Day Nurseries Owned by Happy Days Nurseries & Pre-Schools in Devon

My child requires additional support, and Amber is fantastic, goes above and beyond to make sure their transition will be as smooth as possible. If I ever have another child I will be ensuring they attend Happy Days as I just don't trust anyone else with my child.

I only wish I had found this nursery for my eldest child. I've had 2 children go through Explorers 1 and Adventurers 2. They were amazing with my daughter that has cerebral palsy, making time every session to do physio and OT exercises with her, and have been brilliant with my son who is incredibly clingy, but always has good things to say about school.

She enjoys the outdoor space they have and she goes out everyday they are creative with toys/games they play and she seems like she learns something new everytime she comes home! Their food menu is varied and appropriate age wise as well. I highly recommend this nursery!

If you're an anxious parent, looking for a professional, nurturing and gentle environment - you're in safe hands. My daughter is almost 3 and prior to Happy days, had not attended nursery. She was very unsettled when leaving us, but the staff at Happy Days went above and beyond to make her feel safe, loved and looked after. The settle sessions were incredibly nurturing, the activities were tailored to my daughter's interests to keep her engaged and create a sense of excitement. The management and staff are kind, approachable and so understanding. Our daughter has a severe allergy and this was taken very seriously - lots of protocols and practices are in place to keep her safe. I never thought I'd feel happy with her attending any setting, but I was always left feeling confident and secure in the knowledge she was being very well cared for. Thank you, happy days!

Happy Days has offered our little one exceptional care. It is the perfect size - big enough to offer plenty of children to mix with, but small enough that you get to know the staff quite well and quickly. Every single member of the team have been friendly, helpful and professional. We have been particularly impressed by our little one's key worker and the team in her room. On starting we were offered a number of settle sessions where the staff made it their job to ensure it worked. Working in education myself meant that there were particular provisions I wanted to see in place, and they are all evident in this nursery. On top of this, the food offered is amazing- healthy, freshly prepared and offering good variety. We also love it being a sing and sign nursery as this has really helped with communication. The team have recently worked very hard to arrange a care plan for our daughter following an operation where she has needed some extra support. I would recommend without hesitation.

Overall, we've had a fantastic experience and will be sad when she moves rooms! Thank you all! x

Two of my children have attended Happy Days Derriford for the last 2-3 years and the staff feel like an extension of our family. It feels like a home away from home for them and they will often ask when they are seeing their 'key-person' next. We have found the management team to be excellent when we have raised any issues and this is reflected in the professionalism, respect and kindness we are shown from the staff that care for our boys. All of the staff, including management, ensure they know each child and this reassures us that the boys are safe and loved whilst we are at work.. we can't walk through the nursery without the boys being greeted and welcomed. The nursery have been excellent at providing alternative food for our son with allergies and seating him at meal times without making him feel excluded. We think the sensory room is a wonderful addition and love how above and beyond they go at their Christmas event!

Can't wait to see my little one enjoy and succeed in his early years journey.

Happy Days Exeter have been so great with my little one, the staff in the rooms are lovely and attentive and the whole place seems very well run. There's always fun activities going on. They've also been very supportive with the potty training journey.

My daughter has recently started at Happy days nursery and I couldn't be more thrilled with the experince I have received. As first time mum, I was super anxious about putting my 9 month old into setting but watching her settle, has been wonderful. To have the app has been amazing, I love knowing how my daughter day has gone. Our daughter is a massive foodie and it's lovely to find out what amazing meals she has been eating. Big shout to the chief!

The staff's kindness, knowledge and support has been incredible. The staff in the babyroom has been amazing, my daughter is comfortable to play with all the staff in the room and has formed a lovely bond with her keyworker Mel. The management team are always welcoming and has been so supportive to us as a family.

While settling into nursery, my daughter developed an allergy and the nusery was very proactive in putting measures to ensure she was safe and the staff were informed.

Overall I would happily recommend Happy days nusery.

The staff have been absolutely outstanding in their support of my family. My son has very clearly benefited from the amazing care and the social aspect has brought him well and truly out of his shell. The setting is comfortable and welcoming making learning easy and fun. I would absolutely recommend this nursery and their staff.

I cannot recommend Happy Days enough - 5* always.

My started at exactly 9 months old, he's now 20 months! What a journey it has been so far, if you're looking for a nursery that builds relationships and takes excellent care of your little ones, I 100% recommend, my son has some struggles, and hasn't developed as quick as what is classed as normal but all the team take their time to support him, don't pressure him and make him feel comfortable to be able to develop at his own speed. I was so so worried about leaving my child in a place I was so unfamiliar, but as we all understand work calls and we go back to normal, but I am so glad this was the nursery we chose, my son is so well looked after, he barely wants to leave when I pick him up these days! Couldn't be happier with his progress and excited to see what the future holds for him at this nursery!

Thank you happy days for making me and my son feel so welcome at your nursery.

My daughter has been attending Happy Days Nursery derriford since she was 6 months old, she is now 2 and is loving it just as much as when she first began. The staff at happy days have been exceptional in providing my daughter with love and care for the days she attends. The amount of progress my daughter has made since attending nursery is nothing less of incredible, and I can truly say this wouldn't have been the case if it wasn't for the help of the staff at Happy days. The rapport between not only the staff and children, but also the staff and parents creates a brilliant environment, and one where I as a parent feel really comfortable sending my child to. The communication from management is brilliant, and always have answers for any questions that are brought to them. All the staff in the rooms do an amazing job with my daughter, There is no doubt that all the staff care about the children they look after, and it shows through the relationships they build with them.

Wouldn't go anywhere else and recommend to everyone who needs a nursery recommendation.

We have absolutely loved Happy Days Exeter. We had a terrible experience with our previous setting but Happy Days have been phenomenal in reinstating our trust with other unfamiliar people caring for our daughter. All the staff are so personable and caring and we fully trust that our daughter is in safe hands, but also that she has the best fun when she's at nursery. Thank you to all of the team!

The last year as the boys prepared for school has particularly impressed me, they have developed a natural curiosity to learn about everything, to confidently ask questions and be kind and considerate to their friends. The Exeter team have supported us through the minor & major transitions from battles over wearing hats to preparing for school. The learning based play over the last year has been structured to grow them ready for school and worked fantastically. We were very sad for the boys to leave happy days but excited & ready for school.

Our child has been over two years in this nursery. She created a very good relationship with the staff, everyone was very professional and knowledgeable. Also the staff was very nice and friendly. I would definetely recommend this nursery to anyone.

If we were looking for a nursery again it would be here, without doubt.
