My son has attended this nursery since he was one and has progressed from the baby room through to the pre-school room and all staff have been amazing and are so patient with all the children. He loves that they get to spend so much time outside in their lovely garden and out for walks around the village. When they are in the nursery when the weather isn't great they are brilliant at helping him learn through play and he has really thrived while attending here.

Its lovely to know how much he enjoys spending time outdoors in the garden and exploring the village on walks, as well as thriving through play-based learning indoors when the weather keeps us inside. We are so proud of all he has achieved and grateful to be part of his early years. Thank you for your kind words and continued trust.

My child started last year when I returned to work. They have very quickly settled in and appear to enjoy their days there. The app used lets me know all of what they have been up to and although a bit repetitive they are stimulating activities.

My son has attended Happitots for 2 years now and we couldn’t fault the nursery setting at all. My son can’t wait get there in the mornings and has asked on occasion to stay when I collect him, think that speaks for itself about the staff and the activities they get up to. The staff are always very welcoming on drop off and ready with any details from the day on pick up. The manager runs a very good team and the nursery is very clean and safe for the little ones. We love that they are out playing in the garden or on a walk most days unless the weather is really bad.
Thank you for your fabulous review, it is so wonderful to hear how your son is thriving, the team are delighted to read the reviews, thank you from the Thrive team.

The reason for not giving five stars is because of the food they get. I understand the culture is different in every country, but there are days when my child is not getting any nutrition from the food received. I am not saying it has to be organic just would be helpful to get his five a day and meat. Not keen on too many sweet snacks, especially for children under two years old.
One more thing - my child is barefoot every time I pick him up. I understand they can't keep putting them on when they fall off, but my child was ill quite often and that may be one of the reasons too.
The staff are really nice all the time. I would have liked the app to be better; I don't get the everyday update of my child there, sometimes the day after or two days after, but they don't tell me when I pick him up.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments. It was a pleasure meeting with you today to discuss and answer the questions you had regarding the app and our menus.
