Aged 1 I moved my daughter from a much larger 'franchise' nursery into Smile and Shine, as I disliked the impersonal and somewhat bureaucratic experience of the larger setting. Smile and Shine was everything that the larger nursery wasn't - an incredibly warm, safe, homely and comforting experience for both my daughter and us as first time parents, with the typical nerves around leaving a child in someone else's care.

Mani has incredible attention to detail around each child under her care. She gets to know and understand the children
as if they are her own, and she and her team provide thorough daily feedback which reassures any parent that their child is being well looked after.

Over the past two years, my daughter has developed from a non-walking barely talking baby, and she has grown into a socialised, confident and bright girl, nurtured, developed and stimulated under Smile and Shine's programmes.

I would highly recommend Smile and Shine to any parent, Mani and her team are truly dedicated and lovely people, there is nothing I would have wished to change about our experience.
