About us
Happy Days Pre-school is a charity-run pre-school, headed by a small committee of volunteers. Happy Days is a fun, nurturing environment where our focus is for children to learn through play, we are an inclusive setting and we welcome children from any religious or cultural background.
All members of our team have lots of experience of working with children, many qualified to Level 3, have full paediatric first aid certificates and are exceptionally caring. They provide high quality care for all the children and meet individual needs. Each child is allocated a keyworker who is a member of staff responsible for tracking progress referring to the Early Years Foundation stage guidance (EYFS) and for relaying information to the child's parents.
"Amazing pre school that goes above and beyond. Wonderful, caring staff. Well planned and engaging activities for the children. My son absolutely loves it !" A.A.
"Thank you sooo much to the lovely Happy Days Team! My little boy is 2 and this has been his introduction into life away from his family. It's like a home from home and I can't thank you enough for all the support you have given us both..... allowing me to stay and play and taking into consideration his silent reflux with regards to his settling in plan. When he is feeling well and himself he is totally LOVING nursery....THANK YOU!" C.B.
