From as little as £48.89 per day (or £37.75 per day with the Bridgend Early Years Grant funding applied).
As parents, you will rightly consider the cost of sending their child to private school. St Clare's understands that parents want flexibility in the way they pay their fees. There are different options available to parents, from paying termly in advance by direct debit or if they would like even greater flexibility, monthly through the School Fee Plan.
Onsite visitor parking available.
St Clare's School Nursery has a Review Score of 10 (9.987) out of 10, based on 13 reviews in the last 2 years. Over all time St Clare's School Nursery has 53 reviews.

Thank you so much for your lovely words and taking the time to write a 10/10 review. From his first day at our lovely nursery, your little one became part of the St Clare's family with access to all the resources and facilities of an independent school. With our innovative new early years curriculum and outstanding level of care, your great grandson son receives all the support he requires to develop into a curious, confident and rounded young person.

Thank you so much for submitting your lovely review. The girls love the balance between child-initiated and adult-initiated activities to ensure they acquire the appropriate skills, knowledge and are cognitively challenged and supported. They have settled in so well and have made such lovely friendships.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review of our lovely nursery. It has been wonderful to see how quickly your daughter has settled in from her first morning with us.
She has really enjoyed the real-life authentic experiences we offer in the early years such as the wormery, the trip to the garden centre to choose and buy the nursery fish and to choose and buy their own cake in the cafe. These experiences are hands-on, purposeful and meaningful to the children, encouraging children’s independence, and offering risk, challenge and opportunities to experience success along the learning journey. They are rooted in real-life, authentic contexts, to engage children in deep levels of involvement and long periods of uninterrupted active learning.
I am sure she will love the whole range of natural resources that have been delivered in the last few weeks.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review of our brilliant nursery. It makes our hearts sing to read such lovely comments. It was lovely to see your daughter settle so quickly and thrive since her first morning.
She has loved the recent trips to the garden centre to buy the nursery fish and choose and purchase her own cake in the cafe. Their recent trip to the beach was enjoyed by them all; the ice cream was especially popular! It has been lovely to see her enjoying the weekly Spanish lessons and Forest School on Fridays too.

The Review Score of 10 (9.987) out of 10 for St Clare's School Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.
The Average Rating of 4.987 for St Clare's School Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (154 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.987
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').
The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for St Clare's School Nursery is based on 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 28 number of registered child places is 5.6, which has been reached with 13 Positive reviews. Points = 1
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
