We’re so happy to have chosen Clerkenwell Mount Day Nursery for our son. He adjusted quickly with the support of the team. Our son has gone from strength to strength walking, taking and developing into a well-rounded little boy. The daily activities the nursery organises is tremendous with daily updates
through the app offering us insight into his progress and development.

We have had the most wonderful week settling in our 1 year old daughter. All staff have been kind, caring and attentive to both her and us. Starting a nursery, being away from your child is very difficult at first - especially with Covid restrictions. Yet, everyone at Clerkenwell Mount have done their
very best to ensure the process was smooth and enjoyable. I would not hesitate to recommend the nursery to other parents. Thank you.

A fantastic nursery, the staff are very professional and caring. Our daughter attended the nursery's toddler and preschool and the we have been happy with the on-boarding transition and the on-going care and teaching throughout. The management team has a very hands-on approach and have been a great
communicator during the pandemic. The nursery has good facilities compared to other service providers in the area and the inner courtyard allows for play in the fresh air. Would wholeheartedly recommend the place.

All staff at the nursery have been so kind and helpful to us as a family, going above and beyond to accommodate our needs, particularly when my daughter first started (during the pandemic) and logistics where challenging. My daughter is naturally cautious of new places but has adapted so well to her
first nursery. The daily updates always make me smile and I always feel I can trust the staff to look after her, encourage her and give me honest feedback on her day. We will miss the team greatly. Thank you!

We received excellent care for our 2YO daughter at Clerkenwell Mount Nursery. The staff are excellent and really make the nursery part of the local community. We loved the family feel and the open diversity of the nursery. We found it flexible to our childcare needs, communicative and responsive. We
were sad to have to leave the nursery due to the changing situation with COVID-19.

I have been so impressed by every aspect of Clerkenwell Mount nursery. The staff quickly got to know my children and have provided outstanding care and a exceptional learning environment. My children are always enthusiastic to attend and have fantastic bonds with their key workers. I can see the positive

Clerkenwell Mount Nursery is a very warm, welcoming and family-like place for children which to us has been the main reason for choosing this nursery. We got the impression that our son would be taken well care of right from the start. He needed some time to get comfortable as English is not his first
language but everybody at the nursery really did their best to help him along in that process and to attend his individual needs. We would most definitely recommend Clerkenwell Mount Nursery.

We have two children in the preschool and baby room. They are extremely happy to go being very well looked after by the staff. We can follow their personal development through daily reports and pictures. One real perk is the attention and responsiveness of the staff towards us and our requests, suggestions
and concerns etc.
Finally, the nursery is very thoughtful and amazing.

The best thing about Clerkenwell Mount Nursery is the care and attention the children are given. Every staff member we've encountered is kind and nurturing. It's a joy to see my daughter's smiling face at the drop of and pick up times. The range of play and activities is ideal for super curious little
ones, and the photo's and notes we can access through the portal App means we can see what she's learning each day. The nursery is reasonably priced too.

My daughter has been attending Clerkenwell Mount Nursery for 18 months. It's a really nice nursery and the staff and management been very supportive right from the start. Communication and updates from staff helped us a lot to get comfortable. We always felt our daughter was in good hands and there
was not one day where she didn't want to go to the nursery. The food options, especially also those for vegetarians have been great with good variety. Our little one especially enjoyed the activities at the nursery including messy play, the garden, painting, music etc. Overall we can highly recommend the nursery to anyone in the area looking for a reliable and warm (family-like) place for their little ones.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was so apprehensive about my one-year-old son starting nursery, but the staff gave us such a warm welcome and were very communicative, which really helped us through the transition. There is a separate sleeping room for the babies, which I’m sure contributes to higher quality naps. They have been
very flexible in adapting to the routine that we follow at home. I’ve been impressed with the creative variety of activities and the holistic approach to development. The app that they use to keep parents updated with sleep times, food, nappies, activity and development comments as well as hilarious photos is absolutely amazing.
I really like that it is a smaller nursery that clearly places a lot of care and thought into every day to create a positive experience for the children and parents. I would definitely recommend it!

