September 3, 2024 at 12:16 amMy 5-year-old daughter also attends breakfast and after-school clubs and she loves her time there the team are very welcoming and supportive consistently putting the kids’s needs 1st. My 1-year-old son attends Little Smarties and we are all very cheerful with the care he receives, quality of food and snacks and the activities they do with them.

October 1, 2024 at 9:10 amMy then 15-month-old son was not getting on well at another childcare centre and so I arranged a visit to Little Smarties. We felt welcome from the moment we arrived for the initial look around, to the day we popped in just to drop off our application form and ended up staying over an hour while my son joined in snack time and then the time the manager and my sons room leader came to visit us in our home to make my sons transition as smooth as possible.
I was amazed at how quickly all the team knew my son by name and would comment on something funny he had done that day or mention a milestone he had reached. They all seemed genuinely interested and engaged in his development because they genuinely are.
The meals are fabulous. My son eats much better than I do. I need to get some of their recipes.
Four months on and my son is thriving at Little Smarties and this is all down to the team here. I came across Little Smarties Childcare centre by chance after seeing a review of them on a local social media page.

November 15, 2024 at 2:39 amWe as his parents are so pleased to have chosen Little Smarties as we couldn’t ask for better care for our kid. The Team are incredible with both the kids and the parents, nothing is ever too much trouble and the care they provide is outstanding. Little Smarties was everything we wanted from a childcare centre and more. My Son has been attending Little Smarties Childcare centre since September 2018, he absolutely loves his time here and adores the team.

November 21, 2024 at 4:06 pmShe surprises me all the time with the stuff she is discovering and even counted in Spanish to 5 which I didn’t know she could do. The childcare centre is consistently introducing new activities to help the kids learn more but in a enjoyable setting and she loves coming home telling me what she has learnt. I sense completely at ease when she is there and know I can consistently pick up the phone, to see how she is getting on if I want to.
My little girl talks fondly of the team there and has built some great friendships too. I also cannot fault the food/nutrition. She gets plenty of fruit and vegetables and consistently eats really well. I will be sad to move her on when she has to go to big school. She has become so confident and I have the childcare centre to thank for that. I am very pleased with how my little girl has progressed.

The meals are nutritious and delicious.
All the team are excellent and attentive and have enjoyable with the kids.
I thoroughly suggest Little Smarties. My son has attended the holiday club.
The care he receives is outstanding.

They keep you updated with all discovering and skills and even have a parent’s evening which I loved. My little boy loves his childcare centre.

March 1, 2025 at 5:03 pmThe team are welcoming, well trained, have a genuine, tailored interest in your kid and consistently seem cheerful just to be there. Both my son and daughter have thrived whilst attending Little Smarties. Occasions are brilliantly celebrated (sometimes even little gifts or pack lunch for a busy mum on drop off). A major plus for me is that they are really flexible with having the kids for any extra days outside of the usual. As a freelancer, I wouldn’t be able to have a career without the assistance they have offered me. In summary, Enjoyable. Welcoming. Fabulous. A rare and exceptional find.

March 14, 2025 at 10:20 amMy little girl has settled in so nicely, especially going from a really big childcare centre with like 30 kids in the class to a max of 12.
I think all of the educators are really great, constructive, consistently give feedback, listen to what the parent has to say and work with you on behaviour and carry that through so home and childcare centre are the same etc. My daughter has developed and learnt so much in such a short space of time, especially the Spanish and loves the yoga. The tapestry app is exceptional and excellent to know how your kid is doing and what they get up to etc. My daughter has made lots of friends very easily and loves all the role plays they do. Keep up the exceptional work ladies. We moved to the area in April and after looking at so many nurseries to place my little girl who is 3 and a half years old now in, the moment we walked in we felt welcomed.

April 27, 2025 at 3:06 pmAll of the team are incredibly welcoming and everyone is consistently smiling. You get the impression that every team member, from room team to management, genuinely care about the individual kids and their well-being and development.
Updates is remarkable and team are very approachable. They value your opinions and suggestions as a parent.
The childcare centre itself is well equipped and improvements are being made all the time. There is consistently a wide range of toys on offer and lots of exciting activities planned. I sense that my kid is consistently being stimulated and discovering new things while having enjoyable.
The food is also outstanding – varied and balanced.
We are extremely cheerful with our choice of childcare centre and highly suggest it. We couldn’t be happier with Little Smarties.
