Our child loves nursery. The staff are all wonderful. They organise lots of activities and lessons all the time. They have supported us when our child was having hearing difficulty, and helped us in supporting our child so that they didn't get left out.

All of the staff work so hard to make each child feel special, happy and relaxed. She loves coming in and tells us all about the range of activities she has done. Handovers are always detailed. We trust all the staff 100%, and P has thrived since joining. Thank you all.

We continue to be highly impressed with our child's nursery experience. She is nearing the end of her time at Discovers, and she is making so much progress. She loves coming to nursery and tells us so much about her experience. Finally, we love the new app.

Both of my children have loved attending Happy Days Nursery in Falmouth. My eldest tried a different nursery first and was miserable, but at Happy Days, she was always excited to attend. They have loved the enthusiasm and playfulness of the staff, the general fun atmosphere and the support and comfort
available to them when they need it. The learning activities help them to have new skills, and their progress is shared and celebrated. Best nursery in Falmouth.

We cannot fault the staff here at Happy Days, everyone has always been very supportive & helpful. They have always been very flexible with us and our children. We have a potty training toddler right now and feel really supported in this with the nursery, and is making this a really positive experience.

When my son first started at Happy Days, he was very upset for me to leave him. But after some settled and great efforts of comfort from the staf Lennox has settled very well. I will now be looking at booking another day. I highly recommend Happy Days Falmouth. They have been very supportive with me
and understanding of my anxiety. They have smoothed out any worries I was having.

My 2 children changed nurseries and joined Happy Days Falmouth. I was so anxious, but HDF made it so easy. Both my children settled so quickly, and they absolutely love their new nursery. The activities are so creative and fun. They both eat well and love all the staff and friends. I couldn't recommend
the nursery enough! I never have to worry, and they genuinely look forward to their days here in the week!

The team at Happy Days Nursery always go above and beyond to make events special for all of the children. They are always friendly with a smile on their face, and all know the children by name. When it's time to go home, my children do not want to leave. We are so lucky to have this beautiful nursery
so close by. Thank you team Falmouth.

I was very nervous for my son to start nursery, but from the minute I came in for a tour, I knew it was the right place. My son has come so far with his development and speech, and he loves coming so much that we have increased his hours.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My son enjoyed his year at Happy Days. He made friends and liked the staff that worked in his group. He took part in some fun activities and never had problems coming in each day.
The lunches were delicious and well made but I would have personally liked an option for no lunches or a packed lunch as
my son did not always like the options.

We have had our children in Happy Days for a combined time of 5 years and we have always been very happy with the care provided. The staff are lovely and seem motivated and provide great activities for the kids. They have always been very accommodating with extra sessions, and their opening times are
good for working parents.
In terms of improvement, I'd like to see healthier food, no sugar/unprocessed food (especially not the daily sugar dessert). It would also be nice if the kids could make use of the playground opposite the nursery, or do more outings in general.

Happy days is such a lovely, welcoming environment. All of the staff genuinely care for the welfare though play, encouragement and empowerment. My little boy has developed leaps and bounds since starting nursery and is developing into a bright, confident child, making friends and building strong foundations
and relationships. Thank you team Falmouth Happy Days.

My son has attended Happy Days Falmouth for over two years now and he absolutely loves it! He's always so happy and excited to come into nursery, and he always has a lovely day! The staff are so accommodating to my son's needs and he has amazing bonds with the staff in his room. It's reassuring to know
that my son is safe, happy and well-cared for while he's in their care. I would recommend Happy Days Falmouth to all!

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Happy Days Falmouth. From the beginning staff have been welcoming, friendly and caring. Our child has settled in really well, thanks to the support from the staff in the preschool room. She comes in excited to go and comes home telling us everything she
did that day.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.823)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.823) out of 10 for Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Falmouth is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 34 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 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 4.823 for Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Falmouth is calculated as follows: ( (338 Excellents x 5) + (65 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 406 Ratings = 4.823
  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 - Falmouth is based on 34 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 67 number of registered child places is 13.4, which has been reached with 34 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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2025

My name is Kate, and I am the new manager of Happy Days Falmouth. I have been working in childcare for nearly 20 years. I knew from a young age that I wanted to become a teacher and in 2010, I completed my Bachelor of Education degree. I started working in a nursery to gain Early Years experience and I soon realised this was my true passion. I went on to complete my Early Years Teacher status in 2015. During my time working in nurseries, I have progressed from a practitioner to room leader of all age groups and various management roles. 


I have worked at Happy Days for nearly two years, starting as a Deputy Manager at another setting, then becoming the Quality Lead here at Falmouth in September 2024, before taking on my new role as manager. 


I believe Early Years are the most important years of a child’s life and I feel privileged to do the job I do. I look forward to working alongside my team to continue creating a safe, fun, and enabling environments for all the children in our care. This will encourage the children to reach their full potential in their learning and support them to shine.
