Love it, love, love it and so does my son. He always comes home so happy and loves arriving in the morning. He is learning so much every week. Everything is so clean and safe. The outside play area is his favourite place.

Our four year old son started at Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Lyde Green in 2020 after being with a childminder for three years. All of my worries and anxieties about transitioning to preschool were immediately settled when we walked into Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Lyde Green. The staff
are so friendly and welcoming, my son adores going and has learnt so much since he has started. Pre-school is the highlight of his week. We are so happy with the care at Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Lyde Green that we have taken our nineteen month old out of childminding and put her into Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Lyde Green as well. She starts next week and we can’t wait. Thank you for making us feel so welcome and taking such good care of our children it makes going to work a lot easier when you know they are in good hands. Highly recommend this setting.

I have two children currently attending the nursery. A four-year-old and a one-year-old who attend four days a week, nine hours a day. I couldn't be happier with the setting. They both love the place and are excited to go there every morning, the moment the door opens they rush inside and don't look
back. They both really needed some social interactions with other kids their age after the pandemic and this crazy year and they both are doing great, learning, playing, enjoying and making friends. The team is really caring and provide daily reports with the meals of the day and how much the kids have eaten, how many nappies were changed or accidents had and the activities and games that the kids have been involved with. They also do bi-monthly calls to discuss the children progress and raise any concern the parent may have. Overall, I'm absolutely delighted with the nursery and the staff. From the carers who my children are really fond of, the manager, who is an absolute star and the cook who prepares delicious meals that I couldn't make them eat at home.

We cannot fault the care that our daughter gets at Happy Days Nursery - Lyde Green. She had attended another setting for 2 years happily before we moved house. I was very nervous about her relocating as she has a naturally shy disposition.
However, I didn’t need to worry. All the staff at Happy Days
welcomed her with open arms. They made her feel so welcome and valued that she has been happy since day one. Her days are full of lots of fun and exciting activities but she is also given time to play with her new friends in a relaxed environment. She comes home buzzing ready to tell us all about it.
All the staff have also been really reassuring to me as a worried parent and have kept me up to date with her progress.
I would highly recommend Happy Days Nursery - Lyde Green.

We are very happy with how our son is looked after and cared for. He is always doing interesting things and you get a report card each day. It's kept very clean and is well organised. Our son really enjoys all the food and we feel that it is a great environment for him with great modern facilities.
The staff are always welcoming and professional and caring.

We were nervous with our son starting nursery, especially given the circumstances around COVID. However, we have been really impressed with everything so far, and our son has loved it. Our son's key-carer is great, and is really approachable for any questions or queries. Since being at nursery we feel
he has come on massively with how mobile he now is and his communication skills.

My daughter started in March for all of 2 days before lockdown was implemented which was such a shame as just by going 2 day’s we could already see how happy she was and coming out of her shell.
She recently returned in July and we had no worries about her going back, the team kept us very informed
throughout and would often receive a phone call checking in on not just my daughter but the rest of us.
Since returning in July we can see our daughter is thriving, she runs in each morning without so much as looking back. Each evening she’s comes running out extremely happy and excited to tell me about her day or show me what paintings etc she has been up to that day.
The document we receive each evening is very informative and I love reading what she’s been up to and eaten that day. The children always seem to be doing a wide variety of different activities so each day is different.
The staff are also lovely and friendly and my daughter especially talks about one member of staff in particular.

Our daughter absolutely loves Happy Days at Lyde Green. After moving to the area we were eagerly awaiting it's grand opening, so while we waited a space was available at another local nursery. This really helped her adapt to the ethos of Happy Days and its great to see how quickly she's settled into
Lyde Green - especially after lockdown.
The team at Lyde Green are extremely welcoming, caring and very approachable.
We get daily diaries so we know what she's been up to that day and she loves the different activities.
She comes home with anything from paintings, pumpkin seeds planted, tie-dye, rockets, crowns and more.
Her speech has really developed since being back at nursery and she has made some friends which we love hearing about.
The room is free-flow and has a vast range of good quality wooden toys and the outside playground is very impressive.
I would highly recommend Happy Days Lyde Green.

Both my children are at the Happy Days Nursery in Lyde Green and they always come home full of smiles and exciting things to tell me! The staff have been amazing at helping them to settle in and I am so grateful for that.
Knowing that your children are happy and well looked after when you're not around
is such a good feeling. Thank you Happy Days Lyde Green!

Happy Days has been absolutely fantastic for our child. Staff are always welcoming and friendly, from office to classroom to kitchen. All staff are interested in the children and pleased to see them. My son's keyworker has gone above and beyond to ensure he settled and greets him every day with a smile.
Communication is great, we see photo's and have a record daily. The nursery is always clean and toys and resources are inspiring no cheap plastic.

My son bounds in every morning and comes out grinning proudly holding his latest creation. I couldn’t be happier with Happy Days. Great team who genuinely care about children and put them first always.

We cannot express enough how wonderful the nursery and staff are at Happy Days. Our daughter started there briefly in March but we were then interrupted by the lockdown. I was nervous about settling her back into nursery after her being home with us for so long but the carers could not have been more
caring and accommodating.
The feedback we get at the end of every day is fantastic and we look forward to hearing about what she’s been up to all day. I’m always impressed by the number of different activities they do with her (she’s only 1 year old) and we have already seen such a change in her.
All of the staff, but her assigned carer, in particular, show such genuine affection for her and it makes the day so much easier knowing how happy she is there. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.788)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.788) out of 10 for Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Lyde Green 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 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.788 for Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Lyde Green is calculated as follows: ( (239 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 264 Ratings = 4.788

  • 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 - Lyde Green is based on 21 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 21 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.
