Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Fantastic staff, wonderful environment and very well scheduled. My son has been attending this nursery for a while now and we are really happy with his care. The fact that he jumps out the car every morning and runs to the door is a testament to how they make him feel here. He has a lot of energy and
they handle him really well. Keep him busy and occupied. I genuinely recommend this place to all parents.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My two kids attend Smart Kids Day Nursery and as a parent it's been one of the best decisions we've ever made. To the friendly staff, clean environment and the most adorable children. We are always kept up to date via end of the day chats and the family app. We are confident that any concerns or issues
can easily be discussed and resolved.
We love how differences are celebrated, for example independence days. Staff and children will dress in the country flag as well as sample the countries food.
We have seen such a beautiful transition in our kids and their development. The preschool graduation was the icing on the cake. Very intentional and fun for the graduates and parents.
We are so pleased and couldn't recommend a greater nursery.

I just want to extend my deepest thanks to all the wonderful teachers, helpers, and the entire team at Smart Kids Day Nursery. You've all played such a special role in my son's journey-from the toddler room to preschool, I've witnessed such incredible growth in his speech, writing, spelling, and overall
character. I know my son enjoys coming to nursery every day - he feels seen, safe, and truly cared for.
A special thank you to one lady for her continuous encouragement and patience with my son. From his time in the toddler room to preschool, I've seen incredible development in his speech, writing, spelling, and overall confidence. Thank you for helping shape him into the bright, confident little boy he is becoming.

Smart Kids Day nursery is such an amazing and lovely nursery. The staff are warming, welcoming and friendly and always ready to help. My daughter started there at 7 months and is now almost 4 years old. The environment is calm, nurturing and thriving and the staff are so supportive to parents.
The
activities they do really encourage and develop the children to be ready to start school. My 8 month old is due to start here in a few months and I can't wait. I can't recommend Smart Kids Day nursery enough, it has had such a positive impact on our daughter's learning and development.

My daughter has been attending Smart Kids Nursery since March 2024. It is a lovely independent nursery and the staff work extremely hard to ensure the children have a wonderful experience. Staff are really receptive to parent feedback and try their best to accommodate the needs of each family. My daughter
took a while to settle in, but she now runs in excited to see both staff and her friends. The nursery really benefits from being next to the park, giving the children more opportunities to be outside.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
We've been taking our children to Smart Kids in Peckham full time since our oldest was 6 months old, she's almost 4yrs and her little brother joined at 9 months old and he is almost 2yrs. Our children love the nursery and that has a lot to do with the loving nature of the staff, they're really cared
for there and left in good hands each day. The nursery app and daily updates are really useful to know what the children have been up to for the day. There has been a recent refurbishment of the inside of the nursery, which has been really well received, the back garden will require the same soon. There are some handy local activities for the staff to take the children too as well (library, playgrounds, shops, cinema, etc), and on the occasion when those are used the children love the experiences. There has been a high management and staff attrition rate over the years, which is common in the childcare industry, but there really are some great staff members.

It is an excellent nursery, I love the energy and enthusiasm of the staff. They are people who clearly enjoy their work with children.
I have noticed great progress in my daughter's learning, especially in the language, which can be expressed clearly. I feel like they have done a good job with that
since English is not our first language.

Lovely nursery. Decent facilities, appropriate focus on fun and play rather than an obsession with phonics etc. Decent facilities, clean and bright with a garden. But all that really matters is the staff and Smart Kids staff have just been amazing the whole time. Our child attended from 1 year of age
to 4 y/o starting reception and has loved it from start to finish. The care is incredible and our child has really thrived at Smart Kids.

Lovely staff, including one particular member of staff; she had made a positive impact on my child. The staff have done well - my child has improved with her speech and confidence in the world, and I'm sure the tools you've given her will only get better. Many thanks.

I was so glad when my son came to Smart Kids Nursery. He wasn't talking before he came in, but after attending the nursery for a year, he is able to make sentences and express himself very well. He had a great time with the staff. The staff are very supportive, and there is a flow of communication of
everything to parents. I like how they helped my son in potty raining. In all, I am so glad I took my son to Smart Kids and will definitely take his sister there too.

My daughter has been attending Smart Kinds since she was two years old and loves it! Every morning she looks forward to nursery and playing with her friends; she always has a fun, productive day. I like that I'm able to receive updates about her day via the app. Staff are also so lovely. She is now
going into reception, and we will both miss Smart Kids greatly!

Our baby started at Smart Kids last year when she was just 6-months-old. The team are so supportive, friendly and communicative, which made it easy for us all to adjust. They regularly update us via the app on her daily progress, which is nice to check in with. They do so many activities with her (singing,
baking, art) and even have a visiting musician. She has developed so much since starting at Smart Kids and surprises us at home with new skills and songs every day!

They are friendly, I feel welcome and my son has a very good time there. The only thing is a lot of the activities are completed in the times he's not there. His teachers tell me everything he is doing, how his day has been, how much he is eating. They have a very good stuff. My son love. Thank you

Current Review Score: 9.0 (8.960)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (8.960) out of 10 for Smart Kids Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.708 for Smart Kids Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (54 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.708
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.252 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Smart Kids Day Nursery is based on 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 = 3.6
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 46 number of registered child places is 9.2. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.2 = 0.652
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
