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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

This nursery is fantastic. I have 2 children who currently attend this setting and love being there. All staff are extremely friendly and approachable, the resources for them to play with is fantastic and my children have developed so much from attending.

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 (9.927)

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.
