We love Happy Days Too, it's a great nursery that my son loves going to and my daughter is just about to start at. The staff are all extremely friendly and caring, they really take an interest in each child. The facilities are great with so many toys and activities to keep my son happy all day. We love
how much they get out in the garden even in the winter months. Would highly recommend!

This is a fantastic nursery. Staff really care about the children as individuals. They have great outdoor space which my daughter loves. They also do a lot of messy play which she loves and I am happy to be done at nursery. Would recommend this nursery to any parent.

We have been very happy with the nursery over the years. Our wee boy has been attending for over 3 years and has made some lovely wee friends there. He also talks fondly of the staff and very much enjoys the meals which are made on site!
There has rarely been a time when he doesn't go skipping in to
the nursery in the mornings and we are very confident about the staff.
We would happily recommend the nursery to anyone who is thinking about sending their child there.

My Daughter has been attending Happy Days Too Private Nursery for the past year, starting in the baby room and recently moving into the toddler room. From day one, I've been so impressed with the care, activities, and overall environment.
In the baby room, she had an amazing time with such a wide variety
of activities, painting, playing with pasta, themed book days, music, and songs. The staff always made sure she was engaged and happy.
Now that she's in the toddler room, we can already see how much there is for her to explore. The range of toys and activities is fantastic, and she absolutely loves it! It's clear the team put so much thought into creating a fun and stimulating space for the children.
The staff have been wonderful throughout caring, friendly, and attentive. It's reassuring to know she's in such great hands. I couldn't be happier with our experience at Happy Days Too and would highly recommend it to any parents looking for a nurturing and engaging place for their little ones.

Happy Days Too Private Nursery continues to be a wonderful nursery. The staff are fantastic and my son absolutely loves his days at the nursery - he gets excited when he sees his bag! Since he started last summer, his language, dexterity, and social skills have all developed.

Our daughter has been attending Happy Days Too Private Nursery since she was 18 months old. She is now 3 and enjoys every second of it. I can confidently say that the teachers in both the 0-2 and 2-3 classes are kind, professional, and patient, always attentive to the children's needs. Every day brings
something new and exciting for the children to learn and enjoy, and they also spend a good amount of time outside. I highly recommend this nursery - my second child will be attending soon as well.

My son has been with Happy Days Too Private for over a year now and has recently moved to a new room. Prior to him attending, my nephews were also at Happy Days. As a family, we have nothing but positive things to say about the nursery. It's staff in all the rooms we have experience of are dedicated,
friendly and professional. The team have very high standards when it comes to hygiene and my son is always clean with frequent nappy changes or clothes changes when needed. The rooms are clean and well maintained with a wide variety of well planned activities which follow the interests of the children. I have always found communication to be excellent and am impressed by how well the staff know my son. He loves his nursery and has grown close bonds with his carers there but they have also instilled confidence in him, allowing him to transition into his new room with ease. I would highly recommend Happy Days Too.

Another excellent month for my child, his counting and word recognition has really come along of late as has his ability to create his own little world's and storylines for his independent play games.
His drawing has also come along a lot too, a lot of this is testament to the encouragement and fun
he has at nursery with his teachers.

I feel very comfortable driving away in the morning knowing that my child is happy, safe, nurtured and loved whilst I am at work. The impact the nursery has on their learning is palpable. The nursery communicates very effectively with parents about your child's progress and daily routines.

I went to Happy Days Too Private Nursery 30 years ago and so did all my siblings! It was brilliant then and it's brilliant now!
My 2 children currently go and have both been going since they were babies. Every room they have been in has been amazing. The nursery facilities are great and the activities
they do with the children are so engaging and fun. Communication is excellent with parents but the main reason for the nursery being as good as it is, is the staff. They really are all amazing, all have such genuine care for the kids and they go above and beyond to make sure the children are happy and settled! I couldn't recommend Happy Days Too more!

We've had an excellent experience with Happy Days Too Private over the last 1 and a half years. Staff couldn't be more supportive of our child and like another Mum for her- she loves going and it is lovely to see the relationships that she has built with the staff. She gets a wide range of experiences
that are age/stage appropriate and lots of outdoor play which was important to me when selecting a nursery. We have no worries about our son starting in August too. Management/reception team are great too and are very organised.

My daughter has been at happy days too since 2022, and now my son goes as well. Both have milk allergies, and I can't fault how well they have been managed by the setting. Staff always go out their way to ensure inclusion and this is so appreciated. The level of attention to detail and care provided
overall has been outstanding.

Both of our daughters have had a great experience in nursery, our youngest recently moved up to 3-5 room which has been an easy transition for her supported by the teams in both rooms. The staff across the age groups make up lots of fun activities as well as providing a nurturing environment. The outdoor
space is also a great asset to the nursery.

Both my children have gone to Happy Days Too Private Nursery and I cannot recommend the place highly enough. We moved to the area from a different city when our children were aged 2 and 4. The staff were really helpful in accommodating the hours we needed for each child. We were delighted at how quickly
the children settled in their new nursery after a big move!
The staff always really friendly and keep us well informed. The children are always happy at home time and it has been great to see them develop and experience a variety of activities at nursery. Thank you to all the staff!

We have two kids at the nursery, they both absolutely love it! All the staff are so kind and caring and really take an interest in the kids. The choice of food they get is great, and the range of activities that they have organised is incredible. We love that they try and get them outside as much as
possible too.
Both our children have built up great friendships with other children as well, we would absolutely recommend to friends!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.921)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.921) out of 10 for Happy Days Too Private Nursery 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 57 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 57 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 4.921 for Happy Days Too Private Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (628 Excellents x 5) + (50 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 680 Ratings = 4.921

  • 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 Too Private Nursery is based on 57 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 176 number of registered child places is 35.2, which has been reached with 57 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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager

Joined: 2015

Hello.


My name is Lorraine and I am Nursery Manager at Happy Days Too.


I have 23 years experience in the early years sector and feel privileged to have played a special part in the lives of so many children and families over the years.


Since entering the profession, I have gained various early years qualifications including a BA Childhood Practice at Glasgow University. I have had great success managing excellent early years settings which have been commended by Care Inspectorate, local authorities and others in the sector.


I am passionate about providing a high quality service for children and families and understand the importance that early years experiences have on a child's future outcomes. Being a parent of two young children, I fully understand the significance of choosing an early years setting and strive to meet parents expectations through partnership working.


Ensuring that every child feels safe, secure and loved in the setting is key, in order to support children to meet their full potential. Positive relationships are at the heart of our practice to allow us to build trusting relationships with both children and parents.


I look forward to meeting you when you visit the nursery and hopefully join the Happy Days Too family.
