Introduction

May we take this opportunity to thank you for your enquiry, and welcome you to the Happy Days nursery.

We feel that it is vital for parents to have as much information as possible, before deciding on their child's early education, and we hope that the following information will be of both interest and value in helping you to make that all important decision.
Happy Days nursery was founded in April 1990 by Mrs Toni Weidner, a qualified infant teacher, experienced in working with reception classes. Toni, (Cert. of education) is mother to three children and feels that her experience both as a mother and early years teacher is of great value and benefit in running the nursery.
Happy Days which is ofsted approved is a purpose built nursery situated at lubards Lodge Farm, Hullbridge Road, Rayleigh, providing excellent facilities both indoor and outdoor with adjacent parking ensuring easy and convenient access for parents picking-up and dropping off children. The building consists of a large general activity area, which includes a "messy play" corner, two classrooms and child-size toilets. The nursery is proud of its extremely large outdoor play area, which boasts a hard (safety) surface section for ride-on toys, a log cabin, a tunnel, a two metre square sandpit and a planting area.

Parents are very welcome, in fact, encouraged to view the nursery prior to registering their child.
