The staff are what make the preschool so friendly, kind and welcoming. Nothing is too much trouble, and they are so good with the children. You can tell by how much the children adore them. Great selection of food and snacks for the children, with a different menu every week. Great preschool and would highly recommend.

Our son absolutely adores his school - it truly feels like his second home now! From the moment we first visited, we were blown away by the warm, nurturing environment and the genuine care that radiates from every member of staff. The teachers and support team are simply incredible: patient, enthusiastic, creative, and always going the extra mile to make sure every child feels valued, supported and excited to learn. The communication from the school is fantastic too - regular updates, photos through the app. Quite simply, we couldn't be happier with our choice. If you're looking for a setting where your child will be truly cherished, encouraged to flourish and come home with a massive smile every single day, this is the place. We recommend it with all our hearts - 10/10!

My son and daughter have both been through Preschool when it was Tiddlers and now Happy Days. The Preschool team both present and past have been fantastic. Both children have thrived in Preschool making solid friendships and have been fully prepared starting school. We would specifically call out the key workers for helping us move through key development stages and always having enough time to talk about the children's day at pick up time and Katie for always accommodating any changes we required and helping us out when we needed adhoc childcare due to work commitments.

The staff are absolutely amazing, and my son loves coming to preschool. He always has a great day filled with different activities. I especially love that he is often taken out of the preschool to explore the park and area.

My son started at Saltford Preschool back in September and has really enjoyed the setting. He loves it that much, that he wants to walk in all by himself. The whole team are super helpful and friendly.

We absolutely love Happy Days in Saltford. The teachers are caring, patient, and truly dedicated to each child's growth. The classrooms are clean, bright and full of engaging activities. Communication with parents is excellent and we always feel informed and included. Highly recommend the preschool to any family looking for a warm, nurturing environment!

Shoutout to the amazing staff - Sophie, Rebecca, Rebekah, Lily, Katie, Rossella. My girls are so happy going to pre school and I can't thank you enough. The care provided is excellent and having them from 6m to 5 years old now is testament to you guys!

We love sending our son to Happy Days. The staff are so caring and friendly and supportive, and they put a lot of effort into his learning and development and preparing him for big school. He has a lovely relationship with his key worker, which helps his confidence. It's such a warm and welcoming environment.

My daughter has recently started here and I can't believe how well she has settled in. It is such a lovely, welcoming setting. Everyone who works there is so friendly and my daughter really loves pre-school. It's a fairly small space but they really make the most of it and there are lots of opportunities for the children daily.

Fantastic setting with kind nurturing staff. Both of my children have attended the nursery and pre-school settings. Both settled in well and have made some lovely connections with the staff and other children. My daughter had a smooth transition into the local school and still uses the wrap around care after school. My son enjoys the range of activities that pre-school provide and has busy days playing and learning. He has been supported in gaining some new found independence and learning new skills. The staff are incredible! Helpful, kind and brilliant at their jobs! I would highly recommend.

The Saltford pre-school has been amazing for our son. He attended the linked nursery from the age of one and when he turned three he went up to the pre-school. The staff are wonderful and obviously really care for the kids. They focus on the important stuff - spending time with the kids, learning through play, and setting up interesting and varied activities. Our youngest is now at the nursery setting and it's so lovely that the staff looking after her are mostly the same as those who looked after our son three years ago. There is a real sense of the children being part of a community, and the links to the primary school are also really handy.

Happy Days Preschool is a really lovely setting. The staff are all very approachable, kind and honest. There's always plenty of toys and activities for the children to be getting on with. They also have access to the park which is great in the summer. Particularly like the new app so we can keep updated with our little ones day.

Our son moved from Happy Days Nursery to Happy Days Preschool this September. As parents we were anxious about the change. From his 1st session all our anxiety had disappeared. What a wonderful preschool. The level of communication from the adults to the parents is great but more importantly the instant reassurance to the children is second to none. Our son is smiling, chatty and eager to go again at every collection. Happy child=Happy parents.

