While the world is on turmoil in the Worst Recession on Record, where jobs are falling left right and centre, people are struggling to make ends meet, afraid to overspend because they don’t know…”What’s Around The Corner!” …Child Care Providers like us have to keep smiling and, just like every other business out there is doing, trying to do their best for You the Customer to ensure you are happy and satisfied with the service you receive.

Then BANG!!! along comes a news report from down south…London to be exact that Parents are complaining their Childcare Fees have increased FIVE TIMES in the last year alone! FIVE TIMES…FIVE TIMES…IN ONE YEAR!!! Are they MAD!

Look! NO ONE…ANYWHERE! North South , East or West has the right to expect You the Parent to cope with that kind of increase…it’s just totally unfair! Providers need to realise one thing and one thing only…People who need Childcare will Shop Around, just like they do with everything else and get the Best value they can for their money…isn’t that true? I know I do!

What’s even worse is that Parents like yourself don’t even know about the help available to help you to keep your head above water and actually ride this recession out. Did you know about “Tax Credits” and “Working Tax Credits” ? Even if you do, I’m guessing that you don’t know ALL of it and what it is exactly that you are allowed in benefits.

There are single Mothers’ out there who have no idea that they can actually Afford Child Care and that their Children could be receiving the best pre-schooling they can get at a really affordable price.

Over the next few days we at Happidayz Nursery are commited to helping you to understand the different forms of income help you can receive to give you that option of child care development that simply is unmatched, and “peace of mind for you and you Child”.

If you are really excited by this prospect then you can call our Manager Michelle, who will be happy to talk to you in complete confidence and privacy to help you get the income help you need.
Just Call: 07109 560303 between 9-5pm, ask for Michelle and let her know your personal circumstances. Michelle is very understanding and will help and advise you the best way she can.

Soon we’ll be putting up examples for you to compare with and see if they are similar to your own circumstances, then you can see for yourself what you’ve been missing!

The Children took part and had a really fun day. They enjoyed the challenge and loved taking
part in the bouncing activites on the Bouncy Castle.

Later we had two VIP guests that really surprised the Children…the VIP’s were the most loved
couple ever from Disneyland… Namely Mickey and Minnie Mouse…the Children loved to see
them and wanted to hug and kiss them.

They enjoyed lots of food and singing and dancing too…even the Staff had a great time and
all joined in to make the ChatterBox Challenge day something really special for the Children to
remember.

Hello Parent

We are very sure you came here looking for the “Best Childcare for Your Child“, and we
would like you to know that we are proud to be able to meet that need.

Why are we so confident?..because my Staff and I have been constantly training and improving our
Child care skills to meet the “High quality requirements that you the Parent have come to expect!”

We worked very hard to ensure our Ofsted report was not only good, but well above the national average to
do one thing….namely to gain your confidence in what we do and how we do it…that is, to not only Care for your
Children but to teach them and ensure their natural growth both in learning and playing and making sure they too
develop as happy confident children, ready for the challenges of the world they live in.

So now we would like you to know we have gone that extra mile and received the highly acclaimed “Quality Counts
Accreditation!

YEs, that’s right, Happidayz Nursery Rotherham, have been awarded Quality Counts, the Investors in Children endorsed accreditation scheme of National Day Nurseries Association (NDNA).

The Quality Counts kite-mark is a reliable indicator of the high-quality early education and care, which we have always striven to provide. Working towards this accreditation has enabled us to review all aspects of our nursery service to ensure that we are providing the highest quality care and education for your child(ren) as well as meeting your needs as parents.

We are confident that the kite-mark will reaffirm your confidence in Happidayz Nursery and demonstrates our ongoing commitment to quality.

For further information, please feel free to speak to me next time you are in the nursery, or if you are looking for Childcare you know you can trust, then give me a call on 01709 560303 and you can come down for an informal visit and see just how your Child would be welcomed into Happidayz.

Yours sincerely

Michelle Cleary
Nursery Manager

P.S. Below is an online copy of the Quality Counts Certificate for you to view.

I was talking recently to Early Years and they told me something which I think might be of interest to You
the Parent.

Schools are only supposed to intake Children from Nurseries such as Happidayz ONCE a year…that being the
start of a new term year in September. However I spoke with our Manager Michelle who has provided proof
that Schools are actually taking Children from Nurseries as and when they like.

We have had Children leave us, unprepared for School…and I’ll explain that later…
in February, April, June, July, October and November.

The reason the Schools are giving Parents is that they will “loose their place” if they do not
take their Child to School…when the School asks for them.

PARENTS you have been MISLED!!!

Schools are taking your Children because they are being compensated that’s all.

IF it was in the SOLE interest of the Child I would be happy with the situation…BUT IT’S NOT!!!

Children Are Unprepared For School

Children leave Nurseries Like ours with “Caring Loving Staff” up and down the Country and are going to School…
Unprepared.

Why…because…

• They leave Nurseries with Staffing Ratios of 1:8 going to Schools with Ratios of 1:20, 1:25, 1:30
• Bullying at 3 and 4 years cannot be easily controlled with high ratios in a class
• Some Children are leaving nursery before being fully Toilet trained…this can be embarassing for the Child
• At 3 and 4 years some Children struggle to feed themselves…do Schools allow for this?

Here at Happidayz we try to cover all the above plus a lot more to ensure your Child is getting a full and
enjoyable day each and every day. Children learn best through play and by being creative…working closely
with no more than 8 children at a time ensures they all have their say and are allowed to grow and gain
confidence quickly.

Children who leave us at 4+ are confident and competent. They are happy and have grown to such a stage,
that things they were timid about when they were 2, are no longer barriers to them as they are fully prepared for
School.

One Child who came to us when he was under 1 year old was very quite and timid…he was a very nervous little boy
who did not want to do anything or try anything.

He is now able to converse with anyone…Child or Adult with ease, he is creative, expressive and intelligent. He has plenty of friends and enjoys every day with a radiant smile that tells you he’s happy. His Parents are happy too.

There is talk of Schools giving 4 year olds exams…I hope this one doesn’t get through…as it is totally…ridiculous!

IF you really want to help your Child…allow them to have a “Childhood” first…before being made to grow up too soon!

Steve

P.S. You will not loose your Childs’ place at school. Your Childs’ place is there right up to the age of 5 years old. If you would like to know more on this issue, please pick up the phone now and call Michelle our Manager, who will be happy to answer all your concerns.

P.P.S. If you take your Child out of Nursery and they don’t settle in school it could be that they are not prepared as stated above. In this case you are more than welcome to bring them back to Nursery, where our RATIO is 1 to 8 (ie. 1 Staff member to 8 Children), which means your Child will receive much more attention when they need it the most. Call Michelle for an informal chat to clear any doubts you may have.

TEL: 01709 560303 8am-6pm Mon-Fri.

Hope you are all in good health, enjoying the thought that spring is just around the corner, and looking forward to that summer holiday vacation.

We were trying to give something more to you from our website and saw a new product on the market that we thought you’d like.

It’s our new HappiToyStore and you can get to it by clicking the GingerBread Man Link Button.

In there you will immediately see lots of different categories aimed mainly at children from toddler age to school age. It’s fairly easy to navigate and you can pick up some real bargains as the main listings are also on ebay, and we all know how everyone likes ebay for bargains and ease of shopping.
