A very warm welcoming environment. My kids are absolutely thriving here at Little Smarties Nursery. Such wonderful, lovely staff & great quality care provided. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking to start their little one's journey at nursery.
Daughter has been at this nursery for over 2 years now and my son has just started. Everyone is so lovely and accommodating. I am at ease knowing my children are looked after with such love and care at the nursery and could not recommend it highly enough.
The creativity and effort they put into the children's experiences is amazing. One of the most memorable moments was when they "took the children to the zoo" using teddies and little cages-it was such a thoughtful and imaginative idea, and they made it truly magical for the kids.
It's a lovely, nurturing environment, and we feel so grateful that it's such an important and positive part of our son's life. We couldn't recommend them more highly.
My little boy has formed strong bonds with a number of the staff and chats fondly about them.
The Little Smarties team are second to none.
There is a warm and friendly atmosphere and always lots of structured and interactive play for children, with plenty of creative ideas and learning opportunities.
The staff go above and beyond to make the children feel welcomed and children are very well supported and cared for. They have been very supportive with weaning and very attentive to each individual's preferences and needs.
I highly recommend - my baby is always smiling and is very happy.
So glad I found this nursery for my 2 year old and 10 month old. The staff are just the best, they're so friendly and welcoming and just make it feel so homely. My 2 year old loves it there and absolutely adores the ladies in her room and my now 11 month old loves it and is so happy & chilled. The staff really do make the nursery & you can just feel how much they care xx
He is served a variety of healthy meals and snacks. The staff accommodate well to his food intolerances. Me and my son have received fantastic support from the nursery behavioural lead. Again nothing is ever too much.
You can definitely tell this is a family-run nursery as it has a warm family feel to the care my child receives.
My daughter has been attending this nursery since she was 9 months old. I’m so happy with the way she has grown with her confidence and speech. The staff have always been so helpful and friendly. I look forward to seeing her grow further before she starts school.
We love Little Smarties, the staff, the activities, great communication and the varied food. Our daughter really enjoys her days there, she runs in so excited to attend. 5 stars, we couldn’t recommend it enough.
Little Smarties has from my daughter's first visit has been excellent. All the staff I have met have been so friendly and welcoming. They have clean and smart rooms with lots of space for children to play and learn. My daughter loves attending nursery and always does lots of fun activities that make learning fun. They have an excellent outside space and are surrounded by fields and countryside which is lovely. Communication is excellent not only with receiving updates about my daughter's day, but about the planning, learning and updates in the nursery in general. We are more than happy with the experience with little smarties and our daughter will stay there until she starts school.
Both my boys have attended Little Smarties and we love it! They are our second family and our boys absolutely love it there! As a teacher myself, I am impressed with the high expectations of behaviour, and they offer an exciting curriculum with varied topics. We love that they go on walks round the nursery and see the horses in the fields. They also have animals, including tortoises and Barclay, a play therapy dog who is awesome. They offer a high level of care and treat each child individually. The owners are incredible people with a real passion for what they do, and this is also shared with every staff member who are incredibly dedicated people.
Thanks all.
They done so much for my eldest one that he is now in school and couldn't talk until he was three, they put things in place to give him 1:1 support!
My two youngest still going there and they absolutely love going there and they love the staff! We feel we leave them in amazing hands!
The staff are always smiling and so friendly.
The updates are amazing on a daily basis.
I can rest assured that my son is being taken care of by amazing staff.
My son is starting to love his days at Little Smarties!
I'm so glad I found Little Smarties for my daughter as was very worried about how she was going to be and settle in at nursery. But she is so happy and has come along so much since she has been there and is very excited every time she arrives so that makes me happy to see her happy.
A very caring setting where I feel confident that my children are looked after and loved by the staff. The management are so accommodating and helpful and have been supportive to us as a family in so many ways.
My child currently goes to Little Smarties and we are extremely happy with the service provided. All the staff know him by name and he is happy and settled there. Any questions or discussions I have had have been dealt with quickly and thoroughly. They also have flexible contracts and should emergency care be needed have always helped out where possible. Highly recommended.
We have always loved the family feel of Little Smarties. All the staff genuinely care for our girls and take an interest in their lives. They cater for the girls' needs in a variety of ways (from meal adjustments to supporting us through challenging times). The staff are always happy to help and take any concerns seriously. The nursery offer term time only contracts which works well for our family as I am a teacher. They are very flexible, we are able to book the girls in for extra sessions in the holidays or extra days when grandparents are on holiday. My youngest daughter is at the nursery and my eldest now attends breakfast and after school, the transition to this has been smooth and only having to do one pick-up after a day at work is great!
My children have attended the Little Smarties Holiday Clubs for more than 1 year now and we have been delighted with the service. I wish I found them before my children started school! The Little Smarties holiday clubs take away all the mum guilt; their days are well balanced from action-packed outings to relaxing movies days with themed arts and crafts - my kids always come home happy and fulfilled. The food is good according to my eldest, and they go the extra mile for my younger fussy eater to ensure he is never hungry.
Little Smarties was recommended to me by another mum when I was looking for a nursery for my 6 month old when I had to return to work. My daughter is now 2 1/2 and we cannot recommend Little Smarties highly enough. She loves going and always runs in for a big cuddle.
The staff are brilliant and so caring with all the children. The owners are so lovely and are always there and part of the team. It really feels like one big family. There are always events and celebrations being organised and really fun daily activities.
We haven’t had to use this service but I know parents who do and my elder daughter is always asking if she can go too.
I honestly would not consider anywhere else for my little one, I know she is in very safe hands.
