Happy Journeys Day Nursery

My child has been attending for two years and thoroughly enjoys her time at the nursery. She has settled in well and has built strong relationships with her teachers and fellow pupils. Good environment for her to be in.

My child is incredibly happy here. The staff are lovely and the activities are varied and interesting. My child loves the food. The communication is excellent and nothing is ever too much trouble. The management are very professional to deal with.

Thank you both and all other staff on being so welcoming and I look forward to watching my son enjoy his "Happy Journey!"

I would recommend enforcing the folding buggy policy.

There is a very lovely atmosphere at the nursery. I couldn’t be happier.

Our son started in the toddler room at Happy Journeys nearly 2 months ago and we only have good things to say. We felt instantly at ease when we visited - not only is the physical space beautiful, bright and fun but the staff are warm and professional. We had a difficult time settling him at a previous setting and whilst this might have been partly due to his age at the time, we have genuinely never seen him so happy or excited as he is now. He jumps out of bed and asks to go there, and when he comes home it is clear he's had the best time. Even on the few days of difficult drop-offs, the staff were patient and understanding and it quickly passed. We get detailed updates about his day and his development which are lovely to read. Thank you to everyone at HJ and keep up the good work!

I was very nervous sending my child to a nursery that I haven't entered (due to Covid). However, several months down the line I am happy that my son is having such a wonderful time here. He has made a group of friends and has a very close bond with his key worker. He is encouraged to partake in activities he would sometimes miss which has helped him develop his skills. He spends a lot of time outside playing games which he loves. He is happy coming to nursery and misses people when they don't come. We get a good amount of verbal feedback daily and regular observations. We have seen weekly photos of activities that were so beautifully set up to be engaging and supportive of the children's development. I do get a bit nervous about allergies, my son struggles a lot with this, but the nursery has been communicating with me to make sure his food is safe.

I couldn't be happier with this nursery! As a new parent and being a very apprehensive person, I was extremely worried to leave my son to someone I don't know. I called several nurseries to get information, but as soon as I called Happy Journeys and the staff member picked up the phone she gave me peace of mind and made me feel that it was the right nursery for us. My son settled immediately! I was supposed to be with him for one hour, but as soon as we entered the garden he totally forgot me and so I left after 20/30 minutes. He is always so happy to go to the nursery and when he sees I'm putting nappies in his bag he starts to smile and run to the door so impatient to go out. The staff are just so lovely! My son grew up so much in the last 5 months and learnt so many new things...and this is just thanks to them! I couldn't recommend it more!

I really appreciate the attention they have on nutrition and the constant updating on the achievement reached!

I highly recommend the nursery and have done so with friends that have asked me. My son went to the nursery when they first opened. Even though some members of staff have changed in time the values of the nursery still remain the same. This is an amazing nursery, we had a difficult journey with settling but they were always there to support and help us go through the difficulties. They are all great the management team and the staff that takes care of the kids. All of them. I am highly satisfied and feel actually sad and nervous that this is our last year with them because my son is going in reception in September. If I could give more than 5 stars I would, their hard work deserves it.

Would always recommend to anyone looking for a nursery.

We now have both our children attend this absolutely lovely nursery. I cannot praise it enough. The facilities are very good, they try to keep natural materials inside. There are numerous engaging activities going on in both our groups, the children get to play outdoors as well. Very pleased about the menu being varied and different from what we would normally have at home. The staff are easy-going, attentive, communicative and have great relationships with the children. I also like their tech setup very much, as a busy working mum, I can look at the kids' progress, manage invoices and much more via the parent app.

My daughter started at Happy Journeys when it first opened and we have been very impressed with the level of childcare that they have provided at each stage (baby, infant and toddler). Staff are friendly, provide quality updates and genuinely care for the children. My daughter enjoys the variety of food and activities, happily chatting about her day and relaying all that she has learnt to us. I could not recommend Happy Journeys enough!

Couldn’t be happier, a positive education and they develop each child’s potential. They do so many creative activities every single day and you get pictures and comments through the day. I don't think my child could be in a better place, she spent from six months till two years old and moved here from two years old to now two and a half years old, the best decision we made. Drop off and pick up are easy, fast and always kind feedback of how the day went. They are all very attentive to the parents’ thoughts.

Wonderful warm friendly yet professional environment. Child-led learning which is exactly what we had wanted. Outside inside play area to allow child to explore freely. Amazing apps to keep the parents informed and up to date on child development. Very flexible with providing kosher food. Car park on-site for easy and safe drop-offs. My only hope is that they can continue to provide this excellent level of service as the years go by and the newness fades! - Similar to what has unfortunately happened to other nurseries.

My child loves going to this nursery and settled in well.

Lovely nursery with excellent staff. Children are cared for in the best possible manner. Thank you for all you do. I would definitely recommend Happy Journeys to friends and family. It took us a long time to find the perfect place and we finally found it. We are very happy with Happy Journeys.

I’ve enrolled our younger son as well to start later this year. I’m very excited to see his journey there.

My daughter started at the nursery in September and settled in really quickly to the extent where she jumps to the arms of her key worker when we go to drop her off. The staff are all really friendly and have played a key role in her development. The food is also very nutritious and they provide a wide range of dishes which exposed her to different flavours and helped build a diverse palate.

Our son is so happy attending Happy Journeys. We had some settling in issues at the beginning but the management team were so supportive and responsive to our needs and worked alongside us to help resolve those settling in nerves our son was having. This really made it feel like a safe, welcoming and supportive environment for him to be in and he has thrived so much since being here. We couldn't recommend it highly enough and just wish that every nursery setting was of such a high standard as Happy Journeys.
