There aren’t enough words to say how incredibly grateful we are for Happy Days Bath. The staff are friendly to us as parents and go above and beyond for our son.
Our son is incredibly happy at the nursery and super comfortable with the staff - he is happy when I leave and when I pick him up, and has
grown a real bond with his key worker.
The staff and his key worker really help to focus on his milestones, like promoting walking or bum shuffling.
He gets a wide variety of food for his meals and snacks and you can tell how he has developed self-feeding skills. He’s introduced to lots of activities such as painting, playing with toys and interacting with other children.
As parents, we are extremely happy with our choice in nursery and would recommend to any other parent. I have to say, it is the staff that make it!

Wonderful, friendly and very helpful team! Definitely exceeding expectations!
My daughter started attending in November and we have noticed a substantial improvement since she started at the Combe Down Mulberry Park branch.
All of the team would go extra mile to offer a valueless support. They made
our life easy!
Indeed, we are fortunate and would like to take this opportunity to say thank you so much!

My daughter has only been attending Happy Days Bath for a short time after moving her from an unsatisfactory nursery. Since her move, she has settled incredibly quickly and ironed out all of her bad traits picked up from her previous nursery. I was understandably sceptical about her move, I didn't know
if she could or would adapt, this concern was rapidly dispelled. My daughter's development has come on leaps and bounds, she actually looks forward to nursery now and talks about it all of the time. The staff have worked very closely with my daughter and it really shows. Her confidence has improved, she's eating properly, she wants to use the potty, she plays respectfully with toys and she just loves going to nursery. I used to be constantly anxious when she was at her previous nursery but I'm so happy to say that this is no longer the case. Every single member of staff I've met are wonderful, they really care and enjoy their job, they always have the children's best interest at heart. Thank you.

Warm welcoming feeling from all staff - management and room staff.
My daughter has recently started but it feels as if she has been there for ages she has settled so well and already we have great relationships with the staff, she is keen to get to nursery and asks every day if she can go!
The facilities
are great, my daughter loves being outside so the constant access to the wonderful garden areas is a real bonus for her.

The staff are being outstanding, helping our little girl to integrate and start talking in the nursery space. They have engage and put in place a plan to help her overcome being mute, as she is a very “chatty” girl outside of nursery. We couldn’t be more happy and our daughter herself loves to be in
nursery all day! She comes home always very happy and with a lot to talk about!

My child adores going to Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Bath and the staff all seem really pleased to be there too. Great indoor and outdoor space and they have been so helpful, reassuring and supportive during these strange times of Covid-19. They seem to know him well and are very welcoming and
enthusiastic. You might think they would get fed up with relaying the info about meals, play and nappies about each child but they seem just as delighted as we are when a picky eater eats a carrot or interacts with peers in a new way. They make each child feel special, safe and heard. I am delighted and honoured to have such a lovely team caring for my family.

My daughter has completely blossomed since attending Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Bath. My daughter has only been here for only a few months and with consideration of lockdown and my daughter not being to be able to venture much, as she was born at the start of this pandemic bless her, she has
done so well with learning about the big world. This is with the help of Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Bath and the staff. So a big thank you to all.

This nursery has been amazing, loving and caring. My daughter was very shy to begin with in 2018 and now she’s full of beans and loves going to nursery. She’s made loads of friends as well and friends with the adults too! I will definitely be sending my other children here too.

A really lovely nursery, I cannot fault anything. My son has separation anxiety, he goes one day a week and he has progressed very well at the nursery and is speaking more than he did. My daughter loves going, she has made new friends and is starting to come out of her shell along with more interacting
with others. The staff are very friendly, always smiling and always ask how the children have been over the weekend. I am very pleased how my children are progressing, I just wish there was a bit more funding for two to three year old's as my children only attend once a week. I am willing to pay the extra to get them in more often.

My son has gone to Happy Days for the last year. We were worried about how he would settle being that he is our first child. We shouldn’t have, all the staff have been fantastic with us but most importantly with our son. He now runs into nursery every morning and reluctantly comes home with me at the
end of the day. He loves it, and I truly believe the interaction with the other children and staff have brought him along immensely. I would recommend Happy Days to everyone.

His key workers have been fantastic and give us regular updates on his progress and what he has been enjoying. The communication has been excellent, particularly during a very
tough 2020. Overall, we are extremely happy with the care he receives and would highly recommend Happy Days.

We had viewed quite a lot of nurseries in the area, and after narrowing it down to three local ones we decided to go with Happy Days. There wasn't a lot in it, they all seemed to have lovely, friendly staff, but Happy Days is purpose-built which comes with so many benefits, especially the outdoor space
which was key for our daughter who loves the outdoors! Our child had a rocky couple of weeks settling in after not spending any time with anyone other than me and her father, joining mid a global pandemic made it difficult! But she now waves me off at the door and has built such a lovely relationship with not only her keyworker but other staff members. Communication has been amazing, especially keeping us up to date with covid. The processes and how they've dealt with covid has been been very thorough, can't fault this at all. Unfortunately, they don't use an app, but complete daily forms that you can talk through with the keyworker on collection - which works for us.

My son has attended Happy Days for a year now and I have to say the progress in his development has been amazing. He comes out each day with a huge smile on his face and has built a lovely relationship with his care leader. During what has been a horrendous year for all, the Nursery have been fantastic
at keeping all parents up to date and ensuring a high quality of procedures enabling us to feel safe and secure when our child attends.

Fantastic nursery, I am very happy that I choose this nursery over other local nurseries. My little boy started in October at 6 months old as I had to get back to work. The nursery manager was really great in arranging enough settling in sessions to ensure that the change wasn't a shock to him. He did
a few half days before starting full time. He was assigned an amazing key worker with whom he has formed a strong bond with and he is happy and excited when he sees her, even if he's just woken up. I honestly think he misses her on the weekend. She is always excited about any new things he starts doing and I haven't had a day where I've picked him up and he hasn't had a great day. The other staff members in Explorers are also really friendly and great and he likes them all and will go to any of them without a problem. In addition, the nursery has been really great with handling his dietary requirements and facilitating elimination diets.

My daughter started nursery back in October. She was a bit upset at handover to start with but within a few sessions she was happy to walk in a wave goodbye. Her key worker is brilliant with her and my daughter has made a lovely bond. I always get great feedback at the end of her session. My daughters
eating and speech has also improved. The only thing is Happy Days only have set times which is early morning 8-1 or 1-6. You cannot choose your own times. Other than that, the staff and nursery are fabulous.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.758)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.758) out of 10 for Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Bath is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 41 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 41 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 4.758 for Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Bath is calculated as follows: ( (375 Excellents x 5) + (101 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 484 Ratings = 4.758

  • 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 - Bath is based on 41 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 70 number of registered child places is 14, which has been reached with 41 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.
