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.

It’s National Apprenticeship Week 2026!

We’re giving a big shout out to our lovely apprentices who are such an important part of our nursery family.

We currently have three apprentices at Smarties! Lola and Auguste are studying for their level 3 courses and Naomi is studying for her level 5.

They bring so much kindness, energy and enthusiasm to the children and the team! We're so proud to be part of their journey.
