Review from Hannah (Mother of Child) published on 5 December 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My children love attending Happy Days and are always delighted to arrive in the morning. The nursery is clean, organised and well-staffed with an excellent variety of activities to keep the children busy. Staff are approachable, well-informed and enthusiastic and I have every confidence that they do
their best for the children in their care. Communication with parents is very good on a daily basis and staff will always try to personalise learning according to the needs of the child. As a parent, I can always feel confident that my children are well cared for when they are in nursery and I would not hesitate to recommend this setting to other families.

Both of my children have absolutely loved Happy Days. Staff have always gone out of their way to make sure the children are happy and settled. It is always a delight to hear how much fun they have had in the day. I have no hesitation in recommending Happy Days.

Happy Days is a very welcoming environment. The different rooms are always bright and the walls full of the children's creations which is lovely to see. I have a good relationship with the nursery staff in my son's room and they always tell me what he has been up to during the day often surprising me
with something new that he has said or learnt. The staff are great at encouraging my son to try new things and they have been brilliant in supporting developmental aspects like feeding himself and potty training! I know my son has a great day at Nursery!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff are friendly, attentive, confident and have a good approach with my daughter. They have supported her over the years to make good progress in all areas. The nursery environment is clean and welcoming and the displays are constantly refreshed to show the children's artwork. My daughter seems
to be always kept busy during her day at nursery with a variety of activities. Communication is also good and parent feedback seems to be important there. Overall I'm really happy that my daughter attends Happy Days at Quinton and would like to thank the staff for their ongoing support with the care they provide for my daughter.

Review from Sarah (Mother of Child) published on 21 November 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a parent having care provided to my daughter from the age of 9 months up until now where she is almost 4. I can honestly say the service is outstanding as my daughter is thriving, confident and very happy.


The staff are attentive and show a high level of professionalism. It's a warm nursery

that stands up to its name "Happy Days", as the peace of mind I get leaving my daughter is invaluable, and I highly recommend it.


My only recommendation considering it is a high end priced nursery is the children could be taken out more on day trips.

Review from Judy T (Grandmother of Child) published on 11 November 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Granddaughter finished her time at Happy Days this summer, having been there since 6 months old. She has had an amazing time there, her development has been incredible. She is a social, happy little girl and has been fully supported in all aspects of her growing up. From weaning, to toilet training,
to being school ready. Weaning was a really hard time for her as she had numerous allergies to begin with, but her meals were individually catered for and she was able to have a wide and varied menu. The staff have paid attention to her every need and shown genuine care towards her at all times. She has always been happy to go into the nursery and at times had to be encouraged to leave.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.863)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.863) out of 10 for Cotton Tails at Quinton is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.863 for Cotton Tails at Quinton is calculated as follows: ( (115 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 131 Ratings = 4.863
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Cotton Tails at Quinton is based on 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 54 number of registered child places is 10.8, which has been reached with 11 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
