We have 2 children at Penair HD and both of them have loved coming here, The woods, garden and indoor play areas give them so much to play with. The staff have always been so wonderful and helpful. We would recommend this nursery always.

Overall Experience

Overall nice nursery, children are very happy. My personal opinion is that there could be a bit more learning and prep for school for the older children and maybe some more substantial dinners but other than that room staff are lovely and the outdoor space is such an amazing space for the children

My son absolutely loves attending this nursery 5 days a week. He's made lots of little friends and is very fond of all the staff. He has settled in wonderfully and enjoys playing in the large outdoor are.

I feel confident he'll transition to school happily and we'll prepared.

Overall Experience
Since starting Happy Days only a month ago, my son has advanced in leaps and bounds in his confidence, communication and social skills. My toddler comes home each day boisterous and giggling, recounting his day and all of the things he's learned. The team at Penair are absolutely outstanding and clearly passionate about what they do.

The future is bright!

Overall Experience

Penair Happy Days is such a warm and welcoming environment. We viewed a lot of nurseries when looking to enrol our boy, but this one truly outshined the rest, it was everything we were looking for! Both of our boys now attend and I couldn't feel more at ease leaving them. The girls go above and beyond and my boys faces light up when they see them. We love receiving updates throughout the day and even though the app keeps us informed the girls always take the time to give us a full breakdown of their day at pick up. A really amazing nursery that we couldn't recommend enough!

My son has come so far in his development since starting at Penair Happy Days. The staff are all friendly, welcoming and supportive in my son's journey. Particularly one member of staff in my son's special needs journey with senco. My daughter is starting full time in April and I'm very excited for her to get to experience the fun too.

Overall Experience

My child has really come out of his shell since attending happy days nursery. He looks forward to going every week and playing with his friends and staff members. He had a couple of wobbly days of not wanting to leave me but as soon as members of staff saw him they came over, gave him options of what he could play with and pointed out some of his friends and what they were doing that he could join in with. Also the support the staff have given me is appreciated more than they will know and are continuing to help support me with certain things I'm struggling with such as my childs eating!

Review from Kelly M (Mother of Child) published on 11 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son started his settling sessions in December 2024. As a parent who has had my son only in my care since he was born, I was very scared on how he would transition to being in a nursery setting.
I dont know why I worried. The staff member who settled my son was so caring and understanding towards all my concerns. Straight away I could feel the warmth and love from all the staff in the toddler room. My son had a few tears when I left the room but I could hear within minutes that the tears had stopped. I peeked in the room and he was sat playing with the cars. I felt instant relief seeing him happy.

The nursery manager was fantastic with shortening his settling times if and when he needed it. But that to my surprise, only happened once and he settled perfectly. I couldn't be more happier that I chose Penair Happy Days as the nursery for my son. I feel confident in leaving him and feel like its not just a nursery but a second home and family that he goes to visit, play and have fun with.

Review from Francesca H (Mother of Child) published on 11 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We could not speak more highly of Happy Days Penair. As soon as we had our walk around we knew it was the nursery for us. We instantly felt as if we could leave our little boy with the team and that he would be happy and cared for. We viewed 3 other nurseries within the same week and did not get that 'feeling', where as with Happy Days Penair we did. Our little boy has nearly been there a year and runs into nursery. His key workers are incredible and really know what he likes and dislikes. He is always smiling and happy to see the staff members.

Thank you Happy Days Penair for making us feel comfortable with leaving our little boy in your care and thank you for always going above and beyond for him.

Review from Gem D (Mother of Child) published on 11 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Great nursery, all staff are amazing. Both my kids have favorites in their classes. But all staff are amazing.
One of the staff members in the baby room is my 1 year olds go to person, she's fun, loving and so caring brilliant at her role. He always looks for her and talks about her on the way into nursery, definitely made a great connection.
Two of the staff members are my other son's favorites in pre school room. They are silly in his words, fun, great go to people, always hands on and listens to him even when he is waffling on. He feels safe and after not having a good experience he lives it here.
Both rooms hand over every time on what they have had to eat, what they have done as well as putting it on the app as well.
All staff have time to talk and are patient during hand overs.

The manager is great on the door, both my boys get on well with her and it really feels great to bring my boys in. I'm always listened to when I have any questions or worries and communication is great.

Review from Kate K (Mother of Child) published on 4 December 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Amazing team. Really feel at home when I can take my son to school and he's happy to stay. Knowing they have helped excessively with my child's needs. They always go above for all the children. It really has changed our outlook on everyday life. The workers are beyond friendly and caring. The boss has really made a massive improvement within the school. I can not fault any of the staff or how they run the schooling.

I am a very happy Mum to a very happy little boy who loves coming to school. If I'm honest, if it was not for them I don't think we would have come this far.

Overall Experience

This is the first term of our little one with Penair Nursery. The staff is amazingly helpful to make the transition as easy as possible. After a few months, we can see how much our little one learning within the time spent in the nursery. She is showing us new skills, which we have never seen before (like filling her own spoon etc). I couldn't be more thankful for the amount of care and smiles! Thank you
