My son has been settled at Happy Days Bradley Stoke since he was 12 months old. Now 3, he is absolutely thriving, loves going into nursery and his development has come on so quickly. The activities the staff set up for the children are heartwarming and they really do care for your child's wellbeing.

Our child has been attending Happy Days Bradley Stoke for the last year and absolutely loves it and so do we! The staff are warm, welcoming and brilliant at developing those within their care. Our little one comes back happily exhausted every day having learnt new songs, dances and experiences. The
activities laid out for the children are varied and impactful, recently they all did a brilliant science experiment with foam going everywhere. We've seen huge leaps in our child's development since she started here, genuinely surprising us with all the things she's learnt each day. We get regular updates throughout the day on the easy-to-use app with videos and pictures and have a great relationship with her Key Worker. We have already recommended Happy Days Bradley Stoke to friends and would have no issues or concerns recommending again. Great team, great place, thank you all so much.

Happy Days are the most amazing nursery. Both my son and daughter go there and I couldn't have picked a better nursery for them. They go in so happy and excited for their day. The whole team are absolutely amazing and I can't thank them enough for everything they have done to help us, especially Mel
who has helped my son so much with his extra needs. Both my children have a close bond with everyone and it makes me feel so at ease knowing they are in the best hands.
Thank you for everything!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff are so attentive and caring and we know our child is in safe hands from the moment he arrives until we pick him up.
He thrives under their supervision; learning, having fun, making friends and growing more and more independent each day.
In the morning we love to see what he's having for
lunch. At pick up it's a joy to see the pictures he has made, or the ones his friends have made for him. It's also great when they have been on outings in the local community. Seeing him playing in the garden is lovely too as he really enjoys the mix of indoor and outdoor activities.
We couldn't be happier with Happy Days!

Both my kids go to Happy Days Bradley Stoke and I could not be happier! The staff are absolutely fantastic and treat us all like family. My eldest is hyper and stubborn but the staff deal with them so well, especially the room leader. My littlest has fallen in love with their key worker. Everyone is
so friendly and makes time for any query. They are really understanding and will help in any way they can. I would 100% recommend this nursery (and often do!) we will be very sad to go when it's time for school.

We have had an absolutely wonderful experience with Happy Days Bradley Stoke, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! From the very first day, we knew we had made the right choice for our child. The staff are exceptional. They are not only highly professional and skilled but also incredibly caring
and nurturing. It is evident that they genuinely love what they do, and this is reflected in the warm and welcoming environment they create every day. The activities and curriculum are both engaging and educational. Our child has flourished in this setting, learning new skills, making friends, and exploring new interests. It's clear that the staff put a lot of thought and effort into planning activities, ensuring they are both fun and educational. Most importantly, our child loves going every day and has truly become a second home for our child, and we are so grateful. Thank you, for providing such a fantastic start to our child's educational journey.

Both our children used Happy Days in Bradley Stoke and we couldn't be happier with this choice. The nursery is very well run, and the staff in the rooms are superb! The staff went out of their way to provide fun and engaging activities each day, and the care and compassion they have for the children
is so apparent. Would highly recommend this nursery.
Thanks Happy Days for caring for our little ones and helping them to flourish!

After the closure of my son's previous nursery. We were able to secure a place at Happy Days.
I can only praise them for the excellent service that they have given. In particular, I would like to thank two staff members in particular who have been excellent with my son. He adores them both. It is also
clear that he has developed in his preparation to start school. I would recommend them to anyone looking for childcare.

I have been with Happy Days for 7 years now. First son 2017-2021, my middle son is about to finish for big school, and my youngest son is about to start. They have been fantastic in all aspects. As a parent, I like that they are always quick to respond to emails/queries, and the teachers are very approachable
and knowledgeable. Being able to drop off so early in the mornings is a massive help to us. My boys have always enjoyed going to Happy Days, making great friends (with their peers and teachers!) and experiencing new things. My eldest still loves popping in to visit and say hi to all the teachers. Looking forward to another 4 brilliant years with the team.

I cannot sing the praises of the nursery staff enough. My daughter had a difficult time over Christmas which affected her confidence but through support of the team (especially one member of staff in particular!) she quickly returned to her confident outgoing self. She loves going there and looks forward
to seeing all her friends, she always comes home with a big smile on her face and has grand stories of what they have all been doing.
Plus they are great value for money and their communication is great - loving the new app as well.
Thank you Happy Days!

Absolutely wonderful nursery. My daughter has thrived here. The staff are so very friendly and supportive in every way. My daughter had her first school settle this week and due to Happy Days preparing her for school, she just breezed in without any concern. I can already see the transition will be
seamless.

Our son and daughter both attend Happy Days and we couldn’t have chosen a better nursery for them. They’ve both been thriving since they started and built up such strong bonds with all the staff members, especially their key people. Everyone genuinely cares about the children and understands their personalities.
There is such a variety of activities on offer to challenge, develop and motivate the children. I love the free flow into the garden, giving them a choice of where and what they want to play. The food is of a high standard and varied and the staff are so patient at encouraging our two to eat! It’s always a nervy decision to leave your child in someone else’s care, but Happy Days put me at ease straight away when I saw how happy our two are there. The staff are always on hand to answer questions or chat and comms are excellent. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Happy Days to anyone, brilliant nursery and well deserving of their Outstanding Ofsted rating. Thank you!

I honestly couldn’t recommend this nursery enough. The staff are always warm and friendly and my daughter really loves every single one. She goes to them with ease and joy and despite not wanting to be away from her I know she is going to be very well looked after and cared for. I have a very cuddly
child that loves her mummy and doesn’t often want to be off me but she will happily go to any of the staff in her room and it makes me so happy that she loves to be there. The handovers are really lovely and I love how everyone remembers little details.

Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Bradley Stoke had been on our choice of nurseries for my baby but it was on the day of our tour and meeting the admin staff here when I was sure it is here where I would like my baby to spend time away from me... and it was the perfect choice.
All the staff members
always take your suggestions on board and go to all extent to make you and your child comfortable.
I have nothing but praise for the hardworking and compassionate staff here.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.972)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.972) out of 10 for Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Bradley Stoke is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 48 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 48 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 4.972 for Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Bradley Stoke is calculated as follows: ( (562 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 576 Ratings = 4.972
  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 Nursery & Preschool - Bradley Stoke is based on 48 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 115 number of registered child places is 23, which has been reached with 48 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.
