Our Garden

1/3-Acre Gardens & Our Mini-Forest

All rooms have their own designated garden β€” because we believe there's no such thing as inappropriate weather, just inappropriate clothing.

Our nursery in Welling is open all year round, caring for and educating children aged 3 months to rising 5. Children enjoy dedicated outdoor spaces, age-appropriate learning and the support of an experienced nursery team.

We understand the importance of positive role models and continuously strive to develop professionally, so every child in our care can reach their full potential.

Since opening, several of our team β€” including members who have studied at The Tavistock Institute β€” have achieved a Masters.

Our Promise

A Gentle, Child-Led Settling-In Process

We know how hard it can be to choose a nursery β€” 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.

Key Person Approach

Our Key Person Approach

Your child's key person is someone they can bond with β€” 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.

Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)

EYFS Learning at Clever Cloggs Nursery

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…
