Our boys went to nursery at Clever Clogs and now they go to Fun club after school. We trust one staff member in particular and the team completely and that they have the boys best interests at heart. Our youngest son has his challenges and they have shown him nothing but patience and kindness.

Our daughter loves attending the nursery and always has a fun filled day whilst there. I believe her development and interpersonal skills have benefited tremendously from attending. Our daughter has allergies which need to be taken into consideration and this hasnt ever been an issue and always recwive a great varied diet (often eating items she wouldnt at home!). Staff are always very friendly and have a real connection with our daughter, which when choosing a nursery is ultimately what matters most, that those caring for your child truly care.

In the 3 years my child has attended the nursery I have found it to be a caring and welcoming place. Everyone from the manager to the cleaner always greets us with warmth. The staff go above and beyond every day to make my child feel secure as well as providing her with fun and enriching activities. My child has some additional needs and the staff are considerate, caring and supportive of this. They go out of their way to try new things to support her and always have an open door to any concerns I have as a parent. The SENCo takes time to meet with me if there is something I need to discuss and offers advice. Knowing my daughter is well cared for and having fun makes leaving her so much easier and I will be sad when we have to leave the warmth and comfort of Clever Clogs for "Big School" later this year.

My son has started at Clever Clogs Bowburn today (18th March) and he had his settling in days the week prior. I have visited the nursery numerous of times now and I have been nothing but impressed. From the second I walked in, I found the nursery to be welcoming and have a good understanding to my questions no matter how silly they might of sounded. My son is in Tiny Miracles and the nursery practitioners who are based in the room have been amazing, they have comforted my son to ensure he settles in. I have no concerns for his wellbeing here. The updates and photos throughout the day via the app helps me knowing he is okay, what time he had a nappy change, what time he had a nap etc. I find it reassuring how access to the nursery is face identification and if someone else was to collect him it is a password that I make up. So far Clever Clogs has been nothing but outstanding and I look forward to seeing how my son's development comes on throughout his time here.

An amazing set up providing amazing care! Every member of staff is very friendly and genuine, and my little boy has really flourished since being here. Staff have been brilliant managing my son's allergies and catering specifically for his needs. Thank you!!

My little girl started the nursery when she was 16 months old and I have nothing but good things to say! They have made the transition for leaving her in the hands of others amazing and my little girl absolutely loves the nursery and staff aswell as developing so much socially and academically.

Fantastic service and the most loveable teachers. My baby girl cannot wait to spend time at nursery, she gets load of attention/cuddles and loves the interaction. Very fun activities and lovely learning experiences shared on a regular. I appreciate the caring nature and kindness amongst the teachers and children. My baby girl is thriving, thank you.

The nursery has supported my daughter since she was one years old, she is now almost four. The staff are amazing and provide impeccable care for the children. My daughter has been identified with specialist needs over the years, and the nursery have been a key part in supporting her and our family with this. They have put excellent care in place to ensure her needs are met, we have multiple meetings a year to assess her progress and SEND plans. I feel at ease when taking my daughter to nursery knowing she is looked after, and her needs are being met. We are forever grateful as a family for all of the staff and managers at Clever Cloggs Bowburn for everything they have done and do on a daily basis for our child, and many others. The facilities are fabulous, great food choices, excellent play areas for the children, and an app which keeps us updated throughout the day of how our daughter is getting on. We receive lovely photos updating us also which is a wonderful touch.

Both of my children have attended Clever Clogs nursery and I highly recommend the nursery. My children are 4 and 2 and have both attended since they were 9 months old. They have both thrived at the nursery, staff are accommodating and always there to listen to any concerns. Management have an open door policy and are happy to talk and resolve any issues as quickly as possible. You are always met with a smile from all the friendly staff. My girls run into nursery excited for the day. I highly recommend Clever Clogs for the amazing staff and care that's given to my children.

Always so welcoming for my little boy. love the detail in the updates throughout the day! My boy always comes out with a smile and the ladies always have very personable and detailed handovers on pick ups.

