‘My son really enjoys going to Clever Clogs and is happy being dropped off. Staff are friendly and approachable as are the management team. Staff give an accurate and efficient handover. My child is happy and content in the care of staff who are great will all the children in my experience’
‘My child loves the nursery so much and all the staff are fantastic. The office and management team are great and you can phone them for anything. They always go the extra mile. My child particularly enjoys going on local visits to the care home, she loves interacting with the elderly and doing different activities with them. She still goes on about a visit when they planted plants into wellie boots in the care home garden. An absolutely fantastic nursery, my child would go seven days a week if she could’

'My little girl loves coming to the nursery. She is always happy when I come to collect her and the staff are always there to tell me how her day has been. I am particularly impressed that she can talk about what she has been learning. I also love the regular emails which keep me up to date.'
'Clever Clogs has been the closest thing to a second home for both my children. They have been like family. They always keep me informed of my child's progress. They have so many activities on offer, including Eco groups and activities for parents to get involved in - but they don't make you feel guilty if you are working and can't go. My child is always smiling when I pick him up. He is also filthy from being outside, again I love this as he has had fun. The staff are friendly, kind, well-organised and have helped me to get my child to eat more.
Clever Clogs is an excellent nursery. The management and communication is of a very high standard. Both our children have benifited greatly from their time there.