We moved our child to Happy Days Preschool at the beginning of September, he was quite shy starting a new preschool but the staff very quickly made him feel welcome and he settled in nicely. All the staff are friendly and really engaged in the wellbeing of our child and ensuring he is happy while he is there, they got to know what he likes very quickly to help him feel more comfortable. They are very good at giving a thorough handover at the end of the day and giving you essential information about what's happened in the day and also communicating some funny/happy occurrences that have happened. We have been very impressed with all the staff and how they go above and beyond to ensure our child is happy, having fun and learning. We are so glad that we moved him to this preschool as we have already seen him gaining more independence and skills within the last 4 weeks he has been there.

We've had a wonderful experience with Happy Days (previously Tiddlers). The staff are incredibly helpful and genuinely caring, which has made a big difference in helping our son feel safe, settled and happy. It's clear that the team takes the time to get to know each child and support them individually. Happy Days makes good use of the park next door, giving the children regular opportunities for outdoor play and exploration. The indoor learning areas are thoughtfully developed and engaging, encouraging curiosity and creativity. We're also really pleased with the variety and quality of meals provided - it's great to know our son is being exposed to nutritious food every day. Overall, we feel confident and grateful knowing our child is in such a positive, nurturing environment.

This is my third child to attend the nursery and I would never choose anywhere else. The staff have remained consistent and have a fantastic relationship with my children. They always come home glowing and happy from their day at nursery and the transition from pre school to school has been a breeze thanks to the staff. If I had anymore children, I would send them 100 times over if I could. Thank you for being amazing!

Happy days Pre School previously known as Tiddlers Pre School have been so fantastic over the last year and a half. The staff are always so energetic, friendly, kind, compassionate and welcoming. Our daughter absolutely adores going to Pre School & frequently talks about the staff at home. She always comes out happy and always talks very positively about her day and what she has done. One teacher is very well known for her wonderful cuddles and another for her excellent butterfly drawings! Another member of staff also has a soft spot in my daughter's heart for talking about her dog biscuit. And a big shout out to 4 other members of staff in particular, my daughter speaks about you all very fondly too. I cannot thank the girls at the nursery enough you are all wonderful. My son is very much looking forward to coming up to the Pre School once he is old enough and I know that he will settle with you lovely ladies, just as well as my daugher did. Thank you again.

I have had 2 children cared for by Happy Days Nursery in Saltford (previously Tiddlers) over the past 5 years. My experience has always been positive particularly in respect of the friendly and caring people that work there giving me confidence that my children are happy and well cared for. There are always varied activities, lots of outdoor play and appetizing food which they have always enjoyed. With the recent acquisition by Happy Days it is clear that some investment is being made in resources and the outdoor space which will continue to improve the already positive environment.

Happy Days (Tiddlers) have cared for both of my children and the staff are absolutely wonderful. They give me an update each time I collect and have supported us with my child's speech delay more than I could ask for. My youngest also attended the nursery & they were incredibly supportive and understanding when she transferred from another nursery. When my oldest moved into school, the transition was simple with the support we got from happy days. The change from Tiddlers to Happy days has seemed very corporate, going from a local nursery to a chain but no major changes. We are hoping no further changes as it was wonderful as it was. I would give it 10 stars for care if I could as the pre school & nursery staff are just fantastic. My small and only negative comment would be that we have had dirty (soiled) underwear mixed in with clean clothes (when it would usually be bagged) but when we raised this, it was addressed.

My son is extremely happy here, the staff are so lovely, I know my child is in safe hands - the most important thing to me. Learning: I get verbal feedback on behaviour, I presume they follow a curriculum? I never hear what my child has done each day. I would like more of that and how he's developing. Care: amazing, although can come home with a dirty bottom. So would like more focus on supporting cleanliness with no 2's. Staff: 10/10. Management: 10/10 although since the take over, hardly any updates or photos on what my child has been doing each day, would like that to improve and be more frequent on the app. Facilities/resources: it's great that happy days are updating and improving the site and equipment as was much needed. Activities: would like more updates, as have no idea. Also advocate taking them out of the site daily as space is small, utilising the parish park next door makes you competitive with Snap dragons (chuckles and staff - amazing! So happy here)
