My little one has been in the nursery for a while now and loves going in everyday (cries when she has to leave!). The staff are always so helpful and friendly willing to listen and help anyway they can. When she had trouble settling again after moving up to an older room they made a point of talking to us and making some changes to make her happier and more settled. The nursery manager even made a point of popping in to check on her and make sure it was the best move for her even though she is so busy with other work. Cannot rate the nursery or staff enough!

Where to start! They have been brilliant at settling my little boy into their setting- and me too! The app keeps me updated during the day and we are always greeted with a warm smile every morning- it feels like one big family! He's developing so much since starting and the rooms always look so inviting. Best decision we made to send our boy here!

We are absolutely thrilled with our experience, our son has been attending the nursery over a month now. From the very beginning, the whole staff welcomed our son with warmth and enthusiasm, creating an environment where he felt safe and happy. The staff are exceptionally kind, patient, and dedicated. The variety of activities and learning experiences, including creative arts, outdoor play, have been encouraging our son's development and curiosity. It's been wonderful to see how much he has grown in confidence since starting here. Communication with parents is always clear and consistent, we receive a lot of updates through the day, so we feel very connected and well-informed about our son. We highly recommend Happy Days to any family seeking a nurturing, stimulating, and professional environment for their child. We couldn't be happier with the care and education our son is receiving here.

Happy Days have been nothing but the absolute best since my little girl has started there. They are so friendly and helpful and the staff are all amazing. I can't fault them one bit and they are there for you as well as the child and I found that so comforting and appreciated, the way they have taught my child has been amazing, they are really the best preschool ever!

Happy days have been great. Since my son started, his speech has developed massively and he’s now brilliant at playing with other kids, he’s only 2 and it’s been amazing for his confidence. The staff are super helpful and friendly. 100% recommend.

The staff are always nice and caring and let you know how your kid has been and it's nice to see the app about pictures and videos of your child and they try to help if you need advice on anything like potty training and it's really helped.

My son attends 2 days a week. The staff were very supportive when extending his settling-in sessions and these were over the course of months rather than their norm of two weeks. His key person and staff around him have identified that he has additional needs and have supported him with an education, health and care plan. Everybody tells me how lucky I am that he has received one so young in age and so quickly. My son was mainly nonverbal when he started and wouldn’t accept rules and boundaries. Now, his speech is improving slightly and his carers say he is thriving. Thank you always to all of the staff - management and room carers for all of the support, care and comfort that you never fail to provide.

My child enjoys attending the nursery three days a week. Most days he comes home with a change of clothes because he got so involved with the activities they offer - painting, messy play and from general having fun. Also loves the outdoor space that is available for exploring and running around with peers. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, happy to answer any questions and to follow any requests too, like sleep limit. The app which is used for recording daily care needs is really useful as you can look at your leisure rather than being given a form at the end of the day. Also, observations and moments are recorded too so you get to see snippets of their day.

Absolutely lovely members of staff. All so friendly and welcoming. My daughter loves coming to nursery and always comes back to tell me all the fun stuff she has done that day. She has made lots of friends and has learnt lots of new skills since starting last January. Very happy to have such a safe space for my daughter.

My daughter loves coming to Happy Days. There is always so much for them to do, and all of the staff are lovely and caring. As a parent it's like having friends look after my daughter. All of the staff are very accommodating of her allergies too, so I know that she is safe and well cared for.

My girls absolutely love this nursery, they have so much fun and always ask when they will be back in, the staff are amazing making sure my girls are happy. My girls will start big school this September and I feel like they have learnt so much. I can't wait for my little boy to start this September.

All staff at the nursery are extremely welcoming. All know each child’s name and really want the best for every child in their care. Our son has had such a wonderful nursery experience thanks to the team at Happy Days - and our daughter will be enrolling later in 2024! I completely recommend this nursery to any new parent - knowing how worrying it can be to leave your child at nursery Happy Days do everything they can to make this transition as easy as possible for child and parents!

Outstanding nursery, staff are incredibly and so attentive to my son. My son wasn't talking at all when he started this nursery in September at the age of 2 years old. He's now been there 8 weeks and he's already talking and communicating. It is amazing the work they have done for my child. Every session they help me with the drop off to make my morning less stressful and at every pick up they are so enthusiastic to share with me everything my child has been up to. It is so warming and settling to know they really care. I couldn't have picked a better nursery and it's been so rewarding as my son is coming on leaps and bounds. Thank you for all you work you do at Happy Days Nursery because my son is one happy little bunny when he's with you.

My Daughter has been attending Happy Days Nursery since 2022. Since then she has developed a medical condition, which the Staff have been absolutely great with. Reassuring her and understanding her needs. Also the Nursery Staff are very good in seeing a child’s needs and don’t treat the children all the same but as individuals. Very glad we chose this Nursery. The Chef at the Nursery is also really good, cooking lovely food and lots of variety. Well done.

A lovely bunch! We’re new to the nursery but have already found everyone to be so friendly and welcoming. They’ve really helped to settle our little one in and it’s so nice to see her little smile when she’s dropped off in the morning.

Great and friendly staff my daughter always has the best time. Great feedback on how the day has been. Helped my daughter settle in well at the beginning with multiple settles before she started I would 100% recommend this nursery!
20 April 2023
Would really recommend Happy Days to anyone looking for a nursery setting. Both my girls have and are attending, and they are wonderful providers. My daughter, who currently attends some mornings, was always hard with the handover, but when she was welcome in a calm manner and reassured. Thank you, Happy Days staff, for all you do for all children.

The whole team are amazing. My little girl has thrived at nursery - they are honest, compassionate and trustworthy, and I feel she is very well looked after. They offer a huge range of activities daily for their development. Two ladies, especially in explorers, are fab. Would highly recommend.

My daughter attends happy days and absolutely loves it. The staff are brilliant and attentive. My son will be starting in January and I'm certain I will be sending my youngest there when it's their turn.
