I have two children at Happy Stars, aged 3 & 1. It was clear from the start that we had found an absolute gem run by the most fabulous team. Both children were supported so well through the tricky transition from home full time to nursery and both of them settled into nursery very quickly with this support. There are always fun creative activities for the children to take part in, including some excellent things like yoga and theatre club. They have a large garden space that is well looked after with lovely additions like a fairy garden and a reading corner. This summer they even started growing vegetables with the children in it. They really involve the parents too with lots of special events throughout the year (Christmas show is a highlight). My children really love the staff and are excited to get to nursery every day which is such a joy for us as parents. Would recommend this nursery to anyone!

Happy Stars is a truly wonderful nursery with an amazing staff who are so kind, caring, and always attentive. They really care about each child's development and learning. Activities are always new and creative, and focused around the children's current interests. They do so many different things each week, from cooking to yoga to special outings. The indoor space is bright and luminous, and the garden area is great and much-loved by our son. We are so fortunate to have found Happy Stars, it's truly a family-like setting and a place where children can thrive. Parents are also very much included in nursery life with feedback and various events we can participate in. All in all a wonderful place that we'd recommend in a heartbeat to any parent.

I'm incredibly happy with the care my child receives at Happy Stars. The staff are truly caring, loving, and attentive in every way. They take the time to get to know each child, making sure they feel safe, supported, and genuinely valued. I've seen such positive growth and confidence in my child since starting here, and it's clear the team puts their hearts into what they do. I couldn't ask for a better environment, the outdoor space is an amazing addition to the facilities- highly recommended!

My daughter has attended Happy Stars since she was 1 and she is about to leave to start school in September, aged 4. She has thrived in all areas whilst being here and we could not be happier with the nursery. The staff are incredibly calm, kind, attentive and genuinely care about the well-being and development of each child. She has visibly blossomed-becoming more confident, social, and curious each day. The daily activities are creative and engaging, and it's clear thought goes into planning a well-rounded curriculum that balances learning and play, which coincide with trips out of the nursery too. It is clean, safe, and welcoming, with a lovely outdoor space that the children adore. Staff go above and beyond to welcome and include families in their children's achievements. We are so grateful to have found such a lovely setting.

We've got two kids in Happy Stars and they absolutely love it. The teachers are so caring and supportive. They focus on developing the kids skills and behaviours whilst still allowing for all the fun and play the kids could want. They encourage parents to be involved frequently and it has a really family feel to it which we really appreciate.

Warm and supporting nursery, wonderful environment for my child to grow in. Nourishing team, holistic care and huge help for parents to deal with daily dilemmas, very experienced team which very low turnover- some of the teachers are there since opening (more than 12 years ago). The team is very United and the manager is very inspiring with very good self example for all teachers and parents. Our experience of two years in happy star was fantastic and waiting for my next baby to come there as well

Both of our kids went to Happy Stars, and we couldn't be happier. The staff are so kind, caring, and always made our children feel safe and loved. It truly felt like a second home. We're really going to miss everyone at Happy Stars. Thank you for all the love and care you gave our children. We'll always be grateful.

My daughter has been going to Happy Stars for about 3.5 years and it’s like her second home. It’s a really special place and we feel very lucky to be able to send her there. The nursery is such a lovely environment, inside and out. The staff are wonderful, and they truly care about the interests, needs, and development of each and every child. My daughter thrives there and has the sweetest bond with her key worker, in fact all of the staff! We’ll really miss Happy Stars when she graduates this year.

We have had an excellent experience with Happy Stars Day Nursery Ltd and our child is incredibly happy there. The settling-in process is exceptional and really helped our little one settle in quickly and happily. All of the staff genuinely care for all of the children, and the setting is really wonderful and leaves lots of space for open-ended play or play structured by the key workers. There is a really strong routine there, and they learn lots of practical skills through play (like preparing snacks). Our little one has developed so well in this setting, has learned loads and is really happy there. There are organised parents events which are really lovely, and allow you to see the kids in the nursery setting. The food is great and our child eats really well and the staff also really helped to adjust to napping in a new environment. Overall we are really happy with Happy Stars Day Nursery Ltd it’s the perfect nursery for us and I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery.

