We are thrilled to announce that Happy Days Nursery and Pre-School Penair has been awarded an Outstanding rating in all areas following its most recent Ofsted inspection – a proud leap from our previous ‘Good’ judgment!
Ofsted described the provision as “exceptional”, praising the nursery for creating a vibrant, stimulating, and inclusive environment where children flourish. From the moment they step into our woodland learning area to the many engaging group sessions and carefully crafted individual learning experiences, children at Happy Days Penair are thriving.
The report celebrates our children’s superb physical development, problem solving skills, and rich communication abilities – all nurtured through an ambitious curriculum led by our highly skilled and passionate team. Our youngest learners are given the freedom to explore, imagine, and persevere, supported every step of the way by patient, encouraging practitioners.
Manager Donna Harper and her dedicated team have worked tirelessly to embed a culture of excellence and continuous reflection. The inspectors recognised the strong leadership, meticulous planning for individual progress, and deep commitment to inclusion and diversity that runs throughout the setting. Children are not only learning -they’re thriving, respecting one another, building confidence, and developing a strong sense of social responsibility.
Some key highlights from the Ofsted report include:
“Children thoroughly enjoy their time at this exceptional nursery.”
“Staff leave nothing to chance and put in place a challenging curriculum that ensures children excel in all areas.”
“Leaders are passionate… and share their vision incredibly well with staff.”
“Children become deeply engaged in their learning… and are skilfully encouraged to extend and develop their ideas.”
The report also commended the nursery’s celebration of global cultures, its strong eco-awareness projects like local litter picks and recycling, and the inclusive approach to supporting all children to achieve their full potential.
Donna Harper commented: “I’m incredibly proud of our team and the dedication they show every single day. This recognition reflects our shared passion for early years education and our belief in every child’s ability to shine. Our children make Happy Days Penair the joyful, inspiring place that it is – and this is just the beginning.”
