I currently have my third child at Happy Days Too Private Nursery and have had experience of children is every room. We have been delighted with our children's time spent in each and every room. The staff are so enthusiastic and genuinely care about the children. They always meet the kids at the door
with such happiness to see them and make them feel so welcome. My children have been exposed to so many amazing experiences at nursery. The outdoor space is second to none for nurseries in the area and having the park right next door gives the children a great place to visit. The food they are given is also great and my children have eaten things at nursery that they don't even consider eating at home. I have recommended Happy Days Too to everyone who asks for nursery recommendations and I would continue to do so even after my last child leaves. Thanks to all the staff for everything you do!

Happy Days Too Private Nursery is a fantastic nursery. Three of my children have attended the setting with one still in the 3-5 room. We have used the nursery from age 1 up and the care the boys received has been fantastic, the older two thrived and my youngest is happy to go and has made great connections
with the staff. They are friendly and patient and always let you know what's happening. Thank you Happy Days.

My son and daughter have been with Happy Days Too Private Nursery since 2022.
We are extremely pleased with the services provided - the staff are very friendly and my son and daughter have made lovely bonds in their respective rooms.
There are bi-yearly parents evening where you can visit the rooms
and speak to your child's key person and ask questions and hear how they are getting on.
The variety of food provided is excellent and children also get breakfast and snacks twice a day and they are outdoors as much as possible.
Overall I would have no hesitation in recommending Happy Days to family and friends.

Brilliant nursery. Staff are so kind and nurturing with the children, whilst also providing continuous education. I've had children at the nursery constantly over the past 4 and a half years and they've always bounced straight in. My youngest will join next year and I honestly couldn't imagine sending
them anywhere else.
The interior is regularly changed up, to keep kids engaged and they go outside every day, wind rain or shine! The outdoor spaces are excellent and provide excellent learning opportunities.
The food is also excellent, allowing kids to try new things in a supportive environment and developing their palates and knowledge of nutrition etc. The nursery is always very clean. Can't recommend Happy Days Too enough!

My son is so happy at Happy Days Too Private Nursery. He loves going to nursery and has formed a lovely bond with the staff. The environment is great and there are lots of learning opportunities (and lots of photo updates which I love). Couldn't recommend them more and fully trust them with my child!

I have one son who has attended since 2021, another since 2023 and another who will start August 2025.
I think this nursery is great. My sons both love their time here and have formed close relationships to the staff and their peers. They're always given food that they enjoy and have plenty of activities
throughout the day.
The staff have been a fantastic help when toilet training and have greatly assisted my eldest son's number and letter recognition and formation.

My daughter has attended Happy Days Too since June 2022 and we couldn't be happier with the nursery and the staff.
It's such a nurturing environment that my daughter has thrived in over the last few years. The activities are always varied, the food provided is good and I feel like all of the staff
really know my daughter and what she enjoys/doesn't enjoy and are helping her to progress and be ready for school.
I often recommend the nursery to other parents.

Both of my children have attended Happy Days Too (one is currently attending) and we have found it to be an excellent environment for them both. The staff knowledge and expertise in child development and transitions helped my eldest immeasurably and we have so appreciated their support. I know that
both of my kids have thrived there, with plenty of time outdoors, real care from the staff and lots of meaningful, developmentally appropriate and fun activities. I would highly recommend them as a nursery.

I have sent my two children to Happy Days Too Private Nursery from baby to school age. 2017-current year. They have both had an excellent experience, highest standards of nurturing during early years and then preparation for school. All carried out in the cleanest, homely environments possible with
happy smiling staff.
My daughter loves to pick up her younger brother from nursery as she still talks fondly of the staff and the nursery, she left 4 years ago.
Management and office staff work tirelessly behind the scenes, ensuring communication and planning alongside all parents is always carried out.
I will always appreciate how all the staff have kept my children safe and happy through their nursery journey.

I have both my boys at the nursery and the staff has been lovey and very helpful! They are always listening to any concerns I might have and have really helped both boys settle in.
The setting is perfect with loads of outdoor spaces and very well organised indoor classrooms.
Staff provide useful
feedback daily and comprehensive reports.
Would fully recommend!

