I have four children, 3 of which have now been through the setting and in full time school now, 1 remaining. It is a wonderful setting with kind, caring and engaging staff. There are a handful of staff that have been working at the setting for years, who play a fundamental role in ensuring the consistency of the nursery and in training newer members of the team. In all the years I have been sending my children here I have never had any concerns for their wellbeing, happiness or safety. They have always strolled in, smile on their face eager to start their day. The nursery are great at including parents on what is happening and they have regular meetings and end of year events which are always very quaint and wholesome. I will be truly sad when my youngest leaves to go to school, it has been a wonderful partnership. Send your children here if you have them, you will not regret it .

My daughter has been attending for two years and she absolutely loves it. She is always received at the nursery with a warm smile and is happy when I pick her up. She loves the staff and is constantly talking about the lovely things she has been doing at nursery such as the daily circle times and crafts. I love the homely feel to the nursery which makes my daughter feel very comfortable and relaxed to explore and learn. The food at the nursery is also great-freshly prepared healthy and tasty meals daily which are approved by my fussy toddler.

Both our daughters Vrishahi and Avartana started nursery at Clementswood when we moved here. Being new to the country I was very skeptical about choosing a nursery. My first visit with the girls gave me so much confidence that this is the place they would love to stay a whole day away from home. My elder one was even crying to go back home from the nursery on the very first visit. Raj briefed me about the whole process they follow and was very friendly in allowing our time to make the decision. All the teachers are very well trained and they take very good care of the children. Majida and Mandy made great efforts to settle our younger one since she was just completing one when she started. They made the settling so smooth for both of us. A big thanks to Nadia, Sweety, Anushree, Aeysha and Mariam for making our girls stay everyday a pleasant one. I would highly recommend this place.

I was so anxious to place my daughter in nursery but have been so blessed to find Clementswood. The staff are all amazing - kind, caring and compassionate and my daughter has settled in so well. My daughter is thriving and happy there and we know she is being taken care of every day. We feel the staff really care about her well-being and development, and always keep us well informed of her day-to-day. Thank you Clementswood for providing a safe and caring environment for our daughter.
