From the Smarties Nursery and Pre-school
In Meols, West Wirral, Smarties is a tiny, pleasant childcare facility that mimics a family environment. While you are at work, we want to recreate the safe and comfortable home environment that promotes kids to study, play, and grow. There are numerous tools and organised activities available to accommodate your child's evolving interests.
We provide Caterpillars Nursery for children aged 0 to 2; Butterflies Nursery for children aged 2-3; and Pre-school for children aged 3 to 4 under the direction of a licenced Early Years Teacher. Siblings who attend Great Meols Primary and are of school age are also provided with wraparound care.
Register by April to prevent disappointment because our spaces are reserved for 12 months, from September to August.
We're open 51 weeks out of the year and are closed on bank holidays.
Please take some time to look around our website and discover more about Smarties, our philosophy, and our lovely nursery. We welcome all inquiries and look forward to providing your child with high-quality care and a welcoming atmosphere for their growth and learning.
