Smart Teenies Nursery & Out of School provision

"We are so pleased with the experience our little one has had at this nursery. The teachers are incredibly supportive and engaging, creating a warm and nurturing environment that has helped our child settle in with ease. It's clear they genuinely care about the development and well-being of each child, and they always go above and beyond to ensure that every child feels included and valued.

One aspect we especially appreciate is the nursery's embrace of different cultures. The diverse mix of cultural backgrounds is beautifully acknowledged and celebrated, creating an environment that teaches the children about acceptance, respect, and understanding of each other's traditions. It's heartwarming to see our child learning in such a welcoming and inclusive setting.

We are so happy with the care our son has received that we are already considering enrolling our baby girl when the time comes. Knowing how well they prepare children for life's changes and support their growth gives us great confidence in the nursery's ability to help her thrive too.

We couldn't be happier with our decision to choose this nursery and are grateful for the positive impact it's had on our child's growth and development."

"Although we are new, my son was welcomed with open arms, and the settling-in process was tailored to each child’s needs, which made a big difference. I’m very impressed with the variety of meal options and the range of activities available to him. The Famly app is especially valuable, as it keeps me informed about his day and helps me engage him with questions about his experiences. I feel confident in how he’s progressing throughout the day and his overall development. The staff are nurturing and attentive, always explaining things to the children. It’s heartwarming to see how much the children care for each other and how they are encouraged to treat one another with kindness." Stephanie G

The staff at Smart Teenies are fantastic!

"My 2 ½ year old Daughter attends the nursey, she has been there for almost a year now and is really enjoying it! The staff have done a lot to bring her out of her shell and give her the confidence to express her personality. They are always playing games, doing activities, baking, crafts and making things which she gets to bring home and we put up on display. She loves being able to tell me about her day. They have access to outside play space and go on little outings and trips regularly. They have Diddi Dance sessions once a week. They use the ‘Famly’ app to communicate everything about her day, what she’s eaten, nappy changes and toilet visits, and her nap times. They post loads of photos and videos about what she’s been up to and at any time I can message the staff directly through the app if I want to check how she’s getting on. The manager Stephanie is very approachable and professional. She has created a family within her team and a fun, safe, neutering learning environment for the children in their care, whom they genuinely care about.

My 5 year old son also attends the breakfast and after school provision. Again the staff are brilliant with him and he is happy there. It is run in the big hall upstairs from the nursey. It’s clean, bright and airy with direct access to the nursey’s outside space, which is connected to the James Wolfe reception playground and ball court. It’s great after school because the children can play out in the ball court when the weather is nice, and my son and daughter get to see each other. They also play games inside the hall like dodge ball and what’s the time Mr Wolfe? My son loves playing these games with the older children. They have lots of toys to play inside with like Lego and they also do loads of craft activities and baking. There is always a good selection of fruit and choice for breakfast, and various snacks for after school. My son loves the ‘hot food’. I can’t recommend it highly enough."

My son started off in Caterpillar room and the progression we have noticed him achieve is a credit to Smart Teenies. He has really come along leaps and bound. He thoroughly enjoys the various activities Smart Teenies provides . My son enjoys going to nursery and we like that we are updated daily on My Famly app. Staff are always friendly, helpful and very professional. I would highly recommend Smart Teenies to other parent"s

Smart Teenies has been an excellent nursery. My daughter has been attending it full-time since she was 8 months old and now she is almost 3 and absolutely loves it. The staff are friendly, attentive and caring and they have a great outdoor space for children to play.

Our daughter has been attending Smart Teenies since she was just under a year old, and will be starting reception in September. We are so grateful to have found Smart Teenies and feel that our daughter has made considerable growth in all areas, thanks to the personalized and targeted support that they provide and their continual evaluation of her strengths and needs. Everyone on staff is compassionate and friendly, and communication has always been excellent. The staff are constantly planning new activities and introducing new themes to help the children learn, and also support children in free play to support imagination and social-emotional development. Our daughter has truly thrived here, and our baby boy will be starting in the caterpillar nursery soon. I honestly cannot recommend Smart Teenies enough

We can't thank the nursery enough for their incredible support, especially as new parents without extended family nearby. It was our first baby, and the staff went above and beyond to help us through the challenges. Our son now includes people from the nursery in every picture he draws - he just really enjoys his time there. We truly can’t imagine sending our second child anywhere else!
