I cannot fault this nursery. When my daughter first started, she took a while to settle in. Now she runs in and is absolutely thriving. The ladies here, especially in the baby room, are fantastic! Thank you!
Our experience over the last two years has been great & Luca loves his time here, which is the best feedback for us. Our initial choice was due to the staff & atmosphere, which we really value. We will always recommend this nursery to friends & family.
We love the family vibe at the nursery; they are all so friendly and welcoming. Very personal and have an interest in home and family life to encourage my son at nursery. They have done amazing at teaching him new things and helping him with words and nursery rhymes. They have a good time outside and eating. I'm confident in their experience and knowledge to help with my son's development.
Albie loves coming to Happy Days. He speaks about his teachers & friends all the time and always wants to come back. The staff always make sure they have time when dropping & picking up to find out how Ablie is doing, is there anything they need to know, and always tells you about their day. I am extremely happy with Happy Days & the progress of Albie.
Great experience as always, lots of activities where kids can learn new skills, staff are always friendly and caring.
Fantastic nursery. Winston loves it here. I am delighted with his development and the care he gets. Staff are amazing. Love the apps and reporting. 5 star review.
Happy Days Playbox is the most wonderful, nurturing nursery. The care provided by all the staff is excellent. The range of activities, both indoors and outdoors, is extensive. Our daughter comes home with beautiful artwork and a big smile on her face every day. We could not be happier with our choice of nursery and cannot recommend it enough. The team is led by the most outstanding manager.
My daughter has been at Happy day play box since Feb 2025. She is happy every morning going there, and her confidence has grown month on month. There is a wide range of activities available to her, and I am pleased with the curriculum. She is always well fed and her picky eating habits are well catered for. She adores the staff, particularly her key people. The nursery is clean and has a well maintained outdoor space. The management team provide updates and keep us informed and are responsive when contacted.
Happy Days has been the perfect place for our son to spend his first education years. The place and the staff are wonderful. Thank you so much.
Happy Days is a real, magical place. I cannot thank the staff enough for all the work they have done in making sure my little boy is confident, happy and independent.
A wonderfully supportive and understanding team fill this secret gem of a nursery in the heart of Truro. The space is fantastic, and learning can occur both inside and out. We have never held any concern over the incredible emotional development that our child has been supported through, and he has enjoyed every single day here - bar none! Thank you.
My son has absolutely loved his time at Playbox. The staff are incredibly caring and always take the time to fully engage with him. He truly adores them all. It's been amazing to watch how much he's learnt and grown in such a warm and supportive environment. I've never had any safeguarding concerns, nor with cleanliness, food, or the outdoor activities. Everything is always well maintained and thoughtfully run. The level of care and attention he receives is genuinely outstanding. He's had a wonderful experience from start to finish and will miss everyone so much. Thank you to the whole team for helping him grow in confidence and preparing him so well for school. We are so grateful for everything you've done!
Thank you so much for this review! Very much appreciated

Fantastic nursery, all staff are caring and go above and beyond for each child. Cannot fault at all.
Both of our children have been through. Playbox Nursery and both have enjoyed their time there. They both learned a lot and liked all of the staff that worked with them.
A wonderful, caring and nurturing environment that has allowed my son to grow and develop in all aspects of life. The holistic approach at Happy Days Playbox is unmatched. So pleased with the experience, staff and community. Would recommend to anyone.
The setting is lovely, the garden is great, but the staff are definitely the highlight. Caring, calm and professional, our daughter loves them and has always been happy here.

My daughter has started school and misses it so much, but nursery prepared her so well for school.
Our two boys settled very quickly into playbox including our very young baby. The staff care, enthusiasm and energy impressed us from our very first visit. The boys love nursery and are excited to go each morning. The come home and the eldest tells us about all the fun things he has done. We can also use the app to see other things the boys have done. I would (and have) recommend this nursery to others!
