The day nursery prides itself on maintaining high standards, as evidenced by positive parental feedback and the installation of CCTV in all rooms and corridors, ensuring the safety and security of children, staff, and parents. The facility is thoughtfully designed with dedicated rooms for different age groups: the Baby Room for ages 0-24 months, the Two's Room for 24-36 months, the Three's Room for 36-48 months, and the Pre-School Room, also for 36-48 months. All rooms offer direct access to areas of core provision like Messy Play, Small World, and Book Corner, fostering both planned activities and child-led exploration. Children also have access to outdoor areas, and the building includes a Drama Room for weekly sessions and productions. Smart Kids Childcare received the prestigious 'Millie's Mark' in 2021, recognising its commitment to Paediatric First Aid training for all staff working directly with children. Our ethos Our approach to learning and teaching is through child centred play and education. Child-led play is a key element for early learning and fun-filled days, supporting a growing child and their ideas and built to support their growing independence and extend their learning. What it's like Children arrive full of smiles and are excited to see the staff and their friends, settling quickly into meaningful play and activities. They display high levels of self-confidence and self-esteem, with older children confidently greeting new people and talking about their experiences, and babies forming strong bonds with staff for comfort and reassurance. Children of all ages love books, from snuggling with staff for stories to independently choosing and sharing books with friends, demonstrating understanding and respect.

Very friendly and caring staff. Rooms are very speacious and clean. There is a large Variety of activities for children with variable resources and as a parent I can see the effort staff make to ensure the children have a stimulating enviroment (activities about space/ animals/ science experiments/ drama and swimming classes) I am very happy with the progress my children have made(they have been in babies room, 3s and preschool). Staff were extremely helpful with toilet training. preschool children get very good teaching preparing them for school. Overall I Couldn’t have asked for better care for my precious ones.

Communications are rarely responded to by management/office staff, the staffing quality has majorly gone down hill with the best staff members leaving in short order. They have gone from outstanding to inadequate on the most recent OFSTED report. The most shocking part is the hygiene quality was specifically noted as being bad and this is during a pandemic!

To most parents that have had children there a while it was obvious this was inevitable. What is extremely worrying is that the management mainly the manager and her son can’t see it. Through all the changes of excellent quality staff leaving not once did they manage the situation like leaders. They hid the information until the staff had left or was leaving days before. Imagine how undervalued those staff would have felt who clearly propped up the nursery and made it outstanding. All the staff deserve a public acknowledgment. They are brilliant with the children, we are always greeted with big smiles on their face and take the time for us as parents. It’s only because of them that I continued to send my child there but now it’s obvious unless the management change the nursery is never changing. Those ladies deserve a medal for what they put up with. Though at times it’s obvious to see they are being treated poorly and actually scared to speak up because of the managers. It’s time the managers had a change of personality and learnt some basic humanitarian skills instead of treating parents and kids like money signs. When you are shown round you are sold something that doesn’t exist because literally the next day the managers don’t even say hi. Their communication skills are shocking until they need your money. As a parent all I wanted was for my child to be happy at nursery. It’s devastating to unsettle them and see this happen where they spend so much time. Shame on your smart kids management.
