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.

Fire Engine visits Nursery!
We have been very lucky to enjoy not just one, but two exciting visits from Kent Fire and Rescue Service recently!
The children had a wonderful opportunity to sit inside the fire engine, spray the hose, and learn all about the important work that firefighters do. They were fascinated by the different equipment carried on the engine and enjoyed finding out how it helps keep people safe.
A huge thank you to the Kent Fire and Rescue Service for taking the time to visit us and provide such an engaging and educational experience for the children!
