This is my third child to attend the nursery and I would never choose anywhere else. The staff have remained consistent and have a fantastic relationship with my children.
They always come home glowing and happy from their day at nursery and the transition from pre school to school has been a breeze thanks to the staff.
If I had anymore children, I would send them 100 times over if I could.
Thank you for being amazing!
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback and for trusting Happy Days with all three of your children! We're proud to be part of your family's journey and delighted to hear they come home happy after their days with us. It's also great to know that the transitions have been smooth, and we truly appreciate your kind words about our team's ongoing support. :)
Happy days Pre School previously known as Tiddlers Pre School have been so fantastic over the last year and a half. The staff are always so energetic, friendly, kind, compassionate and welcoming. Our daughter absolutely adores going to Pre School & frequently talks about the staff at home. She always comes out happy and always talks very positively about her day and what she has done. One teacher is very well known for her wonderful cuddles and another for her excellent butterfly drawings! Another member of staff also has a soft spot in my daughter's heart for talking about her dog biscuit. And a big shout out to 4 other members of staff in particular, my daughter speaks about you all very fondly too. I cannot thank the girls at the nursery enough you are all wonderful. My son is very much looking forward to coming up to the Pre School once he is old enough and I know that he will settle with you lovely ladies, just as well as my daugher did. Thank you again.
I have had 2 children cared for by Happy Days Nursery in Saltford (previously Tiddlers) over the past 5 years. My experience has always been positive particularly in respect of the friendly and caring people that work there giving me confidence that my children are happy and well cared for. There are always varied activities, lots of outdoor play and appetizing food which they have always enjoyed. With the recent acquisition by Happy Days it is clear that some investment is being made in resources and the outdoor space which will continue to improve the already positive environment.
My youngest also attended the nursery & they were incredibly supportive and understanding when she transferred from another nursery.
When my oldest moved into school, the transition was simple with the support we got from happy days.
The change from Tiddlers to Happy days has seemed very corporate, going from a local nursery to a chain but no major changes. We are hoping no further changes as it was wonderful as it was.
I would give it 10 stars for care if I could as the pre school & nursery staff are just fantastic.
My small and only negative comment would be that we have had dirty (soiled) underwear mixed in with clean clothes (when it would usually be bagged) but when we raised this, it was addressed.
Learning: I get verbal feedback on behaviour, I presume they follow a curriculum? I never hear what my child has done each day. I would like more of that and how he's developing.
Care: amazing, although can come home with a dirty bottom. So would like more focus on supporting cleanliness with no 2's.
Staff: 10/10.
Management: 10/10 although since the take over, hardly any updates or photos on what my child has been doing each day, would like that to improve and be more frequent on the app.
Facilities/resources: it's great that happy days are updating and improving the site and equipment as was much needed.
Activities: would like more updates, as have no idea. Also advocate taking them out of the site daily as space is small, utilising the parish park next door makes you competitive with Snap dragons
(chuckles and staff - amazing! So happy here)