No complaints at all. We think that the teachers help our son to grow as a person, learn and become more independent and also better at sharing. He's very happy there. He seems to enjoy the food, which looks healthy judging from the menu. The teachers are fantastic and you can tell they really care about the children. They also make sure the children are safe. I fully recommend Happy Stars Day Nursery to any parents who want their child to grow emotionally, intellectually and as a person and most of all to have fun – after all, they only get one childhood.

Both of our children have attended Happy Stars Day Nursery. It is a wonderful nursery, with a well established team and great leadership. The care they’ve given our children is exemplary. Our younger child loves attending nursery, he has made lots of friends and enjoys the variety of activities. Our older son also loved it and we found that it prepared him well for starting school.

I love this nursery and so does my son! They provide a safe learning environment, it is clean and tidy, has a vast amount of activities (inside and outside the nursery) for the children and update parents every day. I am enjoying watching my son's development which I believe is flourishing due to the teachers and I can’t thank them enough! Thank you Happy Stars Day Nursery. I am forever grateful

Excellent nursery. Been here a year. Periodical feedback with photographs and assessment of birth to five matter, also contribute to own observations which I've found useful as it helps over time os align home ad nursery is development. My daughter is being exposed to various cultures and caregivers which sets her up for development and progress in reception. Food is good, play is good. THank you Happy Stars.

We have been thrilled with our time at Happy Stars (almost 1 year). All of the carers are warm, patient and focused on the childrens well being. It's also great that most of them have been working there for years and are very invested in the nursery. The environment is happy and inviting and the outdoor space has lots of different areas and activities for the little ones to independently explore as well as play in together. The carers also take guidance from, and encourage, the children's interests and it is great to see the different ways that our son's speech, motor skills and interpersonal skills have developed from his time at Happy Stars. The other families that attend happy stars are also very kind and welcoming and we feel incredibly lucky to be sending our son there. There's nothing like seeing him excitedly run into the breakfast room in the morning and knowing that he feels comfortable, safe and welcomed in the environment!

My son has been at Happy Stars for 18 months. It is a fantastic nursery - excellent space/facilities (including outdoor space), and very caring and attentive staff. Feedback is regular (end of every day at pickup) and thorough and they are happy to discuss any issues with settling or behaviour/development in more detail if necessary. Food is plentiful and regular with a wide variety of nutrition and specific dietary requests are accommodated.

Our daughter started at Happy Stars 9 months ago and we could not be happier with the nursery. The staff are incredibly kind, caring, observant and thoughtful and clearly really care about the children. They have built a great relationship with our daughter - she goes off happily to staff every day and seems to love her time there. They were very supportive and reassuring during the initial settling in period. They do varied and creative activities and the children spend a lot of time playing in the garden. I would highly recommend Happy Stars.

Our experience overall has been excellent. Our daughter, and we, have been made to feel extremely welcome and comfortable. Everyone has been caring and attentive with incredible open lines of communication. We are particularly impressed by the team's responsiveness and clear, constructive, and regular feedback. Our daughter is extremely happy there. She is continually learning and is freely allowed to explore areas she is interested in. They also have the most wonderful cook who has opened up our daughter's taste buds with the variety of her delicious menus. We cannot recommend Happy Stars Day Nursery enough.

We are really happy with Happy Stars as a nursery and so pleased our child is there to be cared for, develop and have lots of fun. The settling in period took a little while (as due to Covid, our child hadn’t seen anyone outside of family really) but the nursery was really nice and understanding and after the first few weeks, they were clearly enjoying being at nursery. Our child is now thriving there and they do lots of great activities we would never think to do with them at home. They have grown in confidence and learnt so much. They eat such a variety of food at nursery (snacks and meals) which all sound really good. We get good feedback at the end of the day and our child has formed a close bond with many of the staff but, in particular, their key worker who they adore. Would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone!

My daughter has been attending Happy Stars since she was 13-months-old and her last day will be on Monday as she starts big school on Tuesday. I can’t recommend this place enough. In the three years, my daughter has attended, she has flourished. The nursery has a family feel and I’m honestly gutted to be leaving as I love it as much as my daughter. There is so much to love about Happy Stars but highlights include the warm and caring staff, the fantastic chef, a big garden that is constantly updated to stimulate children’s interest and encourage activity and a huge focus on helping children become independent and self-motivated.
