About this day nursery

Happy House Daycare, established in 2020, is a Good-rated nursery in Liverpool, inspected on January 4, 2023. It welcomes children aged 0-4 years.

Children are greeted by warm and caring staff, settling quickly and demonstrating a strong sense of belonging, sociability, and confidence. The curriculum focuses on developing communication skills through songs, stories, and signing.

The dedicated special educational needs coordinator works closely with staff, parents, and external professionals to ensure all children, including those with SEND, make good progress. The nursery provides exciting learning opportunities, such as playing with natural objects and imaginative play with a dolls' house.

Staff also support children in understanding healthy lifestyles through robust monitoring of dietary, cultural, and medical needs, and by incorporating discussions about healthy living into daily routines. Parents report that their children settle well and that their development, particularly speech and language, is well supported.

While the nursery excels in many areas, the inspector noted that children who prefer outdoor learning are not as well supported, and improvements to the outdoor curriculum are recommended.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), demonstrate a sense of belonging. Staff have a detailed understanding of the needs of their own key children. They identify, through termly assessment, if a child may need additional support. Staff work closely with the dedicated special educational needs coordinator, and in partnership with parents and other professionals supporting this. This ensures all children make good progress in their learning. Support for children attending who have SEND is strong. Additional needs for children are identified and responded to in a timely and appropriate manner, using external agencies where necessary. As a result, all children, including those with SEND, continue to make good progress, and any gaps are identified and dealt with effectively.

Outdoor space

Children who prefer to learn outdoors are not supported as well. This is because staff do not yet apply the same level of consideration to the planning and provision of activities outdoors. The provider should strengthen the outdoor curriculum in order to fully support those children who prefer to learn outdoors.
