From the Smiles
Children from 6 weeks old to 11 years old may get exceptional childcare at Smiles' two locations, one in Norton's picturesque gardens and the other in Billingham's wonderful forest environment. Smiles is a multi-award-winning daycare. We take great delight in creating a lovely atmosphere where every kid may develop. The preschool years, in our opinion, are crucial in a child's development. Our staff of early childhood educators is fantastic; they have a wealth of experience and expertise and are dedicated to giving all of our kids the best possible care and education. We collaborate closely with parents and other caregivers because we think that fostering healthy relationships and content children is best done in a partnership. There is no requirement for appointments for visitors, so feel free to show up whenever suits you. The true ambience of the place can only be felt by visiting the nursery and observing everyone at work.
