Happy Jays Nursery - Scarborough

My little boy went here and I also had to take him out due to him crying every morning not wanting to go. He told me that he couldnt play when he wanted to and that the food was yukky! The food given was basic and as cheap as they could make it. I really wish I had taken my son out sooner as the look of joy as he goes to playgroup now is priceless!

I never write reviews but the review on here is completely wrong and I felt obliged to give another view. Happy Jays is purpose built therefore completely geared for the children's best interests. Security is excellent. I have 3 children that have/are attending and we would thoroughly recommend. Meals are cooked everyday and are varied and nutritionally balanced. Yes the children queue to go to the dining room but I think this stands them in good stead for school dinner times. A massive reason to goto Happy Jays is that you can just take your children without much planning as everything is provided - nappies, milk, wipes, food etc.... yes you might pay a bit more but its worth it. The manager is lovely and most of the staff have been there years and we have seen grow and progress. I can't understand why anyone wouldn't be happy there. As for letting the children play - they do! as the children get older pre-school activities are bought in but I think the balance of fun and education is excellent. I would recommend for anyone.

Used to be a fantastic nursery but unfortunately with the majority of employess leaving due to bad management the quality and standard of care is poor. Food is basic and not worth the money and children are not allowed to simply "play" but have to adhere to a strict schedule of tidying up and standing in queues for dinner which, in my opinion is too much to ask of a small child. I took my little boy out after he cried every morning and refused to go.

Not recommended at all.
