Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Penrice (St Austell)

After a good start to settling in.. my little one gt poorly and had to have some time off.. after this time off my little one, didnt settle well at all. But with the hard work of the wonderful workers my son is finally settling and starting to enjoy his time at nursery they have shown me good communication. I enjoy the photos i receieved of him on the app. They have really helped not only my little one but also myself when i questioning if i had made the right decision. As hes finally settling in i am hoping to see more photos of him playing and activities during time at nursery.

Nursery play space is quite generous and this is great for growing kids. The staff are good and engaged with the child's development, and the quality of children's meals prepared is really excellent.

Overall I was extremely impressed by how I was made to feel welcome, the skills the nursery staff had in trying to distract and engage him and the reassuring approach of the manager

I didn't feel there was much toilet training support.

Nice friendly staff, and our daughter has settled in well. We have noticed she has become more confident, and her ability to play with puzzles and stack toys has improved.

We are very happy we chose Happy Days over the many other nurseries and have recommended it to all our friends. Continue the fantastic work!

We transferred our son to Happy Days a few months ago. Initially, we were slightly worried about how he would cope, but straight away he settled and absolutely loved it. He seems so happy and actively looks forward to coming in every day.

I would not recommend this nursery.

The chef is an amazing, ensuring he never misses out,especially being DF,she adapts all meals to him. Couldn't recommend the nursery any more!

We are completely satisfied with our choice of Happy Days Penrice for our child to attend. We have been at the nursery for 2 years now and have experienced all 3 rooms for our child and all of the staff across the nursery provide outstanding care for our child. They are in a great environment for learning while also being nurtured through basics like meal times and potty training. I have recommended this nursery to multiple friends as I am consistently impressed with their genuine care, curriculum and smiles each day.

Our son has just graduated nursery after 4 years there and we cannot recommend them highly enough. That staff have become like extra family to him and have helped his development no end! The staff have always gone the extra mile and he has always felt safe and secure there. He is very well prepared for his next steps at school thanks to their hard work and he even received extra support with his speech. I would recommend this nursery to anyone and if we have any more children in the future, they will definitely be attending here.

The nursery has solid management and are always so welcoming and friendly. We could not recommend them any higher. Thank you to everyone at happy days penrice.

I could not recommend Penrice happy days enough! The staff are so friendly and welcoming with a smile every single day. The way they also address my child and every other child by name is so welcoming and inclusive. My daughter (2) had a hard time settling as she had never been apart from me and this is her first setting but with the trust and comfort the staff provided for me and her, she's now settled and has an amazing amount of confidence and has built a amazingly strong relationships and bonds with every staff member as well as making friends with other children!. She enjoys her day as I do too knowing she is having fun and learning along the way! The food is brilliant as is their attention to personal care and applying suncream in this heat!! They really do have the children in their hearts and you can tell by the quality of care they provide

Our child really loves going to Happy Days Penrice, from the start they have made us all feel so welcome and happy leaving her in the hands of the lovely, smiling staff members who do an amazing job keeping her safe, looked after, educated and entertained! It's a lovely warm space, with a lovely outdoor area so she can never get bored. She really enjoys the food that is provided, lunch in particular always goes down very well! Really can't recommend it enough, I was a little apprehensive about her starting nursery but they've made it so easy for us from the start and we have no worries at all, knowing how happy she is to go into nursery and how much she loves her key workers makes us really happy too!

He has come on leaps and bounds with his talking, counting, and imaginative play. They encourage him to use the toilet and potty, and he eats a far wider variety of foods than I could ever offer (and it always smells delicious!!).

My 1 year old daughter also attends the setting in the babies room, she goes to the lovely staff with a smile on her face. She demolishes every meal, and I can tell she has been well cared for and had a lovely day! The staff are always able to recount everything that she has done/eaten, which proves that their full attention is on the children.

The management team work hard, stationed right by the front-door and greet all the kids with a smile and chat. Emails and calls are always replied to promptly

Our son has been attending Happy Days Penrice since he was 9 months old and we've always been impressed with the professionalism and kindness of the staff, which is a great relief as a parent. Our son is relaxed, confident and keen to learn while there and comes home well fed and full of stories about his day. I must also mention the amazing lady who cooks at the nursery as the meals are varied, wholesome and have helped our son's confidence grow around food - he will eat nearly anything he's given and is always keen to try new things. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery and we'll be enrolling our baby daughter later this year too, to follow in her big brothers' footsteps. Well done all.

My daughter has been going to Happy Days Penrice since she was nearly 6 months old and I could not recommend them enough. She absolutely loves it here and is always so excited to go in every morning. The staff are absolutely amazing and show so much care towards my daughter it's not wonder why she loves it so much here.

We are incredibly grateful to all the staff at Happy Days Penrice for the exceptional care and attention they provide to our little boy. The team consistently keeps us informed about his progress and addresses any concerns with professionalism and kindness. Our son has a language delay due to being bilingual, and enrolling him in the Language Enrichment Program has been a transformative experience. Thanks to the staff's dedication and expertise, he has made remarkable progress, and we are confident he will be well-prepared for reception next year. It brings us so much joy to see how excited and happy he is to attend nursery every day - he looks forward to it even after a weekend at home! We couldn't be more pleased with the nurturing and supportive environment at Happy Days Penrice.

Penrice Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School. Today was my son's last day at nursery, due to withdrawing him from Penrice Nursery after he was a victim of verbal abuse from a colleague. After following every avenue to ask for this colleague to be removed from the room it was declined. Please be aware families, this incident that happened was far from the nurturing environment the company proclaim as their ethos. If I hadn't happened to walk past the window at this particular time I would have been none the wiser. Please be aware when considering this nursery as would hate for any child/parent to experience the ordeal we had to endure. Along with the complaints procedure where I was told no witness statement was needed to conclude their investigation/disciplinary, no integrity and lack of process, which tolerates such behaviours. Please take this as a warning, I honestly hope this will not happen again to any child within their setting.
