Review from A B (Mother of Child) published on 8 January 2026 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Our son has enjoyed moving up to the preschool room and always talks fondly about the experience. He talks about the different activities that he has taken part in during the day. He has also recently gained a lot more confidence being happy to speak up in front of others. We sometimes have reluctance
to go in the mornings but managers and staff have been helpful about this.

My daughter has been coming since 2022 and she has really grown in confidence and has come out of her shell so much. It's lovely to see the friendships she has made. Today I was invited to festive play and it was so nice to see her in her nursery environment, playing and getting involved with her friends.
The
staff are always so welcoming and helpful. The meals are always so well thoughtout.

My daughter has learnt so much over this past year, always asking and exploring different situations with life lessons and what is going on at nursery. Every day she is becoming more independent and learning who she is and I believe that the nursery really helps along the way alot.
Very happy with
the nursery and staff.

Happy Days Summercourt is a welcoming and nurturing environment where my child has thrived. Staff are child centred and have an exciting curriculum!
Oliver spends a lot of time outside which he enjoys. We couldn't be happier with this provision.

The staff are always helpful and caring. My son is constantly developing his social skills with his friends at nursery. We are kept up to date with how each day is through the app and receive courtesy calls when any incidents occur. They have a wide range of resources, which are used daily and often
come back with drawings and paintings.

All the staff at Happy Days Nursery are super approachable, kind and warm with the children. They go above and beyond to care for the children, meeting their needs whilst promoting a fun, engaging, adventurous atmosphere. This Christmas time, there have been multiple occasions to interact with the children
in their nursery settings to enjoy the festivities. It really is a joy to watch the staff interact and play with the children. Thank you all for all you do - you're all wonderful!

The staff are fantastic. The activities the children engage in are always imaginative and creative. Our child has attended since 9 months and this is his final year and we will be sad not to be here next year.
Thank you all, your hard work and effort is very appreciated.

Happy Days Summercourt staff have been so welcoming and patient with my son, who found it difficult to settle for the first 6 weeks. Staff were sensitive, understanding and attentive to his needs. After 6 weeks of settling, my son now loves nursery days and runs in excited to see his friends and key
worker.
He has come on leaps and bounds in terms of confidence, and I couldn't be happier with how it's going.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.927)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.927) out of 10 for Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Summercourt is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 38 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 38 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.927 for Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Summercourt is calculated as follows: ( (421 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 453 Ratings = 4.927
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Summercourt is based on 38 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 75 number of registered child places is 15, which has been reached with 38 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
