Overall Experience

Our daughter has been attending Clever Clogs since September 2024 and we can honestly say, she has loved every second! We feel confident in leaving her as she runs in on a morning with a smile on her face and rarely turns around to say goodbye. They have always gone above and beyond with their care,

daily activities and giving frequent updates throughout the day on the app. Our daughter has formed relationships with the staff members in her room as she comes home to tell us that they're her "best friends". When picking her up at the end of the day, the staff can't tell you enough about how her day has been, what she has eaten and any activities she has been doing. Our daughter's speech and confidence has come on leaps and bounds since starting at Clever Clogs and we can't thank the staff enough!

Overall Experience

My little girl has been attending Clever Clogs since September 2022 and honestly we would not go to any other nursery. In all her time here we have never had any problems, she loves going to nursery and whenever we pick her up she always has the biggest smile on her face! The ladies that work here are

amazing always so helpful and kind, nothing is ever too much. As a parent knowing your child is safe and happy whilst you are not with them is something you cannot put a price on and this is definitely how we feel about Clever Clogs!

Overall Experience

My son really loves Clever clogs. He always goes in happily and is completely comfortable with all the staff who have made him feel very welcome. He follows a meat free diet and there's never been any issues and he is always catered for. The activities always look fun and he loves to get involved. The

staff always give us updates on his day but also his development. We are really happy leaving our child here with such a lovely group of people. Thank you x

Overall Experience

The staff seem to genuinely care about your child and one of my favourite things is when I go to pick up my kid or drop them off - the staff that don't work with my kid on a daily basis also know them well and my child recognises them and I think that's really lovely. I do feel they are looking after

my kid like it is their own which is always such a relief as a parent.
They have strict rules in place for food allergens as well which must be really good for any parents sending kids in who have allergies.

Reply from Donna Green, Nursery Manager at Clever Clogs Day Nursery (Belmont)

Thank you so much for such a kind and heart felt review. All the staff go out of their way to ensure they know each and every child in the nursery, It's essential for us when it comes to the transitions too. I have passed you amazing feedback on to the team and they are so thankful for it. This means the world to everyone. Thankyou.

Overall Experience

My little boy has been going to Clever Cloggs for coming up to a year and the way he has developed is incredible!
The staff are always so lovely during drop offs and pick up times!
My little boy is only 1.5years old and has made such a connection with the staff he knows their names and has become

so much more confident in talking to people.
I couldn't reccomend this place enough!
He has so much fun each week and is learning so much!

Reply from Donna Green, Nursery Manager at Clever Clogs Day Nursery (Belmont)

Thank you very much for your kind words and for taking the time to complete a review. The staff are overjoyed with your feedback.

My son has been attending Clever Clogs since January after we moved houses and we're very impressed with the professionalism of the staff and how much our little one has developed in the last couple of months. We're very happy so far with them and very impressed with the way they help children learn.

Communication is also fantastic, we're always aware of what's happening with our little one.

Overall Experience

It is now six months that our two-year old joined Clever Clogs Day Nursery (Belmont), and I am very happy to say that the experience has been excellent, for us and for him. Our son is always happy to leave home in the morning, and just goes inside his room at the nursery without even looking back. When

I pick him up, he is all excited and says goodbye to everyone.
Staff are really caring, and our son has developed an excellent relationship with all of them. When I pick him up, they tell me about what he did during the day, and they provide a beautifully written report every month where they detail the progress that he has made. He engages in carefully planned activities and is provided with plenty of resources to develop himself and discover new experiences. It is very reassuring to see how much progress he has made in these six months.
Clever Clogs are also very strict in relation to safeguarding, which is very reassuring.
In summary, he loves them and they love him!

Reply from Donna Green, Nursery Manager at Clever Clogs Day Nursery (Belmont)

Thank you very much for such a delightful review. We adore every moment with the children. It is paramount they are provided with stimulation activities which help them in every way to learn and develop. We really couldn't ask for a better transition to be a part of, The bond your son has with staff is outstanding, it's bee a pleasure for us all.

