This is a great local nursery for us. Our child takes part in loads of activities, different things throughout the day and there are lots of special days throughout the year to celebrate traditions and different customs, which is important for the diverse range on children that attend the nursery here.
Our child is cared for and clearly enjoys being at nursery and has connected with all the staff which is great to see.

Our daughter started at Happitots 10 weeks ago and has settled in really well. She does 2 days a week and has really taken to her new routine. All the staff have been fantastic and she is becoming really fond of some of them already.
For the first few drop-offs, there were a few tears (from me as well
as our daughter) but the staff really reassured me and was happy for me to call as much as I needed. Fast forward 10 weeks and my daughter will willingly go for a cuddle with members of staff and waves goodbye to me.

Highly recommend. Very polite staff and so helpful. The manager is always there to help. Always kept me updated. My son settled in fairly quickly. The staff put in extra effort to make my son comfortable.
I really appreciate the hard work. Thank you so much.

Some of the words I wrote for daughter’s graduation. Special credit goes to the manager who is exceptional!
“Where else would you find a Nursery Manager who is also a qualified Elf?
Teachers, who perform on their guitars or Saxophones during Golden time?
Or productions that would keep any well-known
West End composer on top of their game?
Ofsted taught us this year that the nursery we chose was 'outstanding'. And they are right.
I know I am not the only parent who has also experienced the staff going above and beyond to help support our children's happiness and development and want to say thank you.
So today, I am sure other parents join me in feeling sad that soon we will leave Happitots, however, I realised that they go to school ready and excited because of the experience they have had at pre-school, which has taught them learning is fun and teachers are caring and kind. I also know that this nursery is a family, and it's one we'll always be part of.
So thank you, you are all outstanding.

We moved our twins to Happitots preschool in May 2018 from another local nursery.
Both children settled in straight away and we’ve never had any concerns about leaving them.
Our son has additional needs and the care and support we have received from all the staff but especially the SENCO has been
outstanding.
Our children start school in September and both are fully prepared due to transition work at Happitots.
We have no doubt that our son is going to the educational setting he is because of the help and support he receives at Happitots.
They have been there every step of the way advising us what is best for both of our children.
We can not thank them enough.

My daughter who is now three, has attended Happitots since she was a baby until she was two. She absolutely loved going to nursery and misses it even now. The staff are so friendly and I could not recommend them enough. She was always happy when I dropped her off and when I picked her up. There are
a lot of outdoor activities which my little one enjoyed.
I would happily recommend this daycare and dearly miss it.

My daughter has been going to Happitots since October 2017 and she absolutely loves it. She instantly settled in a couple of days and looks forward to going there every day which is the most important thing for me as a mother. The staff are lovely and always ready to help. The regular updates and observations
on the parent zone app is a great addition to have!

Following our son starting school this year, we cannot thank Happitots enough for their support, guidance and teachings in his early years. They have helped to provide essential skills that have been noticed by our son’s current teachers. The caring environment of Happitots has given our son great foundations
and confidence for his new educational journey.
Our daughter currently attends the preschool and we can already see the brilliant effect that Happitots is having on her development. The staff’s interaction with the children is fantastic and they are always welcoming, friendly and positive. It is clear to see that the staff truly care for the children and I couldn’t recommend Happitots highly enough.

My youngest Granddaughter who is now 2, has attended Happitots since she was a baby. She is a happy little girl and loves going to nursery. The staff are very attentive and caring. My Granddaughter attends nursery 3 mornings a week.
My eldest Granddaughter who is now at school attended the pre-school
where she developed and learned ready for the step up to school.
The staff were brilliant and could not recommend them highly enough.

We are 100% happy with Happitots. Our son is always happy from what we see on the portal and his development is obvious from what we see at home. He loves the staff - especially the male member of staff - and my wife and I think having a male member of staff is great as it gives our son a male influence.

Happitots is an excellent nursery. My daughter attends 4-5 days/week and always comes home saying she's had 'lots and lots of fun'! The staff are all friendly and professional, they engage with the children and involve them in lots of developmental activities.

My daughter has been at Happitots for nearly three months now and she loves it. The staff are all really caring and you can see that they genuinely love the children and really take pride in their jobs. Helping the children to learn and explore. They do lots of activities and even learn some French
(before she's even talking.) She regularly comes home in different clothes, usually the sign of a good day playing in sand/water/garden and she is always happy and full of smiles when I drop her off and pick her up. Would happily recommend to anyone.

Our son has been at Happitots Day Nursery for 10 months now and is very happy there! He is excited when we drop him in the morning and wants to stay and play when I come to collect him. The staff always communicate with us if they have any questions and when they felt he was ready for a change. I feel
that sending our son to nursery has greatly supported his social development. I never worry about leaving our son as I know he is happy and safe.

My daughter has been attending this nursery for the last 2 and a half years. The staff here are amazing and always go the extra mile for the children. The food is cooked on site fresh each day by the nurseries own cook. I am genuinely impressed by the commitment the staff have. My daughter loves the
french lessons and great little movers. She always has a great time and some days doesn't want to come home when I pick her up because she has so much fun at nursery!

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.
