Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Lyde Green

Our daughter started at Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School – Lyde Green last year. She settled in very quickly and absolutely loves her time there. She has made new friends and loves seeing them. The staff are fantastic, nothing is ever too much trouble and they are always willing to help. I would definitely recommend Happy Days Nursery & Preschool – Lyde Green. It’s such a lovely nursery.

We took the very difficult decision to move our son from another setting to Happy Days Lyde Green. It has been quite possibly the best decision we ever made.
The nursery is new, fresh and has a social conscience (almost all wood toys, plastic kept to a minimum). The carers are professional and passionate about what they do and you can tell they really know the children well as individuals. Their enthusiasm is visible in the diversity of activities the children are involved with. For example his first week they turned the nursery into a space station! The journeys home are regularly filled with stories of arts and crafts, books and songs. Our son loves nursery and has flourished at Happy Days socially, physically and academically.
A wonderful variety of food is prepared onsite by chef, our son eats almost everything and it’s a daily battle to compete at home!
The caring and approachable office staff complete what is a truly amazing team.
I cannot recommend Happy Days Lyde Green highly enough.

Upon moving my eldest child from another nursery setting he has become more confident in everything he does. He talks about his friends and about what he has done all the way home. He is so happy at Happy Days and looks forward to going when he wakes up in the morning!
My youngest at 9 months old started in April and it is like he has been going much longer. He is so content there.
The nursery staff always wear a smile and the handover of the day is always so lovely to hear. They have always done so much, and often come back filthy! Which is great! Makes me happy that they are so happy.

My daughter has been going to the nursery for a few months now, she has settled in so well! I was anxious about how she would be and if she would like it but the staff were great, put my mind at ease and made my daughter very welcome. She is so excited to go to nursery now she beams every day when she is going in and has a big smile when she sees the staff. I also appreciate how thorough they are with letting me know what she has done that day, what she ate, activities she enjoyed etc!

As with many other parents, we were nervous about our daughter starting nursery at a year old as she had spent most of her life in lockdown!
I was able to visit the nursery and stay for a 1-hour settling in session and it put my mind at ease. The children in Explorers seemed happy, the staff were friendly and engaged and the facilities are great!
She has now been there for 4 months and she loves it! We get daily updates on her sleep, nappy changes, food and activities. We have already had a long phone call from her key person about her progress in nursery and how they are working on areas of her development.
It’s so lovely to see her becoming more confident, the staff are so lovely and they get her to go to sleep for naps (which is a miracle)!
The children get plenty of outside time if they want and the toys and games are really thoughtful and allow lots of open-ended play.

My daughter has such a special relationship with the wonderful staff at Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School – Lyde Green. She has been attending since the age of 9 months, now at just 2 she looks forward to going to nursery, the environment is safe, educating and loving for her. All the things I could wish for whilst I am at work and she is in child care. I cannot fault the professionalism and friendliness of the team.
Both my children have attended happy days, my son and daughter, my son attended a different setting prior to happy days, often he was unsettled and unwilling to attend. Once he started happy days he was such a different child, confident and happy, I have no regrets taking him out of his first nursery and placing him with happy days, he flourished heaps and loved every moment at happy days.

My son moved to this nursery as it was easier for me and his dad for work. The nursery made him so welcome on his visits and when he started his three full days a week. The adventurer’s staff are so accommodating to my son through his transition and he is happier than ever. He settled really quickly and made loads of new friends and even bonded with all the staff in both adventurer’s rooms. He comes home all the time talking about nursery. If we visit over by the nursery his face lights up and he says “my nursery”.

I have been blown away by the nursery. They have supported us fantastically right from the initial transition and continue to be amazing.
My child is always greeted with big smiles and open arms each morning, the team always make him feel welcome and excitedly encourage him into nursery. This makes mornings so much easier and happier for both me and my child.
As a parent, it is invaluable to feel confident and trusting of the team caring for your child. The nursery has gone above and beyond in supporting our family and care so much about children’s well-being. The manager is brilliant and cares deeply about ensuring children and families are happy and thriving.
The activities provided are exciting, engaging and creative! The team go the extra mile with providing fantastic experiences for the children! Including local walks!
A great space for children to explore, make friendships and thrive with the care of a brilliant, kind and caring team!
Thank you so much!

My daughter loves going to Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School – Lyde Green. Since joining the nursery we have seen her grow to be a happy, outgoing, kind girl. She has recently moved up a room and has settled in really well. This has been largely down to the support from the wonderful staff.

Fantastic nursery. The settling-in period was managed really thoughtfully. The key workers are all excellent and my daughter loves going here. We are so happy with the care and fun they provide. Thanks, Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School – Lyde Green!
