Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little girl has been attending this nursery since she was fourteen months old for four full days a week and she is now three and a half years old. She settled in very well and made new friends straight away. All the resources available are amazing and there is plenty of toys to choose from. After
the transition to the ‘older room’ everyone made sure she was comfortable and settled in. She became very independent with the help of the staff. The activities she has every day are amazing, with something different to do every day. The food that is being provided is cooked on site and meals are always finished! During the pandemic everyone provided an excellent service and great support to both children and parents. I would highly recommend the nursery for all parents.

A brilliant happy and attentive nursery. I have had a previous nursery which didn’t meet the standards and both my girls are so happy and well looked after by your team. Sad to hear the change of management as of may but I’m sure they girls will continue their high standards.

My child is relatively new to nursery but even in such a short time I highly recommend. The staff are so kind with my son and attend to his needs as an individual. With the social isolation of lockdown, they have helped him to develop his social skills no end. He always comes home with a smile on his
face and thoroughly worn out from all the activities on offer.
The menu that they offer is also excellent. Thank you all for your care.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We viewed three nurseries when choosing one for our son who had just turned two at the time and this one gave us all the feels. The staff have been incredible with helping our boy settle in, as he was very quiet and subdued at the beginning. He's completely out of his shell now and made so many friends
who he talks about constantly. Being a July baby, we were slightly worried that he might not be ready for school in September but due to the wonderful environment of the nursery, where he's been able to learn plenty, socialise well and prepare for school life, we now feel that he'll be more than ready. Can't thank the team enough for all they've done, especially through these trialing times.

This nursery has done a fabulous job with my overly clingy daughter, within the first three settling in sessions she was settled and waving me off smiling. She has come on leaps and bounds in such a short amount of time, I couldn't recommend this nursery any more. All staff are so lovely. All round,
a fabulous nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We chose Happy Days initially due to the convenient location and opening hours for my commute to work. Our daughter started a few months after they opened when she was around 10 months old and she’ll soon be three. She has a whale of a time there, absolutely loving the environment and those that care
for her. The team are incredibly supportive, not only of the children but of the parents too - I’ve received many a word of encouragement when they’ve sensed I’ve needed it! Certainly, this last year has thrown a whole host of challenges at all of us and the team at Happy Days have clearly continued to have the children’s best interests at heart and we are delighted that our daughter is able to feel so safe and secure in this fun and educational environment. We recommend them wholeheartedly.

Happy Days Weston is the most fantastic nursery. My daughter loves attending and adores the team. From day one I have been impressed by all areas- activities, learning, play, meals and progress reports. The nursery has that family feel and all the staff are friendly, professional and welcoming. The
smile on my little girl's face when she walks in says it all. She is learning so much from the setting and I honestly cannot praise and thank the team enough.

As soon as we had a tour of Happy Days we knew that this was the Nursery that we wanted to send our daughter to. From the moment we walked in back in March last year we could see the warmth and caring personalities of the staff, the fantastic learning environments and the excellent knowledge of the
early years. Since starting nursery in September the staff have gone above and beyond to help our daughter settle in and she absolutely loves going to nursery. It is lovely to see how all the staff know your children and can comment on something they have accomplished, a new word, eaten something different or even what mischief she had been up to! The staff are such a caring team and have been so supportive of our family and how welcoming they are when we were able to return. They have exceeded all expectations with how they have dealt with the challenging situations they have faced during the pandemic and I feel our child could not be in safer hands whilst we are working. Thank you all!

The staff here have been warm and welcoming to both our children, one of which is now at school. It will be good to get back to having a chat at the end of the day when lockdown ends! The team have been good dealing with initial reluctance in the morning, as well as conflict when it happened. I feel
the team has coped well with the lockdown, and are making the day as normal as possible for the kids.

