Review from I C (Mother of Child) published on 28 September 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I am a new parent with a one-year-old baby. My experience of visiting the nursery to view it and the process of enrolling my son was outstanding. The Settles were really well planned to fit around my work and the staff are so friendly and caring to the children. The management in the nursery are very welcoming and supportive and the staff across the nursery are an amazing team.
The nursery is clean, well set-up, and I am so happy that I chose Happy Days for my baby and feel reassured he is in a happy caring and nurturing environment. It is clear that the staff enjoy working in the nursery and caring for the children in an outstanding and passionate way.

I would highly recommend Happy Days to my friends. My son is settling into the nursery so well and is really happy which in turn makes me extremely happy too. The nursery are very supportive in understanding my baby's routines with sleep etc. and give good feedback when I pick up my son.

The staff are excellent, very good, professional and caring with the children. They communicate excellently with me as a parent and the use of the app is also very helpful.

The facilities are very good, very clean and the site still looks new. There is plenty of interactive play and communication about development which is well structured.

Overall Experience

Our child has been going to Happy Days Nursery at Lyde Green for almost a year now and we think this is an outstanding nursery. The nursery takes safety very seriously and they are reasonable with their approach to protect all kids when someone gets ill. The staff is very understanding, reassuring our concerns as parents and accommodating our child's needs through a collaborative approach. Our child is learning a lot and is having fun in the process. Their carer has developed a bespoke developmental plan for our child, updating us regularly on their progress and setting new goals once they are achieved. As parents, we are reassured that our child is in good hands, with experienced and qualified professionals who put children's safety, well-being and development at the core of what they do without forgetting the fun and play in the process. Thank you very much for all your hard work!

My daughter loves going to Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Lyde Green. Since joining the nursery we have seen her grow to be a happy, outgoing, kind girl. She has recently moved up a room and has settled in really well. This has been largely down to the support from the wonderful staff.

Review from Gemma D (Mother of Child) published on 20 April 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child has attended Happy Days at Lyde Green for the last 2 years. He has thoroughly enjoyed his time there and is just beginning the transition to the school programme. He has a great relationship with his key worker and all the adults he sees. His favourite part is their outside space, forest school and the water tray. He has learnt so much in the last 2 years, we couldn't be happier with the care and support he has received.

Review from H S (Mother of Child) published on 25 April 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I have been blown away by the nursery. They have supported us fantastically right from the initial transition and continue to be amazing.
My child is always greeted with big smiles and open arms each morning, the team always make him feel welcome and excitedly encourage him into nursery. This makes mornings so much easier and happier for both me and my child.
As a parent, it is invaluable to feel confident and trusting of the team caring for your child. The nursery has gone above and beyond in supporting our family and care so much about children's well-being. The manager is brilliant and cares deeply about ensuring children and families are happy and thriving.
The activities provided are exciting, engaging and creative! The team go the extra mile with providing fantastic experiences for the children! Including local walks!
A great space for children to explore, make friendships and thrive with the care of a brilliant, kind and caring team!

Thank you so much!

Overall Experience

Our daughter has been so happy at Happy Days (Lyde Green) since she joined in September when she was 10 months. She settled there very quickly and absolutely loves going. The staff have always been so supportive and positive, and take real trouble to do fun, interactive and creative activities with the children. The rooms are very clean, with lots of space for the children to play. My daughter has been very happy here and loves the staff.

Overall Experience

My son moved to this nursery as it was easier for me and his dad for work. The nursery made him so welcome on his visits and when he started his three full days a week. The adventurer's staff are so accommodating to my son through his transition and he is happier than ever. He settled really quickly and made loads of new friends and even bonded with all the staff in both adventurer's rooms. He comes home all the time talking about nursery. If we visit over by the nursery his face lights up and he says "my nursery".

My daughter started at Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Lyde Green in October and has settled in amazingly thanks to the fantastic staff. Everyone has been wonderful in their approach, not only to my daughter but also myself and my husband. The feedback that we receive daily is lovely, and staff are always extremely positive. Would recommend to anyone looking for a nursery that will care for their child and enable them to flourish.