Overall Experience

Both my children attend Clever Clogs nursery. The staff have been amazing in all the rooms they have been in right from the baby room up to pre school. My children are thriving and have shown so much progression over the years.
It is easy to communicate with the nursery using the family app and they

reply straight away.
It is apparent that the staff love working with the children and take time to really get to know them. Both my children skip into nursery and it's lovely to see and reassuring for me.

Our little girl has been attending CC since she was 9 months old. The staff are so welcoming, understanding and helpful. She has progressed so much in her time so far here and forged strong attachments with members of staff. I love to see her pictures online and on the app of all the fun and activities

they get up to. They helped us so much on her weaning journey too as they offer a wide range of healthy nutritious foods. Thankyou CC!

Overall Experience

Amazing nursery that provide excellent care and support for my child. My child has developed so much since starting nursery last year. Their confidence has grown so much and to have watched how they have developed has been a joy. The food is always amazing and there is plenty of variety so my child

gets to experience different foods and meals. The staff are always friendly and supportive, it always feels like one big family. My child is always very well cared for and loves going to nursery. The facilities are always clean and there is so much for my child to do. I love being able to see daily updates on the app and love seeing the pictures of my child during their day at nursery. I couldn't be happier with the nursery and my child has thrived so much since starting there. It is an amazing place and I am so grateful to all the staff for their work ethic and support.

Overall Experience

My little boy has been attending Clever Clogs nursery for 6 months now. He was very anxious initially and we had a few tricky drop offs but the staff were all fantastic at easing him in, building those important bonds and making him feel comfortable. He now excitedly shouts 'yeah' when we ask if he's

going to nursery so we couldn't ask for more. All the staff are friendly, approachable, professional and it's evident they enjoy what they do. Attending clever clogs has been great for his development, his talking has come on fantastic and he definitely enjoys his nursery days.

Reply from Donna Green, Nursery Manager at Clever Clogs Day Nursery (Belmont)

Overall Experience

Fantastic nursery that provides lots of fun activities aimed towards development of the children. My little boy has flourished since starting this nursery around a year ago. The staff who work here care very much for the children in their care and take such good care of my son. I never have any concerns

leaving him in such good hands. I enjoy the app the nursery uses which means I can check in throughout the day and love receiving updates of what he's been up to and also how his development is coming along.
My only points would be the price of the nursery per day does feel a little expensive compared to others alongside having to provide breakfast and tea and the parking is very poor which can make it a tad stressful at pick up or drops offs.
Overall an excellent nursery with brilliant staff and I would highly recommend.

Reply from Donna Green, Nursery Manager at Clever Clogs Day Nursery (Belmont)

Thank you very much for your wonderful review and feed back. I will ensure I share this with all the staff, they will be delighted. We can't believe how fast the time has gone since your family joined our nursery. It's amazing to watched the children grow and develop. Kind Regards & Huge thank you.

Overall Experience

My 14 month old started at Clever Clogs when he was 10 months old. I was very nervous about him starting but from the first visit to the nursery I felt put at ease by the lovely staff in his room, along with the management staff in the office. My son has settled so well and he loves going in, he doesn't

even look back! He has a lovely bond with his key worker and the other staff in his room. The facilities and variety of activities my son has access to is amazing, he has learned so much already in the short space of time he has been there. Nothing is ever too much trouble for the staff and the communication from the nursery throughout the day is really good. This is my second child to attend Clever Clogs and I would 100% recommend this nursery to other parents.

Reply from Donna Green, Nursery Manager at Clever Clogs Day Nursery (Belmont)

Thank you so much. I will pass your amazing feedback on to all the staff. It's been a huge pleasure to have had your child come to the nursery, being able to be apart of their early years journey is something we cherish. We are over joyed with how well your child has settled. The bonds with staff is definitely something special, which are very dear to them.
