When my son joined the nursery in December 2025, we immediately felt welcomed. The environment is warm, friendly, and very well organised, which made the transition incredibly smooth for both of us. The staff and teachers were supportive, patient, and genuinely caring from the very beginning.
What
stood out to me the most was how quickly my son settled in. He loved the nursery almost immediately and had no difficulty adjusting, which speaks volumes about the nurturing atmosphere created by the team. The environment is beautiful, safe, and clearly designed with children's development and happiness in mind.
The manager, deputy and teachers are excellent-professional, approachable, and very attentive. Their leadership clearly reflects in the quality of care and the positive atmosphere throughout the nursery.
As a parent who had just started a new job in the area at the time, having such a reliable and supportive nursery made my life significantly easier.

Happy Wood Nursery has truly become a home away from home for my son. Last year, I struggled to find a nursery that felt like a safe and welcoming place for him. I viewed several others in the area, but none felt quite right. However, the moment I toured Happy Wood, I knew it was a "yes" for me.
My son has been attending for eight months now, and even though we've moved 25 minutes away, I still make the journey every day because it's worth it.
The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive-they always communicate clearly, whether it's about meals, naps, or any incidents throughout the day. The management is excellent and maintains great communication with parents.
My son absolutely loves the food, especially the desserts! The nursery is also spotless-the cleanest I've ever seen-and as a result, he hardly ever gets sick.
The only suggestion I'd make is for the app to be updated more regularly so we can view the photos of the children more clearly.
Overall, my son is happy

All the staff at the nursery are very polite kind and patient. They all take care of the children as if they were Theo's own. I am impressed with this service. Which allows me to stay home with peace of mind while.

My favorite part of the day that receiving photoes and daily updates via app.
Chef preparing tasty and varied menu for children.
In the last days I can't get my son out from nursery which is a good sign he
is having a lot of fun with teachers and with children there.
Thank you

Happywoods Nursery in Lewisham has been fantastic for our 12-month-old. They've been attending since September and absolutely love it. The staff are incredibly caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children's wellbeing and development. We've seen our little one progress so much in a short
time and come home happy every day. We couldn't be more grateful for the nurturing environment they provide-highly recommend!

I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough. My son is a toddler and absolutely loves going to nursery every morning - he's always excited and happy to go in, which says everything. He has become very attached to his key person, Toni, who has been amazing with him and has built such a lovely bond.
My son has additional needs, including a speech delay, and the support he has received has been incredible. The nursery has really helped him to improve, learn, and grow in confidence. We've seen such positive progress since he started, and we are so grateful for the care and attention he receives.
All of the staff are caring, loving, and approachable, and they always make time to talk and support both the children and parents. The environment feels safe, welcoming, and nurturing.
I would definitely recommend this nursery to others, and we are so happy that our younger daughter has now also joined the nursery.

We are really happy with HappyWoods! Our daughter really enjoys going in, has made friends and really grown in confidence since she started there. The staff are all lovely and we know she's in wonderful hands.
It would be great if there could be more trips planned out of the nursery but they do
get the kids involved in lots of activities throughout the year like reading week, recycling week etc.
It would also be useful to have a messaging function on the app to be able to have direct communication with the staff, however management do reply quickly to emails.
All in all, HappyWoods has been great for our daughter.

My two sons attend Happywoods nursery. My eldest has been there for two years and the youngest for 6 months. Both are really happy at the nursery and happily go in at the door each day. We like the fact it's smaller than some other local nurseries so the children really get to know all the staff and
they spend time in different rooms. This really makes the transition easier when they move up a room, and it means my two boys get to see each other for some of the day. The garden area is lovely and they do lots of activities including Spanish, singing, cooking and occasional trips out of the nursery. Both kids are really thriving here. The staff are always happy to chat about their day and give updates as we need.
