Smile & Shine Nursery

My son was the first child Smile and shine ever had. He was 18 months when he started but having known Mani prior to this, I had no doubt that my precious baby would be looked after extremely well. Even though he was the first child, the setting was made ready as if it was for 9-10 kids. It was beautifully set upand all thorough procedures in place which made me feel at ease and confident in my decison. Within a few weeks Smile and Shine was full and its reputation perceded itself.My son attended 5 days a week from 8 amtill 6 pm. Long hours for any child one would think, but my son never wanted to come back home and looked forward to going to Smile and shine every morning. I had to drive for just over 2 years , half hour atleast each way from swiss cottage to Finchley and back but it was worth it.The love , care and attention my son received from Mani and her lovely staff has been immensely appreciated and have laid a solid foundation for my son to thrive in new environments with confidence. He was able to secure a place in the school, Devonshire house quite easily and was successful in the assessments they laid out. He has grown into a confident, happy and a very witty young boy and I give a lot of credit to Mani and Smile and shine for encouraging him to grow and develop into such a wonderful and well turned out individual.Even though its been a year since he left , he still likes to go back during school holidays to spend time in Smile and Shine.Highly recommend Smile and shine to anyone who wants a great start for their child.Its a truly magical, nurturing, educational, fun and super professional setting which has been awarded with an outstanding status in all categories.The proof is in the pudding. All the people I recommended Smile and Shine to, are so grateful and very happy, because they can see their little ones blossoming.Great facilities, indoor and amazing outdoor space. Plenty of hands on play and activities to encourage and facilitate learning for bright young minds.Would recommend again and again and again!

Wonderful care, fantastic start for any child that attends Smile and Shine, can't recommend more highly.

Smile and Shine first took care of my son in September 2019 kindly offering ad hoc childcare until I was more settled on my return to work and could confirm a regular childcare plan. My son has thrived in Mani and her teams care and has been very understanding and accommodating to every challenge the current pandemic we have faced as working parents and has proved to have the children in their cares best interests at heart throughout, suggesting activites, regular check ins via whats app and zoom calls. Our situation has changed and the location of smile and shine is no longer a viable childcare option for us and we have had to source in another area. I would not hesitate to recommend Mani & her team at Smile and Shine and completely agree with the outstanding ofsted certification they hold. Thank you again for taking such good care of our son.
