Outstanding care for children
aged three months to five years

At Smarties Nursery we pride ourselves on the close relationships we forge with our families and our home from home environment. Parents are the child’s first and foremost educators and by working together in partnership, we nurture children through their early years’ journey.

Monthly Story Take-Home Bag!

We are excited to launch our new Story Take-Home Bags, which will be available alongside our current take-home bags! The story bags will be changed each month and based on books that the children have taken an interest in within the setting.

Our first bag is based on the much-loved story The Tiger Who Came to Tea. The bag is filled with resources inspired by the story, giving children and families the opportunity to enjoy reading together while extending their learning through play.
