I can’t recommend Nicki and Stew at Happy Days enough, they have cared for both my son and daughter over the last few years and we are very fortunate to have found them. They provide a home from home, an outstanding level of care along with fun days out, a range of daily activities to engage the children and support their learning and development. If you are looking for the best childminders around then look no further.

Nicki and Stew have looked after our little boy for the past 3 years and we can not praise them enough.
There home from home environment made leaving our little one with them so much easier. We were given lots of regular updates on how he had settled in the early days and then updates on what a great time he was having each day from then on.
There passion for providing high quality childcare and educational experiences is so evident and our little boy has developed enormously whilst in their care, not only in his personal and social skills with the friendships he has made and the life skills he has learnt but also educationally. We are so very sad that the time has come for our little boy to join school but feel like he had the very best start in Nicki and Stew’s care.

Nicki and Stew have cared for my daughter, Lilah, since January of this year. They are both clearly so dedicated to what they do, and have been a home from home for her - and such a pillar of support for us. They both clearly have such a passion for caring for children, and it shows every day when Lilah comes home full of chatter and excitement about her day. She’s had trips to Rufford and the Wildlife park, seen butterflies grow and enjoyed such a lovely troop of friends. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Happy Days!

My daughter has been with Nicki since 2017.
I knew I wanted a childminder instead of a nursery because I wanted a home environment & my little one to Feel like she’s part of a family.
This is absolutely true at Nicki’s. She loved my little in the same way I do. Nicki is bursting with kindness & care. She provides amazing opportunities for them- takes them to the deep, out for a walk & a cake, to music bugs, to play groups. Nicki was always accommodating whenever I needed extra support. She’s a superminder.

Our daughter was with Nicki from Happy Days Childcare from age 1 until age 4 before starting school Nicki is absolutely fantastic, I would highly recommend any parents to Nicki at Happy Days Childcare!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Nicki has cared for our daughter, as if she were her own and gives you fantastic feedback and support using the tapestry app and a daily diary and full quarterly development reports.
Nicki ensures children have lots of fun whilst learning and uses various techniques such as cooking,baking,crafting and days out,as well as play groups and play areas.
Thank you so much for all you have done Nicki for our daughter, we cannot thank you enough. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐💗💗
This review cannot cover everything,but If anyone requires further feedback please do not hesitate to contact me.

We feel very fortunate to have been able to send our daughter to Happy Days.
Nicki and Stew provide the very best care, ensuring that our little one is well taken care of and she is developed with varied and fun activities every day. The variety of activities and trips out is a real point of difference - I don't know how they do it!
With activities ranging from music bugs and soft play areas to visits to museumns and 'The Deep', the little ones spend their time so varied that we are envious ourselves.
We couldn't have been luckier and happier than to have found Nicky and Stew and will always be grateful for the exceptional start our daughter has made in all aspects of her development as a result of their outstanding efforts and consistency.
If you are considering enquiring about a childminder, stop considering and contact Happy Days immediately.

My two children have been with Nicki and Stew since September 2016. Despite us only requiring an hour a day and school pickup, my children are full of stories about things they have done or made at Nicki and Stew's house and clearly enjoy being there. When my children are with Nicki and Stew I know they are being well cared for and that they are having fun. I feel very fortunate to have found Nicki and Stew, they are lovely people and great childminders.

Although I did not use happy days as unfortunately they were not close enough to the school I sent my children to they we're extremely helpful in helping me find a childminder that was! Very friendly and quick response.

I can't recommend this amazing team enough. My daughter has been with Nicki and Stewart since she was 26 weeks old and I returned to full time work. I had planned to look round lots of different childminders but as soon as I meet this amazing team my mind was made up and made sure that my daughter would benefit from their amazing care. They have two fabulous boys who run to see Maddy whenever they get chance, and a dog that my daughter thinks is wonderful and giggles at.
She absolutely loves her time with them both, and everyday she has done something exciting, be it a trip out, baking, arts and crafts, music bugs or just general play time in the amazing playroom. I regularly have art work that has been created sent home which is amazing to have at home and at work. Everyday she has a different and exciting lunch which is recorded along with all her other exciting adventures in her daily diary.
Every morning when I drop my daughter off she is so excited to see Nicki or Stewart and doesn't give a second glance to me, making my working day a little easier knowing she is happy. There is nothing that I can't talk to them about, I genuinely worry what will happen when my daughter no longer needs to go....that or she will still be there at 18!

Nicki & Stew look after our 2 daughters - one who's 5 so they do the school run and have her in the holidays, and one at 18 months who they have full time. Both girls are incredibly happy there, and we have had no issues at all. They are both lovely people and have two sweet, well behaved boys and a cute dog who the kids love. I don't have to worry about the girls at all when they're with them (and I am usually a BIG worrier), and would recommend them to anyone.
