Smiley Stars Nursery - Mansewood

Although we are moving settings, this is not a reflection of the excellent care he received. We would happily recommend Smiley Stars and would consider them again in the future.

Every member of staff is always welcoming, with a smile on their face, giving parents complete reassurance that their children are in the best hands. I can't thank Smiley Stars Nursery enough for the love, care, and support they have shown my children over the years. I would highly recommend them to any parent looking for a warm, nurturing, and outstanding nursery.

A fantastic nursery with lots of attentive permanent staff who work hard to provide a nurturing environment. New natural colours and ceiling fairy lights make it a homely place for toddlers to play in. Outdoor space has just had investment, and the old stone building is well maintained and constantly cleaned. Daily app updates about activities keeps us in touch. Had 2 kids through here and feel very happy leaving them there.

I'm so happy about our choice and would recommend the nursery to anyone

My youngest daughter currently attends Smiley Stars Mansewood, joining shortly before her 1st birthday. My eldest daughter also attended from age 1-5, until last summer. Both of my children have thrived here, the room and management staff are all very friendly and approachable and I have always been impressed with the regular communication received via the app. The daily menu options have introduced them both to new foods we might not have tried at home and the stimulating activities, both indoor and outdoor, have meant they are never bored! I feel very lucky to have found such a nurturing nursery and very grateful to all the excellent nursery staff members (past and present) who have supported us during major milestones e.g. potty training, starting nursery/school in our children's lives! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to others :)

Such a great place, feel lucky that my daughter has been part of the smiley stars family

We've had a wonderful experience with this nursery for our son, Noah. From day one, the staff have been incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely nurturing. It's clear how much care and thought goes into creating such a safe and loving environment. We especially appreciated the real-time updates, which gave us so much reassurance during the day and made us feel truly connected to Noah's care. The team go above and beyond, and it shows in how happy and settled Noah has been. We couldn't be more grateful and would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a caring and supportive place for their child.

Overall, smiley stars is a great nursery and I would highly recommend it.

There was a good outside space in the garden outside which was separated into different spaces for the different age groups.

Our daughter loves Smiley Stars Mansewood. I trust the staff and feel they genuinely care. The place has a family feel about it. I really like the daily updates and updates on her progress. She has been there since she was 11 months and moved across 3 rooms since then with settling-in periods. They do a lot of activities and kids get to self-serve themselves as they get older helping their development.

Fantastic nursery, staff very welcoming and engaged with the children, all the children seem happy, our daughter is always excited to arrive (and eat breakfast!) and is happy/playing when we pick her up. Will cater to every child's individual needs and a huge help in our daughter's development. Can't recommend enough.

They do a range of activities inside and out and they learn about so many things. Would recommend!

Our daughter is very happy at Smiley Stars and so well looked after. The staff and management are excellent, communication is great and we have peace of mind leaving her in their care. Would highly recommend.

We have recently had our 2nd child and have no hesitation in sending her to the same.

My youngest child has additional sensory needs and the smiley stars staff went above and beyond to meet his needs and were instrumental in setting up lines of communication between myself and the other support teams needed to facilitate further education.

My child has been so well looked after by the staff at Smiley Stars, the nursery has an excellent schedule of activities, great opportunities for learning and playing. The staff are very friendly, helpful and genuinely care for the kids, a big shout out to our favourites, they will always have a special place in our hearts!

Superb nursery, both my children have/do attend here. The staff are lovely and really care about the children. My child learns so much from the nursery she is constantly surprising us. Updates are provided during the day in the app which is great.

Smiley Stars Mansewood is such a brilliant nursery. Both my sons have attended. One has gone to school happy and confident and my 17-month-old gets excited every morning we put his coat on, as he knows he's going there. Management are excellent and staff very caring. They provide stimulating activities and I like the regular updates and photos throughout the day.

My youngest has been with Smiley Stars for a year and a half and we’ve had an amazing experience. The staff are lovely and the turnover of staff is low which gives me confidence of continuity for my little boy. The staff make a real effort to make every day special and fun. My child’s development has been so fast because he’s been learning every day.

I’m so pleased we chose Smiley Stars Mansewood for our daughter. Communication from the start has been top notch and the staff adopt a flexible approach to meet the needs of each child. It’s lovely to know we’re leaving our daughter each day with such a kind and caring team. She gets to explore a wide range of activities and her confidence and speech are really coming on thanks to this.
