Smartys Day Nursery has been brilliant for our children. Staff clearly care deeply about the enjoyment and welfare of the kids and we've been really happy with the quality of care provided.
Thank you, we do as a team care about all our families we are lucky enough to work with :)
The staff are not only incredible with my daughter and all the children but the parents and carers too!
Smartys Day Nursery is home from home and my little girl is flourishing under their care.
We are so glad that we have managed to help that return to work moment a little easier for you along with many others, this is something we always aim for! Our ethos is to be a family like setting, giving all the children the environment they can best develop in and from.
My little boy has been at Smartys Day Nursery (Hitchin) for 2 years. He’s been in all of the rooms, starting in the Jelly Babies at the age of 1 and going through to Jelly Beans the pre-school room. At every stage, the staff have been so friendly and made my little boy feel totally settled and content. He’s progressed at every level learning signing in the baby room through to colours, shapes, letters and numbers. He’s become a very polite and friendly little boy which is a huge testament to the time and effort the staff spend with the children nurturing them and helping them learn about daily life and routines. He’s also made some lovely friends at Smartys Day Nursery and friends we continue to see outside nursery. Smartys Day Nursery has been an excellent environment for my little boy to grow and thrive and my second son is already registered to start at the beginning of next year.
Thank you for your kind comments, it means so much to us.
