This is my first experience with a nursery setting (first baby) and I'm so happy with it! The ladies at Happy Days Verwood have made not only my daughter's transition to nursery really smooth but they've also made my transition back to work smooth & worry free, as I can drop my little one there and
know she is in safe, capable hands whilst I go about my busy working day. Everyone who works at Happy Days is compassionate, warm & welcoming including the chef! The range of activities and learning they provide is brilliant. They have a lovely garden area that they really utilise. The different foods/meals offered are fab. They've been a great support with weaning too! The nursery is always clean. They update you throughout the day in regards to meals, nappy changes & my favourite updates - snapshots & moments, where they upload pictures of your child taking part in different tasks.
Overall I'm super pleased with the care provided and my daughter is thriving so she obviously agrees!

The best nursery my daughter has attended! Since my child has been there she has started to thrive. The staff are great at picking things up in terms of developmental issues. They are equally as quick to action any changes/referrals. You can really tell that they are there for their love of kids and
not just for a paycheck. I'm so unbelievably grateful for the care they show my daughter as well as her sibling (who doesn't even attend the setting - he just comes for drop offs and pick ups). The atmosphere is lovely and they do some really cool things and get external people in to help with the bigger kids understanding of the real world.
In a nutshell I'm so glad I moved my daughter and these guys really amazing!

Since my little one started at Happy Days Nursery & Pre-school - Poole in August 2024, he's absolutely loved it! The staff are incredible - always welcoming, friendly, and so kind. After our very first visit, we attended a settling-in session, and as soon as we walked in, the staff greeted us with a
cheerful good morning and immediately knew my son's name. It was such a thoughtful touch, especially since he'd only been there for an initial visit before that.
The environment at Happy Days is truly comforting. My son's face lights up every day when he walks in, and it's clear he's particularly fond of his key workers, who always make him feel special.
I am beyond pleased with our choice of Happy Days for his nursery. He's learning so much, and the fact that he's so happy and well cared for while I'm at work gives me complete peace of mind.

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.

All the staff are very friendly and helpful. Always give a detailed account of my daughter's day (activities, friends made and food eaten). My daughter is always excited about going and is always welcomed with opened arms.
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.

My child has been attending Happy Days for 3 years now. He always comes out with a smile on his face and enjoys his time there. As a teacher myself, have been really impressed with all the learning opportunities they have provided for my child and feel the nursery have helped further his growth and
development. The staff are all so friendly and welcoming as well. I always leave my child feeling confident he is being well cared for and have recommended the nursery to many other people.

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!

Happy Days is a fantastic nursery, my little one has such an amazing time there, and seeing the updates on the app of all the fun things she's been up to that day put my mind at ease of being away from her. Happy Days were incredibly supportive in those first few weeks of my going back to work and my
child to nursery, and I couldn't have made the move back to work without them. They have excellent facilities and an impressive outdoor space. The staff are all friendly and kind. The food they offer for little ones is brilliant and really encourages little ones to try lots of new food and textures. Brilliant nursery

Happy Days staff have been friendly, approachable and helpful during the whole time since we first had contact with them last year. The settling-in process was flexible and they offered as many sessions as required to ensure our child felt happy and confident. The updates on the app are a great peace
of mind and really appreciated. Their caring nature makes it easy to drop off our child with the confidence that they will have a great day.

Our children are really enjoying this lovely nursery. The staff have been so friendly, caring and helpful. Our daughter went from feeling so negative about her previous nursery to actually looking forward to going to Happy Days and coming home having had a great time. The outdoor space is brilliant
and I feel they do activities with the children to keep them engaged. The settling-in sessions helped our children so much and we thank you for your support through this. We would really recommended Happy Days.

We have had a great experience with Happy Days. We always get a warm welcome and the atmosphere is relaxed and happy whilst caring and ensuring each child's needs are met. The nursery is bright, clean and spacious, perfect for little ones to explore and most importantly safe.
The outside space is fantastic
and is used a lot, a real benefit to this nursery.

My son has had a wonderful time at Happy Days. He has been well supported and loved by the adults who have looked after him.
His favourite thing by has been hanging out in the wild garden picking flowers in the shade.
