Had a granddaughter attend Claverdon Village Nursery and she really enjoyed her time there till starting junior school. Now her brother has just started Claverdon Village Nursery and so far he's coming out happy but at 9 months old, he's starting to charm all staff.

Amazing nursery. Had all 3 children here and just knowing that my children were happy, well looked after and enjoying their days at the nursery with staff who genuinely cared about them and were interested in knowing them as individuals, made being away from them bearable. Hard to trust people with
your children but this nursery cares so much about them, you always know they're being looked after. All a parent wants is to know that their children are happy and cared for in a wonderful setting, and this place does that.

We are so happy with our choice to send our daughter to Claverdon Village Nursery. She settled in very quickly and always comes home with a big smile on her face. The nursery has a lovely feel which is created by the caring and experienced staff. The purpose-built setting is fantastic and the meals

Our daughter has been going to Claverdon Village nursery for over 2 years now and I honestly can't fault them. Our daughter is always keen to go and comes home talking about her friends and activities she's done with the nursery staff. They're flexible, accommodating, really supportive and all the staff
are just lovely. We are very happy to be sending our second child to the nursery later this year too and feel very lucky to have such a lovely nursery in the village. We chose it because the format isn't too structured or formal - children can be children, and despite not knowing any of the staff beforehand, we also felt like we were leaving her with a family friend which meant we've never worried about her time there. I'd recommend it to anyone!

I cannot recommend Claverdon Village Nursery enough. They have been so helpful and supportive of our child starting nursery and really made us feel completely at ease with the transition. Our child loves going to nursery and they are confident and relaxed being there which I think speaks volumes in
itself! A lovely village nursery, with incredible and hardworking staff who put the care of your child as an utmost priority from day 1.

Claverdon Village Nursery is a caring, nurturing and loving place to help raise your children. Both my daughters attend with my oldest about to transition to Primary School. Claverdon Village Nursery have gone above and beyond to help make that transition as easy and exciting as possible even with
the added pressure of the COVID regulations, they have comforted, educated and guided my children through the changes, even helping to put my own worries at ease. My children always come home with a smile on their face. All members of staff are friendly, smiley and make so much effort to get to know your child individually as well as the parents. I cannot recommend this nursery enough. Thank you!

Claverdon village nursery is a safe and fun environment for any child. My daughter was there from 2 until school. The nursery prepared her well for school and helped her develop her self confidence along with the social and emotional skills to move to school. My youngest son started in the baby room
from 9 months. All staff were very keen and proactive in how they managed his food allergies. The nursery manages transitions between baby and ‘big’ rooms well. All staff are friendly and take a genuine interest in all of the children. They adhere well to safeguarding principles and have adapted their provision well to adhere to covid guidelines as best they can. My children and others who’ve attended all appear to feel safe and secure when in the care of Claverton village nursery. The links between the nursery and school also provide a sense of belonging and make school transitions as easy as possible. I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

Our daughter has attended for just over one year. From the very first settling sessions, she has been made to feel so very welcome, not just in the baby room but as we’ve gone through the building, by all staff. Our daughter is very fond of several people who work there and we are pleased these relationships
are encouraged and developed with more than just one specific key worker. Staff are attentive and caring and our daughter looks forwards to going and appears to really enjoy her time there. We feel the nursery has supported her in gaining confidence and developing new skills. On pick up and drop-offs, I’ve always really appreciated the details the staff share, what she’s been working on and what she’s enjoyed. A big appeal for us as parents were the toys selected and used in the nursery, which tend to be more natural and based around a Montessori approach. Communication from the nursery is clear, helpful and staff have always been professional, yet kind and caring.

All three of my daughters have been to Claverdon Village Nursery, with the youngest about to leave and move to Primary School. The manager and the team have gone above and beyond in helping us care for our girls - so much so we made her a Godmother!
I'd have no hesitation in recommending this lovely
nursery - your children will be raised in love and care. The nursery has strong links to the local community, and the children are often seen exploring the world around them - supervised closely of course.
If you are considering Claverdon for your children, I'd go for it - it's the best decision you can make and by far the best nursery in the local area.

Claverdon nursery is an excellent nursery. We have sent our 2 children to here and have been extremely happy. Our eldest daughter went to 2 nurseries before Claverdon Nursery.
It’s a family-run nursery. The staff are very experienced and knowledgeable in early years care. Staff retention is excellent.
They have worked really hard to make sure that the nursery is Covid-19 secure, but also ensure that it remains the same caring and very enjoyable environment for the children. Our youngest has several food allergies, but the staff have always been very attentive at managing this appropriately and enabled us to feel he is entirely safe in their care.
What makes Claverdon Nursery so special is it’s extremely nurturing. It is also part of a village community. I would highly recommend choosing to send your children here.

Mama, I love Nursery … those were the words of my daughter last Sunday when she asked if she was going to nursery and I said not today.
She's nearly 3 and has been attending for 2 years. As a parent, it's an immense relief to drop your child to nursery in the mornings knowing that they are enjoying
it and they're also well looked after. The staff is really attentive and caring and the facilities are very good. Nutrition was important to us when looking for a Nursery and the fact that the food is cooked on-site, varied and fresh is a big tick in the box.
Learning opportunities are diverse and on a personal note, the staff embraces the fact that my daughter is bilingual which is another big bonus for us.

I cannot recommend Claverdon Nursery enough! My daughter has been there since she was one and will be leaving this summer as she heads off to school and we are absolutely devastated her time there is now ending. The staff are incredible and genuinely love all the children, and the manager has continuously
bent over backwards to accommodate me, constantly changing my daughters days due to work commitments. There is absolutely nothing negative I could say towards Claverdon Nursery and can confidently say it has played a huge part in my daughter's happiness over the last few years. Keep up the good work guys!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.871)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.871) out of 10 for Claverdon Village 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 4.9 out of 5 from 13 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 4.968 for Claverdon Village Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (151 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.968

  • 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 4.903 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Claverdon Village 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 72 number of registered child places is 14.4. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.4 = 0.903

  • 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.
