Review from N O (Mother of Child) published on 14 July 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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.

Review from L M (Mother of Child) published on 26 June 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending Happy Days for six months after moving from another nursery when we moved house. She is always happy to go in the mornings, and we often see her happily playing if she doesn't spot us arrive at pick up. She is learning lots of new words and songs. She loves being outside, so the garden space is brilliant. The staff are friendly and attentive. I would recommend Happy Days to anyone looking for a lovely nursery.

Overall Experience

We could not be happier with Happy Days Poole. Our son loves attending nursery and has developed in so many ways. He can be quite anxious and shy, but the staff in his room are attentive, kind and always help him settle. The activities are always well thought out and fun. The environment is engaging and child-centred. We love how they celebrate important milestones for us as a family and always take the time to talk to us about our son's development, progress and well being. The staff in our son's room are special and we are so happy to be a part of this nursery.

Review from L B (Mother of Child) published on 16 May 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been attending Happy Days Nursery for nearly a year and joined when he was 8 months old. He started in explorers two where he made an amazing relationship with his key worker and in fact all of the nursery practitioners in that room. The room is perfect for babies and is a calm and nurturing environment with lots of activities to keep them busy throughout the day. He has now moved into explorers one where he has had a smooth transition with the help from his new key worker. I enjoy hearing about what my son has explored throughout the day, I also really enjoy the app where I can view photos and his learning and development. The nursery has a warm and welcoming feel as soon as you walk through the door. Would highly recommend!!

Review from A D (Mother of Child) published on 11 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Since my little one started at Happy Days Nursery & Pre-school - Poole in August 2024, he's absolutely loved it! The staff are incredible - always welcoming, friendly, and so kind. After our very first visit, we attended a settling-in session, and as soon as we walked in, the staff greeted us with a cheerful good morning and immediately knew my son's name. It was such a thoughtful touch, especially since he'd only been there for an initial visit before that.
The environment at Happy Days is truly comforting. My son's face lights up every day when he walks in, and it's clear he's particularly fond of his key workers, who always make him feel special.

I am beyond pleased with our choice of Happy Days for his nursery. He's learning so much, and the fact that he's so happy and well cared for while I'm at work gives me complete peace of mind.

Overall Experience

My child has been attending Happy Days for 3 years now. He always comes out with a smile on his face and enjoys his time there. As a teacher myself, have been really impressed with all the learning opportunities they have provided for my child and feel the nursery have helped further his growth and development. The staff are all so friendly and welcoming as well. I always leave my child feeling confident he is being well cared for and have recommended the nursery to many other people.

Overall Experience

Happy Days is a fantastic nursery, my little one has such an amazing time there, and seeing the updates on the app of all the fun things she's been up to that day put my mind at ease of being away from her. Happy Days were incredibly supportive in those first few weeks of my going back to work and my child to nursery, and I couldn't have made the move back to work without them. They have excellent facilities and an impressive outdoor space. The staff are all friendly and kind. The food they offer for little ones is brilliant and really encourages little ones to try lots of new food and textures. Brilliant nursery

We have had a great experience with Happy Days. We always get a warm welcome and the atmosphere is relaxed and happy whilst caring and ensuring each child's needs are met. The nursery is bright, clean and spacious, perfect for little ones to explore and most importantly safe.

The outside space is fantastic and is used a lot, a real benefit to this nursery.

My son has had a wonderful time at Happy Days. He has been well supported and loved by the adults who have looked after him.

His favourite thing by has been hanging out in the wild garden picking flowers in the shade.

Overall Experience

So pleased with Adventures 2, they have been so supportive during a tough time for myself and my son. It's so reassuring knowing that my child is being well looked after. I cannot recommend the staff and facilities enough. I have seen my son develop so much since joining this room. I think the outdoor space is fabulous and love receiving paintings and drawings at the end of the day. Overall I am so happy with the support and experience in this room.

My daughter has excelled with her social skills since starting and this is down to the effort the staff have put in. She is always happy at drop off and pick up and the staff are always happy to give her a cuddle on drop off if unsettled. I feel they really nurture her.
