Amazing staff. My daughter has been going to this nursery since she was eight months old and is now nearly three, and she has come on in leaps and bounds. Always happy and communicate very well with parents.
Thank you so much for your review, we are so happy to hear about your daughter experience with us!
I always find the nursery and the staff excellent. I feel totally at ease leaving my little one and know she is in safe hands. She has grown in confidence, and we recognise the importance of nursery in her development and are so pleased we found Playbox.
Thank you for leaving such a wonderful review - we are very proud of your little one's achievements!
Absolutely brilliant care and service, both my son and daughter love going to Happy Days. Thinking back to lockdown and what the nursery did back in that period for us, it is remarkable. I would have liked to have seen a few more original activities.
Thank you - we are very proud of Happy Days Playbox and your review is just lovely!
We absolutely love Happy Days Playbox. The learning schemes are fantastic, at every opportunity, the kids are outside which I adore. Both my girls (2 years) and (7 months) are incredibly happy - they run in every time!
My son attended the preschool at Happy Days Playbox and loved it. The staff were amazing - really caring and always took the time to explain in detail how his day had gone. There were lots of lovely activities and the environment was inviting, stimulating and very clean. The garden area is a great size too. My daughter has just started in the baby room and once again, they have gone above and beyond to help her settle and let us know how she is getting on. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery and preschool to other parents.
Our little girl has had an absolute blast at Happy Days over the last 3 years. A real home-from-home. Fabulous garden and activities. The staff were very friendly and professional. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and we will be sending our next addition.
Both my children love the nursery and have been very happy there. The staff are wonderful and also happy to help where they can. Overall a brilliant place to learn and flourish.
The twins love the Playbox. Personnel is extremely friendly and communicative. Activities are diverse and interesting.
Really friendly staff who settled my child into nursery really well. The staff seem to have a really good knowledge of his behaviour and interests, showing he is well attended through the day.
Really lovely team, made me feel at ease during a difficult time. Our keyworker is amazing with our boy, takes her time with him, looks out for all the signs in his behaviour. Brilliant! The staff are very informative helping every step of the way.
Fantastic nursery, great staff who are always friendly and welcoming to the children. Both my children loved attending the nursery and have lots of happy memories. The nursery has provided a solid foundation for my children's lives.
I can’t recommend Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Playbox highly enough! Both of my boys have been here and really enjoyed coming. My youngest is still here and is coming on leaps and bounds with his learning and interaction. It is a lovely caring environment where children can thrive!
My daughter loves it.
Our little boy has been going to Happy Days Playbox since he was 16 months old. We have been delighted with the care he has received since day 1. The staff have been very caring and communication has been excellent. He really enjoys going to nursery ad he seems to be learning a lot. The garden is fantastic. Overall we thoroughly recommend this nursery.
We started at Playbox when my son was a baby attending baby massage, then stay and play. I had such a lovely feeling about Happy Days Playbox I was in no doubt that I wanted my son to attend when I had to return to work. The staff are amazing, so supportive to both my son and us as parents, through every stage. The Smart Start learning process has really had an impact on my son, the support we received to continue this at home during Covid lockdown was excellent and my son has now returned to Playbox and loves it. The processes they have in place post lockdown is also excellent. We will miss them all when he starts school in September but thanks to Playbox he is more than ready for school.
Happy Days Playbox have been like an extended family to our son since he started almost 12 months ago. They have supported his physical, social, educational and emotional development and is more confident as a result. He's always so excited to go and misses it on his days off! Thank you Happy Days Playbox.
My twin girls have been going to Happy Days since they were 9 months old. The nursery staff have always been friendly and caring towards the twins and us as parents. My girls have grown into two happy and confident children, with an interest in adventure, educational and creative aspects of life. Thank you to all at Happy Days for the rapports they built with the twins.
Our little girl loves going every week. She has grown so much over the last year in confidence and development. She seems to learn a new skill every time she goes. The detailed daily feedback forms help us keep track of what has been going on. The support we received as key workers through the COVID pandemic has been fantastic and we feel Playbox provides a very safe and caring environment. Thank you
A friendly and positive environment. Playbox provides play and education and encourages good values.
My little lady loves her nursery and gets so excited on a ‘nursery day’.
