Clarence House Cambridge

I have had children at Clarence House Day Nursery in Cambridge for the past six years. My oldest son was there from 9 months until the day he started school and my youngest is now in the baby room. The staff at Clarence House have always been really caring and attentive to the children. As with all nurseries, the staff have changed over the years but the management has always been stable and exemplary. I think it says volumes about the nursery that all managers in the past six years (of which there have only been three) have only left as they have been promoted within the organisation. Promotions that have been richly deserved. I would hand on heart recommend Clarence House to look after your children. They are also very flexible which I know isn’t always the case with nurseries. We have no family nearby to help if one of us is ill or has a sudden work commitment change and the nursery have regularly got me out of a childcare hole over the years. Can you tell I love the nursery?

We are the parents of two children visiting Cambridge for two months. During the period, Clarence House helped us take care of our two kiddos. Frankly, we were a bit worried before the journey. It was the first time for the kiddos being in a different country for an extended period of time, and there were so many things we didn’t know about.
The Clarence House completely removed our concern. The team has been absolutely fantastic! All the teachers are so great: they are all very gentle, cheerful, considerate and helpful. They helped both kids blend in and adjust to the new environment very quickly. They soon get to know and play with new friends. During our stay, we noticed that the teachers can come up with new activities all the time, and the kiddos very much enjoyed them! The older one came back home singing the songs she learned from the daycare. At our departure, the older one explicitly asked a couple of times if we can stay longer! Thank you so much! We will all miss you!

My son’s current nursery closed suddenly in Dec 2021 so I had to quickly find another setting to attend. Many nurseries took days/weeks to respond to my queries or had unrealistic conditions to meet to obtain the full benefit of 30 hour funding. Clarence House Nursery got back to me straight away and we were able to view the nursery with an hour’s notice and start the enrolment process. The communication has remained brilliant – responses to emails are always prompt and handovers on pick up very informative. My son is always well cared for and really enjoys his 3 days a week at Clarence House and they do many varied activities, which they take lots of pictures and observations and upload them to tapestry regularly. Despite a Cambridge day nursery, their prices are very competitive, with good quality and varied food included in the price. The staff know the children and their individual needs well. I have and would recommend Clarence House to anybody looking for a nursery setting for their children.

My kid goes to the nursery and it’s been six months. This is my kid’s first nursery and the staff at the nursery helped him to settle down. I really love the care they are showing towards the kids. Activities they are making with kids are really to be appreciated. My kid also has improved his communication and really likes all the staff over there. Food wise is also very good. Staff are really taking care regarding the health of the kids also. Finally, I am really impressed with the nursery and the efforts they are making is also to be appreciated.

My son is super happy at Clarence House, he comes out smiling every day. At home he constantly talks about the staff and since joining the toddler room his speech has really developed. He also eats really well and enjoys all the outdoor time they offer. Communication from all the staff and management has been great. Couldn’t ask for more!

Our youngest goes to this nursery four days a week like her brother did. She loves it there, bonded with the girls and has great fun playing with the other children but has also learnt a lot of skills. She is especially fond of the mud kitchen!

Clarence House day nursery is a trustworthy nursery. They are taking good care of my child. I never experienced any kind of difficulty dealing with the nursery staff. The key person of the child would update you about your child’s activity and about their food in intake daily. The girls/staff there are really good and my child likes his key person. They often conduct parent-key person meetings which I find is useful to track my child’s behaviour/ development etc outside home. I would surely recommend this nursery.

I’m not great at writing reviews, but this nursery is amazing. It has a really homely feel and is like one big family. I feel like the staff really know and care for my daughter well and she loves it there. She claps her hands with excitement when she’s leaving for nursery and she cries when she has to come home, which is slightly upsetting for me, but very reassuring at the same time. The manager is great and keeps us all in the loop with regular email updates. It’s never too much trouble to respond to any query or awkward request I have. The girls that have looked after my daughter are all lovely as well. I feel completely at ease leaving her with them. They try to go outside in the garden at least once or twice a day and do lots of fun activities and crafts with the children, which help with their development. They give great feedback at the end of the day as well, which is always appreciated. I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

Lovely caring nursery. My daughter had to move nurseries due to a move of area and loved her old nursery. They have made her feel so welcome and she always comes home with a smile.
The staff always inform of how the day has been and are very friendly.

My son started at the nursery in September and with a lot of change at home going on at the time. The staff were all amazing with him helping him settle into nursery and encouraging him to make friends. He fully enjoys nursery and tells me all about his day with a smile on his face. We’re kept fully informed about his day on pickup and the communication with emails of what’s going on at the setting is very consistent.
