Young and Smart Nursery looks to support children on a learning journey that starts at baby age, through to toddler and pre-school, with age specific resources and a professional team in place to help them become interested and independent learners. The curriculum includes a balance of child-initiated and adult-planned learning, while there is also a focus on positive behaviour, social skills and communication.

The team has been carefully put together according to qualifications, enthusiasm and commitment, with a vision to help children become self-confident and develop at their own pace. There is an open door policy in place for parents, although staff maintain a strict security system and are also trained in health and safety.

Review from B Y (Mother of Child) published on 11 September 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Son joined when he was a year old and, with the exception of a few months when Covid hit and we needed to adjust, he was there full time until he left to join a school for reception.
Overall, the nursery is good, providing good quality of care, stimulation, learning, social skills development and varied
and nutritious meals. Care for babies and stimulation was really good, with so many activities and pictures. During toddler and preschool years, there were a few gaps which the nursery were able to work with me to address and it is that willingness that is crucial.
It is clear that the nursery works really hard to provide the right balance for kids in their care and, as a parent, you need to be pragmatic as to what a young child needs. I think for actual delivery rather than just bells and whistles this nursery is really good. My son was happy here, made good friends, learnt a lot (not always at the stage I expected it, but still) and he will miss it very much when he leaves in a two weeks.

Young and Smart Nursery is exceptional and accommodating. Staff are very enthusiastic about my child's development. Very open communication and feedback given about any issues. I absolutely love their attention to detail and varied activities to engage the children in play.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Absolutely wonderful staff who are all caring, nurturing, welcoming friendly and educating (the positive list goes on and on!) for all children. I could not be happier that my two youngest children attend Young and Smart Nursery. My child had dramatically developed and improved with speech, language,
communication, bonding/relationships/friendships and I am incredibly grateful for the nursery assistance in this as we have been doing this at home daily. The consistency from home to nursery is similar and has encouraged my child to develop even further with number skills and letters. I can not thank them all enough. My child is starting school this year and it is very emotional for me as the journey for him will end at the end of August with Young and Smart Nursery but our relationship will continue as my youngest will still be attending.

Excellent Nursery. My girl learned the alphabet, numbers and to speak correctly. They supported her learning process and she grew up seeing notable changes.

I have seen a great improvement in my child's communication and social skills. My child comes home with a new word almost every day. My child always has a good time and can't wait to go to nursery every morning. The staff are really attentive and knowledgeable and we can really see that all staff regardless
of their department really care for all the children.

My son is always happy attending the nursery. He has learned so much from his wonderful teachers. He has made loads of friends and at the end of the day I always pick him up with a big smile on his face and he can't stop talking about how amazing his day was at the nursery. Many thanks from the heart
for all of your hard work, love and dedication. I am beyond grateful.

I like because it is very convenient for me and my wife. They are not too bad. Can be much better with more equipment to teach the children and maybe with more teachers as well.

My daughter has loved it here and I am very happy that she got a place at Young and Smart Nursery. Her speech, number skills, writing skills and social interactions have all improved at a very good rate and she is doing well here.
The best thing that stands out for me is that the staff genuinely look
happy to be working with the children and treat them like their own. A very home from home atmosphere. All staff are friendly and helpful.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter enjoys learning with her friends and teachers. My daughter has lots of friends since starting Young and Smart. She has learnt a lot. She is much brighter, smarter, she talks more clearly, says her words better. Young and Smart is very professional, great with staff that care and love the
children as their own child and the staff and management make learning fun for the kids.
Even myself as a parent, I am very happy. What a caring, supporting and lovely nursery. The best.

My daughter has been at Young and Smart Nursery for months now. She has cognitively developed and now able to play with diverse educational resources i.e toys, building blocks, balls etc. My daughter has excelled in many ways during her time at Young and Smart Nursery.
The staff are all very friendly,
professional and caring as well as very communicative. The nursery is well resourced and has good facilities for learning. Last, but not least, it provides good food and drink.

My daughter has been at Young and Smart Nursery for 3 years and 6 months and she enjoys coming to school so much that when she comes, she forgets to say bye. She also loves the time she spends there because she wants to stay more.
On the overall, I love the staff that are so kind and supportive, also
really caring. I would really recommend this nursery.

I have got my twin children in Young and Smart Nursery for almost two years now. They have been very happy attending this particular nursery and enjoying every activity taking place in the setting.
The staff are so caring that my children never want to miss nursery. They have learnt a lot of things
from the staff such as colours, numbers and letters. I would recommend this nursery.

My son has been at Young and Smart Nursery for over two years and son loves it here. The staff are well documented about their roles and it has been a joy to see my son's improvement on day to day activities.
The staff are a great example for other nurseries to follow and move over. The facilities
are top of the class, including the catering service that provides the food. I would highly recommend this nursery school.

I like that every day they tell me how my daughter's day has been. I like that they have Spanish classes once a week and the singing class.
The staff are very friendly. I'm happy because my daughter is happy to come. But I didn't like it when the nursery closed because of the snowfall and they didn't
tell me in time.