What a fabulous nursery! We viewed the nursery when my daughter was just a few months old when it first opened and knew straight away that this was the best place for her. The setting and staff are absolutely amazing and they’re constantly looking at ways to make things even better. My daughter loves
coming here and her daily feedback is always so positive. I never hesitate to recommend Happy Days and I’ll be sad when she has to leave to start school.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was really nervous sending my son to the nursery at 11 months old, but as I was returning to full-time work it was needed. Of all the nurseries I looked at Happy Days felt the most right. We had just come out of the first lockdown when he was due to start, so he hadn't really been held or looked after
by anyone else. On our initial visit to get him familiar with the environment, he was held by one of the team and walked around the nursery - this was the first time I hadn't seen him cry whilst being held by someone other than me! We had a rough start settling him in as he didn't like to leave me, but Happy Days were brilliant and offered as many settling in sessions as he would need. They were so kind and understanding with the whole process, allowing me to call in the initial days just to check he was ok and reassuring me. He is now settled in perfectly, and absolutely loves his nursery days! Would definitely recommend the team at Weston, they're fab.

Happy Days Weston-super-Mare are fantastic. They genuinely care about the families of the children who attend. They have been amazing during the pandemic with so many safety measures in place and excellent processes to deal with any issues that have arisen.
My son loves going there and he has developed
so much in the 5 months that he has attended (he is now 18 months) in terms of confidence, language, independence and group playing. He has great relationships with the ladies there and always waves and smiles when we arrive in the mornings. He loves the food and is shattered every evening from the fun he’s had during the day! I particularly love that they have so much outdoor time as this was a very important consideration for me. They have a lovely outdoor play area.
Starting nursery during lockdown wasn’t the easiest but we love Happy Days and they have given me the confidence to go back to work full time, knowing that my son is not only being looked after, but nurtured.

I cannot recommend the team at Happy Days more, it’s not your regular ‘run of the mill’ nursery! If you’re looking for a team of practitioners who are compassionate, knowledgeable, dedicated and enthusiastic then this is the place for you. My son has been at Happy Days for two years and is thriving.
Each day he comes out happy and animated about his day. The activities are tailored to the children’s interests and my little one can’t wait to go in and see what the day holds! Also, I have found that the leadership team's knowledge and experience with SEN is excellent and this really is put into practice, with the nursery being a completely nurturing and inclusive setting.

We are very happy with the care and support our son receives at Happy Days. The nursery is full of warm, caring and skilled workers who show real commitment to the children’s development, happiness and individuals needs and strengths. Their excellent level of care makes us as parents very comfortable
leaving our son with them. An all-round lovely nursery to be part of.

Happy Days Weston has been absolutely fantastic for both my little girl and myself as a parent. We’re always kept well informed of things the children have been doing and I often get calls in the day to update me if my daughters had a bump. I feel so comfortable and at ease leaving my little girl with
happy days. We’ve both been made to feel extremely welcome. I couldn’t recommend happy days enough. The team are fantastic. X

Couldn’t recommend the nursery enough, the facilities are fantastic and always clean and tidy.
Throughout the last few months, we have had regular email updates regarding the latest government guidelines and support offered to each family.
The staff have been incredible throughout the entire pandemic
and when my daughter had to return in June after a break due to the Covid-19 pandemic they were there to support us both. Through her separation anxiety and my anxiety about her safety etc. they have helped support us both and have been unfaltering.
My daughter (16 months) now waves me off at the door and loves spending time at nursery.
Fantastic 5-star review from us and huge thanks to all the staff and management who help keep our girl happy and cared for while we are working.

Couldn’t recommend this nursery more. My child has blossomed in the nursery. Soon as we walked in for the viewing, it just felt so calming and our child was instantly settled. Their speech has developed really well and they even sing when they tidy up at home. It’s so lovely to pick them up and
hear what they’ve learnt that day. They are always so happy and well-fed when they leave. The staff are all so lovely and friendly! We especially love the free flow between the room and the garden, unlike other nurseries which set times it means my child can be where they feel happiest.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.766)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.766) out of 10 for Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Weston-super-Mare 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 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.766 for Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Weston-super-Mare is calculated as follows: ( (263 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 304 Ratings = 4.766
  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 - Weston-super-Mare is based on 25 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 105 number of registered child places is 21, which has been reached with 25 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.
