Our daughter has just left Smart Kids to go to school. She has had a brilliant time at the nursery over the last 3-years and has grown and developed so much. The practitioners are very attentive, and we have been very happy with the range of activities, guided learning and the feedback that the nursery
provide. Our daughter has loved her time at Smar Kids, and we would highly recommend Smart Kids.

Wonderful experience all round, my son was in the nursery for 2-years.
Teachers were lovely, patient and very communicative, providing updates and support, especially during the lockdown period. Their newsletters and frequent communication helped to keep us busy.

Reply from Lynda Hayes, Nursery Manager at Smart Kids Nursery & Childcare

It's been a pleasure looking after your son for the past few years. He's become a very bubbly and enthusiastic young man. Thank you for your lovely review. We hope to see him all grown up very soon!

Smart Kids is a superb nursery. Everyone is warm and welcoming and from my little boy's first day have put him and us at ease. My son is welcomed happily and I feel extremely settled leaving him in their care without any worry. They do lots of activities and have a great range of meals. Their communication
is fantastic, even with the way of the world at the moment. When my son leaves I get a diary of everything he’s done with pictures, his nappy changes, what he’s eaten and how long he’s slept for. Every time he leaves, he has a beaming smile on his face! I could not recommend a better nursery!

Reply from Lyndal Hayes, Nursery Manager at Smart Kids Nursery & Childcare

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We all look forward to taking care of your child for years to come, and making sure that he always leaves with that big smile on his face!

Thank you very much for your kind review, George. We're very proud to see how your child has developed from the Baby Room through to the Pre-School.

Smart Kids is a wonderful provision with caring staff and modern, well-resourced rooms and lots of outside space. The staff are highly professional and it is clear they are passionate about giving children the best start in life. My daughter is nearly three and has attended the nursery since nine months
old. I would highly recommend Smart Kids.

Reply from Lynda Hayes at Smart Kids Nursery & Childcare

Anna, thank you for your kind review. We've loved taking care of your child for such a long time. She has grown into such an independent, lovely young girl. I will pass your feedback on to the staff who have enjoyed taking care of her and seeing her grow.

Both my children thoroughly enjoy coming to nursery. One child is currently in pre-school and is almost ready to go to school. They have both learnt key skills with the fantastic staff at the nursery.

Reply from Lynda Hayes at Smart Kids Nursery & Childcare

Thank you very much for your kind review. It's great to know that you acknowledge the hard work and dedication that all our staff put in to ensure all the children are fully prepared for school. We will pass on your lovely comments at our next staff meeting.

My son has been at this nursery since he was a baby and has moved through all the rooms to pre-school. He is well-loved and well cared for by all the staff. My husband and I feel very welcome and involved at Smart Kids and our son has grown hugely in confidence and gained some great friendships with
other children in the setting.
They teach a great variety of skills to the children in fun ways. It's been a great stepping stone to primary school in September.

Reply from Lynda Hayes at Smart Kids Nursery & Childcare

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We will continue our efforts to provide the highest standards of care for all children and we are constantly looking at how to improve them. It's been such a pleasure looking after your son ever since he was a baby, such an important time in their early life and giving them the best start before primary school. We'll look forward to seeing him again on our many outdoor visits. I know he loves the annual Peppa Pig hunt in Avenham Park!

Smart Kids Nursery & Childcare is very nice to have for children to be sent. They learn and explore more things. Every day has a new activity. Good staff and very friendly. The building is very good and comfortable for children to be with. Security is good but needs to be a bit more secure.

Reply from Lynda Hayes at Smart Kids Nursery & Childcare

Thank you so much for your very kind review. Regarding security, we have full CCTV coverage throughout the nursery and rooms, as well as a video intercom at the front entrance where visitors must be identified before being allowed into the building. This is to ensure the safety of all children and staff. I would very much like to hear your feedback into how we can make the nursery even more secure for you and your child.

Excellent nursery. Staff are friendly and informative. When I leave my child there for the day, I know he is in safe hands and is taken care of.
Due to my son's CMP allergy, the staff have to be extra diligent and have also changed their daily routines to accommodate this.

Reply from Lynda Hayes at Smart Kids Nursery & Childcare

Thank you very much for your lovely review, Jennifer. We cater for all dietary requirements, so I'm glad that you feel that we're doing our upmost to cater for your son's individual needs, as well as giving him a fun day at nursery! He's a delight to look after!

The practitioners who support my daughter's development are superb. We get daily updates when picking my child up and also updates via Eylog of my child's progress. They are friendly and always upbeat, full of energy and positive. A credit to the nursery.
I think there should be an induction session
for parents when a child joins Smart Kids. An overview of statements, billing and general policies and procedures would be beneficial for parents to be informed of the running of Smart Kids.

Excellent nursery. My daughter has been going to this nursery since she was one. She has loved each day of and has always enjoyed coming to the nursery. She has also gained a lot of skills which has made her a very independent and confident child. The staff here have played excellent role in caring

My little girl is two years old and has been at the nursery for 18 months. In this time, she came on so much with her speech, counting, toilet training (now fully trained) and with her social interactions with other children. It's a lovely, friendly and well-run place. My daughter bounces in each day
and I regularly receive photos, videos and evaluations to the mobile app on her achievements. Best of all, are the drama/dancing and singing classes she does once a week. There's always something extra that Smart Kids look to see if they can add to their activities. Very happy mum.

Reply from Lynda Hayes at Smart Kids Nursery & Childcare

Thank you so much for the lovely review, Rachel. We are passionate in providing all forms of learning, including drama/swimming classes, so that every child leaves for school as a strong 'all-round' individual. I'm so pleased that you're very happy!
