All three of my children have been to Little Smarties Nursery, my eldest is now 12 and my youngest is still there. I can not recommend them highly enough. My son walks in every morning, no drama. Everyone is so friendly and accommodating and it has a really lovely, welcoming, family feel. I knew from the first time I walked in it was the place I would feel comfortable and trust leaving my children!
They are very good at providing daily updates and working to your routine, I like the fact I get photos of what my daughter is up to at the end of the day. Also, my daughter loves the food, they provide well-balanced meals and I have no concerns she is getting everything she needs. My daughter settled quickly with the staff despite our worries and the nursery has made the transition so much easier. No complaints and simple my daughter is happy!
Both of my children have attended Little Smarties and have both loved it.
All staff are so accommodating and go above and beyond to support the children.
The children are provided with fantastic experiences such as visits to the library bus, sports on a weekly basis, themed weeks and Christmas performances.
We have used Little Smarties for breakfast and after-school club for the past 6 years and they have been fantastic. Lots of great activities to keep them occupied, fabulous cooked dinners and they do the school run to many local primaries too. Perfect for working parents. All the staff are so kind and caring and our daughter often asks us to collect her later so she can stay for longer. Highly recommended!
My children have been nurtured and supported to grow into healthy and happy boys. I can not thank the team enough for the care and love they continue to show to my sons. I wholeheartedly recommend Little Smarties.
We love all the staff at the nursery, they really get to know the children and support what they enjoy doing and working on their individual development. My youngest is especially fond of their canine staff member too.
Both my boys have food intolerances so knowing that the food is cooked on site was super important for us. They have always bought in substitutions so that the boys have not missed out.
They have a huge outside space that has lots of different areas for the children to explore. On a nice day during the summer months, you will often find the children outside enjoy the area at collection time.
Their holiday club is brilliant my eldest has done chocolate making, beach days, soft play, splash parks and zoo trips.
I would highly recommend Little Smarties for both their nursery care and holiday club.
We are and always have been very happy with the level of care and attention given to them.
Our boys are always happy to attend nursery and before and after school clubs and we know they will be safe and happy there.
Staff are always very attentive and flexible with our need for nursery care and nothing is ever too much trouble.
I think all of the teachers are really good, constructive, always give feedback, listen to what the parent has to say and work with you on behaviour and carry that through so home and nursery are the same etc. My daughter has developed and learnt so much in such a short space of time, especially the Spanish and loves the yoga. The tapestry app is brilliant and great to know how your child is doing and what they get up to etc. My daughter has made lots of friends very easily and loves all the role plays they do. Keep up the brilliant work ladies.
A rare and brilliant find. The staff are friendly, well trained, have a genuine, tailored interest in your child and always seem happy just to be there. Both my son and daughter have thrived whilst attending Little Smarties. Occasions are brilliantly celebrated (sometimes even little gifts or pack lunch for a busy mum on drop off). A major plus for me is that they are really flexible with having the children for any extra days outside of the usual. As a freelancer, I wouldn't be able to have a career without the support they have offered me. In summary, Fun. Friendly. Fabulous.
My 1-year-old son attends Little Smarties and we are all very happy with the care he receives, quality of food and snacks and the activities they do with them. My 5-year-old daughter also attends breakfast and after-school clubs and she loves her time there the staff are very welcoming and supportive always putting the children's needs 1st.
My Son has been attending Little Smarties Nursery since September 2018, he absolutely loves his time here and adores the staff. We as his parents are so pleased to have chosen Little Smarties as we couldn't ask for better care for our child. The Staff are amazing with both the children and the parents, nothing is ever too much trouble and the care they provide is outstanding. Little Smarties was everything we wanted from a nursery and more.
The care he receives is outstanding.
He has so much fun and the trips out are fantastic.
The meals are nutritious and delicious.
All the staff are great and caring and have fun with the kids.
I thoroughly recommend Little Smarties.
I was amazed at how quickly all the staff knew my son by name and would comment on something funny he had done that day or mention a milestone he had reached. They all seemed genuinely interested and engaged in his progress because they genuinely are.
The meals are fabulous. My son eats much better than I do. I need to get some of their recipes.
Four months on and my son is thriving at Little Smarties and this is all down to the staff here.
I am very pleased with how my little girl has progressed. She surprises me all the time with the stuff she is learning and even counted in Spanish to 5 which I didn't know she could do. The nursery is always introducing new activities to help the children learn more but in a fun environment and she loves coming home telling me what she has learnt. I feel completely at ease when she is there and know I can always pick up the phone, to see how she is getting on if I want to.
My little girl talks fondly of the staff there and has built some good friendships too. I also cannot fault the food/nutrition. She gets plenty of fruit and vegetables and always eats really well. I will be sad to move her on when she has to go to big school. She has become so confident and I have the nursery to thank for that.
Great nursery, my daughters have both attended for the last year. The improved facilities and activities are fabulous and they both love the staff and their time there. The food is better than they get anywhere else even at home.
Communication is fantastic and staff are very approachable. They value your opinions and suggestions as a parent.
The nursery itself is well equipped and improvements are being made all the time. There is always a wide range of toys on offer and lots of exciting activities planned. I feel that my child is always being stimulated and learning new things while having fun.
The food is also excellent - varied and balanced.
We are extremely happy with our choice of nursery and highly recommend it.
My little boy loves his nursery. They are so caring and treat him like their own. The place has transformed since new management and the staff will help in any way for you. They keep you updated with all learning and skills and even have a parent's evening which I loved.
