Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.
Reply from Rebekah Fice-Thomson, Marketing Manager at Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Summercourt
Thank you, Lorna, we're glad your two attended too! Such a lovely review, thank you.

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!

Summercourt nursey is just the most wonderful environment! My daughter has flourished since joining. It is professional, caring and really meets the needs of each individual. The team are outstanding and always make sure they give a daily review on my daughter. They are extremely professional and caring.
Covid has also been dealt with very well, and this has been so reassuring to see and experience. I could not recommend this nursery enough! Outstanding.

Happy Days Summercourt is a fantastic nursery. From our earliest experience of our daughter attending in the baby room, right through to her now attending the preschool room, we have had the utmost care and attention to our daughter's needs. The staff are extremely well trained and experienced in the
Early Years field. Our daughter loves attending and has made so much progress since being there. We will miss the staff and the setting when our daughter goes to school in September, but we will always have the fondest memories of Happy Days Summercourt.

My little boy bursts with excitement every time he goes to Happy Days Nursery. He is greeted by the friendly staff in his room who are always happy to talk about how he has been and hand over what he has been up to at the end of the day.
I am always confident he will have a good day and enjoy playing
with his friends and doing all the multisensory activities provided by Happy Days. He is always very chatty at the end of the day telling me what he has been up to.
The staff are what gives the nursery such a welcoming, safe and friendly atmosphere. Nothing is ever too much trouble and their knowledge and experience mean that my child is getting the best care and opportunity to develop and learn at his own pace.

Happy Days Nursery has been an amazing environment for my son to grow and develop. The staff are lovely and my son has had the most wonderful time here. He has been at Happy Days for over a year and the staff and facilities are great. The staff have really helped to progress my son's sounds and speech.
The nursery catered for his dietary requirements and to be honest I can’t recommend this nursery enough! (We are only leaving due to relocating).

My daughter attended Happy Days Summercourt for two weeks recently during the summer holidays from school. She has previously attended for four years, and she loved being back. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, and she was happy to go back and upset to leave again. Staff are professional and
helpful, and as always the space is beautiful and welcoming.

A really happy and postive nursery. I am so happy to see our daughter (2-years-old) so excited to go to nursery. They create a special and positive experience for her. Great communication from this team as well as supporting all of her development needs. A big thank you to the three girls in the explores
room.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son attended Happy Days from September 2018 until July 2020 and I cannot recommend this nursery enough.
My son enjoyed his time so much at nursery that he was very upset to be leaving and going onto big boy school. The staff are all so welcoming, warm and caring that I trusted them completely with
my son. He has developed leaps and bounds being here compared to his previous setting and this helped us settle knowing he was happy and learning after relocating to Cornwall. My son was a late bloomer and has struggled with his speech and problems with his ears. The team embraced him and really helped him to develop and accommodated for his issues with hearing by making sure he had one on one time, as well as encouraging him to get involved in group play and reading by making sure he could hear everything that was going on and updating me constantly on his progress. Now at the end of his time at nursery, he’s made some wonderful friendships and is so close to all the staff and that will be greatly missed.

My son joined Summercourt Happy Days when he 10-months-old and has spent the last 3-years happily attending almost full-time. The Summercourt team have all helped shape my son into the lovely, confident and happy boy that he is today and I will be forever grateful for the opportunities, the fun and
the experiences he has had whilst in their care. He also loved the food!

Happy Days have provided my son with the greatest environment to learn and explore during his first three years of life. He enjoys attending and always has a new experience to communicate about. My son was lucky to attend here as the building provided lots of space and light., this was one of the reasons
for choosing this particular nursery. That said, my son has mad this an integral part of his life and he will surely miss it when transitions.

My little boy has attended this nursery since he was around nine months old and we couldn’t have chosen a better place for him. He absolutely loves it and has grown and learnt so much whilst he has been here. The staff are amazing and really care about the children, he is always greeted with such a
warm welcome and you know he is in safe hands. They are always up to something in a day: whether it’s baking or painting, we always get sent home the results. We are always kept informed of how he is doing on a daily basis, communication with the nursery is brilliant. Happy Days - Summercourt is helping our son to thrive and we couldn’t thank them enough for all they do for our little one. Couldn’t recommend them enough.

I have used Happy Days for my two children since 2008-2011 and 2014-2018. We have always felt very relaxed leaving the children there as we know they are in such good care. Summercourt has some long-standing employees which shows the dedication of the staff and that it's a good place to work. I would
recommend Happy Days, Summercourt as a nursery you can trust and rely on.

My daughter has been going to nursery from 12 weeks old, due to family circumstances I had to get her in nursery quickly. Happy Days Summercourt were very accommodating especially if I have to book in extra days last minute which is so helpful to me. My daughter absolutely loves the nursery and all
the staff there and always comes home happy, she is now 16months old.
I would and have recommended this nursery to friends and family.

Summercourt Happy Days is fantastic! The staff are always helpful, happy and kind, my boys are extremely happy at the nursery and always excited to go. The facilities are well equipped, light and spacious and there is a lovely atmosphere within the building. My son has a severe food allergy and I
am confident in the staff and catering team's training to care for him. I can not recommend the nursery highly enough!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.932)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.932) 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 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.932 for Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Summercourt is calculated as follows: ( (291 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 311 Ratings = 4.932
  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 26 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 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 90 number of registered child places is 18, which has been reached with 26 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.
