City of London Corporation
Smithfield House is affiliated with the City of London Corporation — the local authority for the Square Mile and one of London's most distinctive civic institutions.
The City of London Corporation supports early years provision in the area through initiatives including COLTALE (City of London Talks and Listens Enthusiastically), which Smithfield holds as an accreditation →. Our connection to the City is longstanding, and it reflects something we believe strongly: that a nursery should be genuinely part of the community it serves — not just located in it.

St Bartholomew's Hospital
Our nursery sits immediately adjacent to St Bartholomew's Hospital, and many of the families we care for work there. While there is no separately formalised partnership agreement in place, the connection is a long-standing and valued part of the community Smithfield serves — read more about our setting and location →.
