Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Derriford

My daughter has been attending the nursery since she was 9 months old - she is now 4 years old and she will continue to do so until she starts school in September.

As a family, we have had a fantastic experience with the nursery and our daughter has developed and blossomed whilst under their care. Every day new activities are delivered which stimulate and teach the children whilst remaining fun and engaging and as a result, my daughter's social, economical, and emotional development has been amazing.

The staff within her room have earned her love and affection and she genuinely looks forward to seeing them among others and the management and admin team have always been brilliant with us, sorting any problems and generally making the whole experience smooth for us as a family. I highly recommend Happy Days Derriford and would not hesitate to place another child there. Thank you!

Wonderful nursery, lovely people and they look after my child so well. I’ve been so pleased with them over the last 3 years, my son has enjoyed his time there and feels prepared for school. Highly recommend!

Excellent throughout. The whole team involved in looking after our daughter are caring and professional and always keep us fully up to date. Our daughter is thriving here and she certainly has had a very positive experience.

My experience with Happy Days Derriford is a very positive one. The staff are friendly and kind and always willing to help. My daughter adores the nursery because of the exceptional experience she gets from the staff. They greet my daughter every day with a smile and a positive caring attitude. I have never felt so content leaving my daughter and always know she is receiving the best care from staff. Not only are they amazing but they are supportive in all aspects too. I will genuinely miss them all once my daughter goes to school.

My son enjoys going to this daycare. And the staff are very friendly. My son has speech delays which help him so much, now his speech is improving day by day. They helped me with the healthy referrals for my son to get the help he needs. I really recommend this daycare to anyone as they are very good at their job.

Brilliant team, all super friendly and caring. Any questions are swiftly resolved, a very trustworthy bunch.

Great reporting when picking up my kid, also they don't mind altering their routines if my child needs a bit of extra attention.

I find the team that are involved in looking after my granddaughter are genuine and thoughtful. Her well-being and development is at the centre of everything they do. The updates on the day’s activities at pick up time often generate lots of entertaining chat on the trip home.

Amazing staff and management team, such peace of mind dropping my little boy off each day. Loving the new refurb, it's definitely brought the nursery into the twenty-first century and is now so modern. The nursery is going from strength to strength. It has remained open during the whole pandemic providing the best care for keyworker children. Happy Days - Derriford really is the best for childcare in Plymouth I highly recommend!

Wouldn’t send my children anywhere else other than Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Derriford. The staff are amazing and so caring. Will be sad when my daughter has to leave for school in September. I’ve sent both my daughters since 2014 and then again in 2017 and the management currently in charge have been better than no other, very friendly and approachable. Have nothing bad to say about Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Derriford.

My granddaughter has attended Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Derriford for nearly two years, in which time her confidence, character and personality have flourished and moreover, her ability to mix with a range of age groups has become evident as she can converse on many levels with ease. Their education team are very astute to the children’s development needs and will offer help and support if needed. The team employed by Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Derriford are very friendly and approachable. I can name a few who have had a lot of input with my granddaughter, one who is very good at hair, another who is my granddaughters best friend, another who is her best friends mum, another who is everyone’s buddy and the boss lady who is mother to them all. I can’t say any bad things about the team. Happy Days Nursery & Preschool are extremely welcoming and make themselves readily available if needed, they are very supportive of their children’s needs and those of the child’s parents and grandparents. Thank you Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Derriford.

We have been using this nursery on and off since 2014 with my eldest and now my youngest child and couldn't recommend it enough. It feels very welcoming and the staff are very approachable and responsive, both in person and email. My youngest always runs into nursery excited for the day a head and activities seem abundant and well planned. Great choice of food too.

Have to say the new drop off procedures are excellent and the staff are very facilitating. Thank you to all.

I used to come in at lunch to breastfeed my daughter, and the team has always welcomed me and looked after me, which was appreciated.

Since my daughter has been attending Happy Days Nursery she has thrived as an individual, she always comes out of nursery happy and is always willing to go in. The staff in her room are very welcoming and have a very good relationship with both parents. The management team are very approachable and always have a friendly face.

My daughter loves happy days and the staff have been brill throughout Covid-19. They have lots of activities, outdoor play and my daughter loves the food. The staff are great very friendly. Outdoor play is great they have a forest area to go in.

She still has another year to go until she attends school but I am looking forward to seeing how much she will grow and experience in her final year at Happy Days.

My daughters experience at Happy Days has been outstanding. All staff in adventures room 4 have been amazing. Her keyworker has worked really hard with her and it has shown in her learning. I would highly recommend this nursery. I am really sad to leave.

Exemplary standards from all the staff welcoming, cheerful and helpful staff, my son has changed from a shy little boy who cried at every drop off to a confident toddler. His speech has developed incredibly and so has his confidence. He has become so independent. The staff are amazing and allaying my worried as a first-time parent and I take great comfort whilst at work knowing he is in great care. Highly recommend.

I have recommended the nursery to two other parents and will keep doing so.

But most of all her confidence. She is like a different child and will no longer shy away from things she is unsure of. Thank you!
