Review from Rebecca M (Mother of Child) published on 6 November 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son loves going to nursery and always talks about the staff, and the activities he has done that day. They provide a good standard of care, fun activities and they monitor a child's development and encourage them to talk about how they are feeling.

Nursery is very thorough and the staff are all kind.
They care deeply for the children and I am confident leaving my child there.
They ask about the weekends and any new information every day and any new interests carry this over into their planning.

Review from A O (Mother of Child) published on 21 September 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
Reception staff were great, however, care staff were very unprofessional and uncaring. My child was so distressed attending that we decided to change nurseries which was the best thing we had done as things improved once we moved them.
Walked in on a staff member telling my child to ‘cheer up’ when
crying and very distressed. A member of staff at the new nursery was also told by a member of staff here ‘No that my child was ‘whingy’ and ‘annoying’.'
No handover provided was always told my child had had a good day whereas I could tell otherwise and could tell my child had been crying for a long time.
No plans put in place for management of anxiety. Children were just left to wander aimlessly with a minority of staff choosing to take their role seriously instead of sitting chatting or doing paperwork.

My child enjoys nursery at happy days. He always talks about what he has been up to, the staff are friendly and this has helped him settle after time off. During lockdown they have kept us informed and would definitely recommend to family and friends. A lovely nursery and lovely setting.

Great facilities, the manager always goes out of her way to communicate or address any issues. I found most of the staff, with small exception, being quite unenthusiastic which is a shame for such a lovely nursery.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I have a good experience at this pre-school where my son has been going for a year. It is very nice and clean. The staff are very friendly. The teachers have prepared the children well for starting their school. I find my son has become more independent and tries to do all his work by himself. In recent
days it has been very helpful to receive "the summary of the day" in writing, it helps us to understand what the child has eaten and have done throughout the day.

Review from Rowena H (Mother of Child) published on 1 February 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our 1 year old daughter has been at Happy Days in Bath since she was 8 months old, 2 mornings per week. She absolutely loves it and makes her 'excited' sounds in the car when we arrive. In fact, she has been happy here since day one and I have never felt that I am leaving her behind, rather that she
is benefitting from every minute with the lovely staff and the peaceful, fun environment. Her key person has been wonderful since the beginning, but my daughter likes all of the staff and goes to them all happily. They have also been wonderful with our various dietary needs.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.813)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.813) out of 10 for Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Bath 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 4.813 for Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Bath is calculated as follows: ( (309 Excellents x 5) + (62 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 375 Ratings = 4.813
  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 - Bath 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 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 70 number of registered child places is 14, 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.
