Caring and supportive!

“They have provided the absolute best support and care for my son and for me. They go above and beyond every single time. The staff are just so lovely, friendly, professional, very skilled, approachable, and extremely caring. They will put your child and your child's need first. I have absolutely nothing but praise for them all. Such a wonderful outdoor space, and so many brilliant activities the children love. We received in depth regular progress reports and they would regularly liaise with other health care professionals, such as speech and language teams etc. I would recommend this nursery 100%, it is the best care possible for your children.”
“Both my children have attended Cleverclogs, and I couldn’t wish for a better nursery/preschool. Nothing is too much trouble. The staff are just wonderful and so great with the children and parents. The children get to do so many lovely activities, and we have so many keepsakes from their time at Cleverclogs. I will miss the staff greatly when my little boy starts school.”
“Our daughter has been with the nursery for a year and a half now. She absolutely loves going to Cleverclogs and seeing all the wonderful staff. I can tell it’s more of a home from home experience.”
“The staff treat all the children as their own along with helping them develop and evolve into the little people they are becoming.”
“They do lots of different activities and I love our daughter coming home with paintings and gifts she’s helped make (we especially loved the Christmas decorations).”
“We can’t praise the nursery enough for all the hard work they put in every single day to make sure our daughter and all the children are cared for and have a fun time. Thank you.”
“My son has been attending Cleverclogs for a year now and he loves it. Knowing he is happy and safe gives me peace of mind each day. The staff are caring and engaging with the children and know them each individually. The garden is an amazingly big space and my little one loves to explore whenever he can. Really lovely nursery and have recommended it to other parents looking for a nursery in the local area.”
“I think the fact our son sometimes clings to the door frame, not wanting to leave when we come to pick him up, just speaks volumes about Cleverclogs! He had attended for the last nine months and we have been so impressed with what we’ve seen. The staff are brilliant and you can tell they really care about the children. They do some lovely activities and have lots of things for the children to do/play with. The garden is fabulous too, especially with the addition of the vegetable patch. Really lovely, kind and caring nursery.”

Philosophy

Our philosophy is to provide a home away from home environment, where children within our care are happy, safe and relaxed, ready to engage with their peers.

We provide an enriched learning environment to help children learn and develop. We understand that parents are their child’s first educators and are crucial to children’s learning and development and as such, we value and encourage your input and strive to maintain a positive relationship.

Values

Our aim is to provide you and your child with:

The best staff – A qualified, dedicated and enthusiastic team, who are continuously training, and are recruited for their empathy towards and understanding of children. Our aim is to provide for your children as we would our own, providing them with the best possible start to their learning.

The best environment – Allowing freedom to develop and structure for guidance, “grownups” for security and playmates for belonging. And, of course, a continually renewed range of educational toys and activities aimed at providing fun, stimulation and a sense of achievement, whilst maintaining that home from home environment.

The best nutrition – Freshly prepared meals made by our on site cook using fresh products with varied menus catering for all dietary needs.

The best partnership – With whom to entrust the care of a child –one which recognises the primary role of the parent in childcare and is privileged to be chosen as the day carer, who realises the importance of two way communication and values parental input and view.
