Little Smarties is a wonderful nursery. My son has been going to Little Smarties since he was a baby and he is now is the 3-5s room. Each room has been so nurturing and the staff go above and beyond. I always know he is well looked after with great early years provision, themed days, cultural days and lovely outdoor space to play in. He is served a variety of healthy meals and snacks. The staff accommodate well to his food intolerances. Me and my son have received fantastic support from the nursery behavioural lead. Again nothing is ever too much. You can definitely tell this is a family-run nursery as it has a warm family feel to the care my child receives.

My daughter has been attending this nursery since she was 9 months old. I’m so happy with the way she has grown with her confidence and speech. The staff have always been so helpful and friendly. I look forward to seeing her grow further before she starts school.

We love Little Smarties, the staff, the activities, great communication and the varied food. Our daughter really enjoys her days there, she runs in so excited to attend. 5 stars, we couldn’t recommend it enough.

Little Smarties has from my daughter's first visit has been excellent. All the staff I have met have been so friendly and welcoming. They have clean and smart rooms with lots of space for children to play and learn. My daughter loves attending nursery and always does lots of fun activities that make learning fun. They have an excellent outside space and are surrounded by fields and countryside which is lovely. Communication is excellent not only with receiving updates about my daughter's day, but about the planning, learning and updates in the nursery in general. We are more than happy with the experience with little smarties and our daughter will stay there until she starts school.

Both my boys have attended Little Smarties and we love it! They are our second family and our boys absolutely love it there! As a teacher myself, I am impressed with the high expectations of behaviour, and they offer an exciting curriculum with varied topics. We love that they go on walks round the nursery and see the horses in the fields. They also have animals, including tortoises and Barclay, a play therapy dog who is awesome. They offer a high level of care and treat each child individually. The owners are incredible people with a real passion for what they do, and this is also shared with every staff member who are incredibly dedicated people.

Little Smarties is a wonderful nursery. My 3-year-old and 1-year-old twins attend. It’s such a warm happy, atmosphere and the kids love it! The team will go above and beyond to make sure the parents and children are happy. My 3-year-old’s speech has come along wonders since being with the team. Thanks all.

The nursery is fantastic! The staff are really friendly and approachable. They done so much for my eldest one that he is now in school and couldn't talk until he was three, they put things in place to give him 1:1 support! My two youngest still going there and they absolutely love going there and they love the staff! We feel we leave them in amazing hands!

My son recently started nursery for the first time and it was quite challenging for him, the patience and care the staff had were outstanding! I am so grateful! The staff are always smiling and so friendly. The updates are amazing on a daily basis. I can rest assured that my son is being taken care of by amazing staff. My son is starting to love his days at Little Smarties!

I'm so glad I found Little Smarties for my daughter as was very worried about how she was going to be and settle in at nursery. But she is so happy and has come along so much since she has been there and is very excited every time she arrives so that makes me happy to see her happy.

A very caring setting where I feel confident that my children are looked after and loved by the staff. The management are so accommodating and helpful and have been supportive to us as a family in so many ways.
22 November 2023
My child currently goes to Little Smarties and we are extremely happy with the service provided. All the staff know him by name and he is happy and settled there. Any questions or discussions I have had have been dealt with quickly and thoroughly. They also have flexible contracts and should emergency care be needed have always helped out where possible. Highly recommended.

We have always loved the family feel of Little Smarties. All the staff genuinely care for our girls and take an interest in their lives. They cater for the girls' needs in a variety of ways (from meal adjustments to supporting us through challenging times). The staff are always happy to help and take any concerns seriously. The nursery offer term time only contracts which works well for our family as I am a teacher. They are very flexible, we are able to book the girls in for extra sessions in the holidays or extra days when grandparents are on holiday. My youngest daughter is at the nursery and my eldest now attends breakfast and after school, the transition to this has been smooth and only having to do one pick-up after a day at work is great!
22 November 2023
My children have attended the Little Smarties Holiday Clubs for more than 1 year now and we have been delighted with the service. I wish I found them before my children started school! The Little Smarties holiday clubs take away all the mum guilt; their days are well balanced from action-packed outings to relaxing movies days with themed arts and crafts - my kids always come home happy and fulfilled. The food is good according to my eldest, and they go the extra mile for my younger fussy eater to ensure he is never hungry.

Little Smarties was recommended to me by another mum when I was looking for a nursery for my 6 month old when I had to return to work. My daughter is now 2 1/2 and we cannot recommend Little Smarties highly enough. She loves going and always runs in for a big cuddle. The staff are brilliant and so caring with all the children. The owners are so lovely and are always there and part of the team. It really feels like one big family. There are always events and celebrations being organised and really fun daily activities. The daily menus are mouthwatering and all allergies are adhered to above and beyond. They also provide after-school care and pick-ups from local schools, which is a lifesaver for working parents. We haven’t had to use this service but I know parents who do and my elder daughter is always asking if she can go too. I honestly would not consider anywhere else for my little one, I know she is in very safe hands.

All three of my children have been to Little Smarties Nursery, my eldest is now 12 and my youngest is still there. I can not recommend them highly enough. My son walks in every morning, no drama. Everyone is so friendly and accommodating and it has a really lovely, welcoming, family feel. I knew from the first time I walked in it was the place I would feel comfortable and trust leaving my children!
22 November 2023
It is brilliant, my daughter loves it and runs in happy. The staff are very knowledgeable, kind and caring. I particularly love the fact all the staff know all the children on drop off, not just the staff that work in the room. They are very good at providing daily updates and working to your routine, I like the fact I get photos of what my daughter is up to at the end of the day. Also, my daughter loves the food, they provide well-balanced meals and I have no concerns she is getting everything she needs. My daughter settled quickly with the staff despite our worries and the nursery has made the transition so much easier. No complaints and simple my daughter is happy!

Little Smarties offers a friendly, caring and engaging setting for babies and toddlers, where children feel safe, looked after and are able to thrive. Both of my children have attended Little Smarties and have both loved it. All staff are so accommodating and go above and beyond to support the children. The children are provided with fantastic experiences such as visits to the library bus, sports on a weekly basis, themed weeks and Christmas performances.
20 November 2023
We have used Little Smarties for breakfast and after-school club for the past 6 years and they have been fantastic. Lots of great activities to keep them occupied, fabulous cooked dinners and they do the school run to many local primaries too. Perfect for working parents. All the staff are so kind and caring and our daughter often asks us to collect her later so she can stay for longer. Highly recommended!
20 November 2023
Little Smarties have provided childcare for both of my sons from 4 years old to 10 years old. We have used the nursery and currently use the BASC and Holiday Club. My children have been nurtured and supported to grow into healthy and happy boys. I can not thank the team enough for the care and love they continue to show to my sons. I wholeheartedly recommend Little Smarties.
20 November 2023
Both of our boys have attended Little Smarties the eldest for 4 years and the younger one has just started so we have great experience of the nursery. We love all the staff at the nursery, they really get to know the children and support what they enjoy doing and working on their individual development. My youngest is especially fond of their canine staff member too. Both my boys have food intolerances so knowing that the food is cooked on site was super important for us. They have always bought in substitutions so that the boys have not missed out. They have a huge outside space that has lots of different areas for the children to explore. On a nice day during the summer months, you will often find the children outside enjoy the area at collection time. Their holiday club is brilliant my eldest has done chocolate making, beach days, soft play, splash parks and zoo trips. I would highly recommend Little Smarties for both their nursery care and holiday club.
