About Bath
Nursery

Welcome to Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School in Bath — a warm, purpose-built setting located within the Mulberry Park development on Kellaway Lane, BA2 5AE. Our nursery offers the ideal environment for children to grow, explore, and learn at their own pace, with easy access for families in and around the local area.

Inside, our calm, neutral spaces are designed to nurture curiosity and independence. We offer carefully chosen, low-level resources that inspire creativity and confidence, while our secure outdoor areas are open throughout the day, supporting our free-flow learning approach.

Every day at Happy Days Bath is filled with stories, songs, and opportunities to explore. At the heart of our approach is our unique Where Children Shine Curriculum — a carefully crafted framework that encourages each child to develop socially, emotionally, and intellectually through hands-on, meaningful experiences.

Our passionate and experienced team is dedicated to forming strong bonds with children and their families, creating a safe and supportive environment where children feel valued and confident. Happy Days Bath is where children shine — naturally, joyfully, every day.

Meet The Manager

Jodie Baggs

Hi my name is Jodie and I have been working at Happy Days Bath for 3 years now. I have over 10 years of experience in childcare and have over 5 years of experience in management. I have a level 3 in childcare and also a level 3 in Forest school! I have recently came back to work from maternity leave after having my first child who will be starting with me back at Bath.

I love being outside and ensuring the children get to experience nature in all its wonders. I believe there is no bad weather just bad clothing.

Fees

We know childcare is such an important part of family life, and we’re here to make it as simple, clear, and affordable as possible. There are numerous government schemes available to help with the cost, and we’ll guide you through your options so you can find what works best for your family. Why not get in touch today for a personalised quote? You can also take a look at our Affordable Childcare page to see the different types of support you might be entitled to.

Did you know Happy Days offers government funded childcare? Depending on your child’s age and your circumstances, you could receive up to 570 or even 1,140 hours of funded care each year — giving you extra support when you need it most.

We like to keep things open and straightforward when it comes to fees, so there are no surprises. Click the button below to see our weekly, daily, and session rates for the exceptional care we’re proud to provide. And if you’d like to talk through your options, your Nursery Manager will be more than happy to help, we’re always just a friendly chat away.
