What our Happy Families have to Say
Cheryl, Gemma and all the staff at happy haven are warm, welcoming, always smiling and have great interaction with all the children offering a safe and homely environment.
We moved our son who is now three years old to happy Haven in January. Since moving we have noticed his development, language, dexterity and social interaction have all improved.
Happy Haven offers different activities everyday with lots of outdoor play. Our son looks forwards to going everyday.
I think anybody who’s looking to avail of childcare within this catchment area should definitely consider happy Haven as a place to send their children. Staff are open to discussion they will provide feedback on your children in relation to their day and it’s a very child centred nursery.

My daughter attends happy haven, I have 4 children and was always afraid of leaving them with anyone other than me. When I viewed the premises I was greeted with the most genuine, warmest and loveliest of staff. The rooms are fabulous, full of adventure for the kids and from the day my daughter started has loved it. The staff keep me informed of what she’s doing daily and send pics. I couldn’t recommend it enough! They love the kids like their own and have a really lovely environment.

Happy Haven is an amazing Nursery and well worth a 5 star review! Cheryl, Gemma and the rest of the staff are amazing people who offer an outstanding and quality service! Having worked with many of these individuals before I can attest to their intensiveness, caring characters and passionate personalities! Cheryl and her team set the bar high for Childcare in the Carryduff Area which makes Happy Haven stand out amongst the rest! Through quality and care this nursery builds fantastic and long lasting relationships and gives families peace of mind that their children are in the best place! I would highly recommended!

My granddaughter attends this nursery, and I am so impressed with how she has come on leaps and bounds. Staff so careful, and so loving. If I could I would send my dogs – which mean the world to me 💕

Happy Haven is a family run nursery set in the countryside with beautiful views and outdoor space for the children to help promote physical development and understanding of the world around them.
Happy Haven has such a warm and home like setting with a child centred approach to the care and development of the children. Nothing is too much for the staff that are always happy to help. Due a little one in July who is already on list to start when the time comes to go back to work.

I would highly recommend any nursery run by Cheryl & Gemma! They are kind & caring and provided a really fun environment for my kids.

Rachel McErlean
Such a fantastic little nursery run by the most amazing ladies. Kids are adored from the moment they walk in the door. Cheryl’s “wee sausages” are kept busy and well fed with nutritive meals and snacks throughout the day. They have regular outdoor time which helps with sleep! And lots of activities, singing and crafts. They care so much about the kids and both my children absolutely adore the staff and the rooms. Couldn’t recommend this place enough and neither could the children. I would give it 6 stars if I could! I wish I could stay all day too!
