Excellent, cheerful and friendly staff. My son adapted quite well and quickly and he is now happy to be dropped off. I also really love the app where I can check up on his day-to-day activities.

Excellent experience with very friendly and hardworking staff members who provide updates on well-being of the child and progress during the day. They always make sure the child is being involved in group activities and progressing in their developmental milestones. Good communication and can track
the child's activities with an app which is helpful. Safe environment and makes it easy for staff to drop off and pick up the child after work, making it less stressful for the parents. Overall, would recommend it highly.

My daughter attended the Nursery 2019-2021. She really liked the Nursery and made and maintained lasting friendships with other children. The staff at Clarendon Nursery are very friendly and one can see genuine bonds and relationships between staff and the kids. After my daughter left the Nursery for
school nursery, she missed Claredon Nursery immensely. So it is not surprising that when we had our second born, he also was enrolled and still attends the nursery. The care the team provides is exceptional. Very considerate and accommodating, seen when my son was unwell for a period of time. The support received from staff and management is commendable. I highly recommend the nursery.

Kind and considerate team.
Very informative with updates and review of standards they meet.
Nice, clean room and good bathroom/changing area set up.
Small outside space, but have done lots with it over the past three years (new slides climbing area etc.).
Good communication from management team.

My daughter has been attending Clarendon Nursery since she was thirteen months. She loves it and made lovely friends! I could not have chosen a better nursery for my daughter. The staff are brilliant; very caring and loving. My daughter has learnt a lot and I watched her confidence grow massively. It
is a small nursery so we all know each other and they work together like a family. The key workers, manager and deputy manager are all great and very professional. Excellent indoor and outdoor facilities. Variety of food options for vegetarians. The app is great as I am able to see photos of my daughter; her activities, what she has eaten and her developmental milestones. Excellent opening hours and location for someone who works at the hospital. Overall, the nursery has exceeded my expectations. Thank you so much for your hard work. Keep up the good work. This will definitely be the place to go to when my second child arrives!

A brilliant nursery with hardworking and caring staff. My little girl has been there for over three years and has developed massively in confidence during that time. Due to its size, it has a nice ‘family’ feel to it and I have never had a negative interaction with any of the staff who work there. Extremely
grateful for having both of my little ones go there.

Our daughter loves nursery, she settled in quickly and has really bonded with the staff and has made lovely friends. The staff seem to know her well and we get regular updates on her day through the app. The nursery seemed to have dealt very well with the pandemic and remained open throughout, which
has been a huge relief. I recommend this nursery to anyone who asks.

This nursery is excellent in all aspects. All the staff are caring and dedicated. The kids love them and my son is very keen to go to nursery as he finds it a very enjoyable experience. My son has been attending the nursery since he was one year old. We have only had good experience with staff and care
provided. The manager is proactive and great in communication, she is helpful when adjustments in days of care are needed, even at short notice. We are very grateful for the excellent facility and both me and my wife go to work with absolute confidence that our son is well looked after at Clarendon Nursery.

Small nursery, we know all the staff and have a good relationship with them. We feel they know our son well and have always been very happy with his care there. They stayed open for key workers during the early stages of the pandemic which we really appreciated. Very convenient hours and location for

I cannot speak highly enough of Clarendon Nursery and the staff that work there. My son has developed in so many ways since starting at 12 months. He has gone from being extremely shy and struggling with other children to racing through the nursery door to see his friends and wave me goodbye. The staff
are worth their weight in gold and provide such an incredible service for the children and their parents.

Brillant! What a fantastic nursery. The staff are amazing, loving and there aren’t enough adjectives to describe them.
Our two boys are so excited and can’t wait to get through nursery door each day.
A lot of people can learn from the dedication and love the staff give to the children.
Regular updates
from the staff and app.
A fantastic manager who answers queries and emails.
Can’t recommend this fantastic nursery highly enough.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

The staff are very friendly and lovely yet very professional. They always try to give you a brief summary of your child’s day when you pick your child up.
Although my daughter was about 9 months old when she joined the nursery, I‘ve noticed a huge change in her personality and development.
She became
more confident in herself and very keen to explore and learn. The staff were very supportive to help her to settle in at the beginning and to bond with the staff and the other children at the nursery.
I also want to mention the brilliant nursery’s mobile app that shows your child’s activities timeline i.e. nappy changes, meals, observations and assessments.
I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent especially if s/he works at the hospital.

We are very happy with the care our child receives at nursery. The staff seem to genuinely care and take an interest in our child. We receive daily updates on the nursery app and are provided with a brief handover about the day during pick up. Our child is happy to go to nursery and seems to have good
days there. Would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

The nursery ring our phones with any concerns. We are updated regularly on the app and when we pick our child up from the

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.600)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.600) out of 10 for Clarendon Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 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 4.800 for Clarendon Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (76 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 95 Ratings = 4.8

  • 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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Clarendon Nursery is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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 38 number of registered child places is 7.6, which has been reached with 8 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.
