Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Derriford

My son started nursery last year when he was 8 months old the staff were so reassuring. My son loves going to nursery the activities they do every day are great and the food menu is very varied. My son is always happy at drop off/pick up which is a big sign he enjoys nursery. The staff are so lovely I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

Happy Days Derriford is a friendly, welcoming nursery. Our daughter is very happy and always skips in with a smile. To quote my 3yr old "my teacher is the best" that is all I need to know as a parent. They are also so accommodating about her dairy intolerance I know she is in safe and caring hands.

Our son loves this nursery so much. Since starting he has become more confident, his speech has improved and he’s learning so much. The staff are encouraging, nurturing and very friendly. They make delicious homemade meals and our son often comes home with artwork which is lovely. Thank you for everything.

The child is at the centre of what they do. Fun filled days which have allowed my child to grow. I never worry about his day at nursery. Food is cooked on site which he enjoys. They do long days for those of us working in healthcare with unpredictable finish times and early starts. Very accommodating if a last minute extra day is needed.

I have been looking for a nursery that fits my values so that my two year old could socialise with other children his age. The staff at Happy Days Derriford were so welcoming and answered any questions we had whilst being friendly and approachable. My child had two settling in sessions where his key worker took the time to get to know him and his likes and dislikes, and he barely even noticed me leaving as he was having such a good time. I can’t wait for him to start properly next week!

Since Covid restrictions have been lifted, it has been lovely being able to go into the nursery for drop-off and pick up and get back to normality. All through the lockdown, the nursery has been very professional and cautious and the staff have made the children and parents feel at ease through a difficult time.

Really happy with how my little boy has come along with his speech and how well behaved he is. He is always so happy after spending the day with the team and all his little friends. I’m very grateful that he is so settled there.

Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Derriford is such a welcoming nursery. The staff are so friendly and helpful, putting the children's needs first. There is a wide range of activities and resources. The days are fun-filled and action-packed, and educational. My children have been very happy!

My daughter has been in attendance since she was 9 months old and has flourished since being there. All the staff members are friendly and so attentive to the children and their needs. We are coming to the end of our time at Happy Days as my daughter will be leaving to start school, her key worker and the assistants in her room have helped ready her for this transition. I'm only sorry there isn't another Happy Days nursery nearer to the city centre so that my second child could attend a nursery with the same ethos/management style etc.

Our son started at Happy Days in August 2021 and has been very happy there. All the staff are very friendly and helpful and our little one is thriving. They have helped us in encouraging him to crawl and now walk as well as feeding from beakers and feeding himself. Thank you all so much.

The menu is varied, healthy and sounds delicious.

The facilities are appropriate, fun and clean, with ever changing themes.

I have no hesitation in recommending this nursery to anybody who is looking for a home from home for their child.

Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Derriford has been an excellent, friendly and caring place for our child before and throughout the pandemic. His creativity has been nurtured and celebrated and we are very happy with the standard of care given.

Amazing nursery and I feel very grateful my child is able to attend here.

Our daughter has been in Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Derriford since she was eight months old, and she has loved every day of it. The staff are so kind, and she has made loads of friends. We were worried about her settling in, but she really only cried when we came to collect her! She loves the food too.

The staff are outstanding, I didn't want my daughter to leave as she goes to class happily every morning. I don't have a bad word to say. I would go back to them in a heartbeat. Thank you for looking after my daughter.

I am very pleased, me and my son talk every day about activities and his friends playing together to have a lot fun. He is just waiting to come back after two weeks of bank holiday to meet your friendly staff. Thank you.

I love my daughter in this nursery, all staff are lovely and understanding, my daughter gets cared for properly and her needs are met she’s never unhappy. The nursery is organized and are always aware, I feel completely comfortable with my daughter being in this setting.

Absolutely amazing. My son has come on leaps and bounds since joining the nursery.His confidence and speech is incredible the staff are fantastic. I wasn’t sure at first, leaving my child with people I didn’t know but they have my trust.

The only thing I wish is that we could see them enjoying activities more such as on their social media page, or being sent pictures of them throughout the day. We did have activity pages made up by the ladies which were lovely, just more would be amazing.

Absolutely love this nursery. Never had an issue that hasn’t been solved with a quick phone call or email! Girls love going and the staff clearly care about each child and key staff know the children they are responsible for very well and always listen to feedback and adapt routine to any requests.
