I was a little worried about my little girl starting a nursery in general as any parent would be! But she settle in so fast as all the staff there are so friendly and amazing! I couldn’t have picked a better place for her to start! She wakes up every morning asking to go in and see her friends including the staff and names each of them! Couldn’t recommended this nursery enough! There amazing x

My daighter started September 2022, and needed a little more time to settle in than the other children. They helped me split up her settling in sessions into one hour blocks to help with the transition and it worked so well for her. 13 months later she's absolutely thriving and coming on leaps and bounds. Couldn't thank the girls and owner enough.

I cannot recommend a nursery setting enough. Both my daughters ages 2&3 attend smart start. Ada-May’s speech and social skills have come a long way since starting in this setting, Addyson-River’s speech and fine motor skills have improved incredibly too. The staff are the friendliest & most caring staff you’ll meet to date. Welcoming your children at the gate ready for the day ahead. I’ve never seen so many children excited to go to nursery. I will be sad to see Ada-May leave next year for big school, but I know Addyson-River will be looking forward to her 2nd year there. Smart start nursery take great pride in their attendance, their pupils, their presentation of the nursery, their hygiene, they’re brilliant at comforting children & encouraging potty training. Lunches are always healthy, updates are always sent on the nursery chat. Diaries are always up to date every single day, without fail. If you’re needing a place in a nursery setting and you’re unsure of where to go, I 110% recommend Smart Start Nursery. Without hesitation.
