An extremely well managed nursery with very friendly and competent staff.
My little boy is just about to turn one and they've made the very daunting prospect of "sending" him there absolutely seamless. Really happy with the way he is looked after, the app updates us on his day and we get a thorough
rundown on collection.
The food he eats is first class and the chef is a really lovely lady. I think rather cunningly he's made friends with her first!
All the other parents I've come across have been very happy with it also.
Will definitely be sending our second child here.

Our daughter has been attending Happy Days since she was nine months old, and she has always felt very happy and safe there. Whenever we pick her up. She is always having a nice ti,e, and she is very fond of the children and staff. I asked her what her favourite thing about nursery is, and she said
'the singing' - she loves all the songs and says they sing every day!

Thanks to all the staff involved with my granddaughters care. I have gone from a very sceptical grandparent to an amazed supporter of your nursery. Our precious child has developed and thrived with your care.

We are incredibly happy with the care and attention our daughter receives at this nursery. From the very beginning, the staff have been welcoming, professional, and genuinely caring. I struggled with Post Natal Anxiety and being with my daughter on her settling-in days was such great help. One of the
standout features is their beautiful outdoor facilities - thoughtfully designed to encourage exploration and connection with nature. It's such a joy to see our daughter happy and socialising with the the other kids. She's thriving in this environment, growing in confidence, curiosity, and happiness. We couldn't ask for a better place to support her early development!

I am blown away by the effort and organisation Happy Days has put in place to really make sure my child settles, they have gone at my child's pace, they have got to know family relations and my child's interests to incorporate into his settling (including making a photo wall of family for him to have
at nursery). Everyone is so attentive, friendly and child orientated! This is the best nursery we have experienced by far and we're so excited to see our child progress to school age with Happy Days thanks to their lovely team!

The school is made up of wonderful, caring teachers who are always looking out for the children. My son loves to come to school, which is a good sign of being accepted and loved. He indeed has become even more confident, which I can attribute to the environment he gets from his teachers. I will recommend
Happy Days anytime to every parent. It is a wonderful place to be.

Every member of staff at Happy Days Verwood are exceptional. They are friendly, welcoming and patient. Above all, they clearly care about the children that they are looking after and ask us about their needs, how they are or anything else that might impact their day. My child found starting nursery
tricky and was emotional, but the staff were so patient and willing to try more settling sessions to make sure that they were comfortable. Cannot recommend them highly enough.

My twin daughters have attended Happy Days Nursery Poole for the last 2.5 years, since they were 17 months old. They started in the baby room and are now in the preschool room. My girls were born 11 weeks premature and the nursery have moved them from room to room based on their development, as opposed
to their age. This has been very beneficial to their development and confidence. All the staff are very polite, friendly and professional and my girls and the other children like them. My girls have developed in all areas since attending this nursery. My girls have really enjoyed their time at this nursery and will be sad to leave when they go to school this September. I would thoroughly recommend this nursery.

My daughter has been attending Happy Days for six months after moving from another nursery when we moved house. She is always happy to go in the mornings, and we often see her happily playing if she doesn't spot us arrive at pick up. She is learning lots of new words and songs. She loves being outside,
so the garden space is brilliant. The staff are friendly and attentive. I would recommend Happy Days to anyone looking for a lovely nursery.

We could not be happier with Happy Days Poole. Our son loves attending nursery and has developed in so many ways. He can be quite anxious and shy, but the staff in his room are attentive, kind and always help him settle. The activities are always well thought out and fun. The environment is engaging
and child-centred. We love how they celebrate important milestones for us as a family and always take the time to talk to us about our son's development, progress and well being. The staff in our son's room are special and we are so happy to be a part of this nursery.

My son has been attending Happy Days Nursery for nearly a year and joined when he was 8 months old. He started in explorers two where he made an amazing relationship with his key worker and in fact all of the nursery practitioners in that room. The room is perfect for babies and is a calm and nurturing
environment with lots of activities to keep them busy throughout the day. He has now moved into explorers one where he has had a smooth transition with the help from his new key worker. I enjoy hearing about what my son has explored throughout the day, I also really enjoy the app where I can view photos and his learning and development. The nursery has a warm and welcoming feel as soon as you walk through the door. Would highly recommend!!

Happy days nursery provides a warm welcoming environment from the moment you arrive.
All members of staff show kindness, care and attention to all the children, both myself and my partner have noticed a difference in our child's development and receive updates on a regular basis on what they have
been up to on the day.
I would highly recommend happy days nursery to all as it is a fantastic environment our little one.

Happy days in Verwood is brilliant! My little boy loves going there and is learning so much from the staff and other children within the nursery. A special shout out to my child's key worker, she is wonderful! All the staff are friendly, helpful and make me feel so comfortable leaving my child in their
care. The nursery itself is so nice, it's spacious, modern and they have such a wide variety of toys for the children.
Highly recommend! 5 stars!

From day one my 1 year old was made to feel safe and comfortable. The staff are always attentive to her wants and needs and I feel they really listen to any changes or things they may need to know. The food they serve is very varied and healthy which is reassuring. The activities feel both fun and educational
and I love hearing about my child's day. I have already recommended someone there and always do to anyone looking in the area.

This is my first experience with a nursery setting (first baby) and I'm so happy with it! The ladies at Happy Days Verwood have made not only my daughter's transition to nursery really smooth but they've also made my transition back to work smooth & worry free, as I can drop my little one there and
know she is in safe, capable hands whilst I go about my busy working day. Everyone who works at Happy Days is compassionate, warm & welcoming including the chef! The range of activities and learning they provide is brilliant. They have a lovely garden area that they really utilise. The different foods/meals offered are fab. They've been a great support with weaning too! The nursery is always clean. They update you throughout the day in regards to meals, nappy changes & my favourite updates - snapshots & moments, where they upload pictures of your child taking part in different tasks.
Overall I'm super pleased with the care provided and my daughter is thriving so she obviously agrees!

The best nursery my daughter has attended! Since my child has been there she has started to thrive. The staff are great at picking things up in terms of developmental issues. They are equally as quick to action any changes/referrals. You can really tell that they are there for their love of kids and
not just for a paycheck. I'm so unbelievably grateful for the care they show my daughter as well as her sibling (who doesn't even attend the setting - he just comes for drop offs and pick ups). The atmosphere is lovely and they do some really cool things and get external people in to help with the bigger kids understanding of the real world.
In a nutshell I'm so glad I moved my daughter and these guys really amazing!

Since my little one started at Happy Days Nursery & Pre-school - Poole in August 2024, he's absolutely loved it! The staff are incredible - always welcoming, friendly, and so kind. After our very first visit, we attended a settling-in session, and as soon as we walked in, the staff greeted us with a
cheerful good morning and immediately knew my son's name. It was such a thoughtful touch, especially since he'd only been there for an initial visit before that.
The environment at Happy Days is truly comforting. My son's face lights up every day when he walks in, and it's clear he's particularly fond of his key workers, who always make him feel special.
I am beyond pleased with our choice of Happy Days for his nursery. He's learning so much, and the fact that he's so happy and well cared for while I'm at work gives me complete peace of mind.
