Review from Paola S (Grandmother of Child) published on 11 June 2019 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Two of my grandchildren attended this nursery over a 4 year period. They thrived and developed into wonderful happy and articulate children. The staff are brilliant at preparing the children for primary school and very kind, helpful and caring staff!

A wonderful environment for early learning in the city of London!

Review from Agata L (Mother of Child) published on 11 June 2019 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My 11-month-old daughter started nursery, in a baby room, in May.
At first, I was terrified I would not be with my little girl and nobody would understand her as I do.
Thanks to the calmness of the staff, settling-in went very smooth for me also. Day by day, I'm witnessing how my girl is opening to other people and is building an amazing relationship with her key-worker. I see how she enjoys playing with staff and has started to interact with other children too. All the ladies there tirelessly answered millions of my questions and another million phone calls.

Personally, I think it was the best decision for her development.

Smithfield Nursery has an excellent location if you live or work in City. It has very nice, colourful interiors, much more attractive for children than other nurseries we visited.
