Review from Charlotte K (Mother of Child) published on 26 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
I have never had such a bad experience with a nursery before and I would advise any parent not to use this provider.
The nursery have multiple 'inadequate' and 'needs improvement' Ofsted ratings which says it all.
The food provided is not what is advertised on the website. They were being given breadsticks
every day and coming home hungry. My additional needs child that they claim to provide support for had a meltdown because he was hungry, where the staff all crowded round him and a specific member of staff shouted at him. After this incident, the manager rang me in the morning scolding me, informing me both children (the incident only regarded my youngest) are immediately removed. Breaching their own contract. No appropriate measures, attempt of support/communication were taken prior, removal procedure wasn't followed. I requested to discuss this further, to be ignored until I have been sent a message requesting an invoice today. Capable of communicating when money is concerned.

My son has attended Grow Happy since he was 3 months, he is now 4 years old. I can't thank the staff enough for all their work, they have helped him progress in his development so much! All the staff are very friendly and approachable, and I love getting updates throughout the day on my phone to tell
me what he is up to.

My daughter has been attending Grow Happy child care for just over a year, they are an outstanding nursery they have helped my daughter develop with her speech and made her into a young, polite person. This nursery goes far and beyond for the children and even the parents will help with anything, so
I highly recommend this nursery to anyone, they will have yours and your childs best interest at heart.

My daughter has attended Grow Happy Childcare for many years, she loves all the staff and has amazing bonds with them. She always talks about her time at nursery, what she has learnt, what she has done with her friends and how much she enjoys it. I would always recommend it to anyone, such a homely
environment.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My children have an excellent experience at Grow Happy Childcare. My 9 year old son has been there since age 2 and couldn't wait to return after my recent maternity leave. He loved the activities and is autistic so thrives on the routine they provide for him. They were the first to notice his Autism
and thanks to their excellent care and attention we have been able to get a diagnosis.


My youngest son is 18 months and dairy free and nothing is too much trouble to do for him. Grow Happy provide him excellent meals and snacks and are able to cope with all of his additional needs. He goes on do many trips and does so many activities that it makes me feel less guilty about leaving him to go to work.


I can't recommend them highly enough

My youngest daughter attends nursery and my eldest attends holiday club. Both of them absolutely love coming here. The staff are all amazing. They do lots of activities and nothing is too much trouble. My eldest daughter complains when I “picked her up too early” as she wants to stay. Cannot recommend
Grow Happy enough.

My little girl loves going to Grow Happy, so much so that it is difficult to get her to leave each afternoon when I arrive to collect her! The daily connect is a brilliant way of keeping me up to date with what she has eaten, drank and which activities she has been doing. She has easily settled into
nursery and made new friends and she enjoys spending time with the staff too.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I would highly recommend Grow Happy due to the fact that since my 3 year old started attending he has come on leaps and bounds in all aspects. They were amazing when helping with toilet training and are an all-round fantastic nursery and my son loves going. The food is freshly made and to a high standard.
The meals are fantastic and the snacks given throughout the day are more than satisfactory too. I am kept updated via the daily app which also puts my mind at ease.

Current Review Score: 1.0 (1.000)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 1.0 (1.000) out of 10 for Grow Happy Childcare Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 1.0 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 0 out of 5 from 0 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 1.000 for Grow Happy Childcare Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 1
  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 0 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Grow Happy Childcare Nursery is based on 0 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) =
    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 64 number of registered child places is 12.8. 0 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.8 = 0
  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.