My son has been attending Happy Days Too Private Nursery for the last two years. I can't recommend the setting enough.
Staff go above and beyond to support and care for the children. Currently a preschooler, my son has grown in confidence and is progressing well in his preparation for school.
Particular
mention to one staff member in particular in the preschool room who continually works hard caring for all the children. Lots of time is spent outdoors and the meals and snacks supplied are varied and enjoyed.
I would have no hesitation recommending this nursery to others.

My son has been at Happy Days Too since August 2023. He has thrived there, he barely even looks back at us as he runs in to see all the lovely staff. He talks about them and the other kids all the time and asks almost everyone morning if it is a nursery day. Not only is he very well looked after but
his vocabulary has become so extensive and I can see all the variety of activities they carry out have really helped with this. The staff keep us regularly updated throughout the day and post photos to parents on a private Facebook group most days. I would happily recommend Happy Days Too.

Very impressed with Happy Days Too Private Nursery. The staff are lovely and very professional. They take time to discuss your child at drop off and at pick up. The range of activities they do seems very broad and engaging. My son often comes home singing new songs and learnt the alphabet there. They
are always very responsive to changes in naps etc that I advise them of. I'm also impressed in the types of meals offered at lunchtime. Overall would highly recommend them to anyone.

Both my sons have attended Happy Days Too Private Nursery since they were 10 months old. The staff have been nothing but supportive throughout this time helping us with settling in, transitioning to new rooms/school and language/speech development. The staff are friendly and reliable - created bonds
with my children which is lovely to see. Would recommend this nursery to anyone looking for childcare in the area. Thanks.

Our first child was at Happy Days Too for 4 years and our second child is in his first of 4. Tremendous team, wonderful place. The facilities are top class. Any issues are dealt with properly. I can’t imagine there are many places doing it better.

My daughter has been going to this nursery since she was eleven months old and she is now nearly four. I cannot recommend the nursery enough as they do lots during the day including outdoor play to keep my energetic daughter going, the facilities are excellent and outside space and areas are impressive.
My daughter looks forward to going in and I have complete peace of mind leaving her there with the excellent team who look after her. The nursery keep us up to date with daily activities, including Facebook updates and her recent report card was very informative on progress against learning milestones for her age group. No hesitation in recommending this nursery to anyone.

Our 17-month-old son has been attending Happy Days Too 4 days a week for the last 4 months and we are absolutely delighted with the experience and care he receives while attending. He took only a couple of sessions to settle into the nursery and clearly now loves attending. My partner always gets a
detailed and relevant report from the nursery assistants each day. From the daily report and also photos on the secure website, it is clear that there are wonderful learning opportunities and that the children are in a secure and happy environment with great staff. I am so pleased that we chose this nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.921)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.921) out of 10 for Happy Days Too Private 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 57 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 57 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 4.921 for Happy Days Too Private Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (628 Excellents x 5) + (50 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 680 Ratings = 4.921

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Happy Days Too Private Nursery is based on 57 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 176 number of registered child places is 35.2, which has been reached with 57 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.

Hello.


My name is Lorraine and I am Nursery Manager at Happy Days Too.


I have 23 years experience in the early years sector and feel privileged to have played a special part in the lives of so many children and families over the years.


Since entering the profession, I have gained various early years qualifications including a BA Childhood Practice at Glasgow University. I have had great success managing excellent early years settings which have been commended by Care Inspectorate, local authorities and others in the sector.


I am passionate about providing a high quality service for children and families and understand the importance that early years experiences have on a child's future outcomes. Being a parent of two young children, I fully understand the significance of choosing an early years setting and strive to meet parents expectations through partnership working.


Ensuring that every child feels safe, secure and loved in the setting is key, in order to support children to meet their full potential. Positive relationships are at the heart of our practice to allow us to build trusting relationships with both children and parents.


I look forward to meeting you when you visit the nursery and hopefully join the Happy Days Too family.
