We looked at several local nurseries before selecting Happitots Day Nursery, based on how friendly, helpful and approachable the staff was. Our first daughter had a great time here and they now look after our second child too. I don't know where we would be without the manager and the team. Amazing!
Cannot recommend them enough, and we've tried.

I cannot praise the team at Happitots Day Nursery enough. Both of our daughters have attended the nursery (our eldest, has just started primary school and our 3 year old is still with the Happitots team.)
The management team are the best nursery managers that you could possibly find - they go above
and beyond to support not only the child but also the parents, something that we experience first hand on a weekly basis!
The entire team, from the Nest class right through to Pre-school are just fantastic. All of the Teachers know each child really well and provide a safe and supportive environment for the children to develop and shine. Our 3 year old daughter absolutely loves her time at pre-school and will regularly role play at home that she is one of her teachers, taking a lesson! The variety of activities has provided so much stimulation for our daughters and we've seen such an increase in self confidence in them both.
I am so grateful to the team and cannot recommend Happitots enough.

Happitots Day Nursery has been an incredible choice for our family, and I am thrilled to share that this is my second child attending this nursery. My elder child spent three wonderful years here, and I was thoroughly impressed with the care, learning, and preparation they received for school. The management
and staff are exceptional, providing a nurturing and stimulating environment that helps children grow in confidence and develop essential skills. From the Nest to Pioneer to Preschool stages, the team ensures a smooth progression tailored to each child's needs. Seeing the positive impact this nursery had on my elder child, I had no hesitation in enrolling my second child, and I am equally satisfied with their progress. Happitots Day Nursery truly goes above and beyond in fostering a love for learning and preparing children for their next steps in life. I wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a safe, supportive, and enriching environment!

Our daughter has been with Happitots Day Nursery since August 2024 in Nest and we couldn't be happier with the team and the nursery. Our daughter loves all her key workers and happily trots in every morning! Nothing is too much trouble and the team really make sure you are comfortable and that your
child is settled in and happy. Little touches like the Christmas carols, a present from Santa and making Christmas cards for the parents are really appreciated. Happitots is a very friendly and welcoming environment!

We are so thrilled with Happitots Day Nursery. Our eldest daughter has been there for 2 years and she loves going to nursery. There's a wide variety of activities for her to do, plenty of outdoor time, nice nutritious food and she has formed close bonds with her nursery teachers and the other children.
She has always been shy but has grown in confidence over her time there which has been lovely to see.
Our youngest daughter has just started in the baby room, and she has settled in well already, which is in huge part thanks to the wonderful caring staff.
Management are brilliant too. The nursery manager is so helpful and organised, and the central team are always so quick to respond when I email them with a question.
We are so grateful to all the staff at Happitots for providing such a fun, safe and caring environment for our girls.

Our son attended Happitots from the age of 9 months. From the beginning, the staff were friendly and helpful. They were also very understanding and reassuring to us with his milk and soya intolerances.
He flourished under their care and always enjoyed his nursery days. I would highly recommend Happitots
to anyone.

I love Happitots and so does my daughter. They provide a safe, fun and caring space for my daughter and I am very grateful for everything they do. Not only does she get to do fun activities but she learns so much! I have no doubt about her being ready for school because Happitots are doing such a great

Our daughter started Happitots in September, we loved the nursery on our very first visit. The staff are enthusiastic and passionate. They are always at hand to answer any questions or concerns we have.
We have seen a noticeable change in our daughter’s development. She is thriving, always eager to
tell us about her day and is constantly learning new things. The nursery offers preschoolers a range of daily activities, focalised topics preparing them for reception.
We receive regular updates on our daughter's daily activities and development through the app.
We are overall very satisfied with our experience!
Thank you to the manager and the rest of the staff.

