My daughter has been going to Clarence House March for 7 months now since she was 15 months old, in that time we’ve seen such a massive change in her confidence and social skills. It was a slow start for her settling in due to separation anxiety, but the whole team at Clarence House March really made
the process for my daughter (and me leaving her) as smooth as possible. It wasn’t long before she started waving me off at the door - a testament to how secure and comforted all of the team, and especially her key workers, made her feel.
My daughter's communication skills and speech have also developed vastly over this time and as mentioned, her confidence in interacting with other children is so lovely to see.
A massive thank you to the lovely team at CH, we can honestly say our daughter is so fond of all of you and comes home a very happy little lady.

My daughter has been at Clarence House for a year now, and my son attended for 2 years previous to her. My children have always been eager to go to nursery in the morning and are never in a rush to leave as they enjoy their time there so much. The staff are bubbly and friendly and do a great job at
caring for the children, helping them to learn and build confidence. We haven’t had one issue in the 3 years we’ve been using this nursery and would recommend it without hesitation.

My daughter has been going to Clarence House for the past couple of months. She has settled really well which has put me at ease as her mum. All the ladies are fantastic, I can’t fault them. I would definitely send any future children I may have here. The most wonderful atmosphere at drop off and pick
up, couldn’t ask for more for my daughter!

My son has been going to Clarence House March for nearly 2 years now.
In that time, his confidence, social skills, and speech have improved dramatically and I honestly believe that this would not be the case without the manager and the team. We call the manager his 'day mummy' and that is a testament
to how comfortable and at home he feels with the team.
I'm now worried about taking him out for school next year as I don't know what we will do without you!
Thank you, ladies. From the bottom of my heart.

My daughter has been at the nursery for about 4 weeks now and like others I was really apprehensive to leave her as she was only 10 months old.
The staff are all lovely and friendly and I feel my daughter is in safe hands. I get regular updates and photos of her during the day which is lovely to see.
My
daughter seems much more confident and has progressed a lot since starting nursery.
I would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone considering taking their child there.

My daughter loves this place! Always so happy to go in, and always has the biggest smile when I pick her up. The activities are great, always changing from day to day and they always celebrate and do fun learning around special occasions, throughout the year. My daughter has had speech therapy and the
staff helped and supported her and me throughout this and she has now been discharged. We will both be sad when my daughter leaves to go to school this year. My son who is just nearly one also attends and he also loves it! He has come on so much since starting here a couple of months ago, I was struggling with the weaning stage and within 3 weeks of him being here, he was eating lots! The play in the baby room is fun, messy and just great for the little ones. The garden is big, secure and has separate space for the younger ones. I could go on and on about all the positives. I can't thank the staff enough for the loving care they show to my children.

My son has been with Clarence House for a little over a week now and I am so impressed with the nursery so far. I was very hesitant and scared about letting someone else look after and care for my son but Clarence House has really put my mind at ease. My son is only 9 months old and in just a week he's
been there has progressed so much! I was so impressed with the food they offer him, and when he's not wanting to try what they have they always offer him something else. The manager is amazing and you can tell she really cares about the nursery and the children there. He is always so happy to go in and is always smiley and happy when I pick him up (or he's fast asleep). They also send pictures and notes every day to your email which has really calmed me down while I'm at work. Excited about his future at Clarence House!

My son has attended Clarence House Day Nursery in March since he was 1 year old, the team have gone above and beyond. It’s so hard as a parent to find a nursery that you trust to watch your little one while you go back to work, this was the hardest part for myself I researched all nursery’s in the area
and visited them as well, Clarence House was the perfect option for myself and my son, as a bonus I like the fact they have CCTV in all rooms, Clarence House also have separate areas for different age ranges and each child has a key worker who works closely with your child so they get used to that key worker. The nursery also has a secure garden area for the children so you know they are safe in the nursery environment. They have set meals available for all children's dietary needs. He settled in straight away, the team are welcoming and friendly, I’m glad I picked Clarence House as he’s learning all the skills needed for bigger school.

My boys (24 and 50 months) have been going for almost a year, all the staff are great and very welcoming. The nursery practitioners and the managers really try to engage the kids and they are really committed to providing a safe, fun and loving environment; they have a great playground which is nice
and different from other nurseries. We’re very thankful to the whole team at Clarence House. I recommend this place to everyone looking for quality care.

My baby is currently settling into nursery. The staff in the room are very welcoming and, as well as making my baby feel at ease, have also made me feel at ease leaving him in their care. He is settling well and I always feel I am kept in the loop and given a lot of detail regarding his day and how
he is coping with his new routine.

Our daughter has been at Clarence House Day Nursery since she was 7 months old and the progress she has made is amazing, especially early on. The staff are so friendly and warm and very thoughtful when it comes to special days ensuring a Mother's/Father’s Day card has been made and also get well soon
cards when her dad had hurt his foot. The manager is brilliant and is so accommodating and helpful. Our daughter loves going to Clarence House and I know if and when we have any more we wouldn’t send them anywhere else!

Very good setting. My child has a great bond with workers. Helped out numerous times at short notice. All the workers are polite and professional and never get any issues. The first kids went there so went back with the next child.

My daughter has only been in the nursery under a month but she has already learnt so much and seems to absolutely love being surrounded by children her own age.
The practitioners seem lovely and are very welcoming to my daughter's daily routine and really do their best to provide the best care.
It’s
hard to leave your child with anyone you don’t know but they have been very kind and friendly as well as sensitive to this so I appreciate them a lot!

When I first brought my daughter to the nursery she was welcomed with open arms by all the staff and she was made to feel very comfortable. There wasn't a time when my daughter had a bad day, she always left with a happy face and plenty of stories to tell. The nursery is really good at keeping you up
to date with everything that's happening throughout the day. They're really accommodating and I couldn't rate them enough. I'm so happy that I chose this nursery for my daughter as she has blossomed since being there.

The staff at Clarence House are second to none. I came to them at a really difficult time after an awful relocation. They were so accommodating and supportive. They welcomed my daughter with open arms and quickly she fell in love with them and the setting. She’s blossomed over the time she’s had here
and that’s down to the hard work these guys put into activities. I hear endlessly about the staff when she gets home and about her friends. I’m also incredibly jealous when I pick her up and hear about the food options they had that day! Yum. My daughter finishes nursery this month to start her new adventure at big school. We will never forget the impact you’ve had on us though and the loving environment you provided. x

My daughter has been attending Clarence House March from 6 months and is absolutely loving it. We haven’t had a tear on drop off or collection she is learning so much and making new friends all the time. I receive regular updates through tapestry to show me what my daughter has been up to.

Amazing nursery and staff! My daughter joined Clarence House March in May this year. Since joining myself and my partner have loved seeing the development and enjoyment that my daughter has had from attending. All staff members we have come into contact with have been lovely, and have looked after our
little ones every needs whilst in their care! I wouldn't choose anywhere else for my daughter to attend!

My eldest daughter has attended Clarence House March for nearly 3 years and my youngest for 4 months so far. Both attended from a young age and settled really well into the new environment with positive feedback from staff which was really reassuring when leaving them for the first time. My eldest has
always loved going to nursery and looks forward to it each day. The staff are very welcoming and I can see they are in good hands. The management are also very helpful and quick to respond to any queries I've had. I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery to others looking for childcare.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.200)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.200) out of 10 for Clarence House March 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

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 5.000 for Clarence House March is calculated as follows: ( (72 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 5

  • 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 4.2 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Clarence House March is based on 6 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 = 3.6

    • 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 50 number of registered child places is 10. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 10 = 0.6

  • 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.
