We were unable to send our daughter to Smartie Artie but regret it. After initially making contact on here she has really gone above and beyond in trying to find a way around our specific barriers accessing childcare. I cannot rate the setting because we couldn't join but was so impressed with the communication standard that I think it merits a good review!

I couldn't recommend Vikkie enough. She is absolutely amazing and has such a friendly, caring personality that instantly puts both children and parents at ease.
My son absolutely loves the days he spends with her, especially all the outings and activities she takes the children on. It's wonderful to know he's having so much fun while learning and exploring new things.
One thing I really appreciate is the constant updates and photos throughout the day. They give me peace of mind and allow me to see all the lovely things my son is doing.
She has also been incredibly reassuring and supportive whenever I've felt anxious, always taking the time to answer questions and put my mind at ease. Knowing my son is in such safe, caring, and capable hands means so much to me.
We are so grateful to have found her, and I genuinely couldn't recommend her more highly.

My daughter has been going to Vickies setting for 7months now and she absolutely loves it there. Vickie has helped my daughter in so many ways I can’t thank her enough. I love how she has such an inviting home and I know my daughter loves attending. She always asks me when is it time to go see Vickie. 😍

We feel very fortunate to have found Vickie to look after our twin toddlers and have been with Smartie Arty Play for over a year now. I love that they’re constantly learning and having fun. Vickie is very observant with their individual needs and personalities, and often gives me advice based on what she has observed during the day. I love seeing the photos from their days, out and about just having a blast. As someone who doesn’t drive, the location is very convenient being near a tram stop.
The only downside is how sad they are to leave when I have to pick them up 😂
