Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Happy Days Penair currently care for my second daughter (my first having left to go to school last year after 4 years at Happy Days).
Both of them have always been extremely well looked after by the team there.
The outdoor space is particularly good.
The manager is always very supportive and I always
feel confident that my daughter is in very safe hands.
She is always learning new things and developing socially there. The team are so caring and my daughter has a lovely relationship with her key person.

Review from K W (Mother of Child) published on 7 July 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child loves Happy Days Nursery - Penair.
He learns table manners, how to play with his friends nicely and to look after smaller (younger) children.
Some of the teachers have their children at Happy Days. I think it's a good thing. They know what 2 to 3-year-old children like and how to treat them.
2
to 3-year-old children are the hardest.
My daughter, 11, still tells me about Happy Days lunch. She really enjoyed it. So does my son.

Review from Carlos H (Father of Child) published on 7 July 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This year was our 5th year of using Happy Days for childcare.
We expected to only be using them for our 4-year-old, but when we encountered limited options for after-school care for our 6 and 8-year-olds, Happy Days came to the rescue.
In all our years, we've never once worried for the safety or attention
offered to our children.
They've been flexibly supportive and considerate at all times.
Even now that 2 of our 3 children have moved on to school, they still enjoy going back, and that's the greatest testament we can give.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.912)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.912) out of 10 for Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Penair 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.912 for Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Penair is calculated as follows: ( (232 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 249 Ratings = 4.912
  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 - Penair is based on 21 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 21 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.
