Review from Louise M (Mother of Child) published on 3 April 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter enjoys the activities that Happy Days Nursery provide, she always comes home to tell me what she has been up to that day and it’s always exciting to talk together about it. The staff have been amazing at supporting her potty training and although the odd accident here or there she is nearly completely dry at home and at nursery. Although she can be tearful sometimes when I drop off, the girls are great at comforting her and plenty of cuddles when needed. She has been in each of the three rooms that the nursery provides and the staff and service have been great in each one.

Review from F S (Mother of Child) published on 29 March 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Returning to work can be an emotional time for a parent and handing your baby over to others to look after can be extremely hard. But all the team at the nursery have been amazing, welcoming and friendly. The genuine care that they have and show for my child puts my mind at rest that they are in the right place. When I first came to view the nursery I instantly felt it was the right one for us, so clean and fresh but also child friendly with lots of exciting things for all ages and abilities. My child is always happy to go to nursery and the handover is always easy to. At pick up the nursery staff are very good at letting me know what my child has been up to, eaten, enjoyed, slept, etc, which is great and feels like it keeps you involved. Since attending my child has come on leaps and bounds and the staff always seem as excited at every milestone as we are which is lovely.

Overall Experience

My little boy has been coming to Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Truro City for 2 years now and I couldn't have wanted a better place for him to attend. All staff have been amazing, caring, friendly and way more. He settled in really well from the start and has always received lots of comfort and reassurance whenever he has needed it! He really loves coming to nursery and his individual needs have always been a high priority. I have always felt a family-centred approach to the team as well, they have always made sure I have also felt supported as a single mum, which makes a huge difference.

Incredibly friendly and approachable staff. Little girl just runs in with so much excitement every morning and always has so much to say about her day. Best decision to send her. Staff are also so reassuring and helpful with any questions we have.

Review from Sammy M (Mother of Child) published on 12 May 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both my girls and I love the nursery's lovely atmosphere and very welcoming. The lovely staff make me feel so happy to leave my girls in their care. My oldest daughter used to go to nursery, she's now in school and during her time she had a lovely time. Even after she had an epileptic seizure the staff were so helpful. At the time I didn't know my daughter had epilepsy it was her first ever seizure and happened during nap time. The staff stayed with my daughter. Was working at the time and stayed with me supported above and beyond. Thank you so much everyone.

Friendly staff. Caring, approachable, hands-on nursery manager. Staff have got to know my child well over the last few months we have been at nursery - seem to enjoy being with him as much as he does them! My son loves his time at nursery. Varied, engaging activities suitable for his likes, interests and stage of development. Nothing seems too much trouble - dietary adjustments, sleep arrangements etc.

Review from Michelle H (Mother of Child) published on 26 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter loves nursery, she has come on since a baby and is now four. We will be sad to see her go to school this September. The staff at Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Truro City and the manager and deputy manager are more like family to us. They have been fantastic, loving and she asks everyday to come! She has loved every second. She's always learning everyday and coming home telling us what she's learnt today and done. The food is very nutritious and helped her be more adventurous with new foods! She's made loads of friends and nursery has definitely prepared her for school. There are not enough words for this team.

Review from C B (Mother of Child) published on 15 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Given the stresses and strains upon everyone in the last year or so, it would have been easy (and understandable, in some contexts) for standards at nurseries to have dropped. After a location move, a new mix of staff on top of a worldwide pandemic things could have been very different, but Truro City have excelled.
Despite all of the trials sent to us all over the last 12 months, the care provided at Happy Days Truro City has been nothing less than exemplary. At a time when we as NHS and keyworkers have been under massive pressure, the attention to detail, care and support given to the children at Truro City has been simply outstanding. With roles that are a heavy weight, it is lightening to know that our kiddos are being educated, cared for, loved and encouraged to play in a way that hasn't changed at all for them.

It has truly been a joy to watch my children grow into the joyful souls they are, under the supportive and watchful care of familiar and loving faces.

Review from K J (Mother of Child) published on 15 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My 2 youngest children attend here after being at another setting. Transition was extremely smooth and at no point was I concerned about my children. The staff are second to none and will always make you feel as welcome as the children. My son has the best relationship with his key workers and I continually see him develop and grow, he has become so much more confident and independent. The selection of meals is great and opened up my son to a wider range of foods and has become less fussy.
Whilst covid has become increasingly difficult for everyone the team at Treliske have consistently kept us informed and kept the children safe.

My little man is ready for his next adventure when he starts school in September and a massive part of this comes from the Happy Days team.

Overall Experience

Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Truro City has given us and our daughter peace of mind over the past few years, especially when faced with the uncertainty of the Coronavirus pandemic. The staff have done a fantastic job making the transition from Treliske nursery, and the facilities provide all of her needs. We receive regular newsletters and updates of current events and the staff are always happy to receive us whilst being flexible at the same time. I will be sad when our daughter leaves soon, the next chapter in her life will be to go to school and they have prepared her well for that. Many thanks, from us all!

Absolutely fantastic nursery. All the staff are friendly and helpful. My child has always been well cared for. Daily feedback is great and they always ensure I know how my child has been whilst in their care. Even in these uncertain times they have provided excellent care and provided parents with up to date info. Can not fault this nursery.

Overall Experience

My little boy has been attending this Happy Days since he was about 18months old. We could not be happier with the care he has received. The staff have built a fantastic relationship with him and he loves being there. Because he has additional needs, some of his childcare professionals have also visited the nursery and have been equally impressed.

Review from Levi (Father of Child) published on 2 March 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Three of my children have attended Treliske Nursery over a six-year period (one is currently there). During this time scale, all three have had the same staff looking after them, which has been lovely as we felt we already knew them and trusted them when we returned with our third. The boys are always happy to go in the mornings and enjoy the breakfast club. The staff are very caring towards my boys and a warm welcome always given to them and us as parents.

We always hear what they have played with and enjoyed, lots of variety to choose from inside and outdoors. My eldest two were perfectly prepared for school and excited to take the next step and we know the third will be too. I am more than happy with the nursery and the great staff, would highly recommend to anyone looking for reliable, caring and a brilliant childcare provider.

My little boy has attended this nursery since he was ten months old and he is now four years old. All staff have been amazing with supporting my little boy, as well as myself. He loves going to nursery and always asks if its a nursery day in the mornings.
The nursery has just had the garden refurbished and is a great outside area with lots of learning opportunities outside as well as inside. My little boy will be going to school in September and the staff have really prepared him for this next big adventure.

I would highly recommend this nursery and will definitely be enrolling my new baby when it arrives.

I hadn't been to a Happy Days Nursery before, so it was a new experience for me and my two girls. Very helpful in moving my eldest from her old nursery to this one. My youngest is very attached and doesn't like to be left without me, so the staff were very helpful in helping with that. Also keeping me updated on their first days there.

Overall Experience
My 3 year old has been struggling with separation anxiety - but the staff have been wonderful in their help, and every day is getting easier for her.

Each time I pick up my little one she only has positive things to say about how much fun she has had, and more often than not she is bringing a drawing or craft home. I really like the themes they have every week. A lot of effort goes into the work the nursery does. Management are also super welcoming and very helpful with any changes required for days attending etc.
