Both of my daughters have attended this nursery, and I couldn't be happier with the care and support they've received. My youngest is still there, and she absolutely loves it! The staff in her room are incredible - they know her so well and always go above and beyond to make her feel comfortable and
engaged.
The entire team is amazing, and management is always approachable, listening to any concerns or questions with genuine care. It's so reassuring to know my child is in such a nurturing and supportive environment. I couldn't recommend this nursery enough!

My son has been attending the nursery for over one year and I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible care and support he has received at Clever Clogs. Since his recent diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes, I was naturally anxious about how he would manage in his nursery setting. However, the team
have gone above and beyond to ensure he is safe, well cared for, and thriving every day.
From the moment I shared his diagnosis, the staff have been nothing short of amazing. They have taken the time to learn about his condition, follow his care plan meticulously, and communicate with me regularly, giving me complete confidence in their ability to manage his needs.
Beyond his medical care, the nursery continues to provide a warm, nurturing, and stimulating environment where he is happy, engaged, and learning so much.

Our daughter loves attending the nursery and always has a fun filled day whilst there. I believe her development and interpersonal skills have benefited tremendously from attending. Our daughter has allergies which need to be taken into consideration and this hasnt ever been an issue and always recwive
a great varied diet (often eating items she wouldnt at home!). Staff are always very friendly and have a real connection with our daughter, which when choosing a nursery is ultimately what matters most, that those caring for your child truly care.

In the 3 years my child has attended the nursery I have found it to be a caring and welcoming place. Everyone from the manager to the cleaner always greets us with warmth. The staff go above and beyond every day to make my child feel secure as well as providing her with fun and enriching activities.
My
child has some additional needs and the staff are considerate, caring and supportive of this. They go out of their way to try new things to support her and always have an open door to any concerns I have as a parent. The SENCo takes time to meet with me if there is something I need to discuss and offers advice.
Knowing my daughter is well cared for and having fun makes leaving her so much easier and I will be sad when we have to leave the warmth and comfort of Clever Clogs for "Big School" later this year.

My son has started at Clever Clogs Bowburn today (18th March) and he had his settling in days the week prior. I have visited the nursery numerous of times now and I have been nothing but impressed. From the second I walked in, I found the nursery to be welcoming and have a good understanding to my questions
no matter how silly they might of sounded. My son is in Tiny Miracles and the nursery practitioners who are based in the room have been amazing, they have comforted my son to ensure he settles in. I have no concerns for his wellbeing here. The updates and photos throughout the day via the app helps me knowing he is okay, what time he had a nappy change, what time he had a nap etc. I find it reassuring how access to the nursery is face identification and if someone else was to collect him it is a password that I make up. So far Clever Clogs has been nothing but outstanding and I look forward to seeing how my son's development comes on throughout his time here.

The nursery has supported my daughter since she was one years old, she is now almost four. The staff are amazing and provide impeccable care for the children. My daughter has been identified with specialist needs over the years, and the nursery have been a key part in supporting her and our family with
this. They have put excellent care in place to ensure her needs are met, we have multiple meetings a year to assess her progress and SEND plans. I feel at ease when taking my daughter to nursery knowing she is looked after, and her needs are being met. We are forever grateful as a family for all of the staff and managers at Clever Cloggs Bowburn for everything they have done and do on a daily basis for our child, and many others. The facilities are fabulous, great food choices, excellent play areas for the children, and an app which keeps us updated throughout the day of how our daughter is getting on. We receive lovely photos updating us also which is a wonderful touch.

They have both thrived at the nursery, staff are accommodating and always there to listen to any concerns. Management have an open door
