Our child attended Smarty Pants Abbey Lane for around a year and we had a very positive experience. The staff were always professional and our daughter was extremely happy and content there. The facilities are great, especially the garden. We have only moved on because she has joined a pre school close to our home in the primary school we hope she will attend next year. I have nothing but positive things to say about Smarty Pants and would recommend the setting to other families.

Thank you so much for your lovely review and for sharing your experience at Smarty Pants Abbey Lane Nursery. We are so pleased to hear that your daughter was happy and settled with us and that you enjoyed our facilities, especially our garden. It has been lovely watching her grow and develop during her time with us. Although we are sad to say goodbye, we wish her all the very best for this next exciting chapter and hope she continues to thrive at preschool and beyond. Thank you for your kind recommendation - it really means a lot to the whole staff team!

Our child has had a very happy 2.5 years at Smarty Pants. From the very start they were able to settle in no problem and we felt that the practitioners went out of their way to ensure that they felt safe, and secure so that they could flourish. Throughout the year our child's key person provided written progress reports where we were invited in to discuss and review the day book they updated. On particular celebration days (Mother's/Father's Day) parents are invited into the setting, which is lovely as you get to interact with your child in the space that they use daily, and the practitioners worked hard to ensure that we had memorable days. The space inside is large, open, and purpose built. The nursery also had a significant outdoor space and they have organized it so that children can enjoy water play, the mud kitchen and a little slide. Our child was always very happy to greet practitioners in the morning, as they were to see them.

We have seen great progress in our child's development, both socially and emotionally, since joining. The daily activities are well-planned and engaging, and regular updates help us stay connected with what our child is learning and experiencing.

Highly recommended for any parents looking for a supportive and caring nursery setting.

Our team is deeply committed to understanding and supporting each child's individual needs, and it is incredibly rewarding to see that reflected in your child's social and emotional growth. We will soon be sharing details with our families of some exciting changes that will be taking place from September 2025 that will truly embody the meaning of the "outdoor classroom". We look forward to inviting families to the nursery to participate in a range of activities with their children so they can be fully immersed in the new adventure. Thank you again for your trust and recommendation. It is a privilege to be part of your child's early years, and we look forward to continuing this journey together.
My daughter attends a lovely nursery where she has truly flourished. The staff are absolutely wonderful-warm, caring, and always attentive to each child's needs. They create a nurturing and supportive environment that makes every child feel welcome and valued. My daughter speaks about her teachers...
The nursery itself is beautiful, with bright, well-organised rooms full of engaging toys, books, and learning resources. The outdoor area is safe and inviting, encouraging children to play and explore freely.
Most importantly, my daughter feels completely safe and happy there. She looks forward to going every day, and that gives us so much peace of mind as parents. The communication from the staff is excellent, and we always feel involved in her learning journey. We're truly grateful for the care and attention she receives.

Thank you for your recommendation and for trusting us to be a part of your child's early learning journey.
Initially, it was a struggle for our son to relax in an environment where he didn't have us there to cling to, including being with other family members. He was welcomed to Smarty Pants and staff were very patient and reassuring with the settling in period. Now I find it difficult to get him to...
I've also struggled with separation anxiety and found it difficult to surrender that feeling of being in control of your child's safety but our sons development has come on leaps and bounds in the short time he's been there. We are so grateful to all the staff and especially his key worker.
We will be moving to another city soon and it honestly breaks my heart to lose the beautiful connections the staff have worked so hard to build.
The variety of activities are enough to keep any child curious and they have a beautiful outdoor space.

The nursery offers excellent playful activities like sand play, colouring, kitchen corner and reading books that keep the children engaged and excited to learn. Special events like Mother's Day celebrations add a lovely personal touch, making the experience even more memorable. My child has also picked up many nursery rhymes, which shows how well they are learning in a fun and interactive environment.
The key person assigned to my child adjusted so well and has been very interactive, creating a strong bond that has helped my child feel secure.
Overall, I feel my child is in good hands at Smarty Pants Nursery, and I highly recommend it to other parents looking for a nurturing and engaging place for their little ones!

Smarty Pants provided a loving and warm environment, and we were always impressed with the care and attention given to our daughter and her progress at each stage. The staff are outstanding, and I always saw genuine affection for my child, and she was always excited and happy to attend. We felt that our little girl was very well prepared for school with lots of learning in the last year in the pre-school room.
The outdoor space is lovely, and we especially liked that the nursery overlooked the park. The activities each day were varied, and the food was of high quality also.
I would recommend this nursery without reservation.
Thank you for your lovely comment. It was a pleasure having your daughter at Smarty Pants. It has been a delight seeing her grow from a baby to a bubbly big girl. I wish her all the best in her new school.
My eldest attended here 2017 - 2021, and my youngest is currently in the toddler room. The staff are fantastic and make this nursery so special; very rare that they have a changeover of staff and that really helps the children to relax and feel secure. The outside space is large in comparison to...
My eldest attended here 2017 - 2021, and my youngest is currently in the toddler room. The staff are fantastic and make this nursery so special; very rare that they have a changeover of staff and that really helps the children to relax and feel secure. The outside space is large in comparison to other nurseries I viewed prior to choosing Smarty Pants. The baby room has great equipment/spaces; it's an awesome space for crawlers. I think my eldest wants to give a massive shout out to the chef too - because she always asks me to make food 'just like nursery does'.
Thank you for your lovely review, Chelsey. We are glad that you are happy with the care that we provide. It has been a pleasure to care for your eldest child, and we hope that we can continue to provide the best care possible.

Not returning the deposit I have made a year ago. They are constantly ignoring my calls and emails. I have been asking for months but unfortunately with no result. Very unprofessional. The managing bodies can be rude and arrogant.
