My daughter started her nursery in September, the staff are friendly, lovely and care about the children. They always welcome us with happy faces. Also, my daughter has formed good relationships with the staff and other children. She learned so many things after a year of nursery, she knows how to speak
and understand very good English language (her other language being Romanian). So we would not hesitate to recommend this nursery. Fantastic. Thank you.

Two of my boys are attending Happy Days. We moved from another town but despite the big change they settled in very quickly and they are very happy, happier than they were at the previous nursery. Communication with the parents is excellent, we are kept up to speed with the children's progress and their
developmental needs. The nursery is also very clean. Staff are superstars, the key person really knows the children very well and you can see that from the bond the children form with them. They do lots of activities with the children. So, all in all, I highly recommend this nursery!

My child comes from another country and English is not our first language. The teachers in this nursery are very supportive and help our child to make friends and learn. They love children from their heart, very caring towards the children's feelings. My child is learning English quickly and getting
used to the new environment very well.

Both of my children attended and are attending Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Bradley Stoke. All the personnel are very competent and caring. They really give their hearts to what they do and I feel that my child is thriving in the nursery. My daughter was very happy there and now my son attends the
nursery, since he was sixteen months. He is a very happy child and I know that his good developmental pace is thanks to his child minders. A special thanks to four members of staff in particular! Thank you so much and I cannot thank you enough for being so great, competent and caring.

I would thoroughly recommend Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Bradley Stoke. My daughter settled in very quickly and is happy to attend each day. The nursery is great at communication via email, in our daughters daily diary book and on the Facebook group so despite not being able to go in due to Covid-19,
we feel like we get to see what life is like inside. They have also implemented Covid-19 safety measures well, which is reassuring to see. We are moving out of the area and I am sad that my daughter will be changing nurseries as she has been cared for so well here.

Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Bradley Stoke is a fantastic nursery. My older daughter went there from the age of nine months until school and now five years later my eight-month-old attends full-time. The staff are absolutely brilliant, my daughter's face lights up every morning when she sees them.
They do some many different stimulating activities with the children and they encourage them to spend a lot of time outdoors, which is great. The quality of the feedback at the end of the day is really high and it's obvious that the staff really care about the children. I can't recommend Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Bradley Stoke highly enough!

We are so pleased with how our little girl settled at nursery, especially after being away for so long due to Covid-19, she settled right back in and really thrives being there. Very happy we chose Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Bradley Stoke and especially pleased with all the measures put in place
during the Covid-19 pandemic. Our little girl gets excited to go every time and really loves her time there.

Such a fantastic nursery and pre-school, I'd thoroughly recommend it. My older son has attended from the age of 1. He has thrived here and I think it will make the transition to school so much easier later this year. He absolutely loves going and is always talking about his friends. Written feedback
is given daily. More recently, photos are being shared with a private group, it's been lovely to see the fun and educational activities they have been doing. My younger son has attended for 4 months so far. He has settled in really well and is very different from the baby who (due to lockdown) used to cry whenever he saw anyone outside of our household. All the members of staff are brilliant, they seem very caring and enthusiastic. I'm reassured in the professional manner in which they have adapted to the pandemic and implemented new procedures to keep everyone as safe as possible.

I only have positive things to say about this nursery. Like most mothers returning to work after maternity leave, I felt mixed emotions about leaving my baby.
Choosing the right nursery was an important decision. I looked at lots of places and although not the cheapest, I knew immediately Happy Days
was the one for us as the staff were so lovely and the place had a happy, positive vibe.
My little boy is now nearly 4 and I haven’t regretted my decision over the years. The staff are amazing; I can see they invest in his development, share feedback and ideas to work together to help him learn. I know he has a trusting relationship with his key workers and always talks fondly about his days at nursery.
Communication is excellent and has surpassed my expectations in recent months during the pandemic. I feel they have done an exceptional job in really difficult circumstances and am grateful for all their efforts. I will be very sad when it’s time for us to leave.

My daughter has attended the Happy Days - Bradley Stoke setting for 3 years. Happy Days is excellent and the staff are absolutely brilliant. My daughter has so much fun and talks about her key worker and the others within her class with real fondness and enthusiasm.
The staff put so much thought into
the day to day activities and learning it really does enable children to thrive and my daughter happily talks about her days at nursery and what they did.
During the Covid pandemic, I have been thoroughly impressed with how the nursery team have responded, the protocols are followed and do not seem daunting to young children.
I have not had any concerns about the safety during these challenging times.
Communication across the board is very good in terms of updates on my daughter’s day to day activities, learning and key skills performance and also general updates and Covid related information as things have developed.
A great nursery and wonderful team.

Since my daughter started nursery 4 months ago I have nothing but positive things to say about Happy Days Bradley Stoke. From the moment I looked around the nursery I felt it was very professional compared to others I had viewed.
I feel the staff really care about the children they look after here.
All staff here are very approachable and supportive and are always happy to speak over the phone or email if needed with prompt replies. Daily updates are given via a communication book which is always nice to read about what they have been up to and any new things that have happened. Keep up the good work and thank you!

Our son started nursery a few months ago and has settled in so well thanks to the staff at Happy Days - Bradley Stoke he loves going there. Despite the challenges faced during the pandemic, we get daily updates on his daily activities from his key worker which makes us feel so reassured that he is cared

Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Bradley Stoke have been an amazing environment for my twins to learn, play and develop. I have noticed a positive change in my children, who are very young, but they are learning more and more with each week in the nursery. A special thanks to two staff who my children
are learning a lot from in their early years of life. Also, the admin around the nursery is handled very well by the office team (it certainly helps a busy parent not to have to worry about these things)!

Having had to find a nursery in lockdown we were very concerned about finding the right place. Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Bradley Stoke made us feel so comfortable particularly in these difficult times. I sent lots of emails asking questions and they were always answered so well and in a reassuring
nature.
Although we weren’t able to have the induction that would usually happen I’m still confident that my child was welcomed and settled in well to nursery. With various changes in lockdown measures we had to increase our nursery hours and the nursery did everything they could to accommodate this which we were very grateful for.
Our little girl loves going to Happy Days and she quickly changed from being crying and clingy at drop off to going in happily with the different staff in her room.
I can tell she’s kept busy and stimulated each day as she’s shattered at bedtime. Really happy with her nursery experience. Thank you to all the staff, especially in these difficult times!

I would highly recommend Happy Days Bradley Stoke. My son joined when he was 12 months at the end of my maternity leave, and he's now been there for 3 months.
Happy Days isn't the cheapest nursery around but you certainly get what you pay for, I visited several nurseries before we joined and I knew
when I walked in it was the one... they say choosing a nursery is like buying a house, you know when you know! I was lucky enough to be shown around (Days before covid!) and was impressed with the friendly staff, cleanliness, activities and the rooms.
It's wonderful to see the connection he's made with the nursery nurses, to see his face light up when they see him in the morning is great. Leaving your little one in the hands of others is daunting, but everyone is lovely and you can be assured they are in the best hands!

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.
