My daughter loves Happi Feet and she has an incredible time there. The feedback is always on point and sufficient. There is always a range of activities for her to get involved in and learn from. The staff are amazing, knowledgeable and friendly and management is easy to contact and discuss with. I am so glad that we chose Happi Feet nursery. I have seen my daughter grow in leaps and bounds. Thank u so much for everything Happi Feet.
Amazing Lovely staff supportive caring Flexible, great setting with big outdoor play area, Great communication you get a app to keep updated of your child’s progress and pics of there activities, my child was always happy here, free parking bay for prams scooters that’s covered to protect from rain. My child loved it here as a parent I felt happy confident and had no issues at all with anything what so ever deffo recommend this nursery
I have sent both of my children to Happi Feet Nursery, and have found that both of them are kept safe, fed, clean, entertained and educated. The staff have been very accommodating, kind and caring, and knowledgeable when questioned. I have excellent feedback daily from the staff looking after my son, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
Do not pick this nursery for your child. We found the following major issues with the management when our daughter attended this nursery. I also have to say that staff is amazing and the teachers in the baby room are wonderful but management ends up ruining it all for everyone. 1. Too many children of all ages for too little staff. Ever changing random staff members that your child can never get used to. In the mornings it will be hectic and all kids from breakfast club to babies will be in one single room with way too few staff members trying to manage breakfast time. 2. No fruit or healthy food. The management wants to save not just on staff but on food and nappies too. Breadsticks and crackers were the only ever snacks my daughter got so I ended up bringing in fruit and yoghurt for her. 3. Saving on nappies - we picked up our daughter several times with her nappy full of poo. After complaining they immediately rushed to change her nappy when they saw us at the gates but not for long hours beforehand... We gave feedback and there were some minor changes made but the main principles mentioned above will never change until the management changes. The deputy manager apologised but the manager told her off in front of us in the meeting saying ‘what are you apologising for?’... Do not let your child suffer, dont pick this nursery!!!
My experience with Happi Feet was not great. I visited and everything seemed okay and on that basis I paid their deposit and booked the taster / settling in period. During the course of the 2 days I found their staff were not very knowledgable they couldn't assist me with basic questions about plans and learning and the deputy manager was very abrasive including handing me a written warning even before my child had started school with them. This was upsetting because I'd been informed the session on day one would be for 1 hour and day two would be for 2 hours ... I didn't go home but was waiting in town to kill the time on day 2 when I got a call after one hour followed by a written warning even though I pointed out that they had misinformed me. They also aren't generally too clear re policies and procedures which was a bit worrying and in the end I decided not to proceed and picked from one of the many better schools in the area. I sought a refund of the £880 I paid as we never started with them but the manager refused to refund any part of the fees paid even though we didn't attend for a single day. Again they were more interested in the money than listening to my feedback. I later discovered their OFSTED inspection report stating that "There are insufficient qualified staff" and "staff lack skill" . This was reflected in my experience with them throughout . Do yourself a favour and try one of the other schools with clearer policies and practices and more professional and pleasant staff. As a parent it's important to feel you can work with your child care provider and this school failed on that point also.
My child has been attending for a few months, I am extremely satisfied with the care and love shown by everyone at Happi Feet, would highly recommend to all.
Changed the placement days and times 3 times, too many children in one classroom the staff didn't pay much attention to my child she didn't want to go back so is now attending a much better nursery and is enjoying it, I wouldn't recommend this place
Extremely satisfied with Happi feet, no complaints.
