Review from E H (Mother of Child) published on 28 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our experience with happy days has been so positive. The girls are just so lovely, and always reassure me at the end of the day that his tears when saying goodbye to me never last long. He is always coming home with paintings/drawings etc. and plays outside rain or shine!

I really relax during the day that my son is safe, well fed and watered and is in the best hands if there is ever a bump/scratch.

Overall Experience

Happy Days is a wonderful nursery! As a first-time mum, I was very apprehensive about leaving my child, but the staff took all my concerns away. He settled in so quickly, and he loves going there now. The activities they do there are so creative each week, and I regularly have updates and pictures of his progress, which is lovely. He especially loves his Happy Days meals, and as he is a fussy eater, normally it is good to know he enjoys them. A big thank you to all of the amazing staff there; you are all fabulous!

Overall Experience

Best nursery ever. My son loves it and all the staff are wonderful. I really feel he thrives there and wouldn’t dream of sending him anywhere else. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for childcare, experienced and friendly staff new and old and I’m really pleased also that the staff turnover is extremely low so my child has constant consistency and I’m reassured knowing he knows the staff, and the staff know him. He loves going to nursery and as a parent, the process is smooth as I know he is really happy and settled there and so well looked after by the lovely ladies in his room.

The best environment for children. The staff have all been a part of my son's journey. He's now an amazing little boy who is looking forward to big school.
They have given him the confidence he needed and have been patient with him when he's found things hard.

Truly amazing.

We have had a fantastic experience with Happy Days.

All the staff are friendly, caring, and really seem to love what they do. Our child settles in quickly and looks forward to seeing the nursery leaders and her friends. She always has a great day and loves the food. It's been really lovely seeing her form relationships. She will miss her friends and all the staff. We would recommend Happy Days to anyone.

Both my children have attended Happy Days in Summercourt and the wonderful staff have helped them grow emotionally and physically. The staff are warm, friendly, and enthusiastic, and consistent with the care they provide.

The site is a great central location, with lots of parking. The children's rooms have lots of toys and regular activities. The staff are flexible to the individual needs and interests of each child: quite simply the place is awesome!

My daughter has just completed graduation after attending Happy Days Nursery since 9 months old.

Overall Experience

My little one has been attending Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Summercourt since she was 7 months old. She settled really well and the care she received was more than I could ask for. I never had to worry when I was at work and I could tell she really enjoyed being there. All the staff have been brilliant and she has thrived, even learning sign language through the sing and sign program. The nursery also offers early drop off and a variety of healthy meals and snacks. Thank you to all the staff in the baby room you've all been great.

Overall Experience

This is a brilliant nursery where my child has thrived and developed so well. The team are amazing and we couldn't ask for better. As a child who was initially reserved and likes routine, the nursery have helped him come out of his shell and have routines he can follow and has become used to. Couldn't recommend this setting enough!

Overall Experience

I have always found the staff friendly, approachable, kind and caring. Both of my children have attended the nursery one now starting school, but every time he revisits with me they always make an effort with him and include him still. Shows how lovely and thoughtful they are. The activities they put on are fantastic and my daughter really does love going to nursery. There is always something fun, interactive and new for her to do. The ladies, staff and management at Summercourt are fantastic and my daughter always has a great day. Thank you.

Overall Experience

We are really pleased with our choice of Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Summercourt as our nursery. Our 17-month-old son has settled in really well and looks forward to his days there, this was made possible by all the friendly and helpful staff. The settling in sessions really helped him to adjust to his new environment, and now he can't wait to walk in and see his friends and play. He is also a big fan of the food they cook! Would recommend to anyone.

Overall Experience

Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Summercourt is absolutely wonderful. Our son came here from January 2020 until starting school this September and just absolutely loved it. All the staff are so warm, friendly and caring. They really made me feel so confident my child was cared for and loved! My little girl will start in January, and I am so pleased she will come here. They gave my son the best start and prepared him for school amazingly. The school told me that you can tell the children that come from "Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Summercourt". We are so impressed and will always recommend Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Summercourt to other prospective parents.

Overall Experience
A lovely nursery. The staff are kind, caring, and knowledgeable, they take great care of our eleven month old. He has developed so much in the six weeks since he first started.
He loves the food which is varied and nutritious, and they cater to his vegetarian diet.

I would recommend it to all my family and friends.

Review from Laura W (Mother of Child) published on 9 December 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

The staff at Happy Days have gone above and beyond to help us with our two girls. My eldest was a very shy, introvert girl, but since being there, she has become a very outgoing and confident little girl. We were stuck with childcare when our current one let us down and couldn't have the girls on the days we requested, and Happy Days did everything they could to help. I couldn't be more happy with the care they provide to my children.

Overall Experience
Such a lovely nursery. I’m so glad I sent my two here. They are happy to go every morning and always have clearly had a very active and engaging day on their return.
The staff are lovely and always have a smile and something nice to say about each child when I pick them up.
It’s clean, has great facilities and my kids always tell me what they ate for lunch.

Honestly couldn’t be happier with this nursery.

Review from Oly T (Father of Child) published on 7 June 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son loves coming to Happy Days. He has made lots of friends and the staff really take good care of him. The setting is really bright and open, with lots of material for children to learn, play and develop. All the staff are so friendly and caring and make a real effort to create lots of fun days and outside play. At 3-4 years old, my son has been going Monday to Friday and comes home very happy every single day, and that's what makes it so great for me.

My daughter absolutely loves it at Happy Days Summercourt; in fact, she asks to go every morning even when it’s not a nursery day! She’s got a great relationship with her key worker and talks about her all the time. She comes home singing songs they have learnt and with loads of drawings and painting which she loves. All in all a really positive experience, the staff are always so helpful and I’d definitely recommend it!
