What Our Parents Say
Testimonials
My daughter has made excellent progress since starting at Smiley Bedfordview and she is always happy to come to school. Staff are very friendly and approachable and I feel very supported – communication is excellent. I’m so glad I have found this Brilliant school 🥰
Just a special thank you to the entire staffing team at Smiley. We have been fortunate enough to have a +9 year connection with the school. 1st with Allyssa and then Liam. Your school has given dad and I the most precious unforgettable memories – from the principle all the way to Sophie (the cook).Thank you for your patience, every tear you wiped, every hand you held, lessons you taught, stories you told, nursery rhymes, consoling our little ones, teaching them to love, and be kind. For all the thoughtful words that instilled discipline and pride. For all the concerts that made me weep with joy, but mostly for being the ultimate replacement caregiver.To teacher Patricia over and above all accolades listed you have been Liam’s inspiration. I have seen him blossom and take flight under your care and I am humbled – thank you, thank you, thank you! I know that this has been a particularly challenging year for you and would like you to know that you have been in our thoughts and prayers. May God continue to bless your precious heart. I am certain that you will continue to humble many future parents.With all my heart
