Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Derriford

Both of my children from babies have been looked after by the wonderful staff at Happy Days nursery at Derriford since December 2009 which will sadly end in September 2016 when my littlest one eventually starts school. I have never had to complain about anything especially the care they have provided for my children which has been second to none. Both of my children enjoyed their time with Happy Days and have been extremely happy throughout. The nursery have always been extremely accommodating to any needs or concerns I have had (including when I've needed extra days' care on an ad hoc basis). My youngest doesn't want to leave and my eldest likes coming back when he picks his sister up. So to summarise I've had nothing but excellent service from day one and would definitely recommend Happy Days to anybody who needs childcare for their children from babies to school age. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all the staff who have cared for and looked after my children.

Both of my children have attended Happy Days Derriford from when I finished my maternity leave right through to starting school, one still attends. The team at Happy Days manage to combine a professional approach alongside a caring nature. Exactly what I needed as a working mum!

I felt comfortable knowing my children were being cared for by a competent team of professionals, who enabled happy and fun play whilst fulfilling their educational needs also.

Happy Days were effective at ensuring I was updated with nursery news without overloading an already busy parent.

Both of my children will and have transitioned easily into school life - something I credit Happy Days with having a hand in.

Croissants for parents in the mornings was also a winner - thank you :-)

I have had 2 children attend this nursery, one is now at school and the other is due to start Sept 17. The school start programme was brilliant and helped prepare my daughter for school and I have no doubts it will do the same for my son. The only thing I find disappointing is that military discount isn't offered when there is a high proportion of military children attending the nursery yet NHS discount is available. However military discount is offered at the Bristol nursery, lacking in continuity!

Overall I am pleased with the nursery and our only reason for moving him is that I have given up work and we wanted a nursery closer to home .

My child settled in quickly and has established good relationships with friends and staff. She enjoys the outdoor play areas and that there is an open door policy for playing outdoors. All staff are very friendly and helpful at Happy Days.

We have recommended Happy Days Nursery to friends and will be starting our daughter there in September.

I have two children at the nursery and they absolutely love going. All the children are friendly and always give a warm welcome to other children and parents entering their room. Staff are very friendly, cheerful and very helpful and are very flexible with every child's needs.

My daughter has blossomed at happy days, I couldn't ask for anywhere better to leave my child for the first time they helped her adjust and me and she is now a confident girl ready to start school, so thank you happy days derriford!

Thank you very much and particularly to my daughters key worker - fabulous.

I really couldn't recommend this nursery enough.

My daughter loves coming to Happy days nursery. She has settled in well since she started in April. She always informs me of her day and how much fun she has had playing with her friends. Lovely relaxed atmosphere, makes a happy child and mummy.

Fantastic nursery, varied activities and great for socialising your child. Learning is made fun, and children are always happy and smiling when you drop off/collect them. The individual learning gardens are great ways to see how much your child has progressed while at the nursery. I also like the fact the children can go outside and play, even if the weather is a bit overcast. Staff are always friendly and available to give you updates on how your child is doing. Highly recommend this nursery.

Happy days have helped him turn into a lovely polite little boy who is full of life and they will be sadly missed when he goes to primary school.

I have used the nursery for 7 years for all 3 of my children. They have all loved the experience and my two eldest children were very well prepped for school. The staff are very caring and friendly. Will be sad to leave the nursery in 2 years time!

Such a lovely bunch of people that work here. I feel very comfortable leaving my baby here when I go to work. My daughter loves going to nursery it's a really nice atmosphere and she always comes home very tired from all the activities!

My daughter has been attending the nursery for 3 years and my son previously did for 3 years before this. We have been happy with our choice of nursery for our children and would recommend to others. The staff are all very friendly and always cater for children's individual needs. They offer a wide range of daily activities and we love receiving her artwork to bring home. The 4 week food menu is very good with them offering a second choice should your child not eat the first choice. The only thing I wish the nursery did as other nurseries have started is to offer flexibility for sessions on occasions when you have to work different days or have circumstances out of your control.

Fantastic nursery. Staff are brilliant. Facilities are great. It's a very clean, warm welcoming, fun nursery, with lots of great things to play with and help educate, both indoors and outside. My daughter loves it and so do I and my wife. My son will be starting soon too. I wouldn't go anywhere else. A*
