Set in a Victorian house on a quiet residential road in Sale.
Extensive play resources excite and inspire children to play and learn together or independently. With an abundance of adventures and experiences including music, dance, art, design, cooking, sport and play, every child can learn naturally through enjoyment and socialising with others.
They have a large garden and local gardens a few minutes’ walk away where the children benefit from forest school and ensure that they are able to spend a good deal of time outdoors in the fresh air.
They run a teacher-led EYFS curriculum, this ensures that learning is fun and rewarding. The qualified team uses creative approaches indoors and out to develop key skills which help the children towards school readiness.
Parents are encouraged to close involvement with the Tapestry app which holds daily updates from children’s key workers showing achievements, news and always a weekly menu.
Menus at the nursery are checked and approved by a registered dietitian and they always try to use locally sourced fresh ingredients which results in healthy flavoursome meals.

About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 51 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 51 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.4 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

We decided on Happitots following a drop-in visit where we instantly felt the nursery was for us, it was very clean and well organised. We very much liked the smaller rooms for each age group rather than a large number of children in one large area. We also like the balance of young and more mature...
Both our son and daughter attended Happitots and they both loved it.
The children are extremely well cared for by staff who are genuinely interested in them, enthusiastic and highly skilled. There is a happy atmosphere with lots going on yet still time for manners, routine and affection.
At the pre-school stage in our children's lives we wanted a place where the children are safe, cared for, well fed (home cooking) comfortable and looked after as we would do at home, this is what Happitots gave us.
It is an excellent nursery with excellent staff. We have recommended it to friends.
Both ourselves and our children have lots of happy memories and friends made at Happitots.

They offer a huge variety of activities and link brilliantly with calendar events. The outside space for play is great for the children and offers loads to explore.
The food is great and full of variety for all ages.
We would recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a loving and fun environment for their child to go to.
We are very happy with Happitots and the progress our son has made. The staff are all very caring and professional and he enjoys his time here making friends and having fun. I think it would be nice for my son to be taken outside of nursery for some activities but that may be when he is older.

Our son attends three days a week, he loves it, so very happy and at twelve months is developing so well with the staff support and cuddles as well as their structured learning plans. His two key workers are fantastic. As an organisation they are very accommodating to your needs, the children's environment is great and the activities are a joy to read on the daily feedback sheets given. His learning is well managed however the fun element is always seen from room to room, it's name is perfect for my son,as he is a happitot!
Fantastic nursery with professional and caring staff who genuinely take an interest in a child's development and well being. My child is very happy here, she is well stimulated with properly designed activities and plenty of outdoor play. I would not hesitate to recommend Happitots to anyone.
