July 2, 2021 at 12:00 amLovely small nursery where all the children know each other and the staff. Lots of outside play ad child directed play. Range of different fun activities and really caring staff. Very low staff turnover – most have been there for both of my children. Staff are very proactive in getting new toys and equipment to keep the children stimulated. My children have both particularly liked being able to plant vegetables and watch them grow. Also fantastic being able to be involved in cooking and the responsibility for serving their own food. Excellent nursery.

July 5, 2021 at 12:00 amI am very happy to wholeheartedly recommend Happy Stars to any parents looking for a fantastic place for their children to begin their nursery/education experience.
We have had one child come through Happy Stars and progress to school, with one still there and the best feedback I can give is that they have both been extremely happy there.
The staff/team at the nursery are great – always very friendly and professional, whilst being extremely proactive with keeping the children occupied with new and exciting things to do. We feel both of our children have developed really well whilst at the nursery which is a testament to the great work done by the staff.
Thanks, Happy Stars, highly recommended to any local parents!

July 5, 2021 at 12:00 amThe nursery is top class. My daughter has thrived here. The staff really care and always have time to let me know how the day has been.
I would be confident to recommend this place for anyone who needs a nursery space.
My daughter is beaming as she tells me what she has got up to.
She even eats the meals I can’t get her to do at home!

July 5, 2021 at 12:00 amHappy Stars is a really warm, caring and stimulating environment with wonderful staff. We sent our eldest there aged 1 after hearing rave reviews from parents locally. It’s a small business rather than a chain and it feels so personal and non-corporate. The staff are brilliant and there’s real consistency of care. They plan loads of very creative activities and there’s a great (and constantly evolving) range of things for the kids to do. There’s excellent outdoor space and the whole set-up is really relaxed and engaging (free flow indoor/outdoor, with lots of different play stations). Our youngest started recently (aged one) and has settled in quickly and happily, despite being a lockdown baby. Her big sister recently moved onto school and had a smooth and happy transition, helped no doubt by her time at Happy Stars and the confidence, security, positivity, kindness and curiosity nurtured there. Overall, it’s a fantastic nursery and I can’t recommend it highly enough.

July 5, 2021 at 12:00 amMy eldest child attended the nursery a couple of years ago and my younger one is currently attending and very happy to be there. Kids learn to be independent, love storytime, busy with art, drawing and counting etc. I am impressed with all of the staffs’ service providing child care, safety and home environment. I would highly recommend the nursery!

July 6, 2021 at 12:00 amOur daughter and son have been through Happy Stars for the last 6 years. We only have great things to say. Wonderful caring staff who know the children really well. They’re excellent at matching activities to the children’s interests and encourage independence from an early age. The manager and her team have good knowledge of local schools and made helpful recommendations.
Both of our kids have loved their experience at Happy Stars. We highly recommend them.

July 6, 2021 at 12:00 amIt brings such peace of mind to know that our son is happy to go to nursery every single day.
He is so well taken care of and we are very grateful to Happy Stars! He is not yet 2 years old but he comes home and often tells us about his day which will involve playing with trucks, diggers and water, and he loves to refer to the pudding.
Thank you Happy Stars and especially the staff for loving our son so much!

July 7, 2021 at 12:00 amHappy Stars Day Nursery is fantastic. My son is absolutely thriving under their brilliant care. His days are filled with creativity and adventure and his key worker and all of the staff are unfailingly supportive – of me too! They are there with advice and suggestions when asked and have constantly checked in throughout the pandemic. A really great bunch of people who have had such a positive impact on my son.

October 4, 2021 at 12:00 amWe are really happy with Happy Stars as a nursery and so pleased our child is there to be cared for, develop and have lots of fun. The settling in period took a little while (as due to Covid, our child hadn’t seen anyone outside of family really) but the nursery was really nice and understanding and after the first few weeks, they were clearly enjoying being at nursery. Our child is now thriving there and they do lots of great activities we would never think to do with them at home. They have grown in confidence and learnt so much.
They eat such a variety of food at nursery (snacks and meals) which all sound really good.
We get good feedback at the end of the day and our child has formed a close bond with many of the staff but, in particular, their key worker who they adore.
Would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone!

October 4, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been attending Happy Stars since she was 13-months-old and her last day will be on Monday as she starts big school on Tuesday. I can’t recommend this place enough. In the three years, my daughter has attended, she has flourished. The nursery has a family feel and I’m honestly gutted to be leaving as I love it as much as my daughter. There is so much to love about Happy Stars but highlights include the warm and caring staff, the fantastic chef, a big garden that is constantly updated to stimulate children’s interest and encourage activity and a huge focus on helping children become independent and self-motivated.

