Nurtured @ Wakefield

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.

They take care of my child well. She is happy and glad when we pick her up.

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.

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.
