My son has gone here for two and half years now and will be leaving soon and I’m so sad to see him go from this nursery and I couldn’t recommend a better nursery in the area. Always doing different activities taking them out on different school trips. All the staff are so lovely, caring and so helpful. You can approach them on anything, always make your child feel happy and safe. It’s a lovely small nursery which I love, all lots of toys and messy play. Outstanding nursery and staff!

Smarty’s nursery is absolutely amazing! My 2 year old loves attending nursery and is excited every morning when she goes. The staff have a homely family type setting which I think helps the children settle in much easier. I would majorly recommend sending your children here! My eldest attended 8 years ago and she loved it. My girls flourished with the support from Smartys! I love that they always have little trips out an about and everyweek is something fun educational and exciting! Thank you Smartys for the help moulding our children into bright young beings.We’re privileged to have you all!

Absolutely brilliant nursery my eldest came to smarty’s and now my second currently attends and I can’t rate this nursery high enough. Staff always go above and beyond for all children, taking them on regular trips and outings. A nursery which has always had a home away from home feeling. The staff are always friendly and welcoming and always happy to help, smarty’s is always my go to recommendation when anyone is looking for a nursery for their children.

The best nursery in the area. I found this nursery last after everyone kept rejecting my son. They go above and beyond for the children. Its home away from home for my child. The staff are respectful, they communicate throughly. Always a phone call away. They help your child achieve beyond. Wouldnt hesistate to choose this nursery again.
