I would happily recommend Happy Faces to anyone who wants a friendly, warm and welcoming environment for their pre-schooler. The staff are excellent and have a genuine rapport with the children which puts both parent and child at ease. The facilities are great and the setting is peaceful yet stimulating
in a beautiful countryside village. My daughter loves the days she goes to Happy Faces and is having the best possible preparation for school both in terms of her social skills and early learning.

Happy Faces is an exceptional playgroup. The setting and childcare is fantastic. Both my children bonded with their key person and I never felt apprehensive leaving them. Highly recommend to parents who are looking for a small, stimulating and friendly environment. The outside space also happens to
be one of the best I have seen!

Both of my daughters have attended Happy Faces over a 2 year period and I honestly couldn’t recommend another playgroup to anyone I meet. The staff are always so friendly, caring and open. The setting is beautiful, backing onto open countryside, with a large well-equipped garden which is utilised all
year round. The staff make every effort to involve the parents in any outside activities or themes and I feel totally at ease leaving my daughter in such good hands.

Current Review Score: 7.9 (7.942)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.9 (7.942) out of 10 for Happy Faces Playgroup is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 1 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.750 for Happy Faces Playgroup is calculated as follows: ( (9 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 4.75

  • b) 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 3.192 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Happy Faces Playgroup is based on 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 = 3

    • ii) 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 26 number of registered child places is 5.2. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 5.2 = 0.192

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
