About Smarties Nursery
Smarties was founded in 1989 by Annie Silcock, a qualified teacher, with a commitment to provide the highest standard of care and education. The Smartcare holiday club followed in 1997 and continued with the same ethos. Annie continues to be involved in the nursery daily and also has a consultancy which sets up outstanding nurseries or improves outcomes for existing ones.
