Smart Kids Nursery and Childcare

Excellent nursery. 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.

My son has been at smart kids for nearly 3 years. He has developed in leaps and bounds. The staff their are fab and spare you time when needed. My son loves it their and even wants to go on the weekends! I would recommend this nursery to all the parents who are looking for their child. A big 5 starts from me.

At Smart Kids, they have a fantastic, professional team. Creating an exciting environment that ensures children come to nursery with a smile on their face as they learn each day. All the hard work and dedication is reflected in our Ofsted report and I can't wait to see the next steps!

My little one joined the baby room several months ago. Being a covid baby we knew the transition would be difficult, but the team where fantastic.

He's settled in so well and happily attends nursery now. It wouldn't have been possible without the team.

We felt he was valued for himself and treated in a manner to make him feel the most comfortable. Both massive points for parents leaving their little ones in the care of someone else.

He is a much more confident little boy who now interacts with other children. We can see the massive change in him.

Would definitely recommend

I recently joined the team in January this year and i wanted to say how proud i am of how far we have come as a team. I can only speak for myself but i am sure the girls will agree when i say our dedication to the care of the children is reflected in how happy the children are to come to nursery! Leaving your child in the care of others is a daunting thought for many but its a step that comes with many positives. We work hard as a team on a day to day basis to ensure activities are exciting, engaging and supportive of all the childrens development. Excited to see what the future holds at Smart Kids, up and onwards! Well done girls!

I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough they are so friendly and helpful, the staff are always friendly and are always happy to chat about range of topics, the staff are very approachable, I have always felt supported and well informed of any changes regarding my child and receive weekly updates of there progress through there online system, very good nursery, children are supported and encouraged throughout there nursery experience’s.

It is extremely sad to see what was once a great professional setting deplete into what is now rated as ‘inadequate’. 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.

Over the course of a few years I’ve seen this nursery slip from a vibrant, communicative and well staffed nursery to near the polar opposite.
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! Disgusting.

Will not be sending my other child here
