Review from Marlena S (Mother of Child) published on 15 July 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I am very happy with the nursery considering I didn’t have a good experience with the previous one. My twin girls have joined since it has been open (in September 2019). They settled very well and have been enjoying going there. staff and managment are very caring and helpful, plus there is a good selection of healthy food for the kids.

Overall Experience
Happy Journeys Day Nursery is the nursery I was looking for my child. He joined the nursery when he was 1-year-old and had the best carers in the baby room, the ladies there are meant to work with kids.
I think there are lots of things that can make the difference between Happy Journeys and other nurseries I looked at; the food they provide to the kids (even my baby is not a big fan of food), the outdoor areas, the cleanliness, that amazing learning environment.

Thank you Happy Journeys for taking care of my son!

Overall Experience

Happy Journeys provides excellent care for my daughter. Staff are kind, considerate and brilliant at communicating with parents through the app. It took a while for my child to settle into nursery, but the baby room staff were so patient and helped her and me through the process. The facilities are outstanding, and the gourmet menus are very hard to compete with! I love the fact that each classroom has its own garden. My daughter always seems very happy at the end of the day and exhausted from all the amazing activities that she has been busy with!

Overall Experience

The nursery is simply fantastic, my daughter loves attending and has developed a lot over the months. I like that children create some sort of art for whatever is going on in a year, for instance, a little gift for Daddy for Father's Day.

Overall Experience

Our daughter has been going to Happy Journeys from October 2019 and although they are a new nursery; they are very well organised and equipped both facilities and staff-wise. Our daughter has enjoyed going to this nursery, and we have been very pleased with the care she has received, as well as the service we have received from management and staff in general. Would definitely recommend this as an option to parents who are looking for a professional, clean and safe environment for their children.

Overall Experience
The wow factor about this nursery; is how big and bright are all the rooms, with amazing outside space - separate for each class and the most important, very friendly and helpful staff.

It took my daughter only a week to settle, and the activities that children are engaged in are variated and educative.

Review from Matt (Father of Child) published on 17 February 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son started at Happy Journeys in October last year, and he's loved his time there. The staff are all absolutely fantastic, and could not be more caring. He's learnt so much and made lots of new friends. The atmosphere is very welcoming, from reception through to the classrooms, and you're left feeling that your child is in very good hands. He now looks forward to nursery every day and has gone from having a few tears on us leaving him there, to running into the classroom and starting to play. Thank you all at Happy Journeys.

Overall Experience
My son has enjoyed this nursery a lot so far, in a short time to settle in. He has learnt new games, good eating habits and playing with other kids. My son and staff members got used to each other very well.

Nursery has a huge and safe outside space, which makes the time in the nursery even better. And last but not least important, it's menu which offers varied and delicious food every single day.

Review from Palwasha P (Mother of Child) published on 9 December 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Being a first-time mum, it was extremely hard to choose a nursery for my 2-year-old daughter. I was very anxious about leaving my daughter in the nursery, but after visiting Happy Journeys Day Nursery and meeting the staff put my mind at ease. The staff in the toddler's room are really caring and loving. Their care and friendly, gentle approach has really helped my child settle in well. The outside space is excellent and the rooms are clean, spacious, well thought out and interesting for the children. I highly recommend this nursery.

New, well organised and good feeling place. Fantastic staff, very caring and loving towards the children and have helped my daughter settle in. The special needs coordinator has been really helpful with support for my daughter. Its been great seeing the difference since my daughter started, she really enjoys going to nursery. The staff are positive, get back to you quickly and have created a wonderful atmosphere for children’s and their families. They are new but very capable.

Review from E S (Mother of Child) published on 6 December 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son is a sensitive child and spent his first two and a half years with me. I was very worried about the settling in period but to everyone’s surprise, after two sessions, he was ready to stay and one week after he just waved me off! The ladies seem very caring and they all know the children very well. My son is happy there and we are delighted with the nursery. The food looks delicious and all cooked fresh daily by their own chef in their very own kitchen. The whole nursery is new and it has been refurbished beautifully. I like that all rooms have outside space plus the children use the biggest garden to do PE every Thursday which my son loves. We are so happy to find this nursery and although my son was on the waiting list for another nursery, once we came to visit we both felt we had found the one. Highly recommend it to anyone!

Overall Experience
Great environment for growth and development. Staff are engaging, helpful and are very keen to get to know each individual child.
I love that when I speak to staff I feel as though my little boy is special to them. Definitely a home away from home.

Needs to improve the parent app, input of data on time and accurate.
