Join us at Verwood Nursery for a magical festive activity designed especially for our over 3’s!

📅 Friday 1st December | 🕒 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM
This sensory-rich session encourages imagination, fine motor skills, and creative thinking as little hands arrange and experiment with natural and festive materials. Once their designs are just right, we’ll help turn them into a unique card they can take home and treasure.

Sep 22, 2025
Last Thursday, we were delighted to host our very first community event at Boorley Green Community Centre, allowing families and local residents to meet the team behind the brand-new Happy Days Nursery and Pre-School, which is currently under development at Boorley Green.
Set to open in January 2026, the nursery will provide a vibrant, nurturing, and inspiring environment where children can learn, play, and thrive. The event was designed to engage with parents who are considering a nursery or pre-school place for their child and to give the community a chance to learn more about what Happy Days has to offer.
Throughout the day, families were able to:
The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with our team on hand to answer questions, share insights, and talk parents through the journey of securing a place for their child. We were thrilled to meet so many families who are interested in joining our new setting and to receive such positive feedback from the local community.
This was the first of a series of information events we’ll be holding in the run-up to opening. They are a fantastic way for families to get to know our team, ask questions, and feel confident about the care and education their child will receive at Happy Days Boorley Green.
📅 We’re excited to announce that our next information event will take place on Tuesday 4th November at Botley Grange Hotel. Further details of this event will follow shortly.
We look forward to continuing to build strong connections within the Boorley Green community and can’t wait to welcome families to our brand-new nursery and pre-school in January 2026.
