Review from S H (Mother of Child) published on 12 September 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My son loves it, I am very happy with the high standard of care and affection ym son is provided with. He looks forward to going to nursery everytime. Biggest difference has been in the way he interacts, how his language is developing and just as important is his eating habits. He is able to eat independently. It's a pleasure to see the bond he has wit all the nursery teachers. Highly, highly recommend!

Review from B J (Mother of Child) published on 6 September 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has been at the nursery since she was 8 months old and is now 3 and a half. The staff including management are fantastic! They are extremely supportive and really know my child as an individual. The nursery communicates with me regularly and are always approachable. They treat her with such love that you can see they truly care and want the best for the children in their care.
They provide the children with a range of activities including teaching them Sports, Spanish and Forest Schools and regularly take the children to the local park and look to take them on trips when possible.

More than anything, the staff are honestly incredible and make sure my daughter has a great time at nursery! She loves going and that makes me as a parent so happy. I honestly wouldn't send her anywhere else and cannot thank them enough for how much they've supported my daughter in growing into the confident little girl she is today!

Review from Jenni D (Mother of Child) published on 2 September 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My daughter has a speech delay, and it was picked up very early by the staff at Happy Tree. From that moment on, they have gone above and beyond to help me get her the help she needed, help me fill out forms, guiding me where I should be looking to help support her more at home. Along with this, they have no issues with delivering her speech and language therapy within the nursery day as requested once she was diagnosed. We have been at Happy Tree now for nearly 18 months. I cannot recommend the nursery highly enough. They always put each child's needs first, and any concerns I have, are always addressed quickly and professionally. They notice every small detail about my daughter when her likes/dislikes change when she's learnt a new word. The staff are all emotionally invested and were visibly proud of my daughter when she was finally able to say their names after nearly 8 months of practising. My daughter truly loves it at Happy Trees; she walks in excited, doesn't look back and has only ever come home happy. Most days she's more upset that she must come home. To me, that speaks volumes.

Overall Experience

Very good, caring staff, very organized place. Very good learning structure. I am very happy with my choice of the first nursery for my son. Could be a little more flexible to accommodate the parents needs. Thank you all for your caring and lovely work with my son.

Overall Experience
My children have been attending the nursery now for four months and I am overwhelmed by the staff's enthusiasm and dedication to their development and overall wellbeing. The staff plan and prepare fantastic activities across both classes and my children enjoy the nursery very much.

It is a blessing to have found a nursery where I feel so comfortable to leave my children.

Review from Pankaj A (Father of Child) published on 6 January 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been at Happy Tree Academy since just after her first birthday. She is our 3rd child so we have had experiences of other nurseries and I can say, with confidence, that Happy Tree ticks all of the boxes. The nursery is well run, the staff are really on the ball with all of the small details and nothing seems too much trouble for them. I wholeheartedly recommend this nursery and we thank them for the excellent care they provide for our daughter.

Review from Kimberley (Mother of Child) published on 30 December 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

A really lucky find that felt leagues above all the other nurseries we looked at. We had to start settling-in sessions during lockdown (when my boy was almost a year old), which always felt welcoming but safe. He’s been at Happy Tree for 6 months now and has come on leaps and bounds. He really seems to enjoy his time there - enjoying playing, painting, doing crafts, singing, reading books and other activities (indoor and out!). The app means we know what he’s been up to and can see photos from his day, which was a big contributor to us choosing this nursery. Our son also has a food allergy which has been catered for with absolutely no fuss- the staff are knowledgeable and experienced with this.

Review from Kathryn T (Mother of Child) published on 30 December 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been at Happy Tree Academy for 3 years and really enjoys herself in the safe, caring and fun environment. She has developed well following the Early Years Foundation Stage. The staff keep us well informed each day in person and through the Blossom app. They have handled the Covid pandemic with real sensitivity so that the children have not become worried about this. We have signed our baby son up to join the nursery next year.
