I can't recommend Happy Childcare enough - our daughter had previously attended private nurseries which were great but here, it was like she joined a family ❤️ and she absolutely flourished. Emma and Paul have been so brilliant with her - especially as she had an unusual allergy to accommodate for. Thank you so much!

Aww she has been an absolute pleasure to care for. We will all miss her kind, caring and loving ways so much. Thank you😊
My daughter started in September 2021, and felt at home instantly. Emma and Paul were always very welcoming, and happy to fit around my timetable.
My daughter felt like one of the family, and talked about what she gets up to whilst she's with them. She's loved the new meals she's tried with them too.
I'd wholeheartedly recommend Happy Childcare for your children, I couldn't imagine anyone better to look after my daughter.

Excellent childcare provided treated our little girl as one of the family and loved being part of a lovely group of children.
Instantly bonded with our daughter and she always had a smile when we dropped her off and a tear when she left.
Emma and Paul were great in giving us updates and created a really informative newsletters that showcased all the amazing things the children have been up to.
Would definitely recommend as a loved and secure place for your little one.

I’m so glad I chose Emma and Paul to look after my little boy, they are amazing with him, he has been settled there from day one. He often doesn’t want to leave at the end of the day and talks about them and the other children constantly. I wholeheartedly recommend them ☺️

Emma and Paul have been looking after my 4 children for nearly 7 years. My children settled in instantly with them when they were babies. They are a lovely couple and their home is a very welcoming enviroment - they treat all the children they look after as their own.
They have been a great help with potty training and with their many years of experience it didn't take long for my children to grasp it which made life so much easier for me.
Time is made for reading stories and singing songs which has helped immensely with their speech and vocabulary.
My children have enjoyed many trips to the farm and playcentres with Emma, Paul and their family. My childhren have also gained friendships with the other children they look after.
Emma and Paul are highly professional and are very passionate about what they do. They have been an absolute god send to me and I dont know what I would have done without them. I have been able to go to work and have no worries about my children as I know they are looked after fantastically.
