I would highly recommend this Nursery, my eldest has just left to start school and thanks to happy days staff she has transitioned into school with confidence and at a developmental level that has allowed her to cope with her new learning environment. In her 2 years at happy days she loved everyday she was there and built some solid friendships with other children and the staff. My son is now at happy days and he also loves going there. The staff here are warm, kind and caring......they are a really lovely team who are all passionate about caring for children.

My daughter loves going to Happy Days. She has been going since she was a year old, and has transitioned through each of the nursery rooms with ease. In each room, the staff have been fantastic and all staff have got to know her really well - it feels like an extended family! She is due to start at school in September, and I have no doubt that she will transition well into the next stage of her educational journey because of the educational development and confidence she has gained from being at Happy Days. I would have no hesitation in recommending this nursery to a fellow parent!

Absolutely amazing nursery. Both my children have been so happy there and that is mainly due to the wonderful staff. They are so caring and patient to all the children but also provide so many fun and creative activities for them to do. My children come home each day chatting and buzzing about the things they have done and the lovely friends they have there. I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery to anyone. Seeing my children flourish and grow in confidence is something I owe to Happy days and I am so grateful to everyone who works there.

My daughter loves it and asks to go to nursery even at weekends. The staff are absolutely wonderful, carrying, nurturing and committed to the children in their care. A few years back we visited a number of nurseries in the area and from the very first visit to Happy Days we knew this is where we wanted our daughter to go. The manager was so understanding of the anxieties and worries new parents like us were experiencing when choosing a nursery and immediately put our minds at ease. Our daughter started the nursery at 6 months old and the lovely staff have helped her develop into a socially confident pre-schooler. It is great to see the children forming friendships, they are kind to each other and play well with each other. And this is all thanks to the dedication and hard work of the staff. Thank you Happy Days nursery! This review was written in response to the recent Ofsted report which fails to mention all the brilliant things about Happy Days nursery and also fails to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of all staff at Happy Days.

Fantastic nursery - our son loves going to Happy Days and has been attending since January when we moved to the area. The staff are so caring and welcoming and he loves the variety of activities on offer, with a great outdoor space to be active, let his imagination run wild and play with his friends. Thanks to the nursery he's physically and mentally come on in leaps and bounds and is a very happy little boy which is a reflection of the staff and his surroundings.
