they play indoors or outdoors. Really good menus which are cooked freshly, every day.

Clarecroft is a superb nursery. Our child has attended since he was a baby and is now a pre-schooler. He has had a fantastic time within each room of the setting and was supported to transition seamlessly between stages. He always talks positively about his time there and we feel well informed and involved
as parents with his time at nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.930)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.930) out of 10 for Clarecroft Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.930 for Clarecroft Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (321 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 345 Ratings = 4.93
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Clarecroft Day Nursery is based on 29 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 63 number of registered child places is 12.6, which has been reached with 29 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
