The Staff

Our dedicated team, consisting of Child Care Staff, Cook and Nursery Manager are specifically trained and experienced in the care of young children and babies.

Staff are here to meet your child's physical, social, emotional and educational needs while at Nursery, and to ensure you are kept up to date on their progress.

It is our policy that in addition to their child care qualifications, all staff are trained in First Aid, Food Hygiene and Fire Safety.

At Happy Days you can be sure of:

  • A warm welcome for you and your family.
  • Our commitment to provide you and your child with the best in nursery care and early learning.
  • Peace of mind. Knowing your child is well cared for in a safe and happy environment.
  • Qualified and experienced staff who will work in partnership with you.
  • A varied range of activities designed to help your child learn while having fun at the same time.

Your Child at Happy Days

For much of their time at Nursery your child will join a small group of children of similar age and ability, looked after by the same member of staff, in a system known as the key worker system. Within these family-style groups children play, work and eat together, giving them a sense of security and continuity.

Each session your child will have the opportunity to try a wide range of activities planned by the staff to promote their learning and overall development. They will also gain the vital social skills which enable them to play and share with others.

Your Baby at Happy Days

Our cosy Baby Room has room for up to 3 babies at a time with full provision for sleep and play. Staff work very closely with you, the parents, and at the end of each session give you a detailed account. Morning and Day Sessions include a late breakfast and two course lunch. In addition, tea, consisting of fresh fruit, biscuits or cake and a drink, is provided for day and afternoon children.
