Review from Lauren T (Mother of Child) published on 20 October 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My experience with Charlton Height has been exceptionally positive. The staff consistently go above and beyond-not only in supporting the children, but also their families. My son leaves preschool each day with a bright smile, which is a true reflection of the care and attention he receives. I have complete confidence knowing he is safe, happy, and well looked after. The team keeps parents regularly informed through photos and updates about the wonderful themed activities they plan each week. The staff are professional, kind, and welcoming, creating a warm and nurturing environment. I would rate Charlton Height 10 out of 10 and wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent.

Overall Experience

Very friendly team from the start. Communication was great. Settling sessions arranged and carried out with great communication and ease. My child has settled very well. Staff are always friendly and take the time to explain how her day has been and what she's been doing. Nursery is very clean tidy and well organised.

Overall Experience

We are very happy with Happy Days Nursery, the team is really down to earth, friendly and whenever we request something they working together with us.

We love the security level of this place, children cannot run out from the building, no-one can come in to unless the staff lets you in, the floor levels are even which is not every nursery have, that's definitely safer for our little one too.
Also always tidy on the corridors, no boxes around etc.

Highly recommend!

The staff are seem to be kind, knowledgeable and really take interest into the care of our infant. She had trouble settling and after a month of illness had to resettle. Now, she has fully immersed herself in nursery routine and enjoying every minute of it. This is down to the care of the nursery staff and key workers :)

Overall Experience

My daughter goes to Happy Days Charlton Heights and thrives there. They always theme and change up each days activities, while encouraging lots of sensory play. They spend lots of time outside and have a beautiful sounding menu which I look forward to reading each day when I do the drop off. The staff are incredibly amazing and the best thing about Happy Days - special shout out to one member of staff in particular!! At Drop offs and pick ups we are aways treated like the only ones there and get a great handover, meaning I get to really understand what my child's been up to for the day. The staff genuinely care and that's what really puts me at ease. The facilities are great , everything is fantastically clean and the staff get lots of different training. Kudos to the management here as it comes down to them!!

Overall Experience

Happy days staff are so warm and welcoming, they go out of their way to make sure that your child feels cared for the moment they step through the door. My little girl loves going to nursery she has made so many friends and talks about all of the educators by name, I love that you can have access to your own online portal to see what they have been up to that day, the staff are excellent at updating what they've eaten etc. and I recieve lots of photos of the activities and fun she's had. I'm amazed at how much my daughters confidence has grown since being at this nursery from September, her speech and listening has improved significantly and she sings the songs she's learned from nursery at home, its great for her to be able to communicate to me about her day. She really enjoys playing outside and the outdoor facilities seem great to run around freely. I'm impressed with how varied and healthy the meals are, it's encouraged us as a family to try new foods. This nursery is exceptional.

Review from Paige B (Mother of Child) published on 26 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

From the Initial contact and visit to the Nursery, myself and my husband loved Charlton Heights Happy Days Nursery and wanted our son to attend following my return to work. The Manager was friendly, knowledgable, and honest about what to expect from the nursery.

We attended an Open Day. The enthusiasm, friendliness and approachability of the team reinforced that we had made the right decision to choose Charlton Heights Happy Days. We chose Charlton Heights over other local Happy Days nurseries due to the welcoming and warming environment.

Our son (10 months old) started his settle in sessions around a month prior to my return to work. The team have been absolutely fantastic throughout this process. They have demonstrated child centred focus and care in numerous ways. His key worker has been amazing. She really has gone the extra mile to ease my son into attending nursery. She has been reassuring, kind and compassionate throughout every interaction, so thank you and the whole team.

My daughter has attended Charlton Heights since she was 1 years old.
What a great choice we made
The staff is the baby room are all amazing, they are always smiling and happy to see my daughter when she comes into the room.
she has such a great bond with her keys workers and all the other staff members in the room.
The activity they do everyday with the children is always different and you can see the children love it.

Could have asked for a better nursery for my children.

Review from G B (Mother of Child) published on 17 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I was super nervous about my boy starting a nursery, he is our first baby and we didn't know much about the process. After reading some positive reviews here and our neighbour hood group, we decided to sign up with Happy Days and I am so glad we did!
First few weeks were tough (specially for me) but I knew what to expect, because they have explained me the process and supported me along the way. I can't thank them enough for being so supportive and kind, our boy started to feel more comfortable within 2-3 weeks time and has been enjoying his time there ever since. They are always so happy to see my boy and he is excited to see them too!
I love reading their updates and snapshots. It's great to know that my boy is having a fantastic time there.

Highly recommended.

My child has recently joined Happy Days Charlton Heights, as we have moved into this area.
The staff answered all of my questions and worries as my child didn't enjoy going to her old nursery.
The way the staff have been amazing with my daughter from the start.
She loves going and talks about the lovely things they have done when she is there.

Everyone is so welcoming, I have recommended to all my family and friends of how wonderful this nursery and its staff are.

Overall Experience
My son has attended Happy Days Charlton Heights since he turned 10 months old and we couldn't be happier with our choice. The members of staff in the Baby Room are all excited to see him in the morning and the bond he has developed with his key worker is genuinely magical.
We are beyond happy with Happy Days, having had some previous mixed experiences with our older children in other childcare settings.
We specifically love the amount of care that goes in to setting up activities for the day that push the children's development whilst relating to things they know and enjoy.

However far and away the best thing about this nursery is the staff, how they know and care for all of the children in the setting and how they are consistently thinking of me things to do and being trained in new areas. We also love the cooking they do at the nursery and the links with the local care home.

A bright, clean, highly functional nursery; with staff that genuinely care about the children and parents. It has bedded in very well into the relatively new Charlton Hayes community. The management is exemplary - highly qualified, caring and competent.

Review from Rutendo M (Mother of Child) published on 3 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have been nothing short of impressed with Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Charlton Heights, Bristol. We were really worried about our very clingy 10-month-old settling into nursery. The staff at Charlton Heights have been really lovely and we are always greeted with a warm smile when we walk in. They are extremely reassuring. The Nursery itself is very clean and you can tell they have put a lot of thought into the development of our babies. I'm very confident my son is in safe hands every time I leave him and when I pick him up. I especially love the detailed updates of what he is up to, and what he is struggling with. From a diversity point of view, they have been absolutely fantastic. I never feel like my son is treated any differently. The girls have done an amazing job with him. Would highly highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

Overall Experience

I'm thrilled with the experience my daughter has at Happy Days Nursery. She attends twice a week, and I couldn't be happier with the care and attention she receives. From the moment we first visited, the environment felt welcoming, safe, and nurturing. The staff are highly professional and genuinely care for each child, fostering a warm atmosphere that makes my child excited to attend. I've seen her thrive in activities such as music, arts, and physical play, all tailored to her developmental needs. The nursery's approach to early learning is structured yet flexible, creating an enriching environment. Communication with parents is excellent, and I receive regular updates about progress. I'm also impressed by the cleanliness and organization of the facility. Overall, I highly recommend Happy Day Nursery to any parent looking for a safe, stimulating, and supportive environment for their child. It's been wonderful to see my child grow here.

Our experience with Happy Days has always been such a good one. We've had 2 children attend Happy Days, one still being there. The care my child receives on his allocated days is just phenomenal. The staff are so kind, caring and genuine and always want what's best for each child. They are always keeping us parents up to date with what our child gets up to in the duration of their stay and always hand over every last bit of detail. Cannot recommend happy days enough.
