And just like that, the summer holidays are done. Monday 31st August is a Bank Holiday, so the nursery will be closed.
A huge thank you to all of our Holiday Club children and families for making this our busiest and most exciting summer yet! We've loved having you with us and hope you've had as much fun as we have.
We really have had the best time. We've had library visits and scavenger hunts - bouncy castles and Zoolab - Creative Kitchen and Baby Bloom. We've cooked, baked and crafted. Little Kickers have kept us busy then we've had a spa day to relax. We've had superhero days with Spiderman, Fairy days with lots of glitter and sprinkles and a beach day with sandcastles. We've had lots of ice cream to get us through the lovely weather, so much outdoor play and lots of fun with our friends.

To all of our children not retuning next week — we wish you the very best of luck! We are so proud of how much you've grown and developed during your time with us. We will miss seeing your faces every day, but we know you're ready for your next big adventure!

And remember, even though you're starting school, you're always welcome back to Happy Smiles Holiday Club during future school holidays. Just drop us an email when you need a space and we'll do our best to accommodate you.
Have a fantastic weekend everyone!

3 years ago today!

Three years since we first opened our doors to the public on our very first Open Day!

Honestly, where has the time gone? It has absolutely flown over!

It’s crazy to look back and see what it all looked like back then compared to what we have now. So much had changed along the way!

Here’s a little throwback to what it looked like when we first opened our doors.

Three years on in our current home and we’re still going strong! (Next year Happy Smiles celebrates 20 whole years!)

Yesterday was our last Bloom Baby Classes Durham West for the summer holidays - but good news, they'll still be visiting baby room in Autumn Term!

We've really enjoyed our sessions over the last few weeks - a huge thank you to Harri for joining us and we can't wait to welcome you back.

ADMISSIONS

We’re very excited to say that we are very nearly full for September in our Baby Room - there may be one or two sessions available across the week.

As our children grow, we’ll be transitioning children into their next rooms throughout the autumn term, which means spaces will start to become available.

Baby Room: Very limited availability
2’s Room: Limited availability
3’s Room: Few spaces available

And if you’re thinking ahead, our Spring Term is already looking busy!

If you’re considering Happy Smiles for your child, we’d strongly recommend getting their name on our waiting list now. We are currently taking enquiries and names for all of next year, and spaces are filling quickly.

We’d love to show you our nursery, introduce you to the team and chat about what we can offer your child.

One final big treat - bouncy castle day.

That marks the end of our visitors - we’ve had so much fun and lots of lovely activities and work shops.
Next week we’re going to have lots of crafting, playing and preparing for the start of a new term (and big school for some of us!)

Have a lovely weekend everyone.

We had the best time this morning, looking at all of Elizabeths animals.
Although some of us were hoping she had brought a Giraffe along to see us, she had actually brought a Millipede, Frog, Snake, Snail and of course, the biggest spider we've ever seen!

There are more photos over on Tapestry for you to view.

Tomorrow we have Zoolab coming to nursery again. We're very excited to see all of the different animals.
