Review from Abby S (Mother of Child) published on 22 May 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am so glad I enrolled my twins with Happy Days Nursery. They have both settled in quickly and are so happy there. The staff are always welcoming and friendly. Already in the short space of time that my twins have been attending nursery, they have both developed so much by being allowed to explore
and experience all different sorts of new adventures. The food they provide is always varied and healthy along with the odd treat for birthdays and special occasions. I love the review form that is sent home with them after each session so I can read all about what they have been up too and I am really looking forward to our first parents evening in a few weeks. I just wish I could afford for them to attend more days than they do.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After looking at several nurseries in the Bristol area and not being inspired walking into Happy Days at Bradley Stoke was like a breath of fresh air. All of the staff are friendly, very welcoming, professional and clearly love what they do. We wanted to find a nursery where our son would not only have
fun but also experience new things and learn each day, we certainly have found this here. I can't recommend Happy Days at Bradley Stoke high enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the first time we visited to today we have not had anything bad to say about this nursery. The care he receives is outstanding. He receives a lot of care and affection and is always happy to go. The food is home cooked, fresh and a big variety. The activities are always interesting, varied and
age related. The staff and management are always happy to talk and answer questions and provide daily feedback. I would highly recommend Happy Days.

Review from Jo B (Mother of Child) published on 22 April 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little boy started at Happy Days Bradley Stoke when he was 10 months old, I looked around several nurseries and knew that this nursery was the right one - he did initially start at another nursery - however due to problems that occurred with his settling in sessions I decided that nursery wasn't
for him! Bradley Stoke is wonderful, the staff are lovely and I really like the bond my son has built with his key worker despite him only going in one day a week.
They do lot's of nice activities with the children, I especially like receiving things he has made throughout the day - the garden is also a lovely area for little ones to explore.
When I pick him up he always seems bright, chatty and happy! :-)
I hope in the meanwhile the other nursery have had additional training to ensure their nursery standards match Bradley Stoke!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter loves her time at nursery. She started at 17 months and despite struggling with being separated form me at first, the staff were great at reassuring and supporting both of us. She settled in really quickly due to the efforts of the Happy days team. She now loves it! Christmas was a very
exciting affair, it was lovely to have so many gifts bought home! Her speech and socialisation skills have really come on as an only child she now thoroughly enjoys the company of other children. I have nothing but high praise for the staff at Happy Days who are warm and welcoming. When I pick up and drop off. Have already recommended to other friends.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Very happy with the decision we made to change my daughter's nursery. The staff at Happy Days are very good, committed and friendly. The management is doing a very good work of running the nursery in an orderly manner. The premises are always clean and the children are given all the attention they need.
I can see the changes in my daughter already. Their interests are re taken into account by activities are developed considering each individual child. Hope to see Happy Days keeping up with the good work by commitment in future.

I love this nursery, my daughter didn't ever like leaving me, but has settled in great. She is also trying new foods. The outside space and equipment is great. It is always clean and tidy.

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.
