  • Clerkenwell Mount Day Nursery, London
Clerkenwell Mount Day Nursery is located in a charming Grade II listed building formed by converting two adjoining town houses in the heart of Clerkenwell.

The younger children have ongoing access to sensory and holistic play throughout the day. They engage in a variety of tactile and messy play experiences to develop their gross motor movements and sensory skills.

The older children have age-appropriate rooms that allow free-flow access to the garden. Children take part in the different activities that have been set up based on their interests and to support their development in the 7 areas of learning.

The nursery's basement studio enhances children’s learning, providing opportunities for yoga, drama and dance for all ages.

Skilled practitioners use a heuristic approach to actively involve children in their learning, identifying their interests and build upon these in their everyday experiences.

Healthy, warm and nutritious meals are prepared daily by the nursery cook and support the healthy growth and development of each child. Specific dietary requirements can also be catered for.

My son attended this nursery for a year now and we adore it! The caregivers are so sweet and truly adore the kids. They offer loads of fun activities every day, sometime they take kids to local library, parks, much beyond what I'm capable or have the energy to do at home ;) They cook all the food on
site from scratch too which is important to me. Nursery has been recently refurbished and it looks amazing. Thank you Clerkenwell Mount family! We love you all.

My child loves the baby room. The staff are welcoming, warm and caring. He gets fed nutritious meals and sleeps well at the nursery. I love getting updates on the app with pictures of him playing and having fun. It is a fantastic nursery, and I don’t have any worries about him here.

My daughter has been at Clerkenwell Mount for 5 months starting when she was 11 months old. She has settled in really well and loves going to nursery. All the staff are lovely and all seem to genuinely care for her. It’s great that there is a chef on site to prepare fresh meals for the children each
day. They do a range of inventive activities with her every day allowing her to use her imagination and creativity. I am so glad that we chose Clerkenwell Mount as she is truly thriving.

Our son has been attending Clerkenwell Mount Day for the last year and they have done an incredible job supporting him and his development. All of the staff are incredibly kind and thoughtful, and our son is always excited to see them in the mornings. They also have done a great job at creating a community
among the parents and with the children, hosting parents in the nursery for events around Easter and Father’s Day. These have been a great way to bond with other parents and children and share in our son’s experience.

I am satisfied with the services provided in the nursery. In particular, the enthusiasm and helpfulness of the teaching staff have been beneficial. The turnover of teachers seems a little too frequent.

Nursery used to be amazing but standards have dropped massively.
One nursery practioner is absolutely amazing, caring and loving towards the children also creating a good relationship with parents and I don’t have a bad word to say about her or the manager.
However, a few members of staff are very
aggressive and disrespectful to both children and parents calling 2 year olds liars!
I have now removed my son from the nursery as standards have dropped massively in the last 6 months and unfortunately would no longer recommend after initially loving the nursery.

We have had a good experience with Three Little Birds/Clerkenwell Mount Day Nursery. The management was very responsive during the initial onboarding days. The nursery is quite a joyful place and kids always seem to have so much fun going in. Our baby has been settling in really well with help from
his key person and other practitioners. He is always encouraged to explore new things (activities, food) and he seems very happy about it. The practitioners are very communicative and always spend time walking us through the day's activities. I would recommend this nursery to other parents.

Our 1-year-old started with Three Little Birds/Clerkenwell Mount Day Nursery full day, four days a week in May and we have been incredibly happy with our transition to nursery! Management are fantastic and highly communicative, our key person is wonderful, always providing updates on the settling-in
period and daily status reports. I'm a big fan of the app which lets us know how our child has slept, what he's eaten (very cooperative with the egg allergy we have) and overall well-being. I would recommend this nursery to other parents.

The Clerkenwell Mount Day Nursery is a welcoming and curiosity development environment in which our 8-months son has been finding great care and comfort for the last two months
The team is communicating greatly with parents through a daily updated application and through daily conversation for which
they are always available.
We’d recommend it!

I only have great things to say about the manager and carers at Clerkenwell Mount Day Nursery. I arranged to have a visit as a prospective parent, as my 26-month-old had become despondent and miserable at her old nursery.
On my visit, I spoke at length to the manager about my daughter, who listened
intently and gave suggestions and support. I signed my daughter up on the day, and she started a week later.
My daughter has been attending for 2 weeks… and she is back to her great old self, dancing, laughing, and chatting away. The staff have been so patient and understanding of her needs, I’m amazed to say that after 1 and a half weeks she is completely settled with new friends and is super eager to leave the house in the morning. I have my happy girl back! Thank you to all the staff.

We could not be happier with Clerkenwell Mount Day Nursery. Really competent and helpful staff, very flexible and accommodating. Good, nutritious food for the children as well as plenty of room for them to express their creativity. I feel reassured knowing our daughter is spending time here as I know
she is genuinely cared for.

Our experience with the nursery over the past three years has been very positive. They are very attuned to each child’s individual needs and give children lots of opportunities to express their creativity. They are incredibly flexible and accommodating too, which we’ve found important as our lives change
and child’s needs evolve.

We had our daughter start at Clerkenwell Mount in January when she was 13-months-old and were so nervous about the transition (she had only ever been home with me for the last year). The nursery manager was very understanding and flexible with us, and we really felt like she had our daughter's best
interest in mind (rather than nursery "rules" like some other places we've heard of). Our daughter had a tough time transitioning, but the nursery staff let us take it really slowly, and we've eventually gotten to a great place where we feel really confident that our daughter can stay for a full day and be happy. The nursery manager was incredibly patient during this whole time - never making me feel bad for calling to check in every day. We feel like we've really found a gem of a nursery and like this will be a long-lasting relationship (feels like a family vibe).

Unbelievable nursery! Couldn’t recommend it more. I am very impressed. Our little girl has been there since she was 8-months-old. They do amazing activities every day. Even for a baby as young as my little one. They have an app for parents to use which gives updates every day with pictures (which makes
a huge difference when you are at work missing your baby to see what they have been doing during the day). The menu cooked by the chef is incredibly varied.
The only downside is that the room allocated for nap time is only separated by a curtain and is right next to the play area. Instead of sleeping three and a half hours a day, my baby gets an hour or so… it’s a difficult one.
Other than that, I highly recommend the nursery.

Very professional and feel our daughter is being taken care of properly. She comes home explaining what she did with a smile and a confident look. They offer natural, healthy snacks/lunch which she is currently getting used to slowly and we appreciate the team taking time for her to adjust.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (8.971)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (8.971) out of 10 for Clerkenwell Mount Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 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 4.444 for Clerkenwell Mount Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (71 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (4 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 4.444

  • 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 4.527 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Clerkenwell Mount Day 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 55 number of registered child places is 11. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 11 = 0.727

  • 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.
