Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Derriford

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.

I cannot recommend Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Derriford enough! My daughter started there in January 2022 and I have never had a problem with the nursery. My daughter gets so excited when we arrive and she's always happy when I collect her. All the staff are so attentive to each child and I always feel at ease taking her each day. My daughter gets attention all day long and whenever she is upset someone is always on hand to reassure her. I would also like to praise their food menu my daughter eats every meal sometimes twice over and loves everything they provide.

Absolutely incredible experience over the past couple of months my daughter has been going. Supportive staff and very welcoming. They have helped at every concern or advice that I've needed. Would highly recommend this nursery. I couldn't be more grateful for how they have been so accommodating with me, communicating with me and my daughter during her settling sessions. She loves going to nursery every week. The smiles she gives when she sees everyone. Gives me the acknowledgement that she just loves being there.

My daughter has attended the nursery since she was 11 months old, and has always enjoyed her time at Happy Days Derriford. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, with regular feedback and progress reports. There are lovely outdoor facilities for the children and really good food options. She has thrived at Happy Days Nursery and is now ready for her journey to school.

Overall high level of staffing and care provided by all, my son always enjoys his days at the nursery and continues his development at a good pace. Especially enjoying his regular times outside. And the management are always approachable with questions and will endeavour to help whenever possible.

My little boy has been in Derriford Happy Days since he was 8 months, and he is going to school this September. During this time, I have moved house twice and I still kept him in this nursery. I do an extra hour of commuting every day for him to attend this nursery as I feel that he is very well taken care of there, that I can trust everyone that works in the nursery not only with his safety and wellbeing but also with the cuddles that he might need when he’s away from me. I can sincerely thank all the staff from the reception, management, kitchen and all the room staff for taking care of my little boy so well. We are going to miss you all!
