My 14-month-old daughter started at HappyWoods Nursery in January 2019 and I am so pleased we chose this setting. She previously attended a nursery with separate baby and toddler provision but she was very unhappy there as she wasn’t stimulated enough. The staff are so kind and caring that she settled
in really well and now loves going to nursery. I think having a mixed age group room works brilliantly and makes my daughter really confident in making new friends/playing with children of different ages.


Staff have been very understanding and supportive of our many phone calls and emails and have been very helpful in providing advice to us as first-time parents.


The garden is a really good size and they take the kids on visits to local places and also have people come in - my daughter loved meeting a policeman.


They update parents on progress using an app so you can see pictures and a description of what your child has been doing. We LOVE this!

Very pleased and feel very lucky to have my child going to this nursery.
Whatever they provide for the children from activities and education, physical development, language development, it's just number one.
Staff are very friendly. The nursery is very clean, the thing is, every child matters to
them. Will definitely recommend this nursery to all the parents out there.

My child has enjoyed his time at Happy Woods Nursery since the first day he stepped in. He has been attending for over a year now and I cannot stop complimenting them for all their great and outstanding work. The team goes beyond to maximize your child's potential as well as targetting the areas they
need help with and the results are amazing. They are very friendly which makes it easy for parents to raise any concerns or issues they might have. My child has learnt so much and even learning a different language! Spanish! The Nursery is very creative and an outstanding learning environment. Feedbacks are given on a daily basis when you pick your child up and you can clearly see they treat your child as their own which makes the nursery like a second home for them. They are loved and treated just like you would treat your child. The best Nursery choice I have made.

My daughter loves it here, she skips into the nursery twice a week. The staff really took their time with the settling in process which made me and my daughter happy in the knowledge that one size didn’t fit all and they treat my child as an individual with different needs and wants. They update me
on her progress verbally and via an app. The outside area is great. Everyone who works there wants to be there, I had looked at other nurseries and some staff looked depressed! Also the food is great.

I have chosen this nursery because I like the fact that this is a small nursery so my child feels more comfortable within the nursery environment. All the staff are excellent with the care they provide for my child.

My Daughter has been attending Happywoods for 7 months. She really enjoys it. They plan lots of activities, they are outside as much as possible and they all have lots of fun. My Daughter has learnt so much and especially enjoys learning Spanish songs.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.772)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.772) out of 10 for HappyWoods Nursery (Heene Road) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.772 for HappyWoods Nursery (Heene Road) is calculated as follows: ( (141 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.772

  • 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 HappyWoods Nursery (Heene Road) is based on 15 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 38 number of registered child places is 7.6, which has been reached with 15 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.
