For many parents who had babies during one of the Covid-19 pandemic lockdowns, choosing a nursery for their children was a daunting experience, but in Nicole Johnston’s case she already had the perfect referral.

That’s because Nicole’s daughter Lily attended Clever Clogs Bowburn so when she had her second child Lachlan during the pandemic, she had no hesitation in registering him at the nursery.

Nicole explains: “I needed childcare for Lachlan when I had to go back to work and despite having several closer day nurseries I opted for Clever Clogs as my daughter went here a couple of years prior, so I knew how good it was.

“Adding Covid worries on top of the stress of returning to work meant I was extra nervous, but I knew my son would be in the best care here!

“The staff are so lovely and caring, (with both the kids and the grown-ups!). Every day the children take part in educational and fun activities, and they sometimes do themed weeks/dress up days which is adorable!

“They always tell you exactly what your little one has been up to all day, from nappy changes and sleep, to what they’ve played with and how much they have eaten. Plus, their menu is so varied with nutritious food which all sounds so delicious!

“I love this nursery and would recommend it to any working parent.

“Thank you Clever Clogs for taking such good care of my babies!”
