Our daughter has loved coming to Happy Days for over two years. She has good relationships with staff and is always happy to come in in the mornings and is happily playing when I pick her up. My son has just started at the nursery at 10 months. He was given lots of settles to ensure that when he started
he was comfortable with his environment . He has recently started and after the initial first day shock, he quickly settled and has been soo happy and playful. The staff have always let me know the information I needed and were always happy to speak to me when I phoned to check on him. I am also really enjoying the new parent app where I can see all about there day! I especially love seeing photos of him enjoying himself.
A lovely nursery and pre school filled with trustworthy, friendly and approachable adults.
Thanks so much!

The nursery has great facilities & has a welcoming atmosphere. The staff are always so friendly, greeting us as we enter & leave which adds to the positive experience. Any issues/concerns we may have are dealt with promptly and taken seriously. We love the app that allows us to see how he is doing here
- although would love more regular updates. All-in-all it is a lovely nursery & we feel our child is learning a lot. What would make it even better is if there were 'halal' food options.

Our daughter has had the most wonderful care and experience since starting at Happy Days nursery. She has experienced so much from explorative play with sand and animals to a variety of different foods for lunch and dinner. I am so happy to leave her every time as I know that her key workers and all
nursery staff have her best interests at heart. I would recommend it to anyone.

We have used Happy Days Nursery for years with our eldest son, then when our second son was born, we knew we wanted him to have the same caring and engaging experience so we went back. The setting as a whole is calm and welcoming, the staff are caring and genuine, they know us all by name. We were offered
numerous settling sessions to make sure the transition went smoothly and put my mind at rest so I could return to work with confidence. Also we had the chance to have the same key worker as we had with our first son, she has a wealth of knowledge and experience that I trust. I would highly recommend Happy Days to any parents looking at nurseries for their little ones.

Ever since I came to see the nursery I have loved it, it was perfect for my two children. The staff are incredible, affectionate and very kind, always with a smile on their face. As for the place, it is quite spacious, tidy and accessible. They do a lot of activities and we are always informed of everything
that happens with our children. The food is fantastic, the smells always reach the entrance. Quickly defining, everything is magnificent. Amazing!

My son has been attending Happy Days Nursery & Preschool since he was about 9 months old and is now going to be 4 years old. He has always enjoyed his time at nursery and is always excited to go and see all his friends and all the staff that look after him. Lots of the staff most importantly his key
person have always gave him so much of their care, time and attention and always keep us up to date on his day and how he's been whilst at nursery.

So much love for Happy Days Nursery & Preschool! Our daughter, who is now 4, joined Happy Days 2 years ago (after bad experiences at another nursery) and the whole team were so welcoming, thorough, kind and caring from the moment we started our settle sessions. Every member of staff we have spoken to
have been happy, joyful, kind, caring and so supportive. Our son, who is now nearly 2, started at around 12 months old. He found being apart from me very challenging at first and it was a really difficult time as I had no choice but to return to work after maternity leave. I had much needed hugs, tear wiping and support from various members of staff and they all bent over backwards to help settle my son into the new routine. I thought he'd never cope with nursery, but now, a year on he walks in smiling and happy (and usually makes a beeline for breakfast!). Our children are happy and they both lean in for cuddles and comfort from the staff, which to me, is the biggest telling factor for how good Happy Days is.

The nursery has been supporting my son, who has autism, and they go above and beyond on their support. He started in April 2024 and the improvements are visible day by day. He enjoys going to the nursery.

I am beyond happy with the choice I made to send my child to Happy Days. From the first visit and look around, I just knew it was the nursery for us! My child is kept safe, cared for and supported. Over the years the care and support has extended to me too, to which I am very grateful for. Nothing is
too much trouble- they are amazing at reassuring my parental anxieties. My child absolutely loves going to nursery and has built secure relationships with staff.

I have been really pleased with care given to my daughter and the support given to us as a family when getting used to the world of nurseries. My daughter loves being at nursery, she gets excited about going into the car park which I have no doubt is down to the teams hard work in making her feel safe,
nurtured and fun. My daughter has been learning loads and it really is lovely to see her flourishing (which I have no doubt the nursery team contribute to).
I feel my daughter is very cared for and safe, even when she's slightly under the weather I know the team are making her feel safe and secure so thank you for that!
