Overall Experience
My child is so happy to go to this nursery everyday. I cannot recommend them highly enough. My child is well cared for in every aspect of his day. Freshly cooked meals, warm caring staff. A safe environment with plenty of stimulation.

The place is amazing and the staff are brilliant, such caring people who are great with kids. I feel my son has come a long way since being there albeit not very long but my son's development has improved massively with such good facilities. It's very well run and organised would recommend it highly to anyone who is looking for child care in the area and very reasonably priced.

As a mother, finding the right nursery for my son was a top priority, and I am so pleased to have discovered Happy Haven Day Nursery. From the moment we walked in, it was clear that this is a nurturing and supportive environment for children. The staff is incredibly attentive and genuinely cares about each child's development. They create engaging activities that foster learning and social skills, which has significantly helped my son thrive. I appreciate their focus on both education and emotional well-being. The facilities are clean, safe, and designed with children in mind.
Overall, I couldn't be happier with our experience at Happy Haven. It truly stands out as the best in the area, and I feel fortunate to have found such a wonderful place for my son to grow and learn. Highly recommended!

As a father bringing my son to The Happy Haven Day Nursery, I'm incredibly impressed with the experience we've had. The nursery's attachment-based approach is truly remarkable. The staff go above and beyond, creating a warm and welcoming environment where my son feels safe and cherished. They have a remarkable ability to connect with each child, ensuring that their emotional and developmental needs are met with genuine care. My son has adapted wonderfully, and I attribute this smooth transition to the exceptional support and attention he receives daily. I wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to any parent seeking a place where their child will not only be well cared for but will also Rise and Shine with them.

It has been a joy to see my grandson thrive at The Happy Haven. Every time I pick him up or drop him off, I am always impressed by the warm and welcoming atmosphere created by the staff. They are not only professional but also incredibly caring, treating each child as if they were their own. It's clear that they genuinely love what they do, and that makes all the difference. My grandson is always excited to share stories about his day, talking about cooking activities in the Kidz Kitchen to having fun in the soft play area. The nursery does an excellent job of balancing educational content with creative and social activities, helping him develop a love for learning at such a young age. I'm especially pleased with how they encourage good manners and kindness, which are values we deeply cherish in our family.
I highly recommend The Happy Haven. We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a wonderful place and see how much he is 'Rising and Shining' in the last month!

I just wanted to leave a quick review to just say if you're looking for somewhere amazing to leave your child, The Happy Haven Nursery is your place! My baby girl has just started and I was so scared and anxious like a mother would be, but they are honestly so amazing and so lovely, I love their philosophy, love the Kids kitchen and soft play, it's the best facilities I have seen (and I've viewed many nurseries before setting my eyes on this one)! It's the best I have seen in the area, and they give you a private nursery tour unlike the other nurseries. The food is halal so another thing I didn't have to worry about! The staff are welcoming and warm and my baby girl adores them already, she cannot wait to get up and go nursery in the morning and as a mother there is no greater feeling of safety and satisfaction than that, so if you are looking for somewhere I highly recommend booking your private tour and it will speak for itself! Thank you again Happy Haven Day Nursery!

The Happy Haven Day Nursery really lives up to its name - a happy haven for children. In comparison to other nurseries my children have attended, this nursery excels all. I was invited in for a personal show around, introduced to the friendly team that work there and was then presented the fantastic services the nursery has to offer - from all the incredible facilities including a kids' play kitchen and a soft play area through to the tooth brushing programme and all the extracurricular activities included in the fee, I was then informed of what an attachment-based nursery could do for my child (wonders!). The nursery itself is clean and has been well-considered in design and layout, the nursery is also small in size which gives me comfort that my child is not just one lost in amongst many! They also cater to all food requirements, including halal which I am very happy about! My youngest daughter has just started there and she comes home a very happy girl! Thank you The Happy Haven!
