Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Verwood

They take the time to get to know each child individually, understanding their needs and supporting their development in a way that suits them best.

My children love the nursery it has a calming vibe and they are super good with the children they understand their needs and keep me well informed with how they are doing throughout the day as well as their development.

After initially being aprehensive about my son starting nursery, I did my reaserch of the local area and found Happy Days Nursery the best fit. We completed a viewing where my son was immediately comfortable. The generouse amount of settle sessions prior to starting made the adjustment seemless. My son started feeling confident & secure in his surroundings & bonded with the staff quickly. The team are warm & calme, creating a beautiful atmosphere. The app gives me updates following each session but the handover on pick up is always so detailed I never need to wonder what my son got upto in the day. My son is always excited to go to nursery and I can see how content he is in his surroundings. We love HDN so much we have booked in for more sessions - so glad we found this wonderful nursery

Our boy started at this nursery one year ago at the age of one. We are really happy with this nursery. The setting is amazing and the staff goes above and beyond to make each child welcome, developing and well looked after. Thank you Happy Days team, your good work means so much to us.

Will definitely be sending our second child here.

I am blown away by the effort and organisation Happy Days has put in place to really make sure my child settles, they have gone at my child's pace, they have got to know family relations and my child's interests to incorporate into his settling (including making a photo wall of family for him to have at nursery). Everyone is so attentive, friendly and child orientated! This is the best nursery we have experienced by far and we're so excited to see our child progress to school age with Happy Days thanks to their lovely team!

Every member of staff at Happy Days Verwood are exceptional. They are friendly, welcoming and patient. Above all, they clearly care about the children that they are looking after and ask us about their needs, how they are or anything else that might impact their day. My child found starting nursery tricky and was emotional, but the staff were so patient and willing to try more settling sessions to make sure that they were comfortable. Cannot recommend them highly enough.

I would highly recommend happy days nursery to all as it is a fantastic environment our little one.

Highly recommend! 5 stars!

From day one my 1 year old was made to feel safe and comfortable. The staff are always attentive to her wants and needs and I feel they really listen to any changes or things they may need to know. The food they serve is very varied and healthy which is reassuring. The activities feel both fun and educational and I love hearing about my child's day. I have already recommended someone there and always do to anyone looking in the area.

Overall I'm super pleased with the care provided and my daughter is thriving so she obviously agrees!

In a nutshell I'm so glad I moved my daughter and these guys really amazing!

Very welcoming nursery, all the staff are so lovely which has made me feel really happy about leaving my little one, they offer plenty of settle sessions which puts your mind at rest, so happy I chose Happy Days. Would highly recommended to other parents.

My daughter started at Happy Days Verwood in September 2024 but we attended some of the free play sessions the staff hosted earlier in the year. This really helped my daughter when starting as she already knew some friendly faces. In addition to this, the amount of settling in sessions offered were invaluable and really helped reassure me that she would be happy there. The staff are always welcoming, helpful and attentive. I love that the nursery is new, fresh and open for the children to be able to play with a variety of toys and take part in different activities throughout the day, both inside and out.

They have not only helped her with her education but also development of her social skills and how to articulate how she is feeling.

My little girl has been at Happy Days since August 2024. They are so attentive to her, she always is very happy on pick up and drop off which is a huge change from her previous nursery. The staff really have taken time to get to know her as a child and are genuinely caring. They are supporting her in getting ready for school in September and they do loads of fun and educational activities.

Really pleased with our daughter's new nursery. Everybody is very caring and she always has a great time playing with her friends there! The facilities are great with lots of indoor and outdoor space to use.

Great nursery for our child to learn and develop, with friendly approachable staff. He really enjoys his time there, it's the perfect environment for him to grow. We wouldn't mind the app to be updated as and when activities happen as we seem to get some updated after we've collected him or a day or two after. Highly recommend this nursery.

My child started Happy Days in July 2024 with a month of settling in sessions. This was our first experience of a nursery and my child struggled with separation from me. The team worked really hard with her to make her feel comfortable and happy. I would often leave her in tears but the staff would always let me know that when I had left she was happy and had a fab time. After only a few weeks my child is now happy and settled enough to now leave me without even saying goodbye. This is down to the amazing staff who put 100% into supporting families feel at home there. I am amazed at the progress my child has made in such a short time and look forward to what is to come in the future.

My son is loving coming to the 'blue' nursery as he calls it! At his previous setting, he would sometimes get upset about going in, he has been at Happy Day's now for 2 months and every day he is skipping in excited for his activities for the day. All of the staff are not only professional but also warm and friendly - it very much feels like a family environment. My son knows all the staff by name and every one of them knows him which is really reassuring. The activities they do each day seem really well thought through and enriching and supporting his development day on day! I would happily recommend Happy Days in Verwood to any parent!
