I think Happy Days Swindon is doing very well. My son joined there as a result of an emergency plan for just two sessions a week but after a few months we decided to do a full switch from his first nursery to Happy Days. It seems like he is doing a lot better and that staff fully understand his situation (English is not his first language). Communication with staff is very good. And most importantly - my boy is very happy there.
I am so pleased with Happy Days as our choice of nursery. My daughter has been coming since 10-months-old and loves it. The staff are so friendly and supportive, really getting to know the individual children in their care, as well as the parents. Even during unsettled periods, the nursery staff offer advice, encouragement and reassurance - which every working parent needs when those days happen. Thank you.
They're a fantastic nursery. My son loves going to school. The only thing that does annoy me is certain members of staff discuss my child with other members of my family, but continue to go on about data protection if I ask about my niece.
I would highly recommend their services.
I am extremely happy with the facilities/ethos/outdoor areas.
My experience with the staff has been all positive ones, and I’ve had no real concerns since using the nursery.
The only area where I feel I am unable to confidently rate/comment; would be regarding the activities and learning, but again, I do not have any concerns in this area.
All the staff are fantastic and the place is beautiful. Can't recommend it highly enough. My child didn't enjoy his old nursery and here he runs off happily, somedays without even remembering to say bye!
Highly recommend.
My little boy has been going for 3 months now and he settled so quickly, the staff are amazing.
I had a few issues and the nursery staff addressed it straight away and worked with me on the issue.
The outdoor area is amazing and my little boy loves it so much.
My son has been attending the nursery since August the development and change in him is brilliant. They provide a wide variety of food which has made life at home a lot easier. He is my first child and I was very anxious about him joining nursery. All the staff there put my mind at ease and I like how I get a written update each time I collect him. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.
Staff are fantastic and always display a positive attitude. Facilities are modern and food offered is varied and of high standard.
I like the idea of the forest craft area and the nursery is environmentally friendly in the sense they have wooden rather than plastic toys.
Everything is well organised and I couldn’t think of anywhere better to send my child.
This is our 1st nursery experience but I can honestly say from the outset the senior management down to the staff day in day out have been superb. As this was a new nursery you expected teething problems but I can honestly say it was seamless. Every question we have had has been answered quickly and promptly and staff have been superb.
The facilities as you can imagine for a new nursery have been mind-blowing if only it was like this when I was a child, it has everything from indoor slides to outdoor play areas, I can say our son comes home with a smile on his face every day and in fact doesn't want to leave.
In addition to everything our son has a 'dairy' allergy and we were worried how this would be managed but we had several meetings with management before starting and they outlined how they would manage everything and before they did they listened and fully understand the extent of the allergy.
We have been at Happy Days now for 4 months and can honestly say it is the best choice we made.
The entire team are lovely and put our minds at ease, I'm very happy to have had a place accepted for our daughter and would highly recommend to other parents.
All the staff are friendly and welcoming and the nursery provides excellent facilities and resources.
Amazing nursery with impeccable second to none care towards children. Our twins have come on leaps and bounds since being at this Nursery and would recommend anyone to leave their children in the care here. They have helped with all aspects on young education from the age of 40 months and have a great ethos of both modern and older childcare and actively encourage outdoor and indoor play to develop much needed social, emotional and physical care. Well done guys.
The staff are very informative and always give me a good update on what’s been going on during the day, and I feel that my son is in great hands when I drop him off there. Every morning there are lots of fun toys and games set up, and the kids are encouraged to be really independent which is fab. I couldn’t wish for anything more!
Although at an early age she seems to be coming on leaps and bounds with other children, the staff who are excellent in everything they do from caring to development of our daughter. They look after her and report back as to what she's done during the day from activities inside and out, her eating diary along with nappy motions lol. Overall pleasing and on the occasions that she's had a minor mishap I've been called and reported as to the events alongside any queries or worries.
Welcoming all around and friendly from entrance through to departures. Would highly recommend this nursery and most importantly my daughter loves it.
The nursery is such a lovely place, the staff are happy and caring and my daughter loves going there.
My son has been in the Abbey Meads Happy Days Nursery since June and has since learnt so much. He’s learning songs and numbers. His manners have gotten so much better. All the staff are lovely and will always tell me how my sons day has been. Can’t recommend the nursery enough.
I strongly recommend Happy Days in Swindon!

Meet the Team (1)

I have over 14 years’ experience in early years and childcare, and bring a wealth of knowledge, leadership and passion to my role. I hold a Level 5 Diploma in Health and Social Care and Young Children’s Services, as well as a Level 2 qualification in Understanding Children and Young People’s Mental Health.
I began my career as a Nursery Practitioner and, through dedication and a genuine love for the sector, progressed into leadership, becoming a Nursery Manager eight years ago. I am passionate about working in partnership with families and creating environments where children feel safe, supported and excited to learn.
For me, the most rewarding part of my role is seeing children smiling, laughing and shining each day — knowing they are having fun while building the skills and confidence they need for the future.
