My son attends this nursery and all the staff are fab, welcoming and so easy to talk to. The activities they do are brilliant and stimulating.
They are going out on trips to the local park and have loads that they plan to do that are fun as well as educational.

My toddler daughter has been attending Nutured since December 2023. Initially, she was attending part-time but after seeing the inputs she received from there, I put her full-time. Care, attention, food everything is top class. Management is very parent-friendly and flexible with timings when we want
some immediate arrangements due to a personal emergency. Cheers to the entire team. Special thanks to four staff members in particular of whom my daughter will address as her friends.

I was shocked when trying to locate a nursery place for my son 9 months ahead of my return to work. I finally found a spot at Nurtured and thank God, the other nurseries didn't have a place! I could not imagine sending my son anywhere else (I've even argued with the hubby about not moving out of the
area as I couldn't possibly send him somewhere new). All staff are super friendly and approachable. My little one just toddles in and greets everyone on his way to the baby room. They acted super swiftly when he suffered a seizure during naptime and got him the help he needed whilst maintaining communication throughout. He's always doing something creative and is really thriving in the setting.

My son has been attending Nurtured @ Wakefield for nearly a year. He started only doing one day and did take some time to settle but his key person and the room leader who are now in the baby room are amazing. They really do go above and beyond to make my little boy happy, and I feel so at ease leaving
him in their care. He spends his time at home shouting their names, and he smiles and claps his hands when we arrive at nursery.

We moved our children to this nursery in August 2023. We have a child in the baby room and preschool. The staff were incredibly supportive of both children whilst they were settling in. Both children have grown in confidence since starting.
As parents we have been very impressed with the quality of
preschool, our child has improved with their literacy skills since starting. We get regular reports from nursery for both children, so we know where they are in relation to the early years framework.
The outdoor space is amazing and the children spend lots of their day outside. The staff have blown us away with their kindness and professionalism. We would highly recommend this nursery.

My son joined this nursery in September after moving from another one nearby. The staff here have been fantastic, my son settled in quickly, enjoys going and takes part in some great activities. The staff keep us well informed of his day and we get regular updates on his progress. An absolutely amazing

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my children attended the nursery and are now in the holiday club that services their school. I have always been really impressed with the commitment of the staff who continuously provide second to none care for both my children and other children who attend the setting. The facilities are more
than adequate and the outside play area is amazing. The children have so much space and outdoor equipment to help them grow, learn and develop. My children have attended from being babies and the transitional process used has prepared them well for school. They still love going to the holiday club and will often ask when they are going to see their friends and the staff. The exceptional service provided for both drop off and pick up from school allows me to have peace of mind when I am at work and unable to do it myself. This is certainly a nursery that offers great value for money, which for me comes second to knowing that my children are in a safe, fun and caring environment.

Both my children have been attending Happy Days since they were one, they're now 6 and 8 years old, and they love it. They have progressed through all the stages and are now in the after school club. I have never had any cause for concern at the nursery and my children have never said that they don't
want to go. They have made great friends with other children that attend and with the staff. The staff are lovely and caring.
The facilities available at the nursery are excellent and provide a great learning environment for all ages; the outside area is wonderful and HUGE and has an all weather section! Children spend a lot of time outdoors in all weather. Food is freshly prepared every day and provides a varied range of different foods for the children to try, they also have tasting sessions for the less common foods.
My children have always been encouraged in their development and have always felt included in all activities. I would not hesitate in recommending Happy Days to anyone.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I couldn't recommend this nursery enough. My eldest daughter has been attending for almost 3 years and has always loved it. She gets excited when we arrive in the car park and talks positively about all the staff long after I have picked her up. She really enjoys all the activities and the outside play
area/garden is much bigger than any other nursery in Wakefield that I have seen. The staff are attentive, which I know because my daughter refers to staff giving her cuddles when she falls over or if she is tired. I am aware new staff have joined recently but this has not phased my daughter as she refers to each of them by name and is comfortable playing with them. In the 2/3years my daughter has attended she has never said she didn't want to go to nursery or cried when I told her that she is going. I also think the nursery is very good value for money and is cheaper than local nurseries around.

My child loves this nursery and has been going for a few years, for me, however, they don't seem to be able to keep staff very long (they had a large amount leave at once after management changed). Since there appears to be a new staff member every month making it difficult to keep track and to be able
to build up some trust. I would like to point out that the team who have stuck around are amazing I can tell they really care about my child's needs and education.


The nursery itself is in a fantastic place being about 5 minutes from the town centre it is far cheaper than the nurseries around it (by a landslide). The outside area is huge and they have separate play areas for the different ages but do encourage everyone to play together, inside its clean and well decorated.


One of the biggest downsides is the only entrance into the grounds means you have to walk through the small carpark which does get very busy during peak times.

Staff training and development is a large part of the ethos of Happy Days, this, therefore, means that unfortunately staff outgrow the setting. Recently a member of our team has left to become a…read more

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.875)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.875) out of 10 for Nurtured @ Wakefield is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 49 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 49 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.875 for Nurtured @ Wakefield is calculated as follows: ( (520 Excellents x 5) + (53 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 582 Ratings = 4.875
  2. 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 Nurtured @ Wakefield is based on 49 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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 53 number of registered child places is 10.6, which has been reached with 49 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
