Testimonial

“Smartpractice have been very supportive and helpful. Their expertise and knowledge of childcare has taken our nursery to a new level. All the staff and proprietor were given immense support throughout and a very thorough action plan was implemented. We were given support with Ofsted, EYFS, Safeguarding and best practice with additional support in business planning which was phenomenal!

The consultancy has been a huge asset to the nursery and to all the team. It definitely has proved money well spent from both a business and childcare prospective.”
