I'm so glad we chose Happy Days for our son. Our son always looks forward to coming to nursery. The staff are very friendly and approachable. I always felt comfortable leaving my son the whole day. He always comes home happy and sharing what he has learnt. We were always asked (on parents evening) what
we wanted the nursery to do in order to bring the best out of my son. I would and will highly recommend Happy Days. 5-star nursery.

I could not be happier with Happy Days. The staff and the facilities are fantastic. My daughter (17 months) gets so excited when we walk in. It is such a nice feeling being able to focus at work knowing that she is happy and receiving such great care. Her food allergies have been catered for and she
loves the food! I 100% recommend this nursery.

I highly recommend Happy Days, I have only high praise for this Nursery. The staff are amazing and are extremely attentive to the children. The rooms are always clean, food is fresh and security are all to a high standard. My son loves attending and I know he'll always be well looked after and have
fun. He's come on leaps since he first started and I can see a real difference in his independence ready for starting school this September. This is all thanks to the staff getting him school ready. All the activities are both fun and educational and I really enjoy picking him up and hearing everything he's done that day.

Happy days is a wonderful nursery! I have 2 children that go here and they absolutely love it! They always have a wide range of activities out and are always very welcoming to me and my children. On pick up the staff fill me with information on what my children have been doing that day and what they’ve
eaten. All the staff are friendly and are always smiling. My children have learned so much since they have started here and are very proud of all the art and crafts they bring home for me.

My first child has attended Happy Days one day a week and absolutely loves it! The staff from the receptionist, through to the ladies in her room to the manager have all been very welcoming and helpful. My daughter always comes home well fed and tired from a day of playing and fun!


Would highly recommend

this nursery to anyone thinking of sending their children there.

I would highly recommend this nursery! The staff are always friendly and happy. My son always comes home telling me about the new and exciting activities he's done that day. The staff at happy days have really helped my son with his speech and taught him how to share, how to eat using the appropriate
utensils and above all they have made him feel very welcomed! He's always very excited to go to nursery and sometimes even cries when I pick him up because he "don't want to goooo". This nursery really does teach children to the highest standards and treats every child with care and support! I can't wait for his little brother to start, I know he will feel exactly the same as his brother because its such a calm and friendly atmosphere from the moment you walk through the door.

I really can't recommend Happy Days enough. My eldest son attended for two years before leaving for school and my youngest started in January. Both settled in quickly and absolutely love it. The staff are incredible and go over and above to ensure the children feel valued and that they make great progress.
It's amazing how much my 2-year-old has learnt in just a few weeks, he's become much more independent and his speech has developed lots! As a parent, I am always greeted with a warm welcome and fully informed about my child's day. I feel their partnership with parents is excellent, which really helps with continuity between home and the setting. The Nursery itself has great facilities and is bright and clean. There is always a good range of high-quality activities for the children to choose from, which my children are excited to tell me about when I collect them. I highly recommend this nursery!

My son started at happy days in January. We are more than impressed. From the warm and friendly welcome at reception to the staff directly looking after my son. Everyone genuinely seems to care.
My son really enjoys himself and is Happy to be going to ‘Happy days’. The staff have done a fab job at
welcoming and settling him in.
The room and nursery itself are always clean and tidy, with lots of toys and a great outdoor space for the children to explore. My son particularly loves the outdoor area.
I feel it’s been the best decision placing my son here and always look forward to hearing about all the fun he has had.
Keep up the good work Bradley Stoke happy days!!

My daughter started with Happy Days Bradley Stoke as she turned one. I continue to be incredibly impressed with the standard of care and attention she receives, a huge relief when you're returning to work and need to focus without worrying. My daughter is incredibly lucky not only to have a fantastic
key worker, but also that everyone working there knows her name (and the name of my eldest who is with me when we collect her!). Any changes to her routine (naps/food), likes and dislikes are noted and actioned as if I were there, in effect she has a mum/many mums away from me, I couldn't ask for a better place for her to be.


We are very fortunate to have Happy Days on our doorstep and I know it'll be a sad day when my daughter comes to leave for infant school! I know what she has done, what she has eaten, how many nappies she's been through and what time, and all naps in a daily report given to me when I pick her up. Wonderful place, wonderful people - thank you!

What a fantastic nursery and an exceptional team of people. Our daughter has been attending the nursery for the last 18 months and during this time we could not be happier with the care that has been provided for our little girl. She really is thriving. The staff all seem to genuinely care about her,
which is a great comfort when you have to rely on other people to look after your child at times. We have never had any concerns about leaving her there and she is always happy when we pick her up. She is particularly chatty and has lots to say about the brilliant activities that she has done that day. Our son will also be attending the nursery in the near future when I return to work. My husband and I would recommend this nursery to anyone without hesitation.

I am so glad I enrolled my twins with Happy Days Nursery. They have both settled in quickly and are so happy there. The staff are always welcoming and friendly. Already in the short space of time that my twins have been attending nursery, they have both developed so much by being allowed to explore
and experience all different sorts of new adventures. The food they provide is always varied and healthy along with the odd treat for birthdays and special occasions. I love the review form that is sent home with them after each session so I can read all about what they have been up too and I am really looking forward to our first parents evening in a few weeks. I just wish I could afford for them to attend more days than they do.

After looking at several nurseries in the Bristol area and not being inspired walking into Happy Days at Bradley Stoke was like a breath of fresh air. All of the staff are friendly, very welcoming, professional and clearly love what they do. We wanted to find a nursery where our son would not only have
fun but also experience new things and learn each day, we certainly have found this here. I can't recommend Happy Days at Bradley Stoke high enough.

From the first time we visited to today we have not had anything bad to say about this nursery. The care he receives is outstanding. He receives a lot of care and affection and is always happy to go. The food is home cooked, fresh and a big variety. The activities are always interesting, varied and
age related. The staff and management are always happy to talk and answer questions and provide daily feedback. I would highly recommend Happy Days.

My little boy started at Happy Days Bradley Stoke when he was 10 months old, I looked around several nurseries and knew that this nursery was the right one - he did initially start at another nursery - however due to problems that occurred with his settling in sessions I decided that nursery wasn't
for him! Bradley Stoke is wonderful, the staff are lovely and I really like the bond my son has built with his key worker despite him only going in one day a week.
They do lot's of nice activities with the children, I especially like receiving things he has made throughout the day - the garden is also a lovely area for little ones to explore.
When I pick him up he always seems bright, chatty and happy! :-)
I hope in the meanwhile the other nursery have had additional training to ensure their nursery standards match Bradley Stoke!

My daughter loves her time at nursery. She started at 17 months and despite struggling with being separated form me at first, the staff were great at reassuring and supporting both of us. She settled in really quickly due to the efforts of the Happy days team. She now loves it! Christmas was a very
exciting affair, it was lovely to have so many gifts bought home! Her speech and socialisation skills have really come on as an only child she now thoroughly enjoys the company of other children. I have nothing but high praise for the staff at Happy Days who are warm and welcoming. When I pick up and drop off. Have already recommended to other friends.

Very happy with the decision we made to change my daughter's nursery. The staff at Happy Days are very good, committed and friendly. The management is doing a very good work of running the nursery in an orderly manner. The premises are always clean and the children are given all the attention they need.
I can see the changes in my daughter already. Their interests are re taken into account by activities are developed considering each individual child. Hope to see Happy Days keeping up with the good work by commitment in future.

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.
