My son has had a great experience at nursery since joining in September. He has settled in well, building close bonds with the staff and friendships with the children in his room. The wide variety of activities keeps him busy throughout the day and the selection of foods throughout the day is a positive
and one of the best menus I have seen being offered in the nursery. I would recommend the nursery to other parents without a doubt. A wonderful place for children to play and learn before going to school.

West Drayton Nursery has been the best decision we’ve made since having our little one. We sent our little boy to nursery at 7 months old, he is now almost 11 months old and absolutely loves his super long days at nursery. The staff are so kind to him, he is super tricky with his sleep and everyone
has been amazing with trying so hard to get him to sleep (he sleeps better at nursery compared to at home!). I love to know what the little one is up to, and the app is great for keeping us updated. Pictures of our little ones are uploaded every day as well, which really makes my day.


Thank you to everyone at West Drayton Nursery!

This nursery was recommended by our neighbour and she wasn't wrong about it at all. My son joined this nursery in January 2023 and was part of the willow room. Since joining the nursery he has developed his personality so much and has become more confident. He normally doesn't make friends and gets
mixed up easily but he has changed and made friends. He is really fond of everyone at the nursery and all the staff at this nursery are brilliant and very helpful and ready to answer any questions you have regarding your child's care. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone who is looking for the best childcare for their child.

I am truly grateful for the exceptional care and support my child has received at Happy Tree Nursery. The staff's helpfulness and friendliness have made me feel comfortable and confident in entrusting my child to their care. The nursery's dedication to understanding each child's unique needs and creating
a nurturing environment has been impressive.
My child's social skills have flourished through engaging activities and group interactions. The stimulating learning environment and age-appropriate educational activities have contributed to my child's cognitive development.
The individualized attention and special care provided have made a significant impact on my child's well-being and happiness. I am thankful for the teachers' care, attention, and encouragement provided have had a profound impact on my child's growth and development.
Overall, I highly recommend Happy Tree Nursery to any parent seeking a nurturing and educational setting for their child.

My daughter joined the nursery in January 2023 and she is so happy to go to school. She is learning new things everyday and getting feedback with pictures of the children is the excellent part of the nursery. The nursery makes sure that they inform what she did and she ate in the nursery which is really
very brilliant idea.

Happy Tree Nursery educated the children very well. They are doing very good activities according to the season, and they are respecting all cultural activities. They are following what parents are requesting. My daughter went to Happy Tree Nursery, and now she is going to school; she is very good at
school. Now my son is going to Happy Tree Nursery. He improved his communication skills and knowledge of different seasons and different culture. When he comes home, he always talks about what he did in the nursery. I am so happy that I sent my both children to the nursery. A big thank you to all teachers and managers. If you are looking for a nursery place for your children, please do not wait; call and send your children to Happy Tree Nursery.

Thank you, Happy Tree Nursery! It was a lovely journey with you. Previously, my son joined another nursery, but I was not happy with their service, and then my son joined 'Happy Tree Nursery'; the staff was brilliant and accommodating.
My son joined them in September 2021 until January 2023.
Being
first-time parents, we need all the support from the nursery; Happy Tree was very nice and helped me whenever I needed them.
Thank you so much! Keep up the good work!

Happy Tree in West Drayton is a great nursery. My daughter really enjoyed attending it since Jan 21. The staff is well trained and very experienced. Especially my child's keyworker was exceptional. My daughter and her really created a bond. She was always happy when I collected her from the nursery
and she really developed herself further there. Furthermore, despite having a difficult parental situation, the staff handled this quite well.

Happy Tree nursery.

They never gave up to try and bring my daughter out of her shell and she is very shy around adults.

Me and my husband would like to say thank you to Happy Tree for being so nice, so delicate, so kind towards my daughter. I have seen a big change in my daughter. She has started her nursery with happy tree in September 2021 and after that we have seen beautiful changes in my daughter. She started speaking
in sentences, and started expressing her desires and all. A big thanks to staff for being so nice and always worked on communication skills of my daughter. One has always being favourite of my daughter. A big thanks to the manager and her team. The manager has always been very welcoming and always gave us time whenever we required her. Parents please go and select Happy Tree for your kid. Me and my husband will always be grateful to Happy Tree. My daughter is so happy there. She always loves going there. When required Happy Tree welcomed my daughter for additional hours when we parents were so occupied with our work. It is very hygienic and food quality is you can trust.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has been attending this nursery since last year. She has always been emotional and tearful when we separated. I was very worried about placing her in the nursery at first. However, after meeting with the nursery head teacher and getting all my questions answered I was happy to sign my daughter
up. I'm glad I did. My daughter now often forgets to say goodbye to me when we are arriving at the nursery doorstep. She is happy to be there and looks forward to each day to see her teachers and friends. Our first language is not English so for my daughter who understood English well, speaking wasn't something that came naturally to her; now she not only speaks well with our foreign friends in English but also sings songs she has learned in the nursery. I would highly recommend Happy Tree Nursery - West Drayton to everyone. Your child will be very well looked after, safe and loved. Thank you!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.870)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.870) out of 10 for West Drayton Day Nursery 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 42 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 42 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 4.870 for West Drayton Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (438 Excellents x 5) + (59 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 500 Ratings = 4.87
  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 West Drayton Day Nursery is based on 42 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 97 number of registered child places is 19.4, which has been reached with 42 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.
