Clerkenwell Mount, Islington, a GrandirUK Day Nursery

Both of my kids attended Clerkenwell Mount Day Nursery and had a great experience there. Nursery encourages kids to progress with their learning and supports emotional development, like kids will be cooking together taking turns, or setting up hospital role play where kids will be taking turns in being doctors and patients. Kids benefit from small group sizes and caring staff. The outside space is great and elder kids spend lots of time playing there. They even install a shallow swimming pool for hot summer days. I'd definitely recommend it to local families.

Clerkenwell Mount Day Nursery has undergone important changes over the last two years. Management has become more mature, which is clearly reflected in the way they deal with matters compared to when our first one joined four years ago. In general, very happy with services. Our second one loves it and feels the whole staff provides all the support and care he needs!

The team is exceptional and my son has built strong bond to them and the other kids. It's not an obvious great nursery from the outside but the team makes it great and the fact that it's small result in a family vibe. I recommend 100%.

Our key person, Ajak, is incredibly attentive, warm, and a credit to the team. She provides excellent, detailed daily/weekly feedback on development and activities, and we love receiving the frequent, high-quality pictures throughout the week. Furthermore, the dedication to daily care is evident: our baby is always picked up clean, with his nappy freshly changed, reflecting constant diligence.The nursery environment is expertly designed to foster routine and rest.

Amazing nursery, caring and always in every detail. They go above and beyond planning different activities each week such as educational outings (library, museum, fire station) on top of weekly extra activities such as PE, dancing, park outings. Other examples of going above and beyond are Halloween/ Christmas parties, Christmas photoshoot, Santa at the nursery, breakfast for parents. All that while also doing their job amazingly well and caring about each child's needs and specific details. I cannot recommend this place enough. My kids love it!

Overall, I'm extremely happy and truly grateful for the brilliant care they provide

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!

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.

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.

Our son has been here for 18 months, starting in the baby room and moving to toddlers. He is very happy here and enjoys the company of his friends and all the fantastic activities they put on. The staff are kind and attentive and look after them very well!

My child loves the baby room. The staff are welcoming, warm and caring. He gets fed nutritious meals and sleeps well at the nursery. I love getting updates on the app with pictures of him playing and having fun. It is a fantastic nursery, and I don’t have any worries about him here.

Excellent nursery. We have had a wonderful experience with our son. The staff are extremely attentive and caring. I am also amazed at their creativity, as the children have different exciting activities each day.

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.

We’ve been sending our child here for over 18 months now and are really happy with our choice! Very friendly and happy staff, great location - would definitely recommend Clerkenwell Mount Nursery to all.

I am satisfied with the services provided in the nursery. In particular, the enthusiasm and helpfulness of the teaching staff have been beneficial. The turnover of teachers seems a little too frequent.

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.

The staff at Clerkenwell Mount Day Nursery are brilliant. I feel like all staff members know me and my son well. They always have time to talk, answer my questions and are great at communicating daily updates, including through the app. I can feel that they really care about my son and that this is a loving, nurturing environment where staff members are proactive in facilitating imaginative activities for the little people to participate in and food is made fresh on-site. My son is very happy here.
