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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We can't be happier with the service we've had with Clever Clogs. My child is absolutely thriving at nursery and the care and attention they have received has been outstanding. Everyday when I pick them up, I get the genuine feeling that the staff could stand and talk all day about them and I love reading

the little updates to see how they're getting on. Clever Clogs was the absolute best and right choice for us as a family. Thank you so much! Huge thank you to two staff members in particular, because of your hard work, care and attention, my child is absolutely thriving at nursery and they're becoming so confident and independent. They absolutely adore seeing you both everyday which is obvious by their massive cheeky grin when they see you every morning.

Our daughter has been going to Clever Clogs full time, since she turned one (she's now 2 and a half).
She loves seeing her friends and the staff at nursery, so we don't have any issues taking her in the mornings. She came home today with lots of stories (as usual) and an amazing French plait. I can't

even get her to sit still enough to brush her hair, so they're clearly doing something right. I really can't recommend them enough, for any age.

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

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. We adore all the stories we are told too, each day there's a new recollection of something. Every little bit of detail is included. We really can't believe how fast the time is going from when you and your family started with us, time does fly when you're having fun. I will pass on your wonderful comments to the staff. It's greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Both of my children have attended Clever Clogs over the last 5 years and I have nothing but praise for the nursery. The range of activities is really varied, fun, creative (and messy!) The meals provided are healthy and really offer a varied diet with an opportunity to try new things. The team work

really hard to make sure the children's routines are maintained and help with forming new ones. (Potty training help has been invaluable). Lastly, the staff are warm, welcoming, engaging and really do go above and beyond to give you a thorough handover and understanding of how your little one is doing.

Overall Experience

My little boy has attended this nursery for 15 months and grown through 3 of the rooms already and I couldn't be happier with my decision to place him with Clever Clogs. I have recently seen a major improvement in his speech and development since moving to his current room and each day I can tell how

he's coming on in leaps and bounds. It's obvious to see how much the girls do for him and how happy he is when he is there, from day one everyone has always been so welcoming and caring and their communication is fantastic, it's lovely to get photos during the day to see what your little one is up to and the fun they're having. My little one never fails to skip in and out with a smile on his face. It's clear to see that the nursery has a fantastic balance of fun and education and they really do care about each of the children. Couldn't recommend them more.
