Lovely nursery. My son very much enjoys his time at Happy Days. He has great bonds with all the staff and is happy when dropping him off. There are always interesting activities for him to play with inside and outside.

My grandson thoroughly enjoys nursery and when I pick him up he always comes out telling me about his day. His teachers give me all the information about how he has eaten and slept that day, and they are so friendly. The rooms are clean and inviting with lots of activities for him to enjoy. The garden
is always really busy and he enjoys playing out there.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We couldn't have picked a better nursery for our girls and know they have a great time at Happy Days. From day one we felt like all members of staff spoke to us like they had known us for years. Whilst I'm terrible at remembering names and faces, it's great that everyone knows who our children are and
are able to comment on how well they have been getting on, from those that look after them to the reception staff. We feel confident that even when their key workers aren't around, they are comfortable with all of the adults and are well looked after. We previously looked at nursery as a means of childcare, but we have 100% seen the developmental benefits it has brought and know we made the right decision.

Happy Days Nursery in Bradley Stoke is just amazing I’m so glad I made the choice to send my 2 little ones to this nursery, the staff are all so friendly and welcoming. I love the indoor/outdoor play they have available, so your child is able to play outside as and when they wish or just stay in and
do arts and crafts and many more. My eldest is now leaving to start school and they have helped prepare her for her start at school and for that I am very grateful. My youngest was a bit slow at wanting to try nappies and they really helped to encourage her and give it a go and now she’s finally toilet trained. So overall, I would definitely recommend them to any parents looking for great childcare for their little one.

My daughter started her nursery in September, the staff are friendly, lovely and care about the children. They always welcome us with happy faces. Also, my daughter has formed good relationships with the staff and other children. She learned so many things after a year of nursery, she knows how to speak
and understand very good English language (her other language being Romanian). So we would not hesitate to recommend this nursery. Fantastic. Thank you.

Two of my boys are attending Happy Days. We moved from another town but despite the big change they settled in very quickly and they are very happy, happier than they were at the previous nursery. Communication with the parents is excellent, we are kept up to speed with the children's progress and their
developmental needs. The nursery is also very clean. Staff are superstars, the key person really knows the children very well and you can see that from the bond the children form with them. They do lots of activities with the children. So, all in all, I highly recommend this nursery!

My child comes from another country and English is not our first language. The teachers in this nursery are very supportive and help our child to make friends and learn. They love children from their heart, very caring towards the children's feelings. My child is learning English quickly and getting
used to the new environment very well.

Both of my children attended and are attending Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Bradley Stoke. All the personnel are very competent and caring. They really give their hearts to what they do and I feel that my child is thriving in the nursery. My daughter was very happy there and now my son attends the
nursery, since he was sixteen months. He is a very happy child and I know that his good developmental pace is thanks to his child minders. A special thanks to four members of staff in particular! Thank you so much and I cannot thank you enough for being so great, competent and caring.

I would thoroughly recommend Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Bradley Stoke. My daughter settled in very quickly and is happy to attend each day. The nursery is great at communication via email, in our daughters daily diary book and on the Facebook group so despite not being able to go in due to Covid-19,
we feel like we get to see what life is like inside. They have also implemented Covid-19 safety measures well, which is reassuring to see. We are moving out of the area and I am sad that my daughter will be changing nurseries as she has been cared for so well here.

Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Bradley Stoke is a fantastic nursery. My older daughter went there from the age of nine months until school and now five years later my eight-month-old attends full-time. The staff are absolutely brilliant, my daughter's face lights up every morning when she sees them.
They do some many different stimulating activities with the children and they encourage them to spend a lot of time outdoors, which is great. The quality of the feedback at the end of the day is really high and it's obvious that the staff really care about the children. I can't recommend Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Bradley Stoke highly enough!

We are so pleased with how our little girl settled at nursery, especially after being away for so long due to Covid-19, she settled right back in and really thrives being there. Very happy we chose Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Bradley Stoke and especially pleased with all the measures put in place

Since my daughter started, she has come on leaps and bounds. She has never hesitated going in, which I can only presume is because she feels so comfortable. I am extremely happy and would definitely recommend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Such a fantastic nursery and pre-school, I'd thoroughly recommend it. My older son has attended from the age of 1. He has thrived here and I think it will make the transition to school so much easier later this year. He absolutely loves going and is always talking about his friends. Written feedback
is given daily. More recently, photos are being shared with a private group, it's been lovely to see the fun and educational activities they have been doing. My younger son has attended for 4 months so far. He has settled in really well and is very different from the baby who (due to lockdown) used to cry whenever he saw anyone outside of our household. All the members of staff are brilliant, they seem very caring and enthusiastic. I'm reassured in the professional manner in which they have adapted to the pandemic and implemented new procedures to keep everyone as safe as possible.

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.