February 24, 2022 at 12:00 amOur experience overall has been excellent. Our daughter, and we, have been made to feel extremely welcome and comfortable. Everyone has been caring and attentive with incredible open lines of communication. We are particularly impressed by the team’s responsiveness and clear, constructive, and regular feedback. Our daughter is extremely happy there. She is continually learning and is freely allowed to explore areas she is interested in. They also have the most wonderful cook who has opened up our daughter’s taste buds with the variety of her delicious menus. We cannot recommend Happy Stars Day Nursery enough.

October 14, 2022 at 12:00 amOur daughter started at Happy Stars 9 months ago and we could not be happier with the nursery. The staff are incredibly kind, caring, observant and thoughtful and clearly really care about the children. They have built a great relationship with our daughter – she goes off happily to staff every day and seems to love her time there. They were very supportive and reassuring during the initial settling in period. They do varied and creative activities and the children spend a lot of time playing in the garden. I would highly recommend Happy Stars.

October 26, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son has been at Happy Stars for 18 months. It is a fantastic nursery – excellent space/facilities (including outdoor space), and very caring and attentive staff. Feedback is regular (end of every day at pickup) and thorough and they are happy to discuss any issues with settling or behaviour/development in more detail if necessary. Food is plentiful and regular with a wide variety of nutrition and specific dietary requests are accommodated.

October 31, 2022 at 12:00 amWe have been thrilled with our time at Happy Stars (almost 1 year). All of the carers are warm, patient and focused on the childrens well being. It’s also great that most of them have been working there for years and are very invested in the nursery. The environment is happy and inviting and the outdoor space has lots of different areas and activities for the little ones to independently explore as well as play in together. The carers also take guidance from, and encourage, the children’s interests and it is great to see the different ways that our son’s speech, motor skills and interpersonal skills have developed from his time at Happy Stars. The other families that attend happy stars are also very kind and welcoming and we feel incredibly lucky to be sending our son there. There’s nothing like seeing him excitedly run into the breakfast room in the morning and knowing that he feels comfortable, safe and welcomed in the environment!

November 10, 2022 at 12:00 amExcellent nursery. Been here a year. Periodical feedback with photographs and assessment of birth to five matter, also contribute to own observations which I’ve found useful as it helps over time os align home ad nursery is development. My daughter is being exposed to various cultures and caregivers which sets her up for development and progress in reception. Food is good, play is good. THank you Happy Stars.

March 16, 2023 at 12:00 amBoth of our children have attended Happy Stars Day Nursery. It is a wonderful nursery, with a well established team and great leadership. The care they’ve given our children is exemplary. Our younger child loves attending nursery, he has made lots of friends and enjoys the variety of activities. Our older son also loved it and we found that it prepared him well for starting school.

March 16, 2023 at 12:00 amI love this nursery and so does my son! They provide a safe learning environment, it is clean and tidy, has a vast amount of activities (inside and outside the nursery) for the children and update parents every day. I am enjoying watching my son’s development which I believe is flourishing due to the teachers and I can’t thank them enough! Thank you Happy Stars Day Nursery. I am forever grateful

March 20, 2023 at 12:00 amNo complaints at all. We think that the teachers help our son to grow as a person, learn and become more independent and also better at sharing. He’s very happy there. He seems to enjoy the food, which looks healthy judging from the menu. The teachers are fantastic and you can tell they really care about the children. They also make sure the children are safe.
I fully recommend Happy Stars Day Nursery to any parents who want their child to grow emotionally, intellectually and as a person and most of all to have fun – after all, they only get one childhood.

March 27, 2023 at 12:00 amWe have had an excellent experience with Happy Stars Day Nursery Ltd and our child is incredibly happy there. The settling-in process is exceptional and really helped our little one settle in quickly and happily. All of the staff genuinely care for all of the children, and the setting is really wonderful and leaves lots of space for open-ended play or play structured by the key workers. There is a really strong routine there, and they learn lots of practical skills through play (like preparing snacks). Our little one has developed so well in this setting, has learned loads and is really happy there. There are organised parents events which are really lovely, and allow you to see the kids in the nursery setting. The food is great and our child eats really well and the staff also really helped to adjust to napping in a new environment. Overall we are really happy with Happy Stars Day Nursery Ltd it’s the perfect nursery for us and I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery.

April 4, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been going to Happy Stars for about 3.5 years and it’s like her second home. It’s a really special place and we feel very lucky to be able to send her there. The nursery is such a lovely environment, inside and out. The staff are wonderful, and they truly care about the interests, needs, and development of each and every child. My daughter thrives there and has the sweetest bond with her key worker, in fact all of the staff! We’ll really miss Happy Stars when she graduates this year.