Fabulous nursery. I had a good feeling after my first conversation with the manager of the nursery. I honestly only have positive things to say about this nursery and the wonderfully kind staff members. I feel absolutely no guilt dropping my little one off for a day here. I know he loves it (he even
says ‘yay’ in the car when we park up) and he always has a great day. Very grateful to the fabulous people at Happitots.

My daughter has been at Happitots for several months now. Leaving your first child at nursery is definitely a daunting experience, but I can look back now and say what a brilliant decision it was. My child is exceptionally looked after, she loves all her teachers and comes home happy every day. I feel
very lucky to have found Happitots and the exceptional staff there who obviously care about each and every child.
The staff provide great peace of mind with daily app updates allowing me to track sleeping, eating, nappies and key activities she gets up to each day. In addition, we get regular written updates every month or so that go into more detail about the child’s development and I’ve found this very valuable.
There seems to be a good standard around things like food, playground equipment, toys and books available etc. Most importantly though, I genuinely feel like my child is being looked after by kind and knowledgeable professionals who really care for her.

Our daughter started at Happitots Day Nursery back in July when she was 7 months old, I was extremely sad and anxious but we couldn't be happier with the experience! The manager, and the Nest team, especially one staff member, made the experience and transition into nursery life so easy. The staff
are amazing, so friendly and caring, and made sure not only that she settled in well but that I (as an emotional parent) coped ok! Our daughter absolutely loves her time there and is always full of smiles at drop off and collection. The app provides us with regular updates and pictures of her daily adventures which is so great to see, you don't feel that you have missed out on their day. I can not recommend them more! Thank you for providing her with a fun, loving environment making the return to work a less anxious process, we will be sad to leave when the time comes!

As soon as meeting the manager and the Happitots team, we knew our little girl (1 year old) would be in safe hands and flourish at this nursery. They did and continue to make us feel comfortable and part of the wider Happitots family. Our little girl loves going and seeing her teachers and friends.
She even eats and sleeps better than she does at home.

I was really nervous about my son starting nursery, but all the staff at Happitots made the transition really easy, and he's settled in so well. He loves his days at nursery and even wants to have more cuddles with the staff when we come to pick him up. It's really good knowing that he's happy there.
We're vegan, and the nursery has been so accommodating in making sure he's well provided for. We get photo updates on the app throughout the day, which really make our day, and it's lovely to see what activities he's getting up to. They do so many different activities, which all sound really exciting for the children.

Our daughter started Happitots at the start of September, and we couldn't be happier with the nursery! The staff are so friendly and caring. The manager and her team have been fantastic in putting both my daughter and us at ease - always available to call with any questions. My daughter also suffers
from seizures linked to high temperature - she had a sudden temp this week, which the team picked up so quickly and responsibly that we believe a seizure was prevented - something we are very grateful for. We love Happitots!

I was nervous about my twin girls starting nursery, but I knew as soon as I met the manager at Happitots that this was the nursery for us. My girls have integrated so well, and the nursery teachers have been amazing in trying to help me get them into a good routine. I have been really struggling with
weaning, especially with finger foods, but they have really helped bring the girls along. My favourite parts of the day include all my updates on the nursery app. The nursery updates pictures of what the girls are getting up to and what they have eaten etc.
The nursery teachers are warm and friendly and instantly put me at ease. It's not easy going back to work and leaving your baby, but Happitots have really made the return to work seamless for me. I couldn’t recommend them more.

From the first phone call I had to enquire about a place, I just knew this was the nursery for my daughter. Since starting at the beginning of November, the positive changes in both her character and development have been amazing. The staff are so warm and welcoming and are great at keeping parents
updated via the app throughout the day. You know you can always call should you have a question or issue and you know they’ll always be a cheery voice at the other end of the phone. I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough! Thank you for all you do and looking after our little ones with such care, love and warmth!

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.655)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.655) out of 10 for Happitots Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.872 for Happitots Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (136 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.872

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 4.783 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Happitots Day Nursery is based on 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 83 number of registered child places is 16.6. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 16.6 = 0.783

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
