My child is quite anxious and doesn't like to be separated from me, Happy Days as a whole has really supported this. His key worker is always greeting us at the door and my son has built such a lovely relationship with her on such a short amount of time that it's been. My son is also quite behind on
his speech and since going Happy Days I have noticed such a big difference.

Happy Days Nursery is brilliant for both of our children (1 and 3). Having many sites gives flexibility around maternity leave and returning to work, and the team has been so accommodating. Our children love it thanks to the caring staff who comfort them when they are upset. They love the variety of
activities and food and my 3 year old can fill the whole journey home telling us what she has done during the day. All round excellent.

Our child absolutely loves it here. The staff are always friendly and keep us updated. They make the environment welcoming, which was extremely beneficial during the arranged settling sessions. Even with being responsible for several children each, they took the time to learn about our child so they
could help them in the most reassuring way possible. Since starting at the nursery, we have noticed vast improvements in our child's speech, interaction and general understanding. Our child is always excited about going to nursery to play with his friends and see the team.

I always felt confident in leaving my child at Happy Days knowing he would be well looked after for the day.
We could not have wished for a better key person or a more caring group of staff. They provided a much-needed routine and structure to our child's day, which has helped him to feel more confident
and secure.
Thank you for building his confidence and preparing him for school.

My youngest child is currently at Happy Days Summercourt, my eldest graduated in August. My eldest was so well supported through his school transition that he has jumped straight in and landed on his feet. All bar one of his class attended Happy Days and his teacher has fed back that she feels incredibly
lucky to have a group of children who came so well prepared.
Happy Days have been very supportive to both my children (and their anxious mum) throughout. They offer excellent care and the kids have developed strong bonds with the staff as well as the friends they have made/are making. I have never questioned that the kids are safe and well cared for while at nursery.

I would recommend any parent who is in the process of choosing a nursery for their child to visit Happy Days Summercourt. You won't be disappointed. The staff are fantastic and very welcoming and it's clear to see that they have excellent attachments with the children. They are always smiling, obviously
they enjoy their work.
The venue has a lovely feel to it. Very light and has plenty of room for children to explore.
The children have the freedom to play indoors or out. Lots of activities for all children.
Highly recommend.

All the staff always go above and beyond to make both the parents and children feel valued and listened to. My little boy has always struggled with going into nursery but the staff understand and go out of their way to scoop him up and make him feel safe and understood.
The nursery feels a homely,
safe place for my child to learn and thrive, I have recommended to lots of friends and my second child will be starting here very soon. I cannot recommend enough and thank all involved for their care and compassion.

Our experience with happy days has been so positive. The girls are just so lovely, and always reassure me at the end of the day that his tears when saying goodbye to me never last long. He is always coming home with paintings/drawings etc. and plays outside rain or shine!
I really relax during the
day that my son is safe, well fed and watered and is in the best hands if there is ever a bump/scratch.

Happy Days is a wonderful nursery! As a first-time mum, I was very apprehensive about leaving my child, but the staff took all my concerns away. He settled in so quickly, and he loves going there now. The activities they do there are so creative each week, and I regularly have updates and pictures of
his progress, which is lovely. He especially loves his Happy Days meals, and as he is a fussy eater, normally it is good to know he enjoys them. A big thank you to all of the amazing staff there; you are all fabulous!

Best nursery ever. My son loves it and all the staff are wonderful. I really feel he thrives there and wouldn’t dream of sending him anywhere else. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for childcare, experienced and friendly staff new and old and I’m really pleased also that the staff turnover is
extremely low so my child has constant consistency and I’m reassured knowing he knows the staff, and the staff know him. He loves going to nursery and as a parent, the process is smooth as I know he is really happy and settled there and so well looked after by the lovely ladies in his room.

Absolutely brilliant nursery. All the staff are friendly and welcoming.
My little one settled so well and the confidence in him has grown so much.
He has developed a fantastic bond with his key person.
Also think the use of the app is so helpful to see how he’s getting on during the day.
Highly
recommend it to any parent.

My little girl started with Happy Days back in April 2023. As a parent it's always a strange time when you get to this stage, in making sure you find the right place but from the moment we went to visit Happy Days we knew we made the right choice. All the staff are so supportive and reassuring as my
little girl settled in. They're so helpful, welcoming, and always make you feel at ease, no matter what question you may have. My little girl settled in well and absolutely loves her keyworker, as well as the other staff and you can see that they love what they do. After each day, the keyworker will explain what they have been doing which really helps us to talk and continue engagement with our little one. They do a range of different activities with them daily, which my little girl enjoys. My little girl also gets such a range of home cooked meals and snacks. Thank you to all the staff.

The best environment for children. The staff have all been a part of my son's journey. He's now an amazing little boy who is looking forward to big school.
They have given him the confidence he needed and have been patient with him when he's found things hard.
Truly amazing.

We have had a fantastic experience with Happy Days.
All the staff are friendly, caring, and really seem to love what they do. Our child settles in quickly and looks forward to seeing the nursery leaders and her friends. She always has a great day and loves the food. It's been really lovely seeing her
form relationships. She will miss her friends and all the staff. We would recommend Happy Days to anyone.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.902)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.902) out of 10 for Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Summercourt is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.902 for Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Summercourt is calculated as follows: ( (260 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 287 Ratings = 4.902

  • b) 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 & Preschool - Summercourt is based on 24 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 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 90 number of registered child places is 18, which has been reached with 24 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
