Happy Journeys Day Nursery is a fun and child-friendly place. Modern building with few parking spaces. Admin staff is very helpful always on top of things. Responding to emails, calls and requests quickly. Sending important information to parents regarding care and events happening in the nursery. Our two sons joined toddler and preschool room. Both have very good room managers and caring peers. Lovely and dedicated staff. You can watch your little one on the camera during the day also there is an app which tells what your kid had for breakfast, lunch, tea. You can also speak to the peers via the app if you have any questions. You get weekly feedback from the peer who looks after your child and get photos. On Thursday there is a Spanish teacher coming and having activities with the kids. Our son really likes that day! During the day there are lots of different activities and kids can play outside in the garden. We and mostly our boys are enjoying going there and we are recommending it!

I have had both my kids attend Happy Journeys Day Nursery. One of my sons still attends and the other one has started school. I couldn't be happier with the staff in each room - the learning activities are thoughtfully designed to stimulate cognitive growth and creativity according to their age. The meals provided are not only delicious but also nutritious, expanding my fussy kids' taste buds! My kids have shown progress in their learning journey since attending this nursery. I highly recommend Happy Journeys to any parent seeking a fun, nurturing, learning environment. The management team always try to accommodate and are very helpful.

Happy Journeys is an excellent nursery with friendly and approachable staff. Our child absolutely loves attending and the improvement my husband and I have seen in their development is fantastic.

Happy Journeys is a fantastic nursery. As soon as you walk through the door every morning, you are greeted in a warm and welcoming environment. I have been delighted with the care and learning environment that has been provided to my son since he joined a year and a half ago, and there are stimulating and imaginative activities provided every day by lovely and attentive staff. My son walks into the nursery every day with a smile on his face, and my youngest son will be joining him soon. I highly recommend the nursery to anyone that I speak to!
A lovely and inspiring nursery where the staff truly care about our child’s happiness and development. They have it all: fresh nutritious food, imaginative activities, beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces, and above all a fun, friendly and caring team!

Our eldest has just graduated from Happy Journeys and we are so grateful for the exceptional care, love and education everyone in the nursery has provided to her. The journey from her first day to her last has been nothing short of remarkable. The team's dedication and commitment to creating a...
We truly appreciate the countless hours spent planning and implementing creative lessons, engaging activities and play-based learning opportunities. Every single person at the nursery is so genuine - their passion for teaching and genuine love for the children shines through everything they do.
We are so happy with the care they provide that it was no question we signed up our youngest when I had to return to work after maternity leave. The setting is welcoming, clean, tidy, and up to high standards.
Happy Journey is an amazing nursery, everyone at the school are professional and full of passion. Teachers are well-trained and with lots of care and love for students. Will definitely recommend this nursery to every parent!

I'm so pleased we found this nursery.
Excellent nursery with terrific care. Our son loves the support and kindness offered to him when he goes, from the moment he steps in until the moment he steps out. He eats an excellent diet and exhausts his energy in the right way.

We are very happy with Happy Journeys Day Nursery. Our daughter always looks forward to going, and we feel her development is very well supported by all of the staff. The administrators are always very helpful, and the room staff are very friendly.

The care provided is excellent and I feel my daughter is loved and safe under their care. The nursery also has learning activities every day and I have seen her grow in confidence, knowledge and social skills.
The food is nutritious and varied. Don’t think we can replicate the food variety at home. The facilities are modern and always clean and well maintained.
I will recommend this nursery to everyone.

Our son has been at Happy Journeys for just over a year now and has progressed through three rooms with age. There’s no doubt that his development and learning is as good as it is down to the care, attention and creativity of the staff here. Whenever we’ve had any problems (eg nappy rash) the team have been responsive and helpful. We are grateful to receive regular detailed updates on his days which we love reading and his genuine bonds with his carers is very sweet. Management are highly responsive, friendly and helpful. All in all a great nursery experience for first time parents
My eldest child has been going since he was 1 and a half years old and he loves it! His little brother has recently joined, too. And my third child will be soon.

My eldest child has been going since he was 1 and a half years old and he loves it! His little brother has recently joined, too. And my third child will be soon.
He’s now in preschool class where he has been learning so much as they always have different activities every day (including external ones such as Spanish, sports and music/dance).
I was so impressed with him already knowing so many letters of the alphabet and what they stand for. And with the maths/counting skills.
I love the approach of the staff.
All very friendly, caring, empathetic and knowledgeable.
They always have valuable and constructive feedback to give you when you go to pick up your child.
The food they provide is yummy and healthy and my son always asks for more.
They have an app through which they keep you updated regarding activities done during the day, food eaten, nappy change, and sleep for the little ones.
And you also have access to cameras to check out how you child is doing.
So happy with this nursery, they are really focusing on my son to help him with his progression even when he’s in a busy class. Everyone in the nursery knows him and cares for him. It’s such a special place, the food is delicious and they even cater for different religions. From a very happy parent...
