My son has been attending this nursery for a while now, and I couldn't be happier with the experience he's having. The teachers are incredibly friendly, warm and genuinely caring. It's clear they put a lot of effort into making the children feel comfortable and supported. My son seems very happy here,
and that alone gives me so much peace of mind. The other children are welcoming. The classroom itself is spacious and filled with plenty of engaging activities to keep children busy and stimulated. The garden is also lovely - a wonderful space for them to play outdoors. I appreciate the healthy snacks and dinners provided. My son can tell me about his day, and I am genuinely happy.

My daughter thoroughly enjoys going to Happy Days Nursery. She has made lots of friends, and she has a great relationship with her teachers in class. The activities are fabulous and very educational, and my daughter's development has really improved since attending. The staff are friendly, caring and
very supportive and make it a special place for the children to learn and play. The food choices and the food given could be a bit more varied. The same food given regularly, more meat based food should be provided, lots of vegetarian and non meat based food served, but lots of fruit, which is great. I think Happy Days Nursery is very good, keep up the good work!

We love Happy Days and could not recommend them more. The girls in both Explorers 1 and 2 have made my daughter and us as parents really comfortable and informed on every step and progress. We couldn't be more thankful for the love they show my little one.

My little boy started at Happy Days last March and moved to Explorers 1 in December. The staff have always been so lovely, and he has settled in quickly to the new room. We are always kept up to date with what he has been doing, and we love seeing the pictures. He has learnt so much. The staff are always
setting up different activities to keep them engaged. We are really happy that we made the choice for him to attend Happy Days.

Our daughter has been attending Happy Days Poole since she was 12 months old. She turned 3 last year and is now moving up to the preschool room. Our daughter has excelled whilst being at Happy Days. She is a bright happy 3 year old and loves her days at nursey. She has also made some great friends.
The daily activities from making bread, water play, discussing emotions etc. are brilliant and our daughter talks about these fondly. The staff including the management team are excellent. They understand each child's needs and makes sure they feel happy and secure. We are always kept informed, either personally or via the family app. We could not recommend Happy Days enough to other parents and have already referred family members to the nursey.

Absolutely love the staff in Adventurers 1, the girls are always so welcoming and have created such strong bonds with my daughter. My 3 year old is always happy to go to nursery and loves to tell me all about the things she has been learning about. Would definitely recommend.

Our daughter has been attending Happy Days since she was nine months old, and she has always felt very happy and safe there. Whenever we pick her up. She is always having a nice ti,e, and she is very fond of the children and staff. I asked her what her favourite thing about nursery is, and she said
'the singing' - she loves all the songs and says they sing every day!

We are incredibly happy with the care and attention our daughter receives at this nursery. From the very beginning, the staff have been welcoming, professional, and genuinely caring. I struggled with Post Natal Anxiety and being with my daughter on her settling-in days was such great help. One of the
standout features is their beautiful outdoor facilities - thoughtfully designed to encourage exploration and connection with nature. It's such a joy to see our daughter happy and socialising with the the other kids. She's thriving in this environment, growing in confidence, curiosity, and happiness. We couldn't ask for a better place to support her early development!

The school is made up of wonderful, caring teachers who are always looking out for the children. My son loves to come to school, which is a good sign of being accepted and loved. He indeed has become even more confident, which I can attribute to the environment he gets from his teachers. I will recommend
Happy Days anytime to every parent. It is a wonderful place to be.

My twin daughters have attended Happy Days Nursery Poole for the last 2.5 years, since they were 17 months old. They started in the baby room and are now in the preschool room. My girls were born 11 weeks premature and the nursery have moved them from room to room based on their development, as opposed
to their age. This has been very beneficial to their development and confidence. All the staff are very polite, friendly and professional and my girls and the other children like them. My girls have developed in all areas since attending this nursery. My girls have really enjoyed their time at this nursery and will be sad to leave when they go to school this September. I would thoroughly recommend this nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.832)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.832) out of 10 for Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Poole is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 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 4.832 for Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Poole is calculated as follows: ( (323 Excellents x 5) + (54 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 382 Ratings = 4.832
  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 & Pre-School - Poole is based on 32 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 81 number of registered child places is 16.2, which has been reached with 32 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.
