Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The support in place for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is strong. Leaders act swiftly and work well with external professionals and parents to get children the support they rightfully deserve. This helps children with SEND to make good progress.

Outdoor space

When outdoors, the curriculum is less effective. Some activities lack a clear focus and challenge, which means that children lose interest quickly. This means that children's learning experiences are not always maximised, particularly for those children who prefer to learn outdoors.

A gem of a nursery. I have been meaning to review for a while. This nursery is so welcoming and engaging. My 3yo had to change nurseries due to home relocation. She started in September 2025 and has been loving it ever since. My 6yo son also likes attending with her during the half term events. Diversity is lovely to have. It is not overcrowded which means the children can get substantial quality experiences. I feel that the staffing will easily adapt to having more new starters either way. The garden space is nice. The car park and church grounds make it a quiet and easy + safe drop off/pickup scenario. The staff are experienced, friendly and enthusiastic. A particular mention for Ms Erum and Ms Shital. Thank you to Ms Anishah (owner) for starting/keeping the nursery going for many years. Highly recommended nursery. I visited a couple of other settings when first choosing and this one really made me confident in my decision making for my now 4yo. It reminded me of her previous setting in a good way. I will send my 10mo baby in future.

My little one first started attending Happydays Pre-school just before she turned 3 years old. She is now almost 5, and we still enjoy being a part of the Happydays family, attending holiday clubs. Staff are attentive and friendly, and the children are happy and well taken care of. The setting is flexible and really understanding of the needs of both the children and their parents. They opened safely with satisfactory precautions in place when lockdown first eased during the Summer Term 2020, offering a warm welcome back to students after the long break, albeit under difficult circumstances. Would highly recommend.
