Review from Katie A (Mother of Child) published on 13 November 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Not happy in the way I and my daughter were treated by this nursery. Coming out of a DV relationship and suffering from anxiety and depression the nursery knew both of our situations and decided that as I could not pay a month in advance as being out of work with my situation they basically chucked my daughter out of the nursery. I was not happy with this nursery anyway due to the lack of communication and also poor care from staff, as my daughter came home with soiled nappies and also nappy rash a numerous amount of times. I will be reporting to Ofsted.

Reply from Lynda Noon, at Cotton Tails at Quinton

We are disappointed to read this review. Particularly as no official channels for complaint in the setting were followed. This is the second setting in our company the child has attended. The parent had advised she wished to leave the setting, usually a one-month notice period is required, however,...

Overall Experience

Great nursery, excellent staff. My only negative is that the children’s outdoor area is rather small in comparison to other nurseries. Also, lack of external activities.

Reply from Rachel Jarrett, at Cotton Tails at Quinton

Thank you for your kind words about the nursery. Our garden is used to the best of its ability, we can only use the space available but feel we do that well. We offer space for physical development (cars/bikes/climbing), sand, water, mud kitchen and also have our playhouse. Our outdoor policy is...

Overall Experience

I am really happy with my daughter's progress. The staff are friendly and I can see from my daughter's behaviour towards them that she is fond of them and that they have built a wonderful relationship with her. I enjoy the feedback and always find the staff friendly and approachable. The facility and equipment is always new and clean. I couldn't be happier with my decision to send my daughter to happy days. Thank you all.

Overall Experience

Excellent nursery, I love the way nursery staff look after my girl, it’s very warm and personal. My daughter hardly took a week to settle in because of the all the cuddles and one to one attention she received. She is very attached to her key worker and loves coming to the nursery. Thank you Happy Days.

I would like to take this opportunity to say how proud I am as a father to see how much my child has developed with this nursery's support and guidance. His growth in confidence, manners and also behaviour.

I would recommend this nursery to any searching parents.

Review from Emily N (Mother of Child) published on 13 July 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son loves coming to nursery. The staff are lovely and supportive, providing excellent feedback on our son's daily activity and provide us with regular updates on his progress. In my son's 3 years here I have always felt he is safe and cared for extremely well, which makes handing care of your child over to someone else a little easier to deal with. Our son has grown in confidence massively. The nursery was absolutely the best thing for him and I think it's because this is such a great example of what good structured childcare and education should look like.

Review from Kerry F (Mother of Child) published on 14 March 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child has attended since she was 8 months old. She has always been happy in each of the rooms she has been in at the nursery. The staff are engaged with the children and are loving and caring. The children take part in many activities covering the full range of the EYFS. There are times when the children watch TV on the large I-Pad. Whilst the programmes are suitable, I am not keen on watching TV whilst at the nursery. I enjoy the fact that there is an all weather outdoors policy and welcome the opportunity for my child to play outdoors each day. There have been regular staff changes over the last year which the nursery have managed well and sought to ensure consistency for children but the staff turnover does concern me a little as I am keen that my child builds relationships with staff to ensure emotional well-being during the long hours she is there. Any concerns I have raised have been dealt with promptly with good feedback. I would use this nursery to care for any future children.

Review from Clare F (Mother of Child) published on 21 February 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

A lovely nursery, my daughter is very happy and settled here. It’s nice to know that she is in good hands whilst I’m at work. The nursery has really helped her grow in confidence over the years.

I am a little disappointed with the observation/learning journey notes. I don’t always get the notes and sometimes they don’t have photos. I would very much like more frequent photo updates. Could this be done through an online app?

Reply from Rachel Jukes, Manager at Cotton Tails at Quinton
Thank you for your review.

Our observation/learning journey is done through an online app. I have asked the staff to ask you for an alternate email address. I have also asked them to show you her Memory Book in the room and create a few more Pic Collages for you.

Review from Sophie J (Mother of Child) published on 15 February 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has attended since she was 10mths (now almost 2yrs). The room staff have always been welcoming, friendly and accommodating. I have always felt comfortable leaving her in their care. My daughter has developed lovely relationships with all the staff in her room. They have nurtured her and aided her development. My daughter has additional needs and I have no doubt the nursery staff have had a positive impact on her progression.

As with any new parent, I was worried to leave my Daughter for the first time. But the staff at Happy Days made my Daughter and I feel at ease. She has settled in really well and enjoys her two days a week she spends at the nursery.

I 100% trust that my daughter is in the best capable hands and is well looked after. I would definitely recommend Happy Days nursery to any parent!

Review from Elizabeth S (Mother of Child) published on 29 September 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Happy Days is a lovely clean nursery which is colourful and welcoming, my two children attended over a 3 and a half year period and during that time they were always well looked after and very happy. The nursery offers a lot of fun age appropriate activities and a lot of money is spent on updating resources regularly. The staff are lovely but I felt that the high turnover of staff was very disappointing and didn't allow the children to build on their relationships with their key worker as staff were constantly changing rooms.

All the staff are lovely and the children are well looked after. There's a range of activities they do in the day and there are regular stay and play and open evenings parents can attend. It's also fairly priced for what's on offer.

Happy Days have always been friendly and professional in their approach. They are also very happy to discuss your concerns with them so they can address and resolve.
I would call each morning to ask how my child is getting on and they always answer and provide an update. They hold sessions through the year where parents and their children are together. Their Santa grotto is exceptional.

We have been very pleased with their service and highly recommend them to everybody.
