Happy Tree Academy

Happy Tree Academy has been absolutely brilliant in taking care of our twin boys. The boys love it here and have always been happy to go to the nursery. Their English language has improved a lot since they joined here as well. They do a lot of fun activities, name their friends, and excitingly narrate their day to us. Have been very happy with the kids' progression here.

Our child started at Happy Tree at 8 months old. From the very beginning, we felt welcomed and reassured that she would be looked after exceptionally well. Over the past 5 months, we have seen remarkable progress in her confidence, independence, motor skills and emotional security. The nursery have played a key role in fostering her independent play and has encouraged independent eating. The nursery app provides valuable insight into the wide range of themes she learns about and the engaging activities she participates in. We enjoy the at home activities suggested, which help us feel closely involved in her development. The staff at Happy Tree are welcoming, friendly, and nurturing. They clearly know our child well and understand her individual needs, which gives us complete confidence that she is happy, safe and thriving in their care.

Our son has been at Happy Tree Academy for more than a year now and is thriving. Thank you for extended hours and school holiday cover - very helpful for NHS workers!

The variety of activities are great lots of teaching, and all concerns are handled well & promptly advice is shared.

I wouldn't want my daughter to go anywhere else.

Sending the kids to Happy Tree Academy was the best decision my wife and I made! The kids (2 of them) have both thrived in this setting and always come back with a smile on their faces. The staff are so great with the kids and have helped us in so many ways with their education. Would recommend this setting to everyone. Could not have asked for a better nursery or staff for our kids. Thank you all again for everything you have done for our children.

I have found my little one has settled in so well. She enjoys her interactions with the staff and other children. She enjoys the different activities on different days. I find the staff friendly & great with communication, overall, we're very happy with the nursery.

But most of all, seeing how much each staff member cares & shows admiration for my children makes every day so much easier.

My daughter joined Happy Tree Academy in September 2024, being an extremely shy child, I thought the adaption process would take longer. I was pleasantly surprised to see that my daughter adapted and integrated surprisinly quickly. The teachers were wonderful, they gave her the necessary time and helped her overcome her shyness. My daughter learned a lot, and going to nursery soon became a pleasure and something she was looking forward to. She became very attached to her teacher and she reminds me everyday how much she will miss them when she will start school. Her teachers guided her and helped her bloom and prepare for the next chapter in her life - starting reception. I would like to thank all nursery teachers and staff for all their care and attention. My daughter will always hold them in her heart.

My child started at Happy Tree Academy at age 1 and has been there for 2 years now. He enjoys the range of extra curricular activities provided, including yoga, lunge and leap and exploring the forest school, as well as trips to the local park. His social and language skills have thrived in the nursery environment, as well as his independence, e.g. learning to put on his own shoes, coat, etc. Daily updates allow parents to keep track on how much their child is eating, sleeping etc and the nursery is always available to answer any questions or concerns. Staff are polite and seem genuinely invested in helping my child develop and have the best time at nursery. The nursery work with us to try and nip issues like tantrums in the bud as soon as they are identified. We are very happy with HTA, thank you!

This is a lovely nursery - the staff are kind and nurturing, and always on hand to offer advice and support. It's a great environment and the activities are fun and educational. My son loves coming here.

My son attends HTA 3 days a week and it is the best investment we have made fore him. Since he has joined, he has THRIVED. He is happy, motivated and keen to learn and I do believe this is due to the provision that is provided. The staff at HTA are the most kind, genuine and motivated people. They are empathic, gentle and nurturing. I cannot thank them enough and I appreciate the time and effort they make to keep the days at nursery engaging and relevant. Additionally my son has allergies and SEND and this has not affected his day to day provision at the nursery.

It is a very good nursery! with very active staff, very clean, they do all kinds of activities! My daughter is making progress every day. The nursery have put on events such as "stay and play" mornings which are greatly appreciated and good fun! Congratulations Happy Tree Academy

My daughter (3 years old) attends 3 days a week. She starts the day happily and the ends the day with a smile. Food options are excellent. She loves Tiny Mites, lunge and leap and enjoys French as well as playful activities! The staff are caring, supportive and attend to her needs and growth.

The staff are friendly and helpful and take feedback well. The nursery have put on events such as "stay and play" mornings which are greatly appreciated and good fun!

My daughter has been at Happy Tree for 5 months now, after being at a different setting for over 2 years. As expected, I was worried about her settling in to a new environment however the staff at Happy Tree made the transition seamless, providing exceptional support! I cannot praise the team enough. As well as the high level of care and attention, the nursery invest in activities for the children including yoga, french lessons, tiny mites and even have an on-site forest school! My daughter comes home with a big smile on her face and lots of stories to tell! I highly recommend Happy Tree!

Most importantly, the happy wonderful caring and intelligent staff are 2nd to none.

I have had both of my children enrolled at Happy Tree because of the level of attention, engagement, positive feedback (from my child) and the level of care taken to take into account the child's needs to ensure they thrive. The staff are friendly and communicate clearly and respectfully. I love getting updates via the app as I love to see what my child engages with during his day. I also love getting little bits of memorabilia to keep forever!

My daughter has attended Happy Tree since she was 9 months, she is now 31 months old and is thriving as a result. Without doubt, my daughter's confidence and social skills have flourished, in addition to the teachers supporting both my daughter and I at every stage of her development and learning. The facilities and cleanliness and security of the nursery is the best in the area in my opinion and the variety of learning activities are exceptional. I can honestly say my daughter is happy going to nursery to see both her friends and teachers. It takes a village to raise a child and the staff at Happy Tree are very much part of our village.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything.
