My daughter has attended Happy Days for the last 3 years and loves it there. I can't compliment the staff highly enough, they work so hard to help my daughter be secure and confident. It gives me peace of mind to know that she is somewhere safe, where she is happy and enjoying a range of activities.

I had my daughter at Happy Days and they helped so much with her confidence and were a big part of the beautiful girl she is now. They supported her emotionally through a very sensitive time and was a happy safe space. Now I have my little bot there, my wild child, and in just a few short weeks he has
settled really well, built up lovely relationships with the staff and has become a kind, happy boy who is excited to go to nursery. Both my children had speech delays and the nursery has really helped grow their vocabulary. I wouldn't have my children at any other nursery. They are all simply amazing.

Reply from Rebekah Fice-Thomson, Marketing Manager at Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Bradley Stoke

Thank you for your lovely review! We're so glad to hear how both your children have flourished with us, from supporting your daughter through a sensitive time to helping your son settle and grow. It's wonderful to know we've contributed to their development, especially with their speech. Your kind words mean a lot, and we're honoured to be part of their journey!

We feel very privileged to have our son looked after by the incredible staff at this nursery. Since his first settle in session (which were robust and a great way to ease both him and us into the new routine!), his key worker and other staff in the room have been attentive and kind. They have worked
hard to get to know our boy and have supported him in becoming more confident and curious about the world around him.

I cannot thank Happy Days Bradley Stoke enough. The confidence that my daughter has gained since coming to the Nursery is a joy to see. She goes into Nursery with a smile on her face each morning (despite the early start!) and more importantly, comes out beaming at the end of each day, excited to tell
us all about the amazing day she has had. The staff are outstanding and have made us all feel so welcome and part of the Happy Days Family. I really could not ask for anything more. The fact that all of the staff, not only those who are in her room, know who my daughter is, tells you everything you need to know about how much everyone there puts in to being there, and everyone seems to genuinely enjoy what they do. Thank you for everything!

Our child has been attending Happy Days Bradley Stoke for the last year and absolutely loves it and so do we! The staff are warm, welcoming and brilliant at developing those within their care. Our little one comes back happily exhausted every day having learnt new songs, dances and experiences. The
activities laid out for the children are varied and impactful, recently they all did a brilliant science experiment with foam going everywhere. We've seen huge leaps in our child's development since she started here, genuinely surprising us with all the things she's learnt each day. We get regular updates throughout the day on the easy-to-use app with videos and pictures and have a great relationship with her Key Worker. We have already recommended Happy Days Bradley Stoke to friends and would have no issues or concerns recommending again. Great team, great place, thank you all so much.

Happy Days are the most amazing nursery. Both my son and daughter go there and I couldn't have picked a better nursery for them. They go in so happy and excited for their day. The whole team are absolutely amazing and I can't thank them enough for everything they have done to help us, especially Mel
who has helped my son so much with his extra needs. Both my children have a close bond with everyone and it makes me feel so at ease knowing they are in the best hands.

The staff are so attentive and caring and we know our child is in safe hands from the moment he arrives until we pick him up.
He thrives under their supervision; learning, having fun, making friends and growing more and more independent each day.
In the morning we love to see what he's having for
lunch. At pick up it's a joy to see the pictures he has made, or the ones his friends have made for him. It's also great when they have been on outings in the local community. Seeing him playing in the garden is lovely too as he really enjoys the mix of indoor and outdoor activities.
We couldn't be happier with Happy Days!

Both my kids go to Happy Days Bradley Stoke and I could not be happier! The staff are absolutely fantastic and treat us all like family. My eldest is hyper and stubborn but the staff deal with them so well, especially the room leader. My littlest has fallen in love with their key worker. Everyone is
so friendly and makes time for any query. They are really understanding and will help in any way they can. I would 100% recommend this nursery (and often do!) we will be very sad to go when it's time for school.

We have had an absolutely wonderful experience with Happy Days Bradley Stoke, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! From the very first day, we knew we had made the right choice for our child. The staff are exceptional. They are not only highly professional and skilled but also incredibly caring
and nurturing. It is evident that they genuinely love what they do, and this is reflected in the warm and welcoming environment they create every day. The activities and curriculum are both engaging and educational. Our child has flourished in this setting, learning new skills, making friends, and exploring new interests. It's clear that the staff put a lot of thought and effort into planning activities, ensuring they are both fun and educational. Most importantly, our child loves going every day and has truly become a second home for our child, and we are so grateful. Thank you, for providing such a fantastic start to our child's educational journey.

After the closure of my son's previous nursery. We were able to secure a place at Happy Days.
I can only praise them for the excellent service that they have given. In particular, I would like to thank two staff members in particular who have been excellent with my son. He adores them both. It is also
clear that he has developed in his preparation to start school. I would recommend them to anyone looking for childcare.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.941)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.941) out of 10 for Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Bradley Stoke 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 44 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 44 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 4.941 for Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Bradley Stoke is calculated as follows: ( (500 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 528 Ratings = 4.941

  • 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 - Bradley Stoke is based on 44 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 100 number of registered child places is 20, which has been reached with 44 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.
