Happy Days Nursery

Happy Days Nursery Our nursery is a happy, safe, secure and stimulating environment in which learning is actively encouraged through play.

Established for over 30 years, we are a family run full day childcare facility which also offers sessional care for children from ages 9 months to 5yrs inclusive. We aim to provide variety of first hand experiences which allow children to build on their natural curiosity as learners, develop language skills, use their imagination and develop social relationships. We encourage the building of posit

ive relationships with parentsโ€™ right from the offset to support childrenโ€™s emotional well-being and work within a framework which ensures equality of opportunity for all, aiming to meet childrenโ€™s individual needs. Our nursery is purposed built building, all on one level, with adjacent parking. The building consists of three playrooms which are spacious, bright, airy, well equipped and resourced. We also have child size toilets and disabled access to all areas. Within the playroom there are different areas in which the children can freely access; book corner, art area, home corner, sensory tent, movement area etc. The nursery is proud of its extremely large outdoor play area, which boasts a grassed area, a small woodland area, a hard safety surface section for ride-on toys, log cabin, tunnel, sandpit and a vegetable garden. Additional outside equipment is set out each day by the staff.

๐ŸŒ๐Ÿฆ Happy 100th Birthday, Sir David Attenborough! ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’

We have been very busy at nursery this week celebrating Sir David Attenboroughโ€™s very special birthday and everything he has done to help us understand and care for the natural world around us. ๐Ÿ’š

The children enjoyed a week full of exciting, nature-inspired activities! ๐ŸŒผ๐Ÿพ They had the opportunity to meet lots of amazing animals (a huge thank you to Animal Workshops Mobile Zoo ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‡), planted in our allotment ๐ŸŒฑ, created birthday cards and collages ๐ŸŽจ, sang animal-themed nursery rhymes ๐ŸŽถ, baked delicious animal-shaped biscuits ๐Ÿช, and took part in many other activities celebrating wildlife and nature. ๐Ÿฆ‹๐ŸŒณ

It has been a wonderful week of learning, exploring, and appreciating the world we live in โ€” just as Sir David has encouraged generations to do. ๐ŸŒŽโœจ
