Smarties Private Day Nursery

Smarties is a kind a nurturing nursery! My eldest is now 7 and my youngest is 3 and is in the pre-school room there! I couldnt have asked for a better nursery to send my children to! We initially chose it based on a recommendation from a friend and Im so pleased we did! I love that its much smaller than lots of nurseries! I feel that the staff get to know the children so well - Im so confident dropping my son off, whether hes full of beans or crying (as we do still get both - although more of the first one now due to his age)! The staff work together brilliantly as a team and Gemma is the glue holding it all together! My children have both thrived during their time at smarties! Im keeping my son there until Foundation 2 as Im sure that hell do really well in the pre-school there as they start to learn more school-type skills. We have even kept his place there despite moving house, the extra journey time is well worth it! If youre not sure, ask for more information from Gemma and/or go for a visit, like we did! It really is a wonderful place

I love this nursery and so do my three children. The Nursery Manager Gemma really cares about the children and works well with parents and is always supportive. My childrens confidence and overall learning & development has grown so much since joining. The staff are amazing, with caring hearts. Staff communicate well and are always welcoming. The nursery is very clean with a lovely garden for outside play. The nursery has a resident cook who makes delicious meals from scratch so I know my children have eaten healthy and nutritious meals. They always come home with full tummies and are happy. The staff are committed to providing a safe, fun, and loving environment whilst also focusing on the childrens learning and development. I am very thankful for Smarties and I will miss this place dearly when my third child has to leave to start school. Please keep on with the amazing work that you ladies do :-)

My son attends pre-school at Smarties and has formed some lovely friendships there. The staff are attentive and friendly. Gemma, the manager, has been very understanding and supportive of my sons needs as a premature child who is a little behind his peers. He has come on leaps and bounds since starting at Smarties. Definitely recommend this nursery.

My daughter has attended Smarties Day Nursery for almost two years, and we have been very impressed with the care they have provided in this time. They plan engaging activities, lots of learning through play and will always ensure they spend some time outdoors. The nursery staff are kind, attentive and have taken the time to get to know my daughter and as a result she loves going in.

Smarties Private Nursery is one of the best nurseries in Mansfield. My son is always happy to go to nursery and has an amazing bond with all his key workers. Gemma the manager is a wonderful woman. She works so hard to make sure all the parents and children are happy. My son loves the garden and especially the mud kitchen area. When its hot weather he enjoys using the sprinkler. He is a very confident young boy and a lot of that is down to the staff. They keep me updated with his progress and even when I call to check up they are more than happy to help. I highly recommend Smarties as I will be sending my second son there very soon. They supportive. Caring. Very friendly. Its like a second family. A must visit!!
