We have sent our daughter to Smithfield since she was 3 months old, starting in January 2024. She has progressed from part-time initially to full-time, and from one of the smallest babies to one of the bigger ones in the room! One of the reasons we chose the Smithfield initially was because of the different rooms that they have, with a dedicated sleep room for the babies. Overall, we have been absolutely delighted with her care at Smithfield. She is so happy to go and play everyday, and we have every confidence that she will be well taken care of and stimulated. The range of activities they do is amazing, and we love getting the updates and photos via the Famly app. We are moving her only because we moved house and the commute is too much for her, but we are so sad to be leaving. We really cannot speak highly enough of the team and nursery, and would recommend them without reservation. We'll miss you!

Our son went to the nursery two days a week for the last 8 months in preparation for starting in the reception class at his school. Janet, Julie, Shima and the rest of the team made us completely welcome and feel like part of an extended family, despite our son only attending part time. It's an extremely professional, highly welcoming place. Our son always looked forward to his days there. We were entirely happy with the care and range of activities and food provided, and we appreciated the daily feedback we received about his behaviour and development. There were also several occasions when our son's nanny was on holiday or ill, and we asked the nursery for additional days at short notice. We were very impressed by their flexibility in trying to accommodate us, which they were able to do on the vast majority of days when we asked for additional help. Overall, this is a fantastic nursery, centrally located and staffed by real professionals who our son loved spending time with.

I am now using Smithfield House for my second child. My family had a great experience first time around so I had no hesitation in contacting them again. Even although seven years have past since we were last there, it was lovely to be greeted as if I had only been away a couple of weeks! That same family feel and warm welcome was still there, it was like a big warm hug! My daughter who is 2.5 years zoomed into the room and settled instantly. The staff really do their homework to make sure that they had activities that my daughter likes and could talk about her big brother, so everything seemed familiar to my daughter. My son was so ready for school when he left and I have no doubt that my daughter will experience the same. I would recommend this nursery to everyone, they are truly amazing! They have added an App since I was last there which is great. I can see what my daughter has been doing, what she has eaten etc and I can contact her key-worker during the day if I need too, AMAZING!!!

Thank you so much for your kind words. It is great to have you and the family back with us again. I can't quite believe how much little man has grown! We look forward to watching little lady develop and grow into a confident pre-schooler ready for her next journey into full-time education.
Janet & the Team
My little one is attending Smithfield House Children Nursery since September. I have to say that after a very bad experience in the previous nursery I was very sceptical to find a good nursery for my 3 years old daughter.
But this is by far the BEST nursery ever!!!
All staff have a very caring nature and are approachable. Everyone at the Smithfield House Children Nursery from catering, to management, to staff everyone is providing such an excellent support for both children and parents.
This nursery is superb and I'm so pleased I chose this environment for my daughter. The staff and management are fantastic and they clearly love their jobs. The attention to detail and love that my daughter receives is so comforting to me that I would have no hesitation in recommending this nursery to friends and family.
The nursery is absolutely amazing. This is a real cocoon for the children, like a family!
Childcare, activities and communications with parents are top quality when you compare with other regular nurseries. It will be very tough for my daughter and I to leave this wonderful cocoon when time for the reception year comes.
Thank you so much for making both my child and I so happy and comfortable with I am thrilled with my child's progress during their time at Smithfield House Children Nursery The amount of different activities you provide is excellent. I love the text message system. Thank you for all the hard work you put into each day.
Thank you for making my child feel happy, safe and secure.
We are pleased to be part of the family !!

Dear Raissa
Thank you so much for your kind words. I am blessed to have a team that is so committed to their roles. It is an honour and pleasure to care for little lady, her confidence grows every day as she builds strong relationships with her carers and peers. We are so pleased to have you both as part of our Smithfield family x
Kindest regards
Janet
My almost 4yo son spent a year at Smithfield house while his parents were studying in London. It is such a wonderful place, with the kindest and most loving staff in every position. He did not speak any English upon arrival but found it very easy to communicate from the first day and learned a lot of English throughout the year. The food was always good, variety of things to do and lot of creative playing with colours, shapes, drawings etc. For people working or studying in central London, the location is perfect and the facilities were always clean and up to the highest hygienic standards. Communication with staff was flawless and they took such good care of our son.

We couldn't be happier with our decision to enroll our children at Smithfield House Children's Nursery. From the moment they started attending at the ages of 3.8 and 1.2, our little ones settled in quickly. One aspect that truly sets the nursery apart is the dedication of its staff. The practitioners go above and beyond to organize interesting and engaging activities for the children on a daily basis, which fosters their skill development and sparks their interests. Our son has developed a deep bond with his carers and looks forward to going to the nursery every morning with pure enthusiasm. Our daughter has made remarkable progress, including learning English over a short period. Thank you, Smithfield Nursery, for being an exceptional place for our children to learn, grow, and flourish.

Our 20 month old daughter has been attending Smithfield House for a year now and we could not be more satisfied with the care she’s received. The carers are not only supremely qualified but every one of them treats our daughter with the same amount of love and attention she is used to at home, it’s no wonder she is always in such a great mood when we drop her off and pick her up. The environment is always so calm, pleasant and familial and our daughter’s days are kept so busy and diversified. 100% recommend!!!

Our daughter joined Smithfield Nursery in June 2022 at 8 months old and the ladies working in the baby room made it so easy for both us and our daughter to settle into nursery. Our daughter loves everyone there and is thriving with all of the amazing activities they arrange for them and has made so many friends. She comes home and has learnt something new daily and it's all thanks to this nursery!

Smithfield House Children’s Nursery is our baby’s second home. Everyone is so caring and warm, that it feels like he’s being taken care of by family. The administration is stellar - everything is done exactly right and the responsiveness is immediate. We couldn’t have asked for more!
