Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I think the nursery needed some improvements when my son started back in April 2025 which i realised only after he started. I feel that since the management has changed, the environment has changed making the nursery more organised, welcoming, more activities for children. I would definitely recommend
it, a safe place for children, very supportive and a very kind staff (especially for me as i drop my son off at the opening time!!). Although my son has ups and downs (absolutely normal) when i drop him off, i found him playing and enjoying when i pick him up which is reassuring!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has now been attending this nursery a year. A new management team was implemented after an ofsted review October/November 2024, who have been absolutely brilliant. The management team have fostered a transparent and warm environment and I feel confident leaving my daughter at the nursery.
The nursery staff are warm, welcoming and attentive. They encourage her so positively and she has created really close bonds with several staff. The food is healthy with plenty of variety. My daughter eats much more at nursery than she does at home! The past few months the nursery have brought in music classes every week which my daughter loves and have had multiple visits from ZooLab which has been so exciting and a great talking point at home. The garden is small but carefully thought out and they take the children on walks to the park. They are also starting PE lessons in a couple of weeks which will be great. The nursery recently had a renovation and feels fresh and clean but homely.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have been with this nursery for over 4 years now, with both of our daughters attending, and we have seen such a positive transformation over time. The recent team changes have brought so much energy and warmth. Three staff members in particular are incredible. They're bubbly, patient, and genuinely
care about the children. Our girls absolutely love all the team.


The staff are always full of creative ideas to keep the little ones engaged, and there is a really lovely atmosphere. The food is varied and the girls talk about the chef at the house. The outdoor space, although small, is super cute and well used.


Some light refurbishments have also been done, and overall we are just really happy. It feels like the nursery is constantly improving, and we're very grateful for the care and attention the whole team provides.

My son attended this nursery for a year now and we adore it! The caregivers are so sweet and truly adore the kids. They offer loads of fun activities every day, sometime they take kids to local library, parks, much beyond what I'm capable or have the energy to do at home ;) They cook all the food on
site from scratch too which is important to me. Nursery has been recently refurbished and it looks amazing. Thank you Clerkenwell Mount family! We love you all.

My daughter has been at Clerkenwell Mount for 5 months starting when she was 11 months old. She has settled in really well and loves going to nursery. All the staff are lovely and all seem to genuinely care for her. It’s great that there is a chef on site to prepare fresh meals for the children each
day. They do a range of inventive activities with her every day allowing her to use her imagination and creativity. I am so glad that we chose Clerkenwell Mount as she is truly thriving.

Our son has been attending Clerkenwell Mount Day for the last year and they have done an incredible job supporting him and his development. All of the staff are incredibly kind and thoughtful, and our son is always excited to see them in the mornings. They also have done a great job at creating a community
among the parents and with the children, hosting parents in the nursery for events around Easter and Father’s Day. These have been a great way to bond with other parents and children and share in our son’s experience.

Nursery used to be amazing but standards have dropped massively.
One nursery practioner is absolutely amazing, caring and loving towards the children also creating a good relationship with parents and I don’t have a bad word to say about her or the manager.
However, a few members of staff are very
aggressive and disrespectful to both children and parents calling 2 year olds liars!
I have now removed my son from the nursery as standards have dropped massively in the last 6 months and unfortunately would no longer recommend after initially loving the nursery.

We have had a good experience with Three Little Birds/Clerkenwell Mount Day Nursery. The management was very responsive during the initial onboarding days. The nursery is quite a joyful place and kids always seem to have so much fun going in. Our baby has been settling in really well with help from
his key person and other practitioners. He is always encouraged to explore new things (activities, food) and he seems very happy about it. The practitioners are very communicative and always spend time walking us through the day's activities. I would recommend this nursery to other parents.

Our 1-year-old started with Three Little Birds/Clerkenwell Mount Day Nursery full day, four days a week in May and we have been incredibly happy with our transition to nursery! Management are fantastic and highly communicative, our key person is wonderful, always providing updates on the settling-in
period and daily status reports. I'm a big fan of the app which lets us know how our child has slept, what he's eaten (very cooperative with the egg allergy we have) and overall well-being. I would recommend this nursery to other parents.

The Clerkenwell Mount Day Nursery is a welcoming and curiosity development environment in which our 8-months son has been finding great care and comfort for the last two months

I only have great things to say about the manager and carers at Clerkenwell Mount Day Nursery. I arranged to have a visit as a prospective parent, as my 26-month-old had become despondent and miserable at her old nursery.
On my visit, I spoke at length to the manager about my daughter, who listened
intently and gave suggestions and support. I signed my daughter up on the day, and she started a week later.
My daughter has been attending for 2 weeks… and she is back to her great old self, dancing, laughing, and chatting away. The staff have been so patient and understanding of her needs, I’m amazed to say that after 1 and a half weeks she is completely settled with new friends and is super eager to leave the house in the morning. I have my happy girl back! Thank you to all the staff.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (9.015)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (9.015) out of 10 for Clerkenwell Mount Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 7 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 4.679 for Clerkenwell Mount Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (59 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.679
  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 4.336 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Clerkenwell Mount Day Nursery is based on 7 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 = 3.7
    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 55 number of registered child places is 11. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 11 = 0.636
  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.
