Review of Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Verwood from Karl P (Father of Child) published on 18 June 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Nursery provides a warm, caring and supportive environment where staff are very good with the children. The nursery staff are also very good with the children. The nursery staff are also very supportive with key developmental milestones, including potty training and helping children develop their walking skills.

They take the time to get to know each child individually, understanding their needs and supporting their development in a way that suits them best.

Review of Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Poole from Laura D (Mother of Child) published on 13 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son has been attending Happy Days for just over six months now, and we couldn't be happier with his progress. He has formed wonderful bonds with his key worker and the wider team, which made his transition so much easier. He genuinely looks forward to his days there! We are impressed by the nutritious variety of meals provided and the imaginative range of activities. The standout feature for us is the outdoor space and wild garden - it's a fantastic environment for children to explore and learn.

Reply from Lynn Wordsworth, Nursery Manager at Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Poole

Thank you so much for a lovely review. The Team in Tiny Explorers are beaming!

Review of Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Verwood from Ellen L (Mother of Child) published on 31 March 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

After initially being aprehensive about my son starting nursery, I did my reaserch of the local area and found Happy Days Nursery the best fit. We completed a viewing where my son was immediately comfortable. The generouse amount of settle sessions prior to starting made the adjustment seemless. My son started feeling confident & secure in his surroundings & bonded with the staff quickly. The team are warm & calme, creating a beautiful atmosphere. The app gives me updates following each session but the handover on pick up is always so detailed I never need to wonder what my son got upto in the day. My son is always excited to go to nursery and I can see how content he is in his surroundings. We love HDN so much we have booked in for more sessions - so glad we found this wonderful nursery

Review of Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Poole from S D (Mother of Child) published on 18 March 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My son has been attending this nursery for a while now, and I couldn't be happier with the experience he's having. The teachers are incredibly friendly, warm and genuinely caring. It's clear they put a lot of effort into making the children feel comfortable and supported. My son seems very happy here, and that alone gives me so much peace of mind. The other children are welcoming. The classroom itself is spacious and filled with plenty of engaging activities to keep children busy and stimulated. The garden is also lovely - a wonderful space for them to play outdoors. I appreciate the healthy snacks and dinners provided. My son can tell me about his day, and I am genuinely happy.

Review of Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Poole from N G (Mother of Child) published on 11 March 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My daughter thoroughly enjoys going to Happy Days Nursery. She has made lots of friends, and she has a great relationship with her teachers in class. The activities are fabulous and very educational, and my daughter's development has really improved since attending. The staff are friendly, caring and very supportive and make it a special place for the children to learn and play. The food choices and the food given could be a bit more varied. The same food given regularly, more meat based food should be provided, lots of vegetarian and non meat based food served, but lots of fruit, which is great. I think Happy Days Nursery is very good, keep up the good work!

We love Happy Days and could not recommend them more. The girls in both Explorers 1 and 2 have made my daughter and us as parents really comfortable and informed on every step and progress. We couldn't be more thankful for the love they show my little one.

Overall Experience

My little boy started at Happy Days last March and moved to Explorers 1 in December. The staff have always been so lovely, and he has settled in quickly to the new room. We are always kept up to date with what he has been doing, and we love seeing the pictures. He has learnt so much. The staff are always setting up different activities to keep them engaged. We are really happy that we made the choice for him to attend Happy Days.

Review of Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Poole from Amy P (Mother of Child) published on 9 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter has been attending Happy Days Poole since she was 12 months old. She turned 3 last year and is now moving up to the preschool room. Our daughter has excelled whilst being at Happy Days. She is a bright happy 3 year old and loves her days at nursey. She has also made some great friends. The daily activities from making bread, water play, discussing emotions etc. are brilliant and our daughter talks about these fondly. The staff including the management team are excellent. They understand each child's needs and makes sure they feel happy and secure. We are always kept informed, either personally or via the family app. We could not recommend Happy Days enough to other parents and have already referred family members to the nursey.