Review from Helen O (Mother of Child) published on 14 August 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has attended Clerkenwell Mount part-time since he was 7-months-old. It was the third nursery we looked at and was by far the most superior. As a first-time mum, they gave us all the time and reassurance we needed. They also offered as many settling sessions that we felt we needed.
We were impressed
with the family atmosphere and the confidence and independence of all the children. Unusually for Central London, there are separate sleep rooms for the children and also a garden which is quiet and away from the road, a huge plus for us. The staff are wonderfully passionate and caring and the new management last year has made some excellent new changes such as a new app keeping all parents updated and storing vital information about the children’s development.
Since COVID, the precautions put in place have been very thorough and we are confident of everybody’s safety. My son really missed his friends over lockdown and is super happy to be back.

The nursery has been very supportive throughout the COVID-19 lockdown - with great communication and careful thought about the return process - as a result the return of our son to nursery was dealt with sensitively and well. Such that he runs into nursery without looking back every morning and always
is very excited on his return.
The nursery provides fantastic stimulation with daily activities and learning. Our son seems to do arts and crafts every day, with reading and other activities.
Our son also absolutely loves his key worker and is always very excited to see her every day, which is very reassuring for us as parents too.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Clerkenwell Mount is a wonderful nursery. My daughter has attended for three years and my son for over six months. They enjoy the nursery so much and look forward to attending every day. The staff are incredibly caring and my kids have developed very strong relationships with them. Both children do
a range of activities every day which really stimulate them and help them develop. There is a friendly, very safe-feeling environment, and whilst the building isn’t that big, it has a cosy feel and the kids always seem very well entertained, particularly by the activities which take place in the small garden. The children eat very well and my son sleeps very well for nap time too. I have been particularly impressed with the reporting back recently via the app, as I can see photos every day of what the kids have been doing, and can see exactly what they’ve eaten, and how long they’ve slept, etc. The manager is lovely and very helpful, and you can tell she really cares for the kids.

My son has been going to this nursery for a year and a half (since he was 10 months old). I've always felt that his safety and wellbeing is the top priority at the nursery. The staff (including management) are warm and approachable. My son loves going every day and has had an amazing relationship with
the key workers he has had so far. It's not a big nursery - you know, and the team know, all the kids by name.

Our son joined Clerkenwell Mount Nursery full time when he was four months old. We have been extremely happy with the care he has received since day one, and delighted to see how he grows and progresses. It is more than evident that he is happy in this environment, absolutely comfortable with all staff
and children and enjoys his days at the nursery - every morning he comes in with a smile and looking forward to play and have fun with his little friends. He seems to be loving the food as well, as he keeps asking for more. All the employees make things very easy for us and are amazingly trustworthy - Clerkenwell Nursery is excellent for parents too. I personally really like the activities prepared for the children, always adapted to their age and incredibly stimulating. We are kept informed about everything through our daily catch-ups with our key referent and an online portal that highlights the events and milestones and even key moments with pictures of our boy.

Our son arrived in the nursery when he was 3 months. The staff were very welcoming and the key person was amazing with our baby, very gentle, involved in all his development and activities. The management is very professional, open-minded, keen to listen and it was a pleasure to come every morning.
Our son loved this nursery and we recommend it at 100%! We will miss it!

My son has been at Clerkenwell Mount Nursery since he was 11 months old and has thrived during his time there. What really stands out about this place is the overwhelming warmth and love for the kids that exudes from all the staff. I never have any doubt that my son is extremely well cared for every
single day. At pick up time I can tell he's had a great day, getting stuck into all different types of play and activities. He amazes me at home with the things he's learned and the skills he's mastered. They encourage and know each child individually, and support them to be curious, independent, kind, polite, and caring. I'm really happy with the nursery and it's a joy dropping my son off, knowing that he's going to have a fun-filled day.

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.
