Angie W
The best childcare settling! We absolutely loved Smile & Shine from the very first moment we went to see it. Mani has such a fantastic attention to detail and commitment to creating the best environment for the children. Our son attended from 11 months until 4 years and has now gone straight to reception at school. He truly loved going to Mani’s every day, and he learned so much. The setting is like a home from home but also has all the elements of a nursery setting with plenty of space, activities and room for the children to develop and grow. Mani always helped us along the way with all the various phases they go through, this meant our son really had the most stable and consistent care throughout these early years. I believe Mani to be a truly fantastic and dedicated professional who really goes the extra mile for the children. We have so many happy memories at the setting and I would recommend this nursery to everyone.

We will follow Mani wherever she goes! The care she provides is exceptional. Our son loves attending her setting and has flourished there due to her incredible warmth, skill and teaching expertise.
Candice
Our daughter started at Smile and Shine when she was 13 months old after the first lockdown. She took to the setting and staff immediately and settled in very quickly. Our daughter’s development has excelled during her time there: she is happy, curious, confident, outspoken, loves messy play, animals, dancing and sport. She toilet trained easily at the age of 2 and 3/4 with lots of support from Smile and Shine. She makes friends easily and loves going to Smile and Shine - on her days off she sometimes asks if she can go in! It’s a home away from home. Mani and her team are caring, loving, communicative, experts in understanding child behaviour and emotions. I couldn’t recommend Smile and Shine highly enough.
