Happy Stars is the most wonderful nursery. My daughter, now 5, left in the summer after 3.5 years and my 2 year old son has been there > 1 year. We went to another nursery for a few months before we got a place there for my daughter, and it just didn't compare. The nursery are like family and
create the warmest surroundings, full of fun and education for our children. The staff are all so caring and the kids love them so much, they never want to come home!
My daughter's in reception and at her parents evening, the teacher said how good she was at following routine in the class, putting her coat on, going to the toilet etc and this was all instilled in her from Happy Stars as they teach them life skills and make sure they're independent from a young age!
One final point - the menu, it's delicious! All the meals are freshly prepared on site and they have such nutrition and variety, you would think it is a restaurant menu!
I would 100% recommend!

Our son has been going to Happy Stars for a year now and he (and we!) could not be happier. The care that the long-standing staff provide is exceptional, everything is well thought through from daily learning and play activities to special occasions throughout the year - with a really good, natural
balance between development and fun. I can see how much my son has developed and how happy he is! Its a really inclusive, family-feel nursery which I love, under excellent management.

We are so glad we send our daughter to Happy Stars. She loves it there and often doesn't want to leave at home time as she's having so much fun! The staff create a nurturing and safe space for the children to learn and develop their language and physical skills. They encourage her confidence and
independence whilst also gently maintaining boundaries. They are constantly organising new fun activities which opens up her understanding of the world around her, including embracing the outdoors in the garden, sensory messy play and day trips. A particular highlight for her was getting to watch newborn chicks hatch from their eggs and hold one in her hands. She talked about it for weeks afterwards! The children are fed nutritious food cooked on site by a dedicated chef who creates a menu with flavours that reflect the diversity of the children there. Our daughter loves her friends and the staff at Happy Stars who have become her second family. We highly recommend this nursery!

I'm so pleased my daughter goes to Happy Stars.
The staff are so thoughtful and genuinely care about supporting the interests and needs of each child. My daughter loves crafts and drawing and comes home nightly with the most creative projects.
She's made the loveliest group of friends and has
really grown in confidence and independence since joining HS

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!
26 October 2022
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.
