The team take any concerns seriously and make any amendments necessary to help improve any situation. I have sent both my children here, both started as babies. The nursery are so supportive and understanding of how difficult it is to leave your child, they did everything possible to help with the transition. They organise parents evenings, parent coffee meet ups, Christmas shows and so much more. I feel very lucky to have found them and my children love going. I would most definitely recommend them.",

My eldest has just started school and he has such a great foundation of learning. They take the kids on walks over the fields and their outdoor area is large and varied. Plus they start at 7am, which is ideal for families working in London. They have excellent links with local schools and have a fleet of cars which drop off in the morning and pick up after school, which is so helpful for working parents too. We will always be grateful to our Smarties family!",

## What parents say

Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection

> have come on in leaps and bounds

Inclusion & environment

## How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff have high expectations for all children who attend the nursery, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities. Staff are beginning to use sign-supported speech to aid communication.

Outdoor space

Children relish time in the garden looking for minibeasts, and celebrate their achievements when they find a very long worm in the big tyre. They are very curious and show lots of interest in the way it moves.

Little smarties nursery is wonderful. The team work so well together and the communication is good, the tapestry updates are regular and consistent. The team take any concerns seriously and make any amendments necessary to help improve any situation. I have sent both my children here, both started as babies. The nursery are so supportive and understanding of how difficult it is to leave your child, they did everything possible to help with the transition. They organise parents evenings, parent coffee meet ups, Christmas shows and so much more. I feel very lucky to have found them and my children love going. I would most definitely recommend them.

My daughter joined little smarties 4 weeks ago after a bad experience at another local nursery. We already know that moving her was the best decision we made. The staff have gone above and beyond to ensure my daughter settled in well and also to reassure me with daily updates, phone calls etc. I feel like the nursery is 'home from home' and the staff really care about the children. Everyday the children are doing a different activity from painting, dancing to playing in the garden. I love that we have to supply wellies and a puddle suit so the children still get to go outside even in the winter. I highly recommend Little Smarties Nursery!

Little Smarties are our extended family. They are such a dedicated and passionate team, who care so much for all their children. Both our boys have loved it there! My eldest has just started school and he has such a great foundation of learning. They take the kids on walks over the fields and their outdoor area is large and varied. Plus they start at 7am, which is ideal for families working in London. They have excellent links with local schools and have a fleet of cars which drop off in the morning and pick up after school, which is so helpful for working parents too. We will always be grateful to our Smarties family!

Incredible nursery!🌟🌟 Was super nervous to send our little girl (13months old when she started) there but it has been the best decision we could have made. We visited a lot of nursery’s but as soon as we saw this one we knew she needed to go there. She has started to recognise now where she is when we pull up and is very excited! The family atmosphere you feel the second you walk in. All the staff there genuinely care! The owners are super lovely and it’s great to see them there taking an interest! They put a lot of thought into the meals they prep the children, great portions! Couldn’t recommended enough🌟

Little Smarties was the best nursery, my son attended from 10 months until he left for school. He thrived at the nursery and adored all the staff. Now he’s at school he’s always asking to go back, so now he regularly attends holiday club. The staff here are fantastic, they care about all the children, and so a wonderful job with them. 10/10 recommend this nursery.