Our daughter has been attending Clever Clogs since September 2024 and we can honestly say, she has loved every second! We feel confident in leaving her as she runs in on a morning with a smile on her face and rarely turns around to say goodbye. They have always gone above and beyond with their care, daily activities and giving frequent updates throughout the day on the app. Our daughter has formed relationships with the staff members in her room as she comes home to tell us that they're her "best friends". When picking her up at the end of the day, the staff can't tell you enough about how her day has been, what she has eaten and any activities she has been doing. Our daughter's speech and confidence has come on leaps and bounds since starting at Clever Clogs and we can't thank the staff enough!

Since my great grandaughter started the nursery her confidence has improved massively, she loves going and enjoys all the activities, the staff and management are extremely friendly and approachable, I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Cleverclogs to my friends.

My little girl has been attending Clever Clogs since September 2022 and honestly we would not go to any other nursery. In all her time here we have never had any problems, she loves going to nursery and whenever we pick her up she always has the biggest smile on her face! The ladies that work here are amazing always so helpful and kind, nothing is ever too much. As a parent knowing your child is safe and happy whilst you are not with them is something you cannot put a price on and this is definitely how we feel about Clever Clogs!

Both my children attend Clever Clogs nursery. The staff have been amazing in all the rooms they have been in right from the baby room up to pre school. My children are thriving and have shown so much progression over the years. It is easy to communicate with the nursery using the family app and they reply straight away. It is apparent that the staff love working with the children and take time to really get to know them. Both my children skip into nursery and it's lovely to see and reassuring for me.

Brilliant nursery that truly cares about your child and will do everything they can to help. Our son gets very excited when we arrive and is happy to see the staff, they made him very welcome from the start and are really good at encouraging development.

Our little girl has been attending CC since she was 9 months old. The staff are so welcoming, understanding and helpful. She has progressed so much in her time so far here and forged strong attachments with members of staff. I love to see her pictures online and on the app of all the fun and activities they get up to. They helped us so much on her weaning journey too as they offer a wide range of healthy nutritious foods. Thankyou CC!

The nursery is truly amazing. My daughter started in September and absolutely loves it. The staff are amazing and friendly, full of smiles and obvious they care about what they do. The communication between the nursery and parents are amazing and they don't hesitate to contact when necessary. My daughter has grown more confidence walking recently but still getting to grips with it so has fallen as all children do at some point and they always made sure to call to give us an update as well as putting it on the app but they never want you to worry so take that extra time to make sure you know. They have stay and plays where parents can bring and see their children in the setting. Truly a lovely experience. They provide meals that my daughter enjoys. I cannot get her to eat some foods for the life of me but she seems to thoroughly enjoy them. Overall amazing experience and she has come on leaps and bounds since starting. Cannot thank the staff enough for their hard work.

Literally every aspect of Clever Clogs is brilliant! All the staff are so lovely and helpful when initially enrolling my son I had no idea what I was doing but I was supported every step of the way. He has been attending since he was 9 months old and I couldn't imagine sending him anywhere else! He always comes home very happy and well cared for. The meals that are provided are always top quality healthy dishes which is great. He does so many activities and has regular outdoor time and all the staff genuinely seems to care about all the kids! The app is also great to see what he's eaten and how much and if he's hitting his little milestones due to the staff uploading snapshots of his progress and activities whilst in their car! If I could give 10 stars I would!!

Both my sons have attended Clever Clogs. The team put considerable work into structuring an enriching environment for the children. Our youngest still attends and engages in an array of educational activities on a daily basis, helping to develop his cognitive, social, gross and fine motor skills. Staff are friendly and professional and I have no hesitance leaving my children in their safe care.

I couldn't rate Clever Cloggs highly enough. My son has been attending since he was 4 months old and throughout every stage, the staff have been fantastic. I was extremely worried sending him in from such a young age but I had nothing to worry about! He is now 2 and a half and thriving. The girls have been extremely caring throughout every room and have always been there to help with any concerns I have too. I'm kept updated frequently through the app and they undertake a wide variety of activities which he loves. I'd recommend Clever Cloggs to anyone looking for a nursery in the area.
