We are truly grateful to Be Happy Nursery in Cippenham for the wonderful care and support they provided to our son Cristian. A special thank you to Meghan and Rachel – you have been absolutely amazing, professional, kind, and always supportive. Your dedication and positive attitude made a real difference in our experience.

My daughter had a great time at Be Happy Nursery, she learned more english, became more sociable, made new friends and loved her teachers. For us it was a lovely experience and my middle girl will join the nursery in September.

If your child has delays or SEN don’t bother attending this nursery! I had an absolutely awful experience here. After 5 weeks of ‘settling in period’ which i attended every single day with my child. I asked management what was the plan seeing as nobody was communicating with me or coming up any strategies or a plan to help my daughter settle in & 5 weeks of me attending with her was not helping. So after i asked for a meeting I was told they don’t think my child is ready for nursery because she cry’s a lot. Which is ridiculous, because that was not the case all the time. My child had been to other nurseries fine. There was no effort to help settle her in. Also 5 weeks settling in is ridiculous and only made it more difficult. Poor effort & communication from management. S**** & Ce***** were lovely.

My son really likes attending Be Happy Nursery. Every morning he wakes up with a smile on his face that he is going to play with his new friends. Now I can see how fast he’s developing and learning new things. Thank you lovely ladies - you’re doing great job!

Honestly I cannot reccomend the nursery more. I was a very very anxious parent as I had a bad experience in a previous setting but the staff are amazing! They settled my daughter in so well, my 2 year old doesn’t even look back at the doors just runs in and that’s down to the staff and the positive relationship they have built! So so glad we found this place :)
