Since my little one started at Happy Days Nursery & Pre-school - Poole in August 2024, he's absolutely loved it! The staff are incredible - always welcoming, friendly, and so kind. After our very first visit, we attended a settling-in session, and as soon as we walked in, the staff greeted us with a
cheerful good morning and immediately knew my son's name. It was such a thoughtful touch, especially since he'd only been there for an initial visit before that.
The environment at Happy Days is truly comforting. My son's face lights up every day when he walks in, and it's clear he's particularly fond of his key workers, who always make him feel special.
I am beyond pleased with our choice of Happy Days for his nursery. He's learning so much, and the fact that he's so happy and well cared for while I'm at work gives me complete peace of mind.

My child has been attending Happy Days for 3 years now. He always comes out with a smile on his face and enjoys his time there. As a teacher myself, have been really impressed with all the learning opportunities they have provided for my child and feel the nursery have helped further his growth and
development. The staff are all so friendly and welcoming as well. I always leave my child feeling confident he is being well cared for and have recommended the nursery to many other people.

Happy Days is a fantastic nursery, my little one has such an amazing time there, and seeing the updates on the app of all the fun things she's been up to that day put my mind at ease of being away from her. Happy Days were incredibly supportive in those first few weeks of my going back to work and my
child to nursery, and I couldn't have made the move back to work without them. They have excellent facilities and an impressive outdoor space. The staff are all friendly and kind. The food they offer for little ones is brilliant and really encourages little ones to try lots of new food and textures. Brilliant nursery

Happy Days Poole have done an incredible job of making myself and my baby girl feel confident and excited for our nursery journey! I was very nervous and staff made all my nerves fly away! The staff are loving and supportive and I couldn't be more thankful! My daughter is so excited to come to nursery
now and is learning new things every day. I highly recommend Happy Days Poole!

We have had a great experience with Happy Days. We always get a warm welcome and the atmosphere is relaxed and happy whilst caring and ensuring each child's needs are met. The nursery is bright, clean and spacious, perfect for little ones to explore and most importantly safe.
The outside space is fantastic
and is used a lot, a real benefit to this nursery.

My son has had a wonderful time at Happy Days. He has been well supported and loved by the adults who have looked after him.
His favourite thing by has been hanging out in the wild garden picking flowers in the shade.

So pleased with Adventures 2, they have been so supportive during a tough time for myself and my son. It's so reassuring knowing that my child is being well looked after. I cannot recommend the staff and facilities enough. I have seen my son develop so much since joining this room. I think the outdoor
space is fabulous and love receiving paintings and drawings at the end of the day. Overall I am so happy with the support and experience in this room.

My daughter has excelled with her social skills since starting and this is down to the effort the staff have put in. She is always happy at drop off and pick up and the staff are always happy to give her a cuddle on drop off if unsettled. I feel they really nurture her.

Our daughter has been at Happy Days since she was 11 months and absolutely loves it! She is so happy going in in the mornings and the staff know her so well. I know that she is so well looked after! The activities provided are fantastic and the food is wonderful - she’s always trying new things. We’re
so happy that we found Happy Days - we wouldn’t want her anywhere else.

My son has the best time here, if he is upset coming in then the staff are always there to comfort him. If I ever have any worries the girls always reassure me. I know I can call anytime to ask any questions. The toys are always rotated and the children never look bored. They are always stimulated with
new toys and group times. I would recommend this nursery to all my friends.

My son has settled in really well into nursery which must be down to the lovely relaxing atmosphere he feels when he is there. We have never had any trouble dropping him off and as a parent this is wonderful to see. A particular member of staff has also been wonderful with talking through any developmental
challenges.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.913)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.913) out of 10 for Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Poole 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 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.913 for Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Poole is calculated as follows: ( (316 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 345 Ratings = 4.913

  • 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 & Pre-School - Poole is based on 29 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 81 number of registered child places is 16.2, which has been reached with 29 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.
