Really happy with the nursery for our daughter. Had been at other nurseries before and this one definitely is the favourite. Planning for our son to also go here. Would recommend to others without a doubt.

Our little one has recently started at Happy Days and is taken so well to the setting and the team who look after her. This is her first time in a nursery and she skips into the room in the morning without looking back. We can only think it's the way the team support and nurture her and the other children.
Nothing seems like too much trouble. She comes home a happy little girl. The admin team are also amazing, so friendly and professional.

Happy Days Too is a brilliant nursery. My daughter has been in two different rooms and I have found the staff in both to be friendly, kind, caring and nurturing towards her. She loves going to nursery and is always so excited to tell me about her day when I pick her up. The staff provide feedback about
her day and are very approachable and helpful with any questions or concerns I have. I wouldn't hesistate in recommending the nursery. My older children attended a different nursery and I can see how well Happy Days nursery is run in comparison.

Our daughter has been at Happy Days Too since January 2024 and as a family, we've been incredibly impressed with the excellent care and attention received. The staff are kind, attentive, friendly, approachable and welcoming, and work hard to create a fun, stimulating and safe environment. Our daughter
loves her days at nursery and we love seeing all the photos at the end of each day showing us all the varied activities she's been enjoying. We're also impressed with the professional and organised management team and all the correspondence we receive keeping us up to date, which reassures us that we picked the right nursery for our daughter.

Our youngest is at Happy Days Too in Busby. Our eldest started at the nursery when we moved to the area when he was 2. With both children the nursery took a really personal approach to getting the children settled in their new rooms and routines. We love the staff and couldn't be happier with the care
the children receive. Our eldest had such a good experience and was well prepared for the transition to primary school. We didn't hesitate to send our youngest here - the people really do make it! Thank you all!

Both of my children currently attend Happy Days Too nursery and I am very happy sending my girls here. The transition into the nursery and moving rooms has been expertly handled. The staff are very approachable and nurturing. I love the daily updates on private groups to see what the children have been
learning about.

We have had an amazing experience at Happy Days Too.
My son was there from 2020 to 2022 and my daughter is currently there.
The staff are very friendly and loving towards the children.
They do such an amazing variety or activities and cover such a wide range of topics!
My daughter is so happy
going in every morning and loves telling me everything she has got up to.
I truly feel that I leave my little one somewhere where she is happy, loved, well cared for and nurtured.
Thank you Happy Days Too.

Both of my children have attended Happy Days Too. My youngest is currently in the 3-5 room.
It is a fantastic setting with brilliant staff and loads of outdoor space.
My son comes home every day with stories about what he's been doing and all the friends he's played with.
I wouldn't hesitate in
recommending this nursery to anyone, we've had nothing but positive experiences.
My daughter is now at P4 in school and still friends with children she met at Happy Days. There are still a great number of staff who looked after her (low staff turnover) and still remember her when she's there for pick-up.

My daughter goes to Happy Days Too, and she loves it there. She has allergies and the staff have been very accommodating and inclusive. They have helped her to develop her confidence and independence, in all areas of the curriculum. When she started in 2022, they provided an enhanced transition, putting
wellbeing and nurture first and foremost. Thank you to all the staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Happy Days Too is such a fantastic nursery that we chose to send our second child there even after moving house and having a number of nurseries closer. My daughter was there from 1 year old to 5 years old and the staff were fantastic with her, helping to nurture her, growing her confidence, and helping
her develop the skills for starting school. As a February birthday we chose to defer her, and she stayed at Happy Days right up until she started school. Now she loves coming with me to pick up her little brother so she can say hi to 'the ladies'. My little boy adores nursery and has come on so much in his development. Many of the staff looking after him also looked after my daughter, which gives us great confidence as we feel we know them well, and is also testament to the nursery for good staff retention. I have recommended Happy Days to several friends who now have children there and are all delighted.

We have used Happy Days Too since 2015, sending our three children here from babies. Our youngest is currently in his pre-school year.
I highly recommend Happy Days Too. The staff are amazing with the children, many of which have worked here for decades! Activities are varied and children learn and
develop in the most nurturing and fun-filled environment.
Garden space is vast and our children love being outdoors, exploring the seasons and outdoor activities.
All food is prepared and cooked onsite and is nutritious and varied. Definitely another highlight of my children's day!
Thank you Happy Days Too for looking after our boys over the years and giving them the very best start in life.

Our child has been attending this nursery from age 10 months and loves the time they spend there. Staff are friendly, helpful, supportive and compassionate and attentive to the needs of the children. The development of our child throughout his time here is clearly evident. Our child is confident in
social settings, participates in a variety of educational and fun activities and has made lots of friends. The outdoor facilities are utilised on a daily basis where the children get the chance to enjoy play in the fresh air. Regular parents evenings and apps allow you to get more of an insight into your child's progress and development The nursery has a robust rotational catering system for all children and dietary requirements. The cooks are more than happy to assist with help and recipes to encourage good food relationships in the children. We recommend this nursery to any parents looking for a reliable and consistent childcare provider that put children at the heart of their business.

Good experience of the nursery. Lots of varied activities, staff are very engaged with the children. My child enjoys the freedom of having the choice to play inside or outside.
Very popular nursery so can be difficult to get a space and not very flexible with days.

Both of my children have absolutely loved Happy Days Too, son now at school but daughter still there. Both settled really well, love the staff and feel secure and happy. Special mention to the cook who is fantastic and always smiling. Staff seem happy and well supported including in their own personal
development, and this is reflected in how many of them are there years later. Would highly recommend.

Our child has been at this nursery from the age of 1 and the staff have always been lovely and caring! They have lots of activities and get plenty of time outside to play!
The app used is updated throughout the day giving you information on your child's progress. I love seeing all the pictures of my

The staff are caring and are always there to help and discuss any development concerns.
Overall we are very happy with this nursery!

We couldn't be happier with Happy Days Too. Both of our children, aged 1 and 3, absolutely love attending. Our son even asks if he's going to nursery on his days off-he enjoys it that much!
The staff are incredibly caring and kind, always making the children feel welcome and supported. The activities
are imaginative, fun, and thoughtfully designed to be educational. It's wonderful to see how much they are thriving at Happy Days Too. We would highly recommend it to other parents.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.919)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.919) out of 10 for Happy Days Too Private Nursery 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 56 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 56 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 4.919 for Happy Days Too Private Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (616 Excellents x 5) + (50 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 668 Ratings = 4.919
  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 Happy Days Too Private Nursery is based on 56 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 176 number of registered child places is 35.2, which has been reached with 56 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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2015

Hello.


My name is Lorraine and I am Nursery Manager at Happy Days Too.


I have 23 years experience in the early years sector and feel privileged to have played a special part in the lives of so many children and families over the years.


Since entering the profession, I have gained various early years qualifications including a BA Childhood Practice at Glasgow University. I have had great success managing excellent early years settings which have been commended by Care Inspectorate, local authorities and others in the sector.


I am passionate about providing a high quality service for children and families and understand the importance that early years experiences have on a child's future outcomes. Being a parent of two young children, I fully understand the significance of choosing an early years setting and strive to meet parents expectations through partnership working.


Ensuring that every child feels safe, secure and loved in the setting is key, in order to support children to meet their full potential. Positive relationships are at the heart of our practice to allow us to build trusting relationships with both children and parents.


I look forward to meeting you when you visit the nursery and hopefully join the Happy Days Too family.
