Great childcare provider

Noemi and her colleague are great with children, my son has always been happy to go to Amy's Den. They provide detailed feedback about their day with pictures. They are flexible, friendly, creative and supportive.

An excellent safe creative & nurturing environme

We instantly liked Smile and Shine setting at our first viewing/visit having visited a few other settings.

My son attendedSmile and Shine from 10months- 3years so Mani and her brilliant team have played a significant role in his development. There’s lots to rave about with Smile and Shine, it’s actually difficult to find something I didn’t like.

First and foremost, it’s a loving environment with experienced practitioners who genuinely enjoy their job and care about the children.

Smile & Shine provide such a wide range of creative activities for the children and parents are regularly updated about how their child found the activities. The robust range of activities is great for children’s development and a great way to develop their interests outside of the home. Creative play is the best way children learn and it’s clear that this is what Smile & Shine prioritizes.

They offer personalized/ individual support and care for the children. I really felt like Mani and team know my child and offer him the right support for him, at his pace.

Mani builds a great relationship with the parents. Communication is excellent with regular updates and pictures as well as listening to parents. They also teach children about the world around them by taking part in a diverse range of celebrations from different cultures and backgrounds.

We love Smile & Shine so much that when we moved out of the area, we chose to keep our son there and do the 30mins commute when we had the option of a 10mins commute. It genuinely was a tough decision to leave Smile & Shine and our preference would have been for our son to stay but it was practically impossible due to move & change of work.
It’s rare to find a setting that ticks all the boxes with a good balance of structured/pre planned activities and free play. We had complete trust handing our son over to Mani & team care.

I highly recommend Smile and Shine.
