Opened in 2010, West Drayton Day Nursery (formerly known as Happy Tree Nursery) has become a firm favourite with parents working at both Stockley Park and Heathrow alike.

The nursery is ideally located just four minutes from M4 Junction 4, West Drayton Day Nursery is a purpose-built nursery accommodating 97 children in four age-appropriate rooms across two floors.

They believe that the children are at the centre of all that they do. They are child-centred and believe that children should play an active part in their learning. They teach children through play and incorporate British Values.

They work in partnership with parents who they believe are their main carers.

The nursery is welcoming and supports a sense of belonging. They understand the diverse needs of the children. Children are listened to and are encouraged to participate in their education and care. All teachers are expected to attend ongoing training which is provided by the nursery's accredited training centre.

Outdoor activities in the garden are encouraged all year round and the children are taken on regular outings to local parks, libraries and places of interest.

My son joined the nursery in January 2022 and until now he is happy to go to it. He learned a lot of new things and the staff supported him during all this time.
Thank you Happy Tree Nursery - West Drayton staff for all your help and support and for making the nursery a nice experience for my son.

My daughter joined the nursery in January 2023 and she is so happy to go to school. She is learning new things everyday and getting feedback with pictures of the children is the excellent part of the nursery. The nursery makes sure that they inform what she did and she ate in the nursery which is really
very brilliant idea.

Happy Tree Nursery educated the children very well. They are doing very good activities according to the season, and they are respecting all cultural activities. They are following what parents are requesting. My daughter went to Happy Tree Nursery, and now she is going to school; she is very good at
school. Now my son is going to Happy Tree Nursery. He improved his communication skills and knowledge of different seasons and different culture. When he comes home, he always talks about what he did in the nursery. I am so happy that I sent my both children to the nursery. A big thank you to all teachers and managers. If you are looking for a nursery place for your children, please do not wait; call and send your children to Happy Tree Nursery.

Thank you, Happy Tree Nursery! It was a lovely journey with you. Previously, my son joined another nursery, but I was not happy with their service, and then my son joined 'Happy Tree Nursery'; the staff was brilliant and accommodating.
My son joined them in September 2021 until January 2023.
Being
first-time parents, we need all the support from the nursery; Happy Tree was very nice and helped me whenever I needed them.
Thank you so much! Keep up the good work!

Happy Tree in West Drayton is a great nursery. My daughter really enjoyed attending it since Jan 21. The staff is well trained and very experienced. Especially my child's keyworker was exceptional. My daughter and her really created a bond. She was always happy when I collected her from the nursery
and she really developed herself further there. Furthermore, despite having a difficult parental situation, the staff handled this quite well.

Happy Tree nursery.
Staff are very well trained and supportive. My daughter has had an amazing experience and have learned so much from them
They never gave up to try and bring my daughter out of her shell and she is very shy around adults.
Thank you Happy Tree staff for making nursery an amazing
experience for my daughter.

Me and my husband would like to say thank you to Happy Tree for being so nice, so delicate, so kind towards my daughter. I have seen a big change in my daughter. She has started her nursery with happy tree in September 2021 and after that we have seen beautiful changes in my daughter. She started speaking
in sentences, and started expressing her desires and all. A big thanks to staff for being so nice and always worked on communication skills of my daughter. One has always being favourite of my daughter. A big thanks to the manager and her team. The manager has always been very welcoming and always gave us time whenever we required her. Parents please go and select Happy Tree for your kid. Me and my husband will always be grateful to Happy Tree. My daughter is so happy there. She always loves going there. When required Happy Tree welcomed my daughter for additional hours when we parents were so occupied with our work. It is very hygienic and food quality is you can trust.

Our daughter has been attending this nursery since last year. She has always been emotional and tearful when we separated. I was very worried about placing her in the nursery at first. However, after meeting with the nursery head teacher and getting all my questions answered I was happy to sign my daughter
up. I'm glad I did. My daughter now often forgets to say goodbye to me when we are arriving at the nursery doorstep. She is happy to be there and looks forward to each day to see her teachers and friends. Our first language is not English so for my daughter who understood English well, speaking wasn't something that came naturally to her; now she not only speaks well with our foreign friends in English but also sings songs she has learned in the nursery. I would highly recommend Happy Tree Nursery - West Drayton to everyone. Your child will be very well looked after, safe and loved. Thank you!

I can't recommend this nursery enough, my daughter has always been difficult with being away from us and the staff and management at Happy Tree Nursery - West Drayton went above and beyond for my daughter. I can't thank them enough for all the work they have done with my daughter. Such amazing and caring
staff who have made my daughter so confident.

My son went to this nursery for the best part of the year and it was the best nursery around hands down. The staff are extremely helpful with us parents and children. My son had the best time and was always excited to go back the next day, he has learnt so many new things at this nursery. I will be
sending my daughter here 100%.

My daughter started at six months old. The staff always cared for her so well, got to know her and without a doubt have had a huge influence on her development for which we are extremely grateful. We always felt involved in her care and the regular updates throughout the day help with getting an insight
into what she was up to! Highly recommend.

Great nursery with nice premises and outdoor area. The staff is extremely caring and lovely. My two sons attended from about eighteen months to reception, they both very much enjoyed it and had a wonderful time here. Food and menus are also amazing, very balanced and everything cooked and baked on-site.

Delighted with this nursery - our son enters happy and leaves happy. The nursery makes excellent use of the ParentLink app so that we can track his meals, sleep as well as recording his learning progress and even see photos of what he is doing. He is learning so much at Happy Tree and the staff all
seem to have genuine interest and affection for him. The management and staff are extremely accommodating and flexible and put in a huge amount of effort to create an individual service.

Absolutely loved this nursery for my daughter. She has come on leaps and bounds and has been very well prepared for Primary School. All of the carers are really nice and are really committed to the children. The food choices are very varied and nutritious.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery
and will be sad when she has to leave.

I am really impressed with this nursery, the way they included us in my grandson's learning and gave us opportunities to join in activities was very exciting. My grandson has developed such a rich vocabulary and uses 'let me think' a lot when I ask him something he does not know.

The nursery prepared him very well for school. He settled in quickly and formed friends and I could hear him talking about the 'rules' they discussed at nursery, in terms of being nice to each other.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.876)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.876) out of 10 for West Drayton 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 43 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 43 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 4.876 for West Drayton Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (450 Excellents x 5) + (57 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 510 Ratings = 4.876

  • 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 West Drayton Day Nursery is based on 43 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 97 number of registered child places is 19.4, which has been reached with 43 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.
