Clever Clogs Nursery Group voted among the best in the country

A North East nursery group is celebrating after being named one of the UK’s best for a third year running.

Clever Clogs Nursery Group, which includes Clever Clogs Belmont, Clever Clogs Bowburn, and Little Ladybirds Day Nursery in Stockton, has been recognised by the industry-leading daynurseries.co.uk website.

The platform, which is the go-to website for parents and carers up and down the country, gave all three nurseries a perfect 10 out of 10 score based on the reviews submitted by parents and carers.

The same website put Clever Clogs Nursery Group in the Top 20 in its Small Nursery Groups 2025 (UK wide) table for a third consecutive year.

Daynurseries.co.uk has also published its annual Top 20 Nurseries in the North East table, in which Little Ladybirds and Clever Clogs Bowburn and Clever Clogs Belmont all feature.

Among the parent/carer reviews that led to the perfect scores and coveted listings included: • My son loves coming to nursery and has made lots of new friends (Clever Clogs Belmont). • My daughter settled in straight away and loves her days there. Credit to all the staff - we feel at ease and very comfortable knowing our daughter is in safe hands (Little Ladybirds Day Nursery) • Both of my daughters have attended this nursery, and I couldn't be happier with the care and support they've received. The entire team is amazing. (Clever Clogs Bowburn)

Operations Director Sharon Lewis said: “For all three of our nurseries to receive the perfect 10 out of 10 score, and the group to be ranked among the country’s best for a third year running, is testament to our wonderful team who go above and beyond every single day to ensure our little ones thrive, from their first day with us right through to graduation.

“It means even more that the scores and listings are based entirely on the feedback that our parents and carers give. What they think of us, and the care we provide, is so important and shows us that we’re doing a fantastic job.

“Well done to every single member of staff across all three nurseries who has made these achievements possible.”

Clever Clogs Nursery Group employs over 120 people across the North East and is owned by entrepreneur Andrea Townsley.
