Classroom Facilities

Smart Kids is located within a purpose-built setting. All rooms have been designed to provide each child with the best possible opportunity to learn and play to their greatest potential.

All rooms have direct access to areas of core provision, including Messy Play, Small World and Book Corner. Children’s individual interests are supported through planned activities within each area. The children also have the ability to make their own choices, building upon their independent skills by having access to an extensive range of resources.

Alongside direct washroom facilities, all children have access to outdoor areas and provision. The building also houses a Drama Room which hosts its weekly drama sessions as well as end of term and Christmas productions.

Our Results Speak for themselves!

During Parents Evening in November 2017, Smart Kids undertook a parental questionnaire to ensure that its high standards were being met. The following results were obtained.
