Clever Clogs Day Nursery

About Clever Clogs Day Nursery

Clever Clogs Day Nursery is a family-owned children's day nursery group in Durham, with a site at New Ferens Park in Belmont, close to the city centre, and a second at Bowburn. Both settings are rated Outstanding by Ofsted. Alongside full and part-time nursery places for babies and pre-schoolers, the nursery runs out-of-school care for school-age children up to the age of eleven, including before and after-school sessions and holiday fun clubs, with drop-off and collection arranged to and from local schools.

Older children have a quiet area for homework and time for games, arts and crafts and other activities, so the after-school hours are structured but relaxed. As a registered and inspected setting rather than a home childminder, it accepts government-funded early-years hours for eligible children alongside paid places and is registered for Tax-Free Childcare. Because places and funded-hour availability change through the year and popular settings can have waiting lists, it is best to contact the nursery directly to arrange a visit and check current availability.
