My Daughter attends Happy Days and she loves it!! The staff are great and very friendly. Moving into the next room has always been a difficult task for my daughter but the staff have gone above and beyond to ensure that she is as settled as possible. I have already recommended Happy Days to a few of my friends and would continue to do so :):)

As a member of staff of the nursery working in pre school and as the team leader for the breakfast club and after school club , I can honestly say we offer a high standard of care to all the children we care for. The quality of care we provide is not just because it’s “our job” it’s because every single one of us who work at Happy days Love our jobs with a Passion and love the children we care for. We have an amazing relationship with all the parents as well as amazing and long lasting memories shared with the children. The children I’ve cared for in nursery come back to the breakfast club or the after school club, which I’m proud to be the team leader of, helping to run this also helps parents feel reassured knowing they have a familiar face that they know from nursery and knowing the children well enough to know of any dietary requirements or long term medication that the children are on also reassurance parents that they child will be in the best place and kept safe. I can say we offer a wide range of activities and skills to all the children of all ages helping to build with their development and knowledge from the nursery, to the breakfast and after school club to the holiday club, every child I see go home always has a smile in their face telling their parents what they have been up to. As a mum who’s child attends happy days I can honestly say my daughter absolutely loves going to nursery she’s grown so much in her development, her social skills and her language skills and she also likes acting out her favourite teachers x I know the team look after my daughter and every other child like they were their own and trust the team completely knowing my daughter is safe and happy.

Very well cared for and a seamless transition from pre-school to the school next door. I cannot put into words how pleased I am with this nursery. My son after I had to take him out of the previous nursery (my other review) moved here and was really well cared for. The staff really went above and beyond to settle him into his new nursery and he made some very close friends which are also in his year at the school next door. A lot of familiar faces from pre-school moved up to the school next door so no first day at school nerves. Now his little sister is at this nursery and the same great experience. This nursery with the pre-school really does prepare the children for school. Not a single negative thing to say, great place!

We moved our little girl from her previous nursery due to not settling after a few months. We visited anchorsolme happy days and new straight away she would be happy & within a few days she was running in & started to love nursery. The staff are brilliant & as we come to the end of our time at pre school we really will be sad to see her leave but we cant thank them enough for giving her the confidence & the best memories ready to start her journey through school. I would definitely recommend going to have a look at this nursery, you wont be disappointed :)
