Our Garden

An all-in-one Nursery with secure 1/3 acre gardens and mini-forest 🌳🌲🌻

All rooms have their own designated garden — because we believe there's no such thing as inappropriate weather, just inappropriate clothing!

We are open all year round, caring for and educating children aged 3 months to rising 5. We understand the importance of positive role models and continuously strive to develop professionally, so the children in our care can reach their full potential. Since opening, several of our team — including members who have studied at The Tavistock Institute — have achieved a Masters.

Our Promise

We help every child reach their full potential 🎉🐣🌱

We know how hard it can be to choose a nursery — and how daunting it feels to leave your little one with people who, at first, are strangers. That's why our settling-in period is completely tailored to each child, giving them the time and space they need to feel safe and happy before the real fun begins.

With staff employed by the company collectively for 97 years, you can trust your child is in experienced, loving hands.

What Your Child Will Get Up To 👉

Key Person Approach

Every child has their own special key person ❤️😍🤗

Your child's key person is someone they can bond with — a trusted face who's there for the little moments and the big ones. Children thrive when their needs are met by special people they know, trust, and respect.

Foundation for Life

We prepare your child with a solid foundation for life 🚀🧠💡

At Clever Cloggs Nursery, your child will follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). At the heart of the EYFS is the idea that young children need to play in order to begin to learn and understand the world around them.

Here's a glimpse of what they'll be doing all day…

Partnership

Our partnership with parents 🤝👨‍👩‍👧‍👦👏

We genuinely value the partnership between parents, carers, and the nursery — and we do everything we can to strengthen it. Our open-door policy, two-way communication, and willingness to share advice as your child hits each milestone are at the core of how we work.

Tapestry

Tapestry — your child's digital journey 🧶

We use Tapestry, an online platform that gives you direct access to photographs, observations, and insights about your child's learning journey — so you never feel far from the action, even when you're at work.
