August 8, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son has been at this nursery for over three years. I have seen true care for the children in each class and at every stage. All staff are helpful and friendly and always helping and guiding the children. The things my son has learnt is truly exceptional and the effort they go to is very inspiring. I love that the children spend a lot of time out door and do a variety of sports. The manager is so approachable and nothing is too much trouble even when she must be juggling so many things.
I will be sad when he goes to school in September but they have definitely got him ready.

November 7, 2022 at 12:00 amFantastic nursery, all the staff are very caring and supportive. Our child loves going and telling us what he has been up to!
He loves the sports and craft activities that are put on and you can tell a lot of thought and planning goes into the days.

November 10, 2022 at 12:00 amBoth of my sons started Clifton Lodge Nursery in May 2022, they settled in so well and that was down to the care and support of all the staff, in particular those in the baby room. The boys have thrived ever since starting Clifton Lodge and we noticed this right from the first week. Every day new activities are set out for them to explore and learn. The staff in the baby room are so caring of every single child and that is evident when you see the bond they have created with each on pick up and drop off. The manager is very approachable and always happy to help me bring the boys in every morning. I look forward to continuing our progress within Clifton Lodge as the boys grow up, although I will be sad when they leave the baby room!

November 10, 2022 at 12:00 amTwo of my children have attended the nursery. My youngest recently left in August to start school.
The staff and management team are wonderful. They provide holistic care in a fab environment. My little one really loves sports and the activities they provide are second to none.
The updates the nursery provide are really comprehensive and great you can see what your little one has been up to, and not forgetting delicious and nutritious food. This nursery provided everything my little one needed to thrive and grow. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

November 10, 2022 at 12:00 amBeing new to the area, my toddler and baby both started Clifton Lodge two months ago and it is a gorgeous setting, with lovely facilities and a great outdoor space for the children to learn and explore!
Above all, the staff have already been so attentive and caring, as well as providing regular updates to me through the parent app to put my mind at ease throughout the day. The baby room is so welcoming and cosy, and the leader and staff give off such warm, nurturing vibes, that I feel much less guilty when leaving my baby, knowing she is in great care.
I would happily recommend this nursery to others, as my two clingy children have settled here so well and as a mum, I feel really well-informed because of the daily updates.
A gorgeous place, with superb, caring staff!

November 11, 2022 at 12:00 amI have two children here one in preschool and one in the baby room. We have been very happy with all staff at Clifton Lodge. The manager is easily approachable and has always been very helpful. The staff have been very welcoming and helpful. The app is updated regularly and the staff always give thorough feedback at the end of each day. It is clear that the children are the centre of everything. Preschool has brought my son on leaps and bounds, he has learnt so much in a short space of time, a lot of which we are able to use/implement at home. The baby room is such a warm lovely room. Our daughter is very happy here she loves the staff and has formed great bonds with them. We have been extremely impressed with the amount of time the children spend outdoors, doing sports activities and taking trips out. There is obviously a lot of thought, time and effort that goes into each day. We wouldn’t want our children anywhere else. Highly recommended!

November 11, 2022 at 12:00 amCannot recommend or praise this nursery and the staff enough. Our boy has been there a year now, starting at 11 months, and he absolutely loves it. All of the staff are super friendly and personable, which shows in his fondness for each of them. Even the manager knows each child by name and is so hands-on. Our son has come on leaps and bounds with his development. The meals are always great and they do so many fantastic activities which they post on the parent app which I love. It’s super clean, I have no idea how they keep it so clean! Over all fantastic nursery, already recommended to friends whose children now attend also.

November 11, 2022 at 12:00 amOur little boy initially struggled with drop offs and the adjustment of attending nursery. The staff in the baby room have been so patient with him and we are so grateful for their care of him. Now he loves attending nursery and is coming on so much – we receive pictures and updates frequently throughout the day so we know what he has been getting up to and he always looks like he is having so much fun.

November 22, 2022 at 12:00 amBoth my children are at Clifton Lodge. It really feels like they are part of a family. The staff are fantastic. They show real empathy and care for them at all times, as well as making their days fun and engaging. My kids are treated as individuals and their quirks and phases are handled brilliantly. I feel comfortable leaving them, and that is in no small part due to the great introduction they have in the baby room which is continued at each stage of their progression.

November 24, 2022 at 12:00 amMy little boy has recently moved here for his own benefit and it was the best thing for him. He loves nursery, he loves playing in the garden during drop off and collection. I’m particularly impressed with the sports activities the nursery does, as well as all the activities during the day. The variety of food they provide to the children is fantastic and also how good their communication is on the app. It’s nice to know when you’re working long periods your child is happy, safe and having fun.

November 28, 2022 at 12:00 amClifton Lodge is a fantastic nursery. Our son has moved through 3 rooms now from babies to lower preschool and the staff in each room have been brilliant. They are all so caring and our son thoroughly enjoys his time at nursery. We couldn’t be happier. Thank you to everyone at Clifton Lodge.

November 28, 2022 at 12:00 amI have two children at Clifton Lodge and the whole family is extremely happy with the nursery!
The baby room was such a warm, loving home from home for my youngest when he started at 11 months. The rest of the team are so caring and do everything possible to make the children feel safe and happy. He is now really enjoying being in the toddler room and thriving with all his little friends.
My oldest is now in preschool and loves it. All the activities, including sport and fitness, are brilliant and he is so happy and engaged. All the staff are brilliant, my son loves all the creepy crawlies that staff bring in and I am really pleased that he has male role models in nursery to look up to.
My only issue with the nursery is that the bills are sometimes wrong and hard to understand.
Overall though I am very happy and think the quality of care is great!

November 28, 2022 at 12:00 amI have had one daughter go through every room at this nursery between 2017-2021 and my second has attended from 10 months old and is now 2. The outstanding staff here make this nursery a really lovely place, they are really good at keeping staff and many have been here for years. There are also a number of male carers which you don’t get at a lot of nurseries – it definitely provides a really nice balance to really nurture little ones in different ways. There are frequent trips out, evening events and involvement with local community club days etc. There wasn’t much noticeable change when the nursery was taken over by Kids Planet, the same great manager and team all continued to do what they are great at! I couldn’t ask for anything else from a nursery for my girls. I wholeheartedly recommend them. Thanks, everyone, 5 stars from me!

November 28, 2022 at 12:00 amMy little boy attends Clifton Lodge, he has been going for nearly a year now and I can not fault anything about the nursery.
All of the staff are simply amazing! They really take the time to get to know all of the children and my little boy has made amazing bonds with not just his fantastic key worker but also every other member of staff.
He’s happy to run into nursery each morning as his days are full of learning, developing his skills and plenty of trips outdoors to the local areas.
The daily updates via the app are full of information and pictures which put me at ease and seeing my little boy so happy and thriving reassures me that I made the right choice in sending him to Clifton Lodge.

November 28, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter really enjoys going to nursery and when I go to pick her up, she’s always keen to stay, which tells me she thoroughly enjoys herself. The staff are very friendly and informative and the nursery is always clean and the ambience is very calm, too. I love how the nursery is set out and the sensory room is amazing! My daughter also has a plant-based diet and the nursery chef always makes lovely food daily, to meet her dietary requirements. I would highly recommend the nursery, as I don’t have any worries at all.
I have a great rapport with all the management and the girls that look after my daughter.
