I would highly recommend Clever Cloggs. My child attended on a full time basis. They offer a safe and calmed environment. Expectations and boundaries are clear and consistent for children. Staff are professional and they provide daily feedback to parents. We also enjoyed a few celebrations where family members are invited to join for a 'stay and play' with the children. For the first time since my child was born, it was a relief going to work knowing my child would be happy and rested.

My son started attending Clever Cloggs back in April 2022 and he really had a tough time adjusting to this change and the routine to come with it, especially after being in lockdown for so long. Despite his struggle with accepting the change, all the staff at Clever Cloggs were so supportive of not only my son, but myself too. They made me feel like I wasn’t going crazy with the worries I had for my son, they all made me feel validated and ‘normal’ for having these worries. Once my son had become used to the nursery/routine that followed, he absolutely loved attending and, even more so, loved the staff here. He has come on leaps and bounds since coming here and I was devastated when it came to an end for my son starting nursery within a school. He had learned so much and was so happy to show/tell me what he’d done. Without the help and support from your staff, he never would have been as comfortable as he is now to attend. I owe everything to Clever Cloggs and their amazing staff.

Clever Cloggs Nursery has been absolutely amazing! They have settled in my baby so well. He is very happy there and it’s very evident how much staff care about him. All the staff are very caring and loving towards my son. Every time I have had to request them to do certain things for my son, they take it on board so well and always deliver, i.e administer medication when he’s been unwell etc. Overall, I am very satisfied with the quality of my son's care.

I would highly recommend Clever Cloggs to any parent. My son has been in clever Cloggs for over 2 years now and I haven’t had one issue. He has come on leaps and bounds since being in nursery. The staff are always friendly and loving towards my son which was always so reassuring when I left him in their care. He was well fed and always happy to go in and when he came out of nursery too. I was gutted for him when he finished in July to go up to reception as I know he had enjoyed his time there with the staff and children. I will be recommending this to friends with young children. Thank you Clever Cloggs.

The worst nursery, do not send your child to this nursery! They run this nursery like a back street business, very unprofessional. when you sign your original contract with them it states that they are open until 6 pm only to be called from work that they are only open until 5 pm or 5:30 pm. My child recently attended this nursery and one day he was turned away, up until this day no one has contacted me about what happened or measures moving forward which includes my son's belongings to be returned including deposits and any outstanding fees. I have emailed them yet no one replies or tries to reach out, which shows how unbothered they are and confident in their unprofessional behaviour and attitude towards the children and parents at the nursery. My child no longer attends this nursery, I would not recommend this nursery to anyone, they are the worst I have ever seen. The manager makes up her own rules as she goes along, which are all illegal. This nursery traumatised my whole family.

The real deal - oodles of kindness and happiness here. Our son started in the baby class just before nine months and has flourished physically, emotionally, socially and mentally over the last six months. Primary 'Graduation day' parties, children's Christmas carols, best pumpkin competition, giant snail and fish pets, little vegetable garden. It's 'off the beaten path', at least until Custom House Crossrail arrives in 2021. However, upon touring the inside of the nursery I was delighted by the sense of authenticity and expertise and struck by the warm and caring atmosphere. We love the no-nonsense culture imbued by senior management (30+ years experience and passionate about childcare). NB; So much better than the corporate brands. Trialled two big, expensive and well-known chains. We found them to be pretentious and obsequious to parents, obsessed with constant online updates that force the staff to often ignore the children and sets a bad example for screentime.

I would not recommend this nursery to working parents. It is extremely inflexible with regards to their policies and I feel it is run as a formal business rather than a care provider for under 5s. Most of the staff are very negative and every afternoon when they answer the door they look fed up and give you a list of negative behaviours about your child. After half a term I have removed my child from this nursery for a variety of reasons: -punishing my child with food (not allowing her to have a Birthday cake because she was struggling with dinner) -short notice (one night before) to remind parents about nappies/wipes. And then happy to turn you away the next morning if you forget- surely there should be some reserves in place? After my son being in a loving full-time nursery for 5 years, it was clear how different this nursery was and I had to remove my child to give her the opportunity to get the same care he had.
