Happy Days Opens New Boorley Green Nursery Following 10-Year Journey


Happy Days Nurseries & Pre-Schools proudly celebrated the grand opening of our new Boorley Green setting yesterday, with a special ribbon-cutting ceremony for invited colleagues and members of the local community, where the ribbon was officially cut by Happy Days Executive Chairman, Mark Beadle

The opening marks the result of a decade-long journey, as CEO Kim Herbert reflected on the project’s origins and the challenges overcome along the way. “This has been a long 10-year journey, since our first discussions back in 2016,” she said. “Despite planning delays and the challenges of the pandemic, we remained committed especially as we continued to hear from families in the area who were in need of high-quality childcare. We were delighted to receive planning approval in February 2024 and to open earlier this year. At the heart of everything we do at Happy Days is the simple aim to offer more children the very best opportunities.

“I would like to personally recognise Kevin Higgs, Developments Director, and Nicola Brooks, Head of Development, both of whom have been involved in this project for ten years. Their dedication and commitment have been invaluable throughout the journey. I would also like to extend my thanks to Jackie Cambridge, Head of Quality, for her support in the final stages leading up to opening.

“Finally, I would like to thank Kim Amos for her leadership and commitment, and wish her and her team the very best for the future as they begin this exciting new chapter at Boorley Green.”

The development was delivered in partnership with NH Developments Limited, led by Nick, Jim, and project manager Adrian Long, whose collaboration played a key role in bringing the vision to life.

The new nursery will provide much-needed, high-quality childcare for local families, supporting children to shine and giving them the very best start in life.
