Review from B D (Mother of Child) published on 3 March 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been coming here now since they first opened. He loves it there, the staff are amazing and so friendly and they make him feel so welcome every time he comes. He loves that he can play outside every day, they have lots of activities for the kids to do (painting, colouring, sand pit, books,
toys) and I am so thankful for the staff in my son's room. They have been patient with him since he arrived and within the five weeks he's been there he is now out of nappies which is amazing! They have four different rooms that are suitable for different ages kids as well.
So glad I got the chance to let my son come here, he has gained friends, confidence and his speech is becoming better each day.

Review from Sophie B (Mother of Child) published on 3 March 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Such a wonderful nursery! The staff go above and beyond to make the nursery a home from home for both the parents and the children and really make an effort to get to know the children individually. It very much has a family, close community feel about it. My little girl has been attending for a couple
of weeks now and we could not be happier with the nursery so far! She is so happy being dropped off in the morning, her little face lights up when she sees the staff which is such a lovely feeling for us as parents. The staff really are exceptional, it's very clear how much they care for the children, they're a credit to the nursery! They're attentive, quick to respond and provide a thorough update of my daughter's day upon collection, so I feel very safe in the knowledge that she is happy and receiving the highest standard of care. The food is second to none, my daughter eats better than us all! I can't recommend Happy Days highly enough!

Review from K S (Mother of Child) published on 3 March 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending since December 2022 he officially started in January 2023. From the moment we entered he was happy, not like he had been visiting other places. The staff were so friendly and made him feel comfortable from then on I knew this was the place he was meant to go to. The setting
is beautiful everything is made from wood from substantial sources It's kept very clean. The staff as I've said are so friendly but they have made my son feel so comfortable he has attached himself to his key workers which makes me feel comfortable leaving him knowing that he feels safe with them. There are lots of toys which are aimed at different learning skills and each room is laid out the same so as they progress in their age and learning everything about the room stays the same. They have a sleeping area for them and an outside space which again is lovely. Parking is great and access is great too and they have a chef who cooks great fresh food.

Review from B G (Father of Child) published on 20 January 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little girl has been attending for two weeks now since the nursery opened and it feels like she has been there for months.
The care and support the whole staff team have given during the settlement process and these early days is exceptional.
At a previous nursery we had battles to get her to leave
us and go to staff members but here she is skipping through the door each morning and doesn't look back.
When she arrives home there is so much she has to tell us about her day, it's clear to see she absolutely loves her time at nursery and has developed good secure relationships with all the staff.
Food is fantastic, all freshly cooked onsite and goes down well.
Even with the rubbish weather lately she has been able to play outside, the staff's enthusiasm and excellent outdoor space is what allows this to still happen.
We genuinely can not recommend the nursery enough, if any doubts just book a tour and see for yourself.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.946)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.946) out of 10 for Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Salisbury is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 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 26 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 4.946 for Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Salisbury is calculated as follows: ( (295 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 312 Ratings = 4.946
  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 - Salisbury is based on 26 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 81 number of registered child places is 16.2, which has been reached with 26 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.
