Welcome to Smartys Little Explorers, our beautifully designed 0–18 month baby setting located in The Bungalow.

Following an extensive, thoughtful, and carefully curated renovation, we are incredibly proud to open this bespoke 21-place environment created especially for our youngest children.

    Housed within a spacious single-storey bungalow, the setting benefits from an open-plan layout with high ceilings and abundant natural light streaming through large windows. This bright and airy space has been crafted to promote calmness, curiosity, and comfort throughout the day.

    We follow parent’s wishes as to where and when the babies sleep. We have a variety of cots, bouncers and sleep mats. We do not have set times for sleeping. Babies sleep as needed but also in line with their parents wishes.

    Our babies nappies are changed regularly throughout the day or whenever needed. The carers check the babies’ nappies regularly. Each child has their own box where we store your child’s own nappies, wipes and creams (we do ask for parents to provide these).

    Our babies are encouraged to explore and become mobile as they begin to cruise, crawl and walk around the rooms.

    To further support families, the setting also features its own private off-road car park, offering a safe and convenient space for drop-offs and collections.

    Outdoor learning and exploration sit at the heart of our approach. Children enjoy access to their own dedicated outdoor area, and we make regular use of our six-seater buggy to venture into the local environment—giving our little explorers meaningful opportunities to discover the world around them.

    Smartys Little Explorers operates with the same extended hours as our other settings: Monday to Friday, 7:30am – 6:00pm, 52 weeks of the year, closing only for public bank holidays. We are delighted to welcome families into this very special space and look forward to creating the earliest, happiest memories for your little one.
