Our son really enjoys this nursery, going for 2 years now and we are so pleased with his progress and what the nursery provide him with.


He gets breakfast, lunch and dinner and is never bored either a variety of activities given to him and has made tons of friends.


His communication and confidence

has grown exponentially and we have the nursery to thank for this.


We're kept up to date on the app or given a detailed hand over.

We've had our daughter in Happy Days since she was 1, and she'll be turning 4 soon and starting school in September. In that time we have always felt she was incredibly well cared for, and she has formed strong attachments with many of the staff at the nursery. Our son is now there too, and similarly
is always happy and adores the girls who care for him in his room. We feel lucky to have found a childcare setting where our children have been so nurtured. Whilst I've no doubt my daughter will be sad, she will be starting school very well prepared from both a social and educational perspective.

The staff at happy days are so kind and nurturing. I feel totally at ease leaving my daughter with them, knowing that she is safe and being shown the same attention and kindness that she gets at home. We love hearing about what she's learned and what activities she's been doing and the regular photo
and story updates mean that I don't feel I'm missing out on her day.

We are really happy we chose happy days Weston for our child, we were new to the area so viewed a few nurseries, but the staff were always so welcoming at happy days it felt like the best environment. I stayed on a few of the settling in days and the children were happy and well taken care off. Even
on the days when it's an emotional drop off my child reaches out to the staff for comfort, which shows to me how well he is cared for whilst there. There is always a rotation on food and the staff regularly update the app to keep you informed. There's a wide selection of toys and I think the outside space is really nice and secure. Would highly recommend.

Both of my children's attended Happy Days Nursery and I was pleased about their development. Staff is always warm, attentive and supportive to the child to get the best experience in their nursery.
Both of my children were difficult at begging (the little one still is) and the staff tried their best
to offer them trust, safety and nice environment to settle nicely.
Outdoor is a plus having constantly acces to the garden and having fun activities and engaging with the oldest once...

My son started here in December 2024 and even in such a short time, has really flourished here. His speech has come on remarkably well and he always greets me with a smile when I pick him up. He is also happy to go each morning which is lovely to see. I get great feedback from the staff each day and
they seem really enthusiastic about him as an individual which is a testament to their care.
They have also been very understanding and accommodating in accepting my other child with epilepsy and he starts there soon. They have taken their time to attend the appropriate training which puts my mind at ease. As a plus, their baby room seems so comfortable and calm, a really lovely environment.
Overall a really positive experience and would recommend this nursery to other parents looking for a place.

Both my girls have been at Happy Days Nursery for just over a year.
During this time the staff have done an amazing job supporting both my girls.
We had a difficult period during the handover in the morning, but the team were great at not only supporting the children but also myself.
My youngest
daughter who is 22 months has recently started potty training and once again the girls in her room have gone above and beyond to support this.
Overall, a lovely nursery with great staff and management.

My child has been at Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School for a few months now and has settled in really well into the baby room! The staff in the room are always welcoming to myself and my daughter and always make an effort to ensure my daughter is happy. They keep us well updated throughout the day using
their app and stick closely to her individual routine. They always seem to have good activities set up for the children to play with, indoors and outdoors. When I collect my daughter, she always seems happy and the room seems like a really happy and calm environment. It's really nice to see the staff in the room have built such good relationships with my daughter and they are so chatty, this makes me feel so at ease.

We couldn’t be more pleased with Happy Days as a nursery for our son. Every single member of staff is fab, really positive, enthusiastic and very welcoming. They seem to really get to know each child and tailor their approach to suit them. Our child loves attending the setting and it is so comforting
leaving him somewhere where I feel completely assured he will be safe and well looked after. On my first visit to the setting, it was clear that the nursery was better run than others we had seen and had a sense of calmness even with lots of children to care for. Whenever I pop in to collect my son, the children are happy and content and I love that you can go right into the room to collect them. Lovely garden area with good equipment and a fab range of inside toys too. The children get a proper chef-cooked hot meal and great snacks throughout the day. We honestly couldn’t be happier with Happy Days and are so grateful to them for caring for our child.

Our daughter has thrived since joining Happy Days, Weston. She is so content, her speech has come on leaps and bounds, and she is just a happy kid.
She talks about her nursery staff often and asks to go to nursery on the days she’s not in! We are so glad we made the decision to switch nurseries.
Massive
thank you to the team for looking after our girl.

I would highly recommend Happy Days, the staff have been amazing throughout our little boy's time there. They have taken the time to get to know him, supported him through times of transition and adapted to his needs. In addition to the incredible support, they have provided a range of fun, engaging
and real-life opportunities for learning. He’s transformed from a very anxious little boy to running into Preschool every day with excitement. We can’t thank you enough for his time with you!

Happy Days have been fantastic, our son loves going to nursery and he has come so far since starting a year ago. All of the staff are so friendly and wonderful, we all adore them. Our son has bonded so much with his key worker and the girls in his room who look after him, he is always happy to be dropped
off and when we pick him up. The communications we receive are always great, the new app has been fantastic too and it’s been so lovely to see regular updates on what he gets up to plus hearing more about his day now the basics are available on the app. I would definitely recommend Happy Days. It is expensive but I do feel we get our money's worth with the care he receives.

My daughter has had such a wonderful time at Happy Days, I’ll be sad for her to leave. From day one, I’ve felt happy knowing she is being left in loving, caring, capable hands. Most recently in the pre-school, she has formed a great bond with the staff. She’s grown and learnt so much, and been guided
through any tricky emotions with care and empathy. Thank you Happy Days staff.

My daughter has had an amazing experience and I am so glad she has been lucky enough to have Happy Days as part of her journey. She has been there for a year and a half. She started in a class room in the main building and then moved over to pre-school. At pre-school she's come along so much, the staff
there are lovely and caring and just who I want to leave my little girl with. I couldn't be more thankful to all the team at Happy Days, we are so sad she will be leaving next week but so grateful for all of the experiences Happy Days have gave her.

So we recently moved from Bristol to Weston.
I had looked at some other nurseries and I was not impressed. I found Happy days and gave them a call. They answered the phone immediately and booked me in for that week. From the moment we walked into the nursery we were both made to feel welcome and like
we were already part of the family.
The staff here are so incredibly amazing, I cannot put it into words. My little one has settled in straight away, made lots of friends, they are always doing something different, and the meals he has there - I want to go! The food options are incredible.


I cannot give one fault to this place.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.826)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.826) out of 10 for Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Weston-super-Mare 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 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.826 for Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Weston-super-Mare is calculated as follows: ( (249 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 282 Ratings = 4.826

  • 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 - Weston-super-Mare is based on 24 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 105 number of registered child places is 21, which has been reached with 24 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.
