Both my children now attend Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Weston-super-Mare and we literally cannot fault them! Both my boys have the best days when they’re there and always come out with a huge smile and can’t wait to tell us about their days! Our eldest took a while to come out of his shell and
key staff members have really helped with his confidence which we will be forever grateful for! We really are so glad we chose Happy Days!

Both my children go to happy days and I cannot recommend it enough. Both of them love it there and all the staff are so friendly and welcoming. They are very informative on updates and on collecting what the children have been up to. The standards are of high standard and the children love meantimes.
Please consider happy days for your childcare.

The staff at Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Weston-super-Mare have become part of our family! They provide the most enriching environment for our little boy. They have provided extra help and support for things like settling in/drop offs which were a challenge and the staff continue to amaze us with
how much they commit.
Yes, there are all the usual things you would expect like great activities, creative learning and a daily menu I’m envious of! But it’s the things you can’t quantify; the way they genuinely care and seeing the bonds they foster with each child is wonderful.
Now 3 years on we are close to graduation with school starting soon which makes us wonder how will we ever cope without this extended family supporting our little boy and us too!
A million thank yous to this wonderful team for the incredible work you do. Hard working staff for hard working parents. Five stars all round.

My son went here from 2017 to 2021 and my daughter from 2020 to present. Both have absolutely excelled here, with the staff always being able to help in any way they can.
My daughter is partially deaf and so uses a bone anchored hearing aid and they took to this with ease. They were quite happy to
train on the process of its usage and were happy to take her aside every day to give her extra help with language etc.
They had only just opened when my son started and so were always open to any feedback on how they could change to maximise great results. Unlike other places I have been, they actually acted on the feedback and incorporated it into things that they do, such as talking through what your child has done and eaten that day when you pick them up.
All in all, a brilliant place.

This nursery has so far been brilliant for our son. He was born 3 months prematurely and started at just over a year old. They have been great handling any extra concerns from us as parents and taking things slowly when needed. He has created some fantastic bonds with several members of staff. He has
a truly brilliant time there and he learns so much. We have seen his development improve so much over the last few months. Could not recommend it more.

Happy Days Weston Super Mare is a fantastic nursery. My oldest child has just left to go to school. In the year that she attended she made fantastic relationships with staff and children. She developed her confidence and felt secure and settled every time that she attended. The highly skilled staff
are so caring and knowledgeable about how children learn, and how best to support children’s needs. She has had a fantastic start to school, and the care and support she received at Happy Days has certainly contributed to this.
My youngest daughter is currently in the toddler room. She started during lockdown and despite being at home for the entirety of her first year, settled quickly and made great relationships with her key workers. She loves attending and getting stuck into all the wonderful activities they provide.
We are very happy with the nursery experience our children have received and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Thank you, Michelle - what a wonderful review! We wish your eldest all the best as she starts a new chapter of adventure and learning.

My little girl has been attending this nursery since she was fourteen months old for four full days a week and she is now three and a half years old. She settled in very well and made new friends straight away. All the resources available are amazing and there is plenty of toys to choose from. After
the transition to the ‘older room’ everyone made sure she was comfortable and settled in. She became very independent with the help of the staff. The activities she has every day are amazing, with something different to do every day. The food that is being provided is cooked on site and meals are always finished! During the pandemic everyone provided an excellent service and great support to both children and parents. I would highly recommend the nursery for all parents.

My child is relatively new to nursery but even in such a short time I highly recommend. The staff are so kind with my son and attend to his needs as an individual. With the social isolation of lockdown, they have helped him to develop his social skills no end. He always comes home with a smile on his
face and thoroughly worn out from all the activities on offer.
The menu that they offer is also excellent. Thank you all for your care.

We viewed three nurseries when choosing one for our son who had just turned two at the time and this one gave us all the feels. The staff have been incredible with helping our boy settle in, as he was very quiet and subdued at the beginning. He's completely out of his shell now and made so many friends
who he talks about constantly. Being a July baby, we were slightly worried that he might not be ready for school in September but due to the wonderful environment of the nursery, where he's been able to learn plenty, socialise well and prepare for school life, we now feel that he'll be more than ready. Can't thank the team enough for all they've done, especially through these trialing times.

This nursery has done a fabulous job with my overly clingy daughter, within the first three settling in sessions she was settled and waving me off smiling. She has come on leaps and bounds in such a short amount of time, I couldn't recommend this nursery any more. All staff are so lovely. All round,
a fabulous nursery.

We chose Happy Days initially due to the convenient location and opening hours for my commute to work. Our daughter started a few months after they opened when she was around 10 months old and she’ll soon be three. She has a whale of a time there, absolutely loving the environment and those that care
for her. The team are incredibly supportive, not only of the children but of the parents too - I’ve received many a word of encouragement when they’ve sensed I’ve needed it! Certainly, this last year has thrown a whole host of challenges at all of us and the team at Happy Days have clearly continued to have the children’s best interests at heart and we are delighted that our daughter is able to feel so safe and secure in this fun and educational environment. We recommend them wholeheartedly.

Happy Days Weston is the most fantastic nursery. My daughter loves attending and adores the team. From day one I have been impressed by all areas- activities, learning, play, meals and progress reports. The nursery has that family feel and all the staff are friendly, professional and welcoming. The
smile on my little girl's face when she walks in says it all. She is learning so much from the setting and I honestly cannot praise and thank the team enough.

As soon as we had a tour of Happy Days we knew that this was the Nursery that we wanted to send our daughter to. From the moment we walked in back in March last year we could see the warmth and caring personalities of the staff, the fantastic learning environments and the excellent knowledge of the
early years. Since starting nursery in September the staff have gone above and beyond to help our daughter settle in and she absolutely loves going to nursery. It is lovely to see how all the staff know your children and can comment on something they have accomplished, a new word, eaten something different or even what mischief she had been up to! The staff are such a caring team and have been so supportive of our family and how welcoming they are when we were able to return. They have exceeded all expectations with how they have dealt with the challenging situations they have faced during the pandemic and I feel our child could not be in safer hands whilst we are working. Thank you all!

The staff here have been warm and welcoming to both our children, one of which is now at school. It will be good to get back to having a chat at the end of the day when lockdown ends! The team have been good dealing with initial reluctance in the morning, as well as conflict when it happened. I feel
the team has coped well with the lockdown, and are making the day as normal as possible for the kids.

What a fabulous nursery! We viewed the nursery when my daughter was just a few months old when it first opened and knew straight away that this was the best place for her. The setting and staff are absolutely amazing and they’re constantly looking at ways to make things even better. My daughter loves
coming here and her daily feedback is always so positive. I never hesitate to recommend Happy Days and I’ll be sad when she has to leave to start school.

I was really nervous sending my son to the nursery at 11 months old, but as I was returning to full-time work it was needed. Of all the nurseries I looked at Happy Days felt the most right. We had just come out of the first lockdown when he was due to start, so he hadn't really been held or looked after
by anyone else. On our initial visit to get him familiar with the environment, he was held by one of the team and walked around the nursery - this was the first time I hadn't seen him cry whilst being held by someone other than me! We had a rough start settling him in as he didn't like to leave me, but Happy Days were brilliant and offered as many settling in sessions as he would need. They were so kind and understanding with the whole process, allowing me to call in the initial days just to check he was ok and reassuring me. He is now settled in perfectly, and absolutely loves his nursery days! Would definitely recommend the team at Weston, they're fab.

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.
