Our son is very happy at Happy Days, he is always happy to go in, eats plenty of food, has a great day playing and learning and we are always told about what sort of day he has had. The staff are great and the nursery indoor and outdoor space is excellent.

My son has been attending this nursery for almost 12 months and has developed really well. He is more confident around other children and likes to play.

Happy Days have been fantastic with our daughter. They have supported her learning and development in all areas during nursery time and also with activity bags at home. They keep us updated with what she does during the day and provide a wide range of varied activities. We are really pleased with the
care the staff have provided and can see how passionate they are to provide the best for the children.

My sons have been coming here for two years. He has special needs and the staff could not have done more to accommodate my son's needs. Everyone is so amazing up there and I cannot rate the nursery highly enough!
I recommend Happy Days Falmouth to whoever I can. The food is brilliant, the outside play
area is great. It is just a wonderful nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter loves it at Happy Days. The staff are very nice and are always very helpful and have really helped her with her speech problems. She is always talking highly of them. She will be leaving Happy Days soon to start school and will miss everyone. The manager is a lovely lady and has also been
very helpful to us. We are very happy we chose to take our daughter to Happy Days she has enjoyed every minute of it and is ready to start school. Such a lovely nursery/pre-school.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our child has been attending full time for 10 months since he was 5 months old. He loves attending and the staff are all friendly and professional, which is a massive relief to both of us. The staff are flexible and are happy to accommodate his own routine and dietary choices and are happy to use cloth
nappies, so his care is as similar as possible to home.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.812)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.812) 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 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.812 for Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Falmouth is calculated as follows: ( (285 Excellents x 5) + (58 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 346 Ratings = 4.812
  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 29 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 29 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.

Kate Bower

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.
