Overview
We provide care for all children from the age of 6 weeks to 5 years, offering full days, short days, and half days in a family-owned and managed setting, providing a home-from-home environment. Happy Days is a relatively small setting, which enables us to foster a family approach to all of our children and their families. We provide on-site home-cooked meals, and menus are displayed weekly and include all relevant dietary information. As food is freshly prepared and cooked daily, we are able to cater for all dietary needs and requirements.
We also currently provide before and after-school care for Beardall Fields and National Primary Schools, and school holiday care.
Times and availability
Our services are available for 50 weeks of the year. We are closed for two weeks over the Christmas period and all Bank holidays.
