Review from Mrs B (Mother of Child) published on 6 April 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Happy Days is an amazing nursery. The staff are all wonderful and very friendly. I love the layout of the rooms and the range of activities they do with the children. I know they are taking the best care of my little one.

The food is also worth noting that it looks really good and my little one is eager to tell me what they had eaten that day.

Review from Megan G (Mother of Child) published on 26 August 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

When our child first started nursery, every single member of staff made sure that she had an extremely positive experience. This meant that she settled really quickly. Now, nearly 6 months on, the staff at Happy Days Exeter have provided such a caring, supportive environment, that every time she comes home she seems to have learnt something new! The meals they provide are 5*, our child always eats everything as she finds it so tasty! When you arrive in the morning the staff are so welcoming that it immediately puts you at ease about leaving your child. Overall, I would recommend them to anyone as I truly credit the work they do with helping our little girl develop into a confident, chatty and well-behaved toddler!

Overall Experience

My daughters experience has been fantastic over the past few years here. The activities on offer are varied and engaging for the children. The staff are friendly, positive and knowledgeable. The nursery is very clean and the use of space with area sectioned off but still offering an open atmosphere is lovely. The children seem to be able to come and go outside to the garden area which is safe and supervised. The menu and food variation is incredible and very healthy. My little girl always comes home very happy and I feel her start in life at this nursery has been great. Can't fault it!

Review from A L (Mother of Child) published on 27 July 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

We are so pleased with our choice of nursery. Our little boy is so happy there, he is always keen to go and runs up to the door. The environment is stimulating without being overwhelming, it is spotlessly clean, the staff are friendly, engaging and informed. The children genuinely seem to be at the centre of the nursery's ethos. Physical and mental needs are met, children have access to outdoor play areas. The food is prepared and cooked on-site and has really helped develop our boy's appetite and table manners. We couldn't be happier and would strongly recommend the team at Happy Days Exeter.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending this nursery since Sept 2015 and loves it. She goes three days a week and couldn't be happier. Her speech is amazing for her age and learns new things everyday. Always lots of different activities for her to do and she loves to play out in the garden as much as possible. Excellent facilities inside and out. Friendly staff who have really got to know and bonded with my daughter. I look forward to picking her up and hearing all about what she has been up to each day. Healthy meals and snacks are really good too.

Overall Experience

We have been really happy with the care our daughter has received at Happy Days Nursery - Exeter. The team are really welcoming and know our daughter really well, I'm always impressed they remember the smallest detail and the names of all her teddies! Our daughter has eczema and allergies which are really well managed by her key worker and the wider team. I know she is well looked after and doing fun and new activities on her days there. I would highly recommend it to parents looking at their childcare options.

Keira Vincent Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2025
Keira Vincent

My name is Keira, and I have over 15 years of childcare experience. I began my childcare career volunteering at a nursery and immediately fell in love with the job. Eager to learn everything I could, I then began my own learning journey whilst working in nurseries, carrying out my level 2, 3 and 4 NVQ qualifications across 5 different nurseries in Exeter of various different sizes and set ups.

I joined Happy Days Exeter in 2022 in a varied role as the nursery administrator, supervisor, health and safety officer and SENCO. I loved working for Happy Days in such a varied role, taking on lots of different responsibilities and new challenges, which naturally led me into undertaking my level 5 in operations management with the company and excitingly taking on the role of manager, which is my favourite role I have had so far! I am passionate about supporting and empowering our families, children and staff team. It is so rewarding and inspiring to watch our children grow and learn, and to be a part of nurturing their learning journey.
