A beautiful new children’s shop has arrived in Nailsworth, bringing youthful exuberance, imagination, and enchantment to the town centre.
Owner Helena Townley opened Little Smartipants in Market Street recently following a lifelong love of dolls’ houses, fairies, imagination, and all things magical, the shop is designed to inspire children aged 0–10 through creativity, play, and storytelling.
Bursting with colour, charm, and enchantment, the boutique offers a carefully selected range of gifts, toys, and imaginative treasures including tutus and dress-up accessories, puppets and storytelling toys, necklaces and children’s jewellery, angel wings and fairy-inspired gifts, skillmatics educational games, felt creatures and handmade characters, magical keepsakes and imaginative play items.
The vision behind the store is simple: to create a magical space where childhood imagination can flourish.
In a world increasingly focused on screens and technology, the shop brings families back to the joy of hands-on play, creativity, and wonder — encouraging children to dream, explore, and create magical memories.
Located in the heart of Market Street, the shop has already begun capturing the attention of local families looking for unique gifts and meaningful experiences for young children.
With its whimsical displays, enchanting atmosphere, and carefully curated collection, the shop offers more than shopping — it offers a return to the magic of childhood.
“I’ve always loved dolls’ houses, fairies, and all things magical,” said Helena. “Creating this shop has been about bringing that feeling of wonder and imagination to children and families. I wanted to create a place where magic still exists and where childhood can truly be celebrated.”
The boutique welcomes visitors of all ages to step inside, explore, and rediscover a little childhood magic.
