Excellent nursery
Happy days is an excellent place to have your child at. My 5 year old went there at 2 and received all aspects of development skills confidence school readiness and toilet training. She was more than ready for school thanks to them. My 2 year boy now goes and is confident eats well due to varied menu and enjoys all games toys and outdoor play.would highly recommend.

Friendly and Welcoming Nursery
Happy days is a warm and friendly place to send your children, the staff are approachable and always willing to go the extra mile to accomodate your individual needs. My son has benefited from being in a room with children his own age and having an EYFS teacher on board will help set him up for school.  He has formed bonds with all the staff and is more than happy to have cuddles with any of them including the lovely nursery cook who has been really patient with his fussy eating habits. He now eats so well and more often than not will go back for more. As parents we have seen his confidence grow and his development flourish but the most important thing of all is that he is HAPPY!!! Well done Happy Days!!

Amazing !
Both my children attend this nursery and they both love it, my LB went from 10 month and my LG from 9 month and they are just amazing ! They take so much time to teach your children things you probably would have not though of teaching. My LB has come on amazingly and his speach is brilliant for a 2.5year old. My daughter is having fun exploring everything and keeping the staff entertained.  I thank them for all that they have done for my children! And for all that they continue to do!
