Meet The Manager

Jay Sparkle

Hi my name is Jay and I’ve recently joined Happy Days Saltford as part of the Happy Days team. I have over 15 years of experience in early years, including leadership roles, and hold a BA (Hons) in Early Years Education. I’m passionate about creating a safe, nurturing space where children can thrive.

Outside of work, I love baking with my son, walking my two collies, and volunteering at my local Scouts group.

Happy Days has developed an ambitious, broad and balanced Early Years Curriculum titled “Where Children Shine”. It provides opportunities for children to learn, explore and discover, whilst attending a Happy Days Nursery.

Meet The Manager

Shai Trueman

My name is Shai, and I’ve worked in nurseries for just over 6 years. I started as level 3 practitioner, then went onto be a Room Manager, and worked my way up into management. I have a passion for early years and supporting children to learn and develop through holistic play. This is such an important age to ensure the children are ready for their transition to school. I have undertaken a variety of training, such as safeguarding, first aid paediatric, first aid at work and food hygiene.

We work very closely with our families to ensure we are supporting the children’s development at home and within the nursery.

Happy Days has developed an ambitious, broad and balanced Early Years Curriculum titled “Where Children Shine”. It provides opportunities for children to learn, explore and discover, whilst attending a Happy Days Nursery.

Meet The Managers

Ellie Wickett

Hi! I’m Ellie, one of the Nursery Managers here at Bradley Stoke. I began my childcare career at Happy Days in 2016 as a Nursery Nurse and progressed through job roles over my time here. I have been Deputy Manager whilst Stacey has been on maternity leave, and have now taken on a new and exciting role as Nursery Manager. I have two young boys who I enjoy spending time with and on the weekends you’ll find me pitch side, watching my eldest play football.

I am really looking forward to managing Bradley Stoke and providing consistency for the team and families. I am passionate about providing a warm and safe environment and love watching children develop throughout their nursery years.

Stacey Bailey

Hello, I’m Stacey, one of the Nursery Managers at Bradley Stoke! I have worked in childcare for around 12 years now, and I have worked at Happy Days since 2015. I began my career with Happy Days as a Room Supervisor, and have been Deputy Manager for the past 5 years. I hold a level 3 qualification in Childcare and Education, and I have a level 2 qualification in Makaton.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending all my time with my son George and going out on day trips with him. I am really looking forward to progressing the nursery forward with Ellie, pushing our team to reach their full potential, and striving to be the best that we can be.
