What a gem! Weve finally found our safe haven for our child. Set in beautiful grounds and with a real homely feel, Clayesmore Nursery is every parents dream. My daughter settled in so easily, she loves all the staff and they've been so supportive with potty training and have really helped her flourish and build new friendships. My daughter has sensitive allergies and I feel reassured that all the staff know how to deal with this. The nursery itself is brand new so all the toys, furnishings, floor coverings are purpose built, safe and appropriate for the children. All in all im so happy we've found this place and im sure my child will continue to love and enjoy her time at Clayesmore.
Thank you for your lovely review, Natalie! We absolutely love caring for your daughter. She brings us so much joy and happiness each day as she skips through our doors! We're so excited for all the special memories we'll create together and the fun adventures still to come at Clayesmore Nursery.

It's such a relief knowing he's in such a positive, nurturing environment. Highly recommend to any parent!
