We registered for the settling in sessions. They said no sessions can be booked without paying the refundable deposit.
It is mentioned in their contract (that I signed) that the settling in sessions are free. After sending my daughter for 3 one-hour long settling in sessions, I realised the nursery
wasn't what I wanted for my daughter. We didn't go ahead with the place.
They never returned the deposit. They have denied the same. Why did I not want this nursery?
I visited them 4 times in total, show around and then 3 settling in sessions, I wasn't introduced to any of the staff members, except for the one who showed us around. I asked about the key worker who would work with my child, I was never introduced to them. There was no learning schedule discussed, no information about the development updates and/or observations about the child. My child wasn't even addressed by her name for the first settling in session. On the second day, they asked me what's she called. Weird!

Reply from Isabelle Qamar, Owner at Happy Days Day Nursery

I'm really sorry you felt the nursery was not for your daughter. We talked to you every day and we would have welcomed feedback at the time of settling in, so we could have put your mind at ease if you had any worries. As per your contract, the deposit is required to book your child in our nursery after their initial visit. This is deducted from your 1st monthly fees. Your child was booked for the week and unfortunately you changed your mind on the day she was supposed to start. This means that I had already allocated staff for her attendance for the week, even though you did not pay the 1st week fees. Staff are introduced as part of the routine and they feedback daily. We use an app which records daily activities for children such as food intake, nappy/toilet, sleep and the learning activities of the day. Depending on consent, some activities are also shared on social media. We discussed with you home learning, support with toilet training and readiness for school.

Current Review Score: 1.6 (1.600)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 1.6 (1.600) out of 10 for Happy Days Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 1.6 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 0.0 out of 5 from 0 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 1.600 for Happy Days Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 10 Ratings = 1.6

  • 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 0 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Happy Days Day Nursery is based on 0 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) =

    • 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 26 number of registered child places is 5.2. 0 Positive Reviews ÷ 5.2 = 0

  • 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.
