About Happy Tots Day Nursery
Our vision is to provide quality and inspirational learning for children.
Our setting is registered for 172 children and provides excellent indoor and outdoor facilities. Our building is double storey and purpose built. It is conveniently situated in Ardene Park, Abbey Road, Barrow In Furness. We are easily accessible from across Barrow In Furness and the surrounding villages with very good links to the A590 for those travelling from further afield.
We know it can be daunting to choose a nursery for your child and understand the anxiety this decision can bring as you can be leaving your child in someone else’s care and education for the first time. We work closely with families and actively encourage parents/carers to become involved with their child’s learning, building further on these parental partnerships throughout your Happy Tots journey.
We provide the highest standard of care and education; our dedicated staff support child-initiated, spontaneous play as well as offering a range of focused activities and because staff understand the needs of each child in their care they are able to challenge and encourage them to be inquisitive and make outstanding progress. Happy Tots is a unique environment in which children are actively encouraged to explore, learn, communicate and interact with others.
We have an extensive enclosed garden for each area where the children can play in absolute safety. ‘Outside’ play is an essential part of the nursery day at Happy Tots – it is only inclement weathers that keeps us indoors! The children help to garden and plant bulbs, seeds, herbs according to the seasons.
Happy Tots offers a homely caring environment where your child can truly ‘Learn Through Play’. We seek to employ the very best staff from the local area and we pride ourselves on our staff retention and between us we have decades of knowledge and experience. The experience and quality of our team really shines through and they are totally dedicated to their job.
We Provide Quality Childcare
We pride ourselves on providing high quality child-centred holistic care for your child in a secure comfortable setting. Our practitioners are highly skilled in maximising every opportunity for learning and as a result children make rapid progress in all areas of development.
The first few years of your child’s life are the most important; at no other point in their life will they learn and develop so much. It is important to nurture them through these formative years and we provide a safe, stimulating, and challenging environment for them to develop to their full potential.
We have a wide range of play activities and equipment appropriate to your child’s age and we work through a stimulating, planned and child-initiated curriculum to make sure development is balanced and thorough.
We use the Special Carer system to ensure every child has a sense of familiarity and belonging, giving them a good base to play, make new friends and develop a love of learning. Across all our rooms we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Framework, giving us an excellent, approved base to make sure every child becomes the best they can be.
We firmly believe that children benefit the most when parents/carers and staff work together in partnership. The nursery team welcomes parents/carers as partners and this relationship needs to be built on trust and understanding.
