A NURSERY chain is opening its first setting in Wiltshire for up to 81 children.

Happy Days Day Nurseries has announced it will be opening a nursery in Longhedge.

The new location is due to open in January 2023 in Rhodes Moorhouse Way.

The nursery will have four rooms tailored to each age group and follow the brand’s early years curriculum titled “Where Children Shine”, with the aim of giving children the opportunity to learn, explore and discover.

The chain, which first opened in Cornwall in 1991, is a proven high-quality childcare provider with all of the nurseries being rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted.

Managing director, Kim Herbert, said “We are thrilled that we are now able to bring the Happy Days experience to families in Salisbury.

"As well as creating more childcare places to meet the demands of the community, this new setting will also create new job roles in the area, allowing passionate early years practitioners to join our growing family.

"This is the first new opening following our investment from Zetland, and we look forward to many more as we roll out our ambitious growth strategy over the next five years.”

Following the first nursery open event during the week starting October 31, families are being encouraged to secure their place as soon as possible.

The new setting will be open from 8am to 6pm, with the option of early and late session at 7am until 8am and 6pm until 7pm, 51 weeks per year, offering childcare and early years education to children aged 12 weeks to five years.
