The Team
Claire & Jason
Claire set Happy Faces up over 22 years ago. Her vision was to provide a quality educational play centre for under 5s. Her inspiration came from working in Japan as a nanny, training with children with additional needs and from being a Mum herself.
‘Creating an imaginative, fun and welcoming space for children to explore is our priority’ says Claire Thomas (founder of Happy Faces Ltd)
With over 30 years of experience working with children, Claire and Jason have worked together and built the Happy faces brand that has been accessed by thousands of families locally.
Danielle
Danielle started coming along to play sessions with her little boy over 5 years ago. She has been part of the Happy Faces team for over 3 years; Providing babies, children and grown ups with beautifully clean spaces to play. Daneille is the reason all of our toys still look as new as the day they were bought! Knowing everything is hygienically clean is so important to us at Happy Faces HQ. and Danielle really is a gem, always smiling no matter how messy our little ones make it! We always say we like to see it messy so that we can tell everyone has had a great time.
The Guineapigs
Peppa:
The oldest of our piggies, we made Happy Faces her home back in 2014. She loves a cuddle and spends her day eating and sleeping. She is the last one up in the morning and is the first to bed at night time. Peppa loves her fresh veggies, but apples, parsley and dandelion leaves are her favourite!
Doris:
The boss of the pack, she keeps her friends in check and she gives me the run around when I try to catch her. She makes sure she is the first to the food and can make green beans disappear in a flash!
Dotty:
Always running in and out of the tunnels, loves to hide and is still quite shy but she will happily sit on your lap especially if you feed her sweetcorn. The children seem to love her beautiful red eyes.
