About
HAPPY HEDGHEHOG
We believe every child deserves a safe, loving, and peaceful place to begin their journey — a place where they feel happy, understood, and free to be themselves.
​
Located in the heart of Basel near Schützenmattpark, Zoo and SBB, our playgroup is a warm, welcoming space where families from all backgrounds feel at home. We have a nice patio and a garden where the children can play. We keep our groups small, so each child gets the love, care, and attention they need.
A quality playgroup in Basel you can trust
we strive to do
AMAZING THINGS
At Happy Hedgehog, play is how children learn best. We fill our days with singing, dancing, storytelling, movement, and creative play. These joyful activities support their growth, build fine motor skills, and help them feel confident and safe.
Above all, we care deeply about every child. We listen, support, and gently guide them, helping them grow at their own pace.
kind reviews
Fantastic daycare. My baby was taken care of with such skill and compassion while I was on a 5 day course in Basel. He loved it!
Highly recommend!
- Rosie
We love going to the fun events organized by Happy Hedgehog, and my daughter absolutely adores every minute of it! During these events, children have the chance to get crafty, sing, and dance together, with plenty of free play time.
- Nikolett
Our 6 year old son has a lot of attention and integration problems in all communities. Except the Happy Hedgehog.
He has been coming to the playgroup for half a year and he adores it! The teachers, Anasztazia es Darka are just wonderful, so caring so kind and so loving with the kids, engage them with really great games, take them out, accommodate all their needs, and my son loves them!

EVENTS
Monthly events are a special part of our playgroup. These joyful moments – like Carnival, Easter, Halloween, St. Martin lantern walks, Christmas, and singing circles – bring our community together. It is a time for children to play, and parents to connect, laugh, and feel at home. Building a warm, welcoming community means everything to us.
