Our little boy is so happy at Happy Days Salisbury. The staff are fantastic and always so welcoming. Our little one has a dairy allergy and it is managed brilliantly by the nursery team which really helps to put our minds at ease. Overall, a fantastic nursery!
As a first-time parent it's a scary thing to leave your child with someone who isn't Mummy or Daddy but I can honestly say putting him here is one of the best parenting decisions we made - he is absolutely thriving!
Our daughter started at this provision at the beginning of September age 12 months and we are so happy with the decision we made. A whole month in and we feel entirely adjusted and welcomed. Our daughter hasn't been the easiest to adjust and is a tricky little gremlin with separation/settling but gosh the team have been incredible, I say team because the care and compassion goes far beyond her wonderful key workers in her room. I have no doubts that we made the right choice and have found the perfect provision for these crucial early years to support her development in every meaningful way.
Staff are very lovely at nursery, also they do absolutely their best to make children happy in here.
We are constantly asked by new acquaintances if our child goes to nursery as they are so well-spoken and inquisitive, and this is definitely in part due to the amazing work of the team at happy days.
We will absolutely be sending any future children here, and cannot recommend it enough.
Contact and communication from the nursery before our son joined in March was excellent and the taster sessions were fantastic in getting our son ready to start full-time.
Our son has now been at the nursery for 6 weeks. Every day he has gone in with a smile on his face and we've been greeted with a smile on our return at the end of the day. He loves it there and he is thriving. We cannot fault any part of his nursery journey - the people; the place; the facilities; the food are all fantastic!
It feels like our son and us are part of a family. We would 100% recommend to others looking for a nurturing nursery.
The team at Happy Days Nursery and Pre-School Salisbury are nothing less than fantastic. For World Haemophilia Day they helped us hold a fundraiser to raise awareness and funds for a charity very close to our hearts. For around 7 months now they have looked after our son who suffers from severe Haemophilia and have joined us as we learn about his disorder. The care and support they have given him has been outstanding as they help us to give him a normal and active life. We know he is in safe and loving hands at Happy Days.
We moved our daughter here in January as we moved house. We couldn't be happier with how she has settled in. She has flourished and really grown in confidence in a short time. Her language and speech are developing really well and it is so good to see her happy at drop-off and pick-up every day. She learns something new every day! The food provided is nutritious and delicious. Our little girl is looked after so well - all the staff show such care and kindness towards her, and we know she is safe and happy every day.
Thank you for your lovely feedback; we really appreciate you taking the time to write a review. We are delighted with the progress your daughter has made with us at Happy Days and are glad the food is enjoyed!
We moved our child from quite frankly a toxic nursery where I was constantly being told how to parent my own child, and I must say, the move was the best decision I have ever made. He is absolutely thriving at the Salisbury Happy Days nursery. All the staff are lovely and incredibly good with the children. He has made some lovely friends and has an absolute ball when he is there. The staff are so wonderful and always put a smile on my face. For the first time, I can honestly say every single person working here goes above and beyond. Every time I pick him up he is always smiling and happy and non-stop chatter then he crashes and falls right asleep. I could not recommend this place more. Thank you for being awesome!
Thank you for your lovely feedback; we really appreciate you taking the time to write a review. We are delighted with the progress your son has made with us at Happy Days. Your kind words will be mentioned to the team, they'll be thrilled to hear!
We moved our child here in March and it's the best decision we made. The staff our absolutely fantastic, always going above and beyond and so welcoming even those not in our child's class. We noticed a huge improvement in his confidence and the team worked really hard to prepare him for primary school with a structured pathway. Our child came to the nursery with an allergy and the staff were nothing but supportive and took the highest level of care and seriousness with his meals and any activities involving food. They went above and beyond to include him at all times which was something we worried about, but need not have. It was also so lovely to see how proud and emotional they were when it came to the graduation ceremony pulling out all the stops to make it a special day for all. We cannot thank them enough for everything they have done for us as a family.
Thank you Ryan for your lovely review about your experience with us - it is greatly appreciated!
The staff is mega caring and attentive. Made us feel very welcome and instantly took any questions and worries away.
Every day has been a treat so far.
Thank you for such a wonderful review Michael - it is massively appreciated! And we agree, the facilities are great!
My little one has been attending for a few months now and we have no complaints.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, your feedback means so much to us.
Am absolutely over the moon with the care, attention and detail to our son's placement there. We moved him there in April and the support and help they have shown him is amazing. The girls there are wonderful, we will be sad when he leaves in September for Primary School, but the head start they've provided him is brilliant. Definitely recommend them to everyone.
Thank you for such a lovely review - your feedback means the world to us and we wish your son nothing but the best as he ventures to school!
The nursery itself is very clean and tidy. There are always plenty of activities on the go for the little ones plus they have the added bonus of a lovely outside area to play in on good weather days.
It’s a 10/10 from me as I feel comfortable dropping off my grandson here.
Before he started the nursery we attended the stay-and-play sessions, this really helped me get an understanding and feel for the nursery and for him to know the staff even better.
We are always impressed with the level of communication from Happy Days - from the initial settling-in sessions all the way to the journey to school programme. Their recent science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) event was a big hit with our son, and he also really enjoys the links built with the nearby care home. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Happy Days!
The staff are incredibly enthusiastic and so helpful. There is a real community and my children absolutely love it there. Their development has come on leaps and bounds and I am so happy I chose Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Salisbury.
Thank you for your feedback, it is greatly appreciated!
Very happy with this nursery so far, my little one loves it and never wants to leave. All staff are lovely and helpful and management are always more than happy to help. After previously having issues with another nursery, it is such a relief to know my child is happy and thriving at this setting.
Thank you for such a lovely review - we are so happy to hear your child enjoys their time with us.
My little one has recently started at Happy days and the care he receives is second to none. My son has a speech delay and the improvement already is mind blowing. The staff are very caring and patient and go the extra mile. My son loves going to nursery and pulls me through the door each morning, I can tell how happy and settled he is there.
Thank you for such a lovely review - we are so proud of your son's achievements!
My son has recently started at Salisbury Happy Days Nursery, and the staff have been amazing. He has settled so well and is so happy there. The staff are all so kind and have put my mind at ease as a parent, and nothing is too much trouble. I love that the children have access to the outside play area all day and that the UV levels are monitored so the children are kept safe. Would really recommend this nursery to anyone!
Thank you for such a lovely review - we are thrilled to hear your son has settled so well!
