The nursery always looks lovely. The staff are very friendly, caring and helpful. The management team are always happy to help. My son's development came on leaps and bounds since starting at Clairmont Day Nursery and Preschool and I would highly recommend the nursery to others.

Review from Chery P (Mother of Child) published on 20 April 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Overall a decent nursery however showing signs of decline;My son joined the baby 1 unit 14 months ago and the ladies in the room were fantastic, really attentive and I felt comfortable for 4 days a week knowing that they really cared and connected with my boy. The transition to Baby 2 room was handled well and the staff were nice however there were many staff changes. My son had been in the baby room 2 for 7 months and despite my requests to see his development story, I have never received it. My son has just transitioned to Toddler 1, which was handled poorly in terms of the amount of times he visited and the timing of the transition. I can only assume that these declines are a result of poor management/direction with the staff and a lack of focus on learning/development which is why I've marked these points low. Its a shame that I've encountered these issues - with a few tweaks then I'm sure the rating would be far better as there are lots of good points about the nursery.

Great bunch of people. My son always happy to be left and is now a struggle to take home at the end of the day. Eats all his food so it must taste good. They always go the extra mile with creative pictures/paints.

Overall Experience

Always friendly and professional. Made it easier for me to return to work part time as I felt my son's individual needs and well being were accounted for to a high standard. Lots of different activities and outside play. The staff consistency is high meaning they get to know all the children really well.

Review from Lisa (Mother of Child) published on 23 February 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My 3 year old son has been at the nursery since May 2015 and my daughter has just started in the baby unit. Both settled really quickly and happily. The rooms are spacious and fully equipped with all the appropriate toys, plus the outdoor areas are fantastic. The staff are absolutely brilliant: really attentive, enthusiastic and open to suggestions/feedback. The mangers have also been really helpful and accommodating when I've needed extra adhoc sessions, which has been a life-saver. I would definitely recommend to others.

Allergies looked after really well.
Really impressed with the ratio of male:female staff at the nursery.

Great attention, care and enthusiasm from every person who looks after my child. Managers are very willing and have an "open door" any time I have needed to discuss anything.

Review from K M (Mother of Child) published on 26 November 2015 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has attend the nursery since she was 18mnths old and is now in Preschool at Clairmont. It is a daunting prospect putting your child into the care of others but I haven't looked back since she started.

All of the staff have been excellent caring for her and she surprises me everyday with what she has learnt. She loves seeing her friends, painting, drawing, and singing in the music class. Some days I think she would rather be at nursery full time than spend it at home with me!

The nursery setting is within a Victorian house with the baby unit in a separate building to the older children. The different aged rooms are good sizes with different learning areas within each room. The outdoor space is excellent with 2 gardens for the different ages of children.

The quality of food that is served is excellent so much so my daughter often eats seconds and thirds of her meals!

The nursery are always open to new ideas and they have lots of exciting activities planned for the next year to enhance the children's time at Clairmont.

The nursery is fantastic. We have had our children in 3 nurseries in the Manchester or Cheshire area and this is by far and away the best. We are extremely comfortable with our children in this nursery and they offer a brilliant, flexible service.

Review from Susie B (Mother of Child) published on 13 October 2015 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I loved Clairmont from the moment I first visited. I'd viewed nurseries before, but this one immediately felt homely. In fact it was once a home. It also has great outside spaces and they even have a rabbit.
The staff are wonderful. I felt dread each time my son moved up a class, as I got to know them all so well. But each time I wasn't disappointed. He settled in beautifully each time he moved and loves it.

I would recommend Clairmont to anyone.

Overall Experience

We are very happy with our choice of nursery. Our daughter attends full time and enjoys her time at Clairmont. She is proud to show us her work at the end of the day and she is coming on incredibly well. She starts school next year and the staff are preparing her for this teaching numbers and letters during fun activities. She gets to play in the lovely gardens and help look after the pet rabbit. The staff are very friendly and give thorough handovers to let you know what has happened throughout the day. I highly recommend the nursery.

Review from Amanda J (Mother of Child) published on 7 September 2015 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

After visiting most of the nurseries in the area, and my little boy hating every one of them, we walked into this one and it was an instant calm, relaxing and controlled area, with lovely helpful staff and very happy babies.

After being worried sick that my little boy would never be happy when I leave him, he now cries when I pick him up after his day at nursery. It is safe to say that he absolutely loves it. This has made the transition of going back to work very easy, knowing that he is cared for by highly trained, lovely staff, and that he loves being there.