Review from Hollie M (Mother of Child) published on 11 November 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has such a special relationship with the wonderful staff at Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Lyde Green. She has been attending since the age of 9 months, now at just 2 she looks forward to going to nursery, the environment is safe, educating and loving for her. All the things I could wish for whilst I am at work and she is in child care. I cannot fault the professionalism and friendliness of the team.

Both my children have attended happy days, my son and daughter, my son attended a different setting prior to happy days, often he was unsettled and unwilling to attend. Once he started happy days he was such a different child, confident and happy, I have no regrets taking him out of his first nursery and placing him with happy days, he flourished heaps and loved every moment at happy days.

Overall Experience

My 1 year old recently started nursery and the staff was extremely welcoming and lovely throughout the settling in period. The room settings are very cosy with lovely educational toys and outside play area. Even though we are still at the very beginning of our nursery journey, my little one already feels very comfortable around the nurses, and they even managed to put him down for decent amount of sleep.

My daughter has been going to the nursery for a few months now, she has settled in so well! I was anxious about how she would be and if she would like it but the staff were great, put my mind at ease and made my daughter very welcome. She is so excited to go to nursery now she beams every day when she is going in and has a big smile when she sees the staff. I also appreciate how thorough they are with letting me know what she has done that day, what she ate, activities she enjoyed etc!

Dropping your child off to any nursery for the first time is understandably an experience filled with emotion and anxiety, however, the fantastic staff at Happy Days made this experience a nice one. They are friendly, knowledgeable, caring and have handled the pandemic brilliantly. Thank you all!

Review from Rachel J (Mother of Child) published on 19 July 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
As with many other parents, we were nervous about our daughter starting nursery at a year old as she had spent most of her life in lockdown!
I was able to visit the nursery and stay for a 1-hour settling in session and it put my mind at ease. The children in Explorers seemed happy, the staff were friendly and engaged and the facilities are great!
She has now been there for 4 months and she loves it! We get daily updates on her sleep, nappy changes, food and activities. We have already had a long phone call from her key person about her progress in nursery and how they are working on areas of her development.
It’s so lovely to see her becoming more confident, the staff are so lovely and they get her to go to sleep for naps (which is a miracle)!

The children get plenty of outside time if they want and the toys and games are really thoughtful and allow lots of open-ended play.

Overall Experience

My daughter has loved her time at Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Lyde Green. In my opinion, the level of care they provide is second to none. You can tell each and every member of staff genuinely really care for the children like they were their own. You are given a written account daily of activities your child has done as well as what they have eaten along with how much. The food menu is also amazing, so I know my daughter never goes hungry whilst there. Nothing is too much for the team and their compassion reflects in the children's happiness at the end of the day.

Review from Sarah B (Mother of Child) published on 18 May 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Upon moving my eldest child from another nursery setting he has become more confident in everything he does. He talks about his friends and about what he has done all the way home. He is so happy at Happy Days and looks forward to going when he wakes up in the morning!
My youngest at 9 months old started in April and it is like he has been going much longer. He is so content there.

The nursery staff always wear a smile and the handover of the day is always so lovely to hear. They have always done so much, and often come back filthy! Which is great! Makes me happy that they are so happy.

Review from David F (Father of Child) published on 13 May 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We took the very difficult decision to move our son from another setting to Happy Days Lyde Green. It has been quite possibly the best decision we ever made.
The nursery is new, fresh and has a social conscience (almost all wood toys, plastic kept to a minimum). The carers are professional and passionate about what they do and you can tell they really know the children well as individuals. Their enthusiasm is visible in the diversity of activities the children are involved with. For example his first week they turned the nursery into a space station! The journeys home are regularly filled with stories of arts and crafts, books and songs. Our son loves nursery and has flourished at Happy Days socially, physically and academically.
A wonderful variety of food is prepared onsite by chef, our son eats almost everything and it's a daily battle to compete at home!
The caring and approachable office staff complete what is a truly amazing team.

I cannot recommend Happy Days Lyde Green highly enough.
