Welcome to Happy faces Childcare
Our Childcare Ethos
As a dedicated childcare charity proudly based in Burnley, Lancashire, we are deeply committed to offering equal opportunities to all local families and safeguarding every child in our care. Our primary goal is to provide a secure, motivating, and highly supportive environment where your child is free to develop and grow at their very own pace.
- A Home Away from Home: We know that starting nursery is a big step. We have intentionally created a warm, welcoming atmosphere designed to encourage a gentle, relaxed transition from family life to nursery life. Our spaces are richly equipped with a wide variety of resources to spark curiosity.
- Dedicated Key Workers: Your family's journey to nursery life should be fun and stimulating. To ensure this, we use a dedicated key worker system, providing consistent, personalised support for both you and your child every step of the way.
- Highly Trained & Passionate Staff: Our caring staff are fully qualified and continuously encouraged to expand their skills through ongoing professional development. This ensures your child always receives the highest standard of care.
- Learning Through Play: We firmly believe that children learn best when they are having fun! We actively encourage them to explore, discover, and learn through play, which is a wonderful and natural way to engage with our Early Years Curriculum.

Our OFSTED Registration
OFSTED is the government regulator responsible for ensuring that early years settings across England meet stringent safety, care, and educational standards. This includes monitoring our staff-to-child ratios, ensuring our team is fully pediatric first-aid trained, and checking that our staff hold the appropriate early years qualifications.
To make sure these high standards are consistently maintained, specially trained professionals carry out regular, thorough inspections. We are proudly registered with Ofsted under the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). We believe in complete transparency with our parents, so you will always find our current report linked here, it is also available on request as a printed copy.
