Quite the most fabulous nursery ever, and our little girl totally loves it! Beautiful setting, wonderful play and facilities (completely outstanding/fantastic team, lovely food, high standards of care, and happy kids. Plus good value for money. We love Little Smarties and cannot recommend it highly enough.
