Caring and supportive!

“My little girl has been coming to Cleverclogs Day Nursery since October last year and I can not recommend them enough. The Hedgehog team are fantastic and my little girl has such a good relationship with the team, especially one member of staff who I’m very fond of myself, she is such a lovely lady to chat too and is so reassuring. She is an asset to the team. I also find all the staff so friendly and helpful, they honestly all go above and beyond to help my little girl have such a lovely time at nursery. 10/10 Cleverclogs, I know full well my little girl has many more happy years at your nursery ahead of her.”

“My son definitely enjoys going to this nursery. This nursery has friendly staff, caters to your babies' needs and answer any questions I throw at them. I couldn't thank them enough for my mornings off and look forward to my son's hours going up in the future.”

“My son started nursery here only seven months ago and joined the toddler group, we moved to the area and needed to find a nursery and Cleverclogs Day Nursery seemed the best fit. Best decision ever, the first day my son started he absolutely loved it! He bounces into nursery every morning and most days does not want to leave! He's made some great friends and is always talking about them! The staff are amazing and really go the extra mile and since going his speech has improved and his learning is coming on so well. The outdoor area is great and they always do lots of activities. I can go to work and know my son is having the best day!”

“I've been using Cleverclogs Day Nursery since my 5-year-old was 9 months, he is now at school and has taken to it brilliantly thanks to all the preparation at Cleverclogs. My daughter just turned 3 and loves being in the pre-school room. Since the start, the care both kids have received at Cleverclogs has been so personal. The staff take such a genuine interest in your child's needs, interests and personality and you really feel they care just as much as you do about their happiness. They put so much effort into all the activities they do with the kids, my daughter tries something new every day and school have said my son has an amazing understanding of the world around him which I think is thanks to how fun Cleverclogs have made learning for him. Both kids eat really well at Cleverclogs including vegetables they won't touch at home and we had great support for potty training. The whole team are really happy, caring and most of all fun.”

“I couldn’t be happier with our choice of nursery in Cleverclogs Day Nursery, Cringleford. My son has been there since he was 1 and has been in both the baby and toddler room. The activities they do with the children are so imaginative and I love the emphasis on outdoor play. The staff are all very caring and attentive and we have been very happy with our son's key person in each room. The contact via the app always provides details of daily activities and lots of lovely photos!”

“I cannot recommend this nursery enough. As a parent of a child with additional medical needs, the care our child received at this nursery was amazing. The staff are lovely and have great bonds with the children. My daughter loved it here as did we. She would always come home with lots to tell about her day. She never wanted to leave. Now she has moved to school she is always asking when she can go back. Thank you Cleverclogs Day Nursery team.”

Philosophy

Our philosophy is to provide a home away from home environment, where children within our care are happy, safe and relaxed, ready to engage with their peers.

We provide an enriched learning environment to help children learn and develop. We understand that parents are their child’s first educators and are crucial to children’s learning and development and as such, we value and encourage your input and strive to maintain a positive relationship.

CleverClogs
Values

Our aim is to provide you and your child with:

The best staff – A qualified, dedicated and enthusiastic team, who are continuously training, and are recruited for their empathy towards and understanding of children. Our aim is to provide for your children as we would our own, providing them with the best possible start to their learning.

The best environment – Allowing freedom to develop and structure for guidance, “grownups” for security and playmates for belonging. And, of course, a continually renewed range of educational toys and activities aimed at providing fun, stimulation and a sense of achievement, whilst maintaining that home from home environment.

The best nutrition – Freshly prepared meals made by our on site cook using fresh products with varied menus catering for all dietary needs.

The best partnership – With whom to entrust the care of a child –one which recognises the primary role of the parent in childcare and is privileged to be chosen as the day carer, who realises the importance of two way communication and values parental input and view.
