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.

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!
Playbox was our first choice when we signed up for nursery. We love Playbox, staff are amazing and very friendly. Our son loves his time at the nursery and he is happy to go there every morning. Not to mention the wonderful garden! Highly recommend!

Thank you for your review, and support over the years!
Our youngest has just started at Happy Days and we have felt very welcomed, happy and settled. Nothing is too much hassle for the staff team, they have been amazing with managing allergies and the settling sessions have been great. Highly recommend.

The variety of play is excellent , our son paints, reads, sings, and spends time outdoors which he especially loves as he gets to explore.
As parents, it is a great comfort to know our son is in a relaxed and happy setting and is so well cared for throughout the day.
Thank you so much for this review. It's a pleasure looking after your son.

My son thoroughly enjoys nursery. He runs in every morning and loves to share what he has been up to. The staff are so kind and caring. They are making sure that the children are learning through play and are available if I need to talk with them.

The nursery initially provided settling in sessions for my son. This worked tremendously well and he settled in at nursery beautifully.
My son has some health matters. The nursery provide excellent risk assessments, regularly review care plans and accommodate his needs. It is reassuring, as parents, to know that he is in safe hands. My son receives a high standard of care and attention.
My son loves nursery. He has a smile on his face when he arrives and is always greeted adoringly by all staff members. The staff regularly update the ParentZone App so we are updated regarding his activities during the day. He is given the opportunity of participating in a variety of play - messy play, sensory play and more which he thoroughly enjoys.
I highly recommend this nursery.

He has a great relationship with so many of the staff and talks about them when he's at home and what they get up too. My daughter also went to Playbox and she still has such great memories of her time here. I couldn't ask them to do any more.

My child has become so independent and confident since starting at Playbox Nursery. The staff go above and beyond to ensure my child has a great day, is well looked after and enjoys his learning and development. He does art, painting, music, singing and plays in the garden. He always has a brilliant day, with the lovely staff and fantastic children in his class. It's been the best decision for us as a family. He adores the staff at the nursery, especially the chef! He eats nutritious and healthy meals 3x per day and we have seen improvements in his eating habits at home thanks to the chef.

My daughter has had excellent care at Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Playbox. She is always excited to attend and talks happily about the staff and other children. She comes home singing lots of songs that I have never heard- sing and sign is definitely formative activity for her. I'm impressed that at 2 she can already sing the alphabet song despite not having done this at home with us. Always a great variety of activities listed on her card each day and I'm confident my daughter is well nourished there also. We definitely think that Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Playbox has benefitted our little girl's development as a little person overall.
Thank you for such a lovely review Emily, it is greatly appreciated. Sing and Sign is excellent, isn't it!

He is now absolutely thriving, really come out of his shell, his confidence grows each week, and after every session, he leaves with a beaming smile after enjoying his day - and that is all because of the lovely practitioners.
All of the staff are incredible, so friendly and genuinely care about each child. They all know my son by name whether they're in his room or not which really gives a personal touch.
I have just had a baby daughter and will not hesitate about sending her to Playbox when the time comes too!
Thank you for leaving such a lovely review for us. We are delighted to hear your son has settled in so well.
