Review from A M (Father of Child) published on 30 March 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our daughter absolutely loves it here and has progressed so much in her learning since she joined in January. I only wish Happy Days Nursery was open when she first started her nursery journey at 9 months old. Staff are all friendly and welcoming and you can tell they make such an effort to get to know not only the children as individuals but us as parents too. Our daughter even asks to go to nursery on weekends! She is always coming home and telling us what she got up to throughout the day, and what activities they did. It’s had a huge impact on her development. We have had no issues from the management side, they are friendly and happy to chat, you don’t feel rushed at pick-ups and drop-offs. The food looks absolutely delicious! Freshly cooked by the lovely chef on-site and a lovely range of meals with some yummy desserts.

I would highly recommend Happy Days! From the moment we looked around we just knew our daughter would be so happy here.

Overall Experience

My boy has been going here since the Nursery opened. It’s the second nursery he has been to and when I leave him at nursery, I really feel like I’ve left him in safe hands. He is always happy to be dropped off there and he’s happy when we pick him up, you can tell he’s had fun. It’s a beautifully decorated nursery, we were so impressed with how much they’ve invested in every little detail for the children. The outside play area is fantastic big and spacious with lots for them to do. I love that the food is cooked fresh on site. My boy is benefiting so much from this nursery and I would highly recommend it.

Overall Experience
My child has been attending Happy Days Nursery since January and loves it.
He settled in straight away and is always happy to go and happy at pick-up time.
The staff are so friendly and engaged with the children. They never make you feel rushed at pick-ups or drop-offs. And always have time to tell you what your child has been up to.

I love the outside space the have, the quality of the on-site meals they provide and the cleanliness.

Overall Experience
My son has been coming here now since they first opened. He loves it there, the staff are amazing and so friendly and they make him feel so welcome every time he comes. He loves that he can play outside every day, they have lots of activities for the kids to do (painting, colouring, sand pit, books, toys) and I am so thankful for the staff in my son's room. They have been patient with him since he arrived and within the five weeks he's been there he is now out of nappies which is amazing! They have four different rooms that are suitable for different ages kids as well.

So glad I got the chance to let my son come here, he has gained friends, confidence and his speech is becoming better each day.

Review from Sophie B (Mother of Child) published on 3 March 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Such a wonderful nursery! The staff go above and beyond to make the nursery a home from home for both the parents and the children and really make an effort to get to know the children individually. It very much has a family, close community feel about it. My little girl has been attending for a couple of weeks now and we could not be happier with the nursery so far! She is so happy being dropped off in the morning, her little face lights up when she sees the staff which is such a lovely feeling for us as parents. The staff really are exceptional, it's very clear how much they care for the children, they're a credit to the nursery! They're attentive, quick to respond and provide a thorough update of my daughter's day upon collection, so I feel very safe in the knowledge that she is happy and receiving the highest standard of care. The food is second to none, my daughter eats better than us all! I can't recommend Happy Days highly enough!

Review from K S (Mother of Child) published on 3 March 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been attending since December 2022 he officially started in January 2023. From the moment we entered he was happy, not like he had been visiting other places. The staff were so friendly and made him feel comfortable from then on I knew this was the place he was meant to go to. The setting is beautiful everything is made from wood from substantial sources It's kept very clean. The staff as I've said are so friendly but they have made my son feel so comfortable he has attached himself to his key workers which makes me feel comfortable leaving him knowing that he feels safe with them. There are lots of toys which are aimed at different learning skills and each room is laid out the same so as they progress in their age and learning everything about the room stays the same. They have a sleeping area for them and an outside space which again is lovely. Parking is great and access is great too and they have a chef who cooks great fresh food.

Review from B G (Father of Child) published on 20 January 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My little girl has been attending for two weeks now since the nursery opened and it feels like she has been there for months.
The care and support the whole staff team have given during the settlement process and these early days is exceptional.
At a previous nursery we had battles to get her to leave us and go to staff members but here she is skipping through the door each morning and doesn't look back.
When she arrives home there is so much she has to tell us about her day, it's clear to see she absolutely loves her time at nursery and has developed good secure relationships with all the staff.
Food is fantastic, all freshly cooked onsite and goes down well.
Even with the rubbish weather lately she has been able to play outside, the staff's enthusiasm and excellent outdoor space is what allows this to still happen.

We genuinely can not recommend the nursery enough, if any doubts just book a tour and see for yourself.
