I have been with Happy Days for 7 years now. First son 2017-2021, my middle son is about to finish for big school, and my youngest son is about to start. They have been fantastic in all aspects. As a parent, I like that they are always quick to respond to emails/queries, and the teachers are very approachable
and knowledgeable. Being able to drop off so early in the mornings is a massive help to us. My boys have always enjoyed going to Happy Days, making great friends (with their peers and teachers!) and experiencing new things. My eldest still loves popping in to visit and say hi to all the teachers. Looking forward to another 4 brilliant years with the team.

I cannot sing the praises of the nursery staff enough. My daughter had a difficult time over Christmas which affected her confidence but through support of the team (especially one member of staff in particular!) she quickly returned to her confident outgoing self. She loves going there and looks forward
to seeing all her friends, she always comes home with a big smile on her face and has grand stories of what they have all been doing.
Plus they are great value for money and their communication is great - loving the new app as well.
Thank you Happy Days!

Absolutely wonderful nursery. My daughter has thrived here. The staff are so very friendly and supportive in every way. My daughter had her first school settle this week and due to Happy Days preparing her for school, she just breezed in without any concern. I can already see the transition will be
seamless.

Our son and daughter both attend Happy Days and we couldn’t have chosen a better nursery for them. They’ve both been thriving since they started and built up such strong bonds with all the staff members, especially their key people. Everyone genuinely cares about the children and understands their personalities.
There is such a variety of activities on offer to challenge, develop and motivate the children. I love the free flow into the garden, giving them a choice of where and what they want to play. The food is of a high standard and varied and the staff are so patient at encouraging our two to eat! It’s always a nervy decision to leave your child in someone else’s care, but Happy Days put me at ease straight away when I saw how happy our two are there. The staff are always on hand to answer questions or chat and comms are excellent. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Happy Days to anyone, brilliant nursery and well deserving of their Outstanding Ofsted rating. Thank you!

I honestly couldn’t recommend this nursery enough. The staff are always warm and friendly and my daughter really loves every single one. She goes to them with ease and joy and despite not wanting to be away from her I know she is going to be very well looked after and cared for. I have a very cuddly
child that loves her mummy and doesn’t often want to be off me but she will happily go to any of the staff in her room and it makes me so happy that she loves to be there. The handovers are really lovely and I love how everyone remembers little details.

Overall, Happy Days Bradley Stoke has gone the extra mile to support my niece settling into nursery. Since she has started, her language and confidence have developed massively. The staff welcomed her with open arms and built fantastic relationships with her.

I couldn’t ask for anything more! When my older daughter was attending back in 2017 was brilliant and my youngest has been attending for 2 years now and I cannot fault anything. I am very happy with all the staff and how good they are with my daughter.

My experience when coming to the nursery is excellent as they make my child excited to come to nursery. My child has become a bubbly, excited little girl. My child comes out learning new things and has come out of her shell. She loves the staff who work here and I have no concerns or problems about
the nursery.

Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Bradley Stoke had been on our choice of nurseries for my baby but it was on the day of our tour and meeting the admin staff here when I was sure it is here where I would like my baby to spend time away from me... and it was the perfect choice.
All the staff members
always take your suggestions on board and go to all extent to make you and your child comfortable.
I have nothing but praise for the hardworking and compassionate staff here.

Fantastic nursery, really supportive during periods when my child suffered separation anxiety - worked through together to manage it.
My child has a great time there, lots of outdoor play and choice for them. Would highly recommend!

Staff are always approachable, and quick at responding both in person and via email. They are always quick to pick up any queries or questions we may have for our child, and help us out where they can.
They always put the children first to make sure they are happy, and all staff are friendly-natured
and caring in all the rooms.
My little one loves happy days and enjoys being in the setting. We love Happy Days-Bradley Stoke.

The team at Happy Days Bradley Stoke are always on hand to support and help my daughter thrive whilst she attends the nursery.
They are the best team I could ask for at my daughter's nursery and make her feel safe and happy at all times.
From the activities to the food menu each day, they truly
think of everything and have the children at the heart of all they do.
I wouldn’t send my daughter anywhere else!

Our daughter has come on leaps and bounds since starting at Happy Days. Her confidence has grown so much, and she is so happy at nursery. The daily updates from the staff are fantastic, and I really enjoy seeing what she has been up to in the day via the app. The staff are so attentive to every child's
needs, and it's very clear that the children are at the centre of everything there. The managers are very lovely, and nothing is too much hassle for them; they're always very helpful and are able to answer any queries I have. I would recommend Happy Days Bradley Stoke to everyone.

My little girl has been at Happy Days for almost two years now, and the nursery is fantastic. The activities that she takes part in are so well thought through and are tailored so well to her interests. The staff are so lovely and really care for the children. We couldn't have picked a better nursery
for our little one.

My little one has been attending happy days since he was 9 months old!! I’ve never had an issue the whole time he has attended.
I can tell that all the staff here are compassionate about their job! It’s amazing to see what they get up to during their days now with the parent app.

Great nursery, lovely, kind and caring staff. They have helped my son develop so much after the past few months he’s attended. He loves going to nursery and they are great with him. He has food allergies and the staff take great care in catering for him. They have excellent safety measures in place
when family members have to collect your child, my parents even commented on it being the best nursery they’ve collected their grandchildren from. I can’t recommend them enough!

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.
