About St Clements Pre School & Nursery

Supporting children to learn, play and thrive in a calm and inclusive environment.

St Clements Pre School & Nursery is a welcoming early years setting dedicated to high quality care and education. We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage, offering a balance of structured activities and child led play that supports social, emotional, physical and cognitive development.

Our approach is centred on building strong relationships with children and parents. We believe children learn best when they feel safe and supported, and our team takes pride in creating a calm, inclusive environment where every child can flourish at their own pace.

Flexible funded sessions to suit your family

Early education funded sessions

We offer Early Education funded places for eligible one, two, three and four year olds, with options for 15 or 30 funded hours. Funded sessions are available in a range of morning, afternoon and full day patterns, allowing families to choose what works best for their child and their routine.

Early Education funding covers the cost of care and education. A voluntary service charge applies to cover food and drinks provided during sessions, such as breakfast, snacks and tea. Additional hours may be purchased subject to availability, with hourly rates varying by age. Families may also be eligible for further help with childcare costs through schemes such as Tax Free Childcare or Universal Credit.

Testimonials

We recommend St Clements to everyone we know! A couple people we know have secured a place at St Clements themselves. Goes to show other people love it as much as we do! 

My eldest went through St Clements and she loved it so much, the team are all caring, kind and adaptable. She still speaks about her time at nursery and she is now 7! Soon as I found out I was expecting my 2nd child, I knew st Clements was the place for him and enrolled him as soon as I could. Since then they opened the toddler room and I just knew I needed to bring his start date forward. St Clements team were super efficient with doing his health, care and support plans, and sorting everything out for him. He is supported more than I could of ever imagined in every aspect! I feel he has made strong relationships with the staff, which has ensured he has settled really well. Which is a huge relief for me, especially when I can see his growth and development, socially, emotionally, physically and educationally. 

So, the biggest thankyou to all of the st Clements team!

I am very proud to say that St. Clements Nursery is a wonderful place for children. Thank you for being such wonderful teachers to my 2 boys over the years. I truly appreciate the time you all take on making sure all the kids are on the right level with all your support. It was not just for the kids but for me as well, when I was going through the roughest time of my life they were all here for me, and I can not thank you all enough for your support mentally and physically. This is a big thank you from me, and my wife as well. Tobby and Timmy love going to nursery there they have so many activities and so much fun learning. Bless you all in Jesus Mighty Name.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the staff at St Clement Nursery. My experience with the nursery has been truly wonderful, and I cannot thank the team enough for the care, dedication and support they have given to my children. When my first son arrived from Portugal, he did not speak any English. The staff were incredibly patient and supportive, helping him develop his language skills and confidence. Thanks to their guidance and encouragement, he adapted quickly and made great progress. With my second son, I also received amazing support from the nursery team. They have always been attentive, helping him develop his skills while making sure he feels happy and comfortable in the nursery environment. Now my third son has start at St Clement Nursery and I feel very grateful to know that he is in such a caring and capable hands. The staff and the managers have always been supportive, kind and professional and they truly care about the children and their development. Thank you for everything you have done for my family. Your support, patience and dedication have made a real difference in my children’s lives.

My daughter has been going to st Clements nursery since September and she’s learnt so much since starting she loves being here and has settled in well and Elaine the manager is lovely she’s always very helpful and has great advice as well as Amaya’s key worker Sharon. I keep them updated on my daughters speech and language so they can give her the right care plan to help her progress. I feel very comfortable sending my daughter here and my son will be coming here too I can’t recommend them enough

J Lopes

Both my son and daughter started in the toddler room. As a first time mother I was beyond nervous. The staff have been amazing not only for my children but for me. The updates daily the reassurance and support. My son when started was expected to be mildly delayed and had some extra care needed. From the word go he has been supported had a care plan set and ready and has come on leaps. Both my children also have hot lunch’s that always sound incredible. I could not recommend the toddler room and all the staff enough.
