OFSTED Report

Housed within a spacious double-storey property, the environment benefits from an open-plan layout and carefully considered design. The bright, airy rooms and calming colour palettes have been chosen to promote a sense of zen—helping children to feel settled, confident, and ready to explore the thoughtfully curated activities and resources available each 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.

Our children enjoy an extensive range of outdoor facilities designed to extend learning beyond the classroom. The dedicated outdoor area encourages independence, exploration, and curiosity through rich and meaningful play experiences. We are also proud to offer a fully enclosed outdoor classroom, enabling children to enjoy the benefits of outdoor play in all weathers and throughout the year.

To further support families, the setting features its own private off-road car park, ensuring safe and convenient drop-offs and collections. Smartys Little Stars operates the same extended hours as our wider provision: Monday to Friday, 7:30am – 6:00pm, 52 weeks a year, closing only for public bank holidays.

We are delighted to welcome families into this very special setting and look forward to creating some of the happiest and most memorable early experiences for your little one. We also have excellent relationships with our own pre-school settings and those beyond our group, ensuring children are fully supported with their transitions and next steps.
