After a bad experience at a previous nursery, we were apprehensive about starting at a new place. However, from our very first meeting with the nursery manager and our son's key worker, our anxieties soon disappeared.
Since starting here, I have seen my son flourish, rapidly developing his speech and
social skills thanks to the attention paid by all of the nursery staff. We have been provided with regular updates on his developmental progress as well as areas to focus on at home, which has been incredibly helpful. On a daily basis, we are informed what the children will be focusing on throughout the day (letters etc.) and regular photos.
All the nursery staff are warm and loving towards the children and this is really visible with how the children interact with them. My son often doesn't want to go home until he has greeted all the staff individually.
There is a real sense of community here - and it's a shame we weren't aware of this nursery sooner!

After many weeks of research I was successful in choosing a good nursery for my son from 18 months to 4 years old. I am very happy with this nursery and made a consecutive decision to move my daughter too. They have natural resources, a Montessori approach and full of fun and impactful activities. The
staff are very friendly including the nursery manager. We have met with the director too and they have always found solutions for me. My children come home cheerful and happy. I can say that they have excelled in most areas of the framework.

KGems is a brilliant nursery. I have seen so much improvement in my little ones and they have excelled tremendously. The staff/teachers are very kind and welcoming. My girls absolutely love it here. I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent for their child.

The manager is excellent, and fosters a caring culture of inclusivity and diversity. The team are clearly caring and have a fantastic relationship with the children compared to other local nurseries we have experienced. Our son is always excited to be going in and looks forward to seeing his friends
and the staff too. When he's not at nursery, he often talks about the staff and other children which is a reflection of how much he enjoys his time there - it's an extension of his own family. He loves the food and the nursery has done a brilliant job of encouraging him to eat his greens which 'help him grow' - as he keeps telling us at home. The outdoor play area is bigger than any we've seen in this locality and they're placed within the park which is great for the children. We know our child is happy and safe here and the only regret we have is that we weren't aware of this nursery sooner.

My son has had the best time at KGems - Clayhall Park. Thanks to the team there, he has progressed well. My son's communication skills have improved.
Thanks to a particular staff member and the team, my son is now ready for big school.

kGems in Clayhall is absolutely wonderful. The staff are great. They're on point for everything. I really admired how they cared for my child while she was at nursery. Being at nursery really boosted her confidence. She became their little helper. I have built a good bond with all the staff members
at the nursery. They have happily worked with me whenever it was needed. They have been so attentive to our needs. Me and my child, both, will miss the staff dearly. I have to say every single person in this nursery (from management to food prep/chef) deserves a big raise. They all established such a loving and caring relationship with my child. My child would hug the staff whenever she saw them. I will truly miss these specific staff members of Clayhall branch. I think I might be more sad than my child to be leaving kGems. I wish all these lovely hardworking people a prosperous future.

My 18-month-old child started at kGems Clayhall Park Nursery in March 2024, and she has loved it since day one.
The team at kGems Clayhall are warm, friendly and kind, together with the manager and deputy manager both reassuring and attentive to parents' needs, this was the first time I sent my child
to nursery so I was a little nervous.
But I soon realised I need not have worried at all, the nursery staff cared for my child like their own, they worked hard, and went the extra mile!

We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful care and attention my 2-year-old daughter receives at kGems Clayhall Nursery. The staff are exceptional, always keeping her busy and engaged with a variety of activities that stimulate her development and creativity.
One of the highlights for us has been
the special events they organize, such as Sports Day, which was a fantastic experience for the children. They also made my daughter's birthday truly memorable with a lovely celebration that made her feel very special.
The communication from the nursery is excellent, and we always feel informed about my daughter's progress and the events happening at the nursery. The dedication and warmth of the staff make kGems Clayhall a nurturing and joyful environment for my daughter. I highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a caring and engaging place for their child

My son is very happy and I know he loves going to nursery! Say everything to me!
He's come out of his shell with the help of the lovely key workers and has built great relationships. When he arrives home and speaks to me (unprompted) about everyone!
Puts a big smile on face.

My daughter attends the Clayhall kGems nursery and she absolutely loves it there. The staff are amazing and go above and beyond to make the children feel much loved and cared for. They use the app to keep parents notified of activities throughout the day including signing in, nappy changes /toilet visits,
activities etc. The level and quality of communication is excellent and, as a parent, I feel like I am very much part of the nursery day. The team are very quick to respond to queries and are always there to address any concerns. My daughter is currently doing potty training and the team have been most helpful with this challenge. They hold events throughout the year including sports day, graduation and even a mobile animal farm day. My daughter starts full time infants in September and kGems have been instrumental in preparing her for what lies ahead. I'm very grateful to the whole team and I will be sending my other daughter there too when she's old enough.

KGems Day Nursery at Clayhall Park was an amazing start in early education for my son. He attended for almost 2 years and enjoyed coming in to nursery every morning.
There's a lovely big garden for children to play and many fun activities thoughout the day.
We will really miss all the caring staff
that go way beyond to make our little ones happy. We are so thankful to all the staff that have been so caring, understanding and always tried to help my son with any struggles he had. It was lovely to see him develop and grow and make memories. Thank you everyone! Big thanks to one member of staff in particular.

KGems Day Nursery - Clayhall Park is a wonderful nursery to send your children. All 3 of my children attended the nursery from 2021-2024 and all 3 of them have loved their experience there! The staff are so attentive and nurturing and always make you and your child feel comfortable! The smallest things
are always the biggest things to them so you will never have to worry! They provide well-thought-out daily activities for all ages to take part in. The outdoor space for the children to burn off their energy is really large and also have a coach to keep those kids active taking part in sports! Snack and meal times are nutritious and also yummy! KGems Clayhall is a very safe and clean environment too. I really would recommend this nursery! I am really happy I chose KGems Clayhall for my children and it's been so lovely to get to know all the amazing staff over the years! To see the nursery grow over the years has been so heartwarming and I wish them many more successful happy years!

I love this place and so does my daughter. As a single parent, I deeply appreciate the staff being nice and caring, and the director of kGems really cares about the children and works with the parents. The facility is well thought of, room is big and the garden is huge. My daughter is happy and that
makes me a happy parent. The new manager is very friendly and the staff are polite.

My daughter has been attending KGems Clayhall for 2 years and has thrived in this setting. She has been looked after with utmost care and love with positive relationships. The communication through the app has helped be aware of events through her time there and though there is a large turnover in staff
she has adapted well. As a small setting, she mixes with all ages and that has suited her with a spacious outdoor area and range of food provided. I would highly recommend this setting for preschool.

Our twins have recently started kGems Day Nursery Clayhall Park and we are so pleased with how they are settling in. The staff are very caring and helpful and put us at ease straight away. We love receiving the photo updates of what our twins have been up to, and there is always so much variety with
different activities and themes. We also like seeing their daily reports showing what they've eaten, the food always sounds delicious! I would highly recommend kGems Nursery to other parents.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.867)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.867) out of 10 for kGems Day Nursery - Clayhall Park is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.867 for kGems Day Nursery - Clayhall Park is calculated as follows: ( (162 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.867

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for kGems Day Nursery - Clayhall Park is based on 15 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 20 number of registered child places is 4, which has been reached with 15 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.
