Our daughter joined when she was two years old and stayed until she was nearly five. Everyday was exciting and she loved going and seeing all the staff.
It feels like a family run preschool, the staff are always there to answer questions and support the children and parents. It was very apparent only a few months in that my daughter developed skills and was being support to develop further.
We were often gifted with handmade crafts made by the children celebrating Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and Christmas. You could see a lot of thought had gone into them.
Happy Days has given our daughter such an amazing start in life. We are so grateful for the love and support all the staff have given her and ourselves.
We would highly recommend Happy Days Preschool to any parent. The staff always go above and beyond, supporting the children and giving them the best memories.
Thank you Happy Days!!

both of my girls went to this nursery. The staff are lovely and warm. They care about the children and their wellbeing.
One of the best things about this nursery is that on special occasions such as Christmas and easter, they go all out with homemade gifts which speaking to others is not something most nurseries would do.
Karen, Carlie and jo are very approachable if you have any concerns.
overall both my daughters really enjoyed going here and I would highly recommend

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Happy Days Preschool. Our daughter joined when she was just two years old and stayed until she was nearly five, and throughout her time there she was always so happy, settled and excited to go in.
She absolutely loved all of the members of staff, who were incredibly patient, kind, caring and attentive towards her. They went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable, supported and confident, and we are so grateful for everything they did for her. They were also remarkable in helping us with potty training, making what could have been a stressful stage so much easier for both our daughter and us.
One of the things that impressed us most was the incredible creativity they brought into the children’s activities. The crafts they made with the children for occasions such as Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and Christmas were absolutely amazing. The thought, effort and imagination that went into them was truly special, and we have treasured every single one.
I have never been so impressed by the creativity and opportunities they gave our daughter, and it has definitely inspired her own love of crafting, which she still enjoys now.
Happy Days has given our daughter such a wonderful start, filled with happy memories, friendships, creativity and confidence. We will always be incredibly grateful to the whole team for the love, care and dedication they showed her. We would wholeheartedly recommend Happy Days Preschool to any parent looking for a warm, caring and creative environment for their child. ❤️

My little girl started shortly after turning 2 and had a really tough time being away from me. All of the ladies were so patient and helpful during the transition and trialled many different things to help her settle in. Ruby absolutely loved her experience at happy days and has grown so much confidence and so many skills since attending. There is great communication between the pre school and us as parents. They do some amazing activities with the children and plan lots of things to get the families involved. With it being smaller than most nursery’s, you can see the children have an amazing relationship with the adults, where they feel safe and content. I would 100% recommend this pre school to everyone!

We have had such a wonderful experience with Happy Days Pre-School. The staff are absolutely lovely, caring and supportive, and you can really see how much they genuinely care about every child.
Our daughter has been very happy there and has grown so much in confidence. She always enjoys going in and comes home happy, which for us as parents says everything. The staff have created such a warm, friendly and welcoming environment that it really feels like a little family.
We are extremely grateful for all the care, patience and encouragement they have given our daughter. We could not have asked for a better pre-school and would highly recommend Happy Days to any parent looking for a caring and nurturing place for their child.

After working in childcare I was sceptical of sending my son with additional needs to nursery. I couldn’t have chosen a better setting than ‘ Happy days’ the staff are amazing and the time & effort they put in with every child is beyond expectations. I am so grateful with how easy and enjoyable they have made the transition to nursery. My son adores every member of staff and has come on so well. I’m extremely thankful for all they do. I couldn’t rate them enough. Thank you!

My little boy really enjoys his time at Happy days. He has a good relationship with all the staff members and there is always a positive friendly atmosphere. Over the past year they have really helped him come out of his shell and I now have a confident and happy little boy. My daughter also started there recently and the staff have been brilliant with settling her in. I pick them both up with huge smiles on their faces. I highly recommend Happy days pre school.

My son has just finished 5 terms at Happy days and I’m so glad I chose them, they have a real family feel and are always so welcoming. My son used to be so shy and hide behind me all the time, but he has become so much more confident and has learnt so much. They do such lovely things with the children like making beautiful Mother’s Day and fathers presents. A lot of thought has been put in to the teaching and learning for all the children.. I have put my other son down already as I know he will do so well there too. Thanks you Happy Days.

Great nursery with a real family feel that has helped my daughter come out of her shell and really excel. They have given her so much confidence and she has learnt so many new skills. The staff are friendly, professional, happy and also keen to help wherever they can. They make a real effort for holidays (mother's and father's day, xmas, easter etc) as well as taking the older kids on outings to the theatre and local garden centre (via a bus and train). I will be sending my other daughter here when the time comes without a doubt

Well I could go on and on about how much we as a family love happy days. My daughter spent 2 very happy years there so when we had our son it was only natural for him to go as well. The staff are brilliant and they constantly go above and beyond with what they do not only with the kids but for the kids and us as parents. All the staff know the children and parents individually and that really makes it feel like a home away from home. I wouldn’t hesitate for a split second to recommend happy days.
