Very attentive, friendly and informative staff, my daughter loves going here and always asks to go even on her days off. They play a lot outside, weather permitting, and encourage learning activities for the children to get involved in.

We couldn't be happier with Happy Days Nursery. From day one, the manager has been incredibly helpful and welcoming. The nursery itself is bright, airy, and filled with wonderful resources and equipment.
The staff have been so kind and supportive, making the settling-in process as smooth as possible.
We had several weeks of free settling sessions, which really put us and our child at ease. The nursery's app is a fantastic feature, keeping us updated throughout the day with details on meals, nappy changes, and regular photos and observations from their sessions. Additionally, their Facebook community shares even more photos and updates on the fun activities happening with all the children.
All of the staff are lovely and friendly and we are so grateful for the care and attention they provide. We would also like to say an extra thank you to the staff in the toddler room. Highly recommend!

My son has always been anxious in new settings however his transition and time at Happy Days Nursery was smooth sailing and an absolute pleasure.
The staff all got involved to get to know my son, understand his needs and work together to build his confidence.
They have a range of activities set up
each day and went the extra mile to even customise activities according to his interests which helped him to feel comfortable and safe. In just a short space of time, he looked forward to going in every morning.

My little one absolutely loves attending nursery at Happy Days. The staff in Adventurers are incredibly friendly and helpful during the settling-in process, they went above and beyond to ensure that my child was safe and comfortable.

I would 100% recommend Charlton Heights Happy Days Nursery and Pre-School. It's a beautifully clean presented placement with such a lovely atmosphere. My daughter was very emotional when she first started as she found separation with me difficult, the staff at Charlton Heights have helped her overcome
this and my daughter finds them very comforting and warmed to the staff very quickly. She is always so happy whenever I pick her up from her sessions and enjoys telling me what she's been up to and showing me what she has done throughout the day!

My son went to Happy Days since the first day. He was clingy in the first two weeks and always cried when we left. He was the same at the previous nursery and we ended up keeping him home for a while to calm him down. The ladies there (especially one staff member) were super patient and kind to help
him through the settling period. I was impressed by how quickly he settled and started smiling when coming. He now keeps talking about the activities he did with friends and teachers. We do notice positive changes in his behaviour as well. He starts making friends and sharing things. The setting was newly and purposely built so it is very tidy and well organised. We don't need to worry about muddy clothes. We really appreciate your patience, thank you!

My son is a very clingy child but has managed to settle in so nicely. The manager and the staff work so hard to make sure everything is properly cared for and my son is so excited to get ready and go in the mornings.
All the staff are also very good with me, helping me with what I need explaining
more and keeping me updated with all they have done in the day.
Thank you for your help over the last few weeks.

Today I visited the nursery for the stay and play with my grandson, fair to say I was very impressed. I was greeted at the door by the manager who gave me a very warm welcome and showed me down to the room. I was then greeted by the supervisor of the room who gave a tour of the room and took myself
and my grandson to the garden where they had some great activities set up. My grandson loves anything messy and they had planting out, he was in his element, and he loved it. All the staff came and said hello to my grandson which helped him feel at ease, they all had great big smiles on their faces and were happy to answer all my questions. The room itself was very clean and organised, which I loved. And my grandson loved looking at all the toys, he didn't want to go, which made me feel great about sending him to a setting.

Our daughter started at Happy Days a few months ago. She started off quite reserved and would often be upset when we left her in the mornings, though staff reassured us she settled quickly. We've seen such a lovely change in her since that, coming out of her shell and growing in confidence. She also
didn't eat much (if anything) for the first few weeks and now she's enjoying the balanced meals and snacks. The staff always make us feel at ease if our daughter is having an off day, and she speaks highly of them and the friends she's made when she's home. She talks about all the activities she's done, she particularly enjoys painting, playing outdoors, playing in the sand pit and reading books. It's been hugely reassuring for us and we're so glad we chose this nursery!

Happy Days is a fantastic nursery. Staff are kind and attentive to the children and the level of care is exceptional. I have two attending (4 and 2) and both have settled well and continue to gain confidence. For older children, the prep towards school and programme of activities is perfect; balancing
fun with challenge and learning. Teachers from the local primary school visit regularly and meet children to help familiarise them in advance of school.
For little ones, the nursery spends time helping to get settled and familiar with their key worker, while ensuring they get accustomed to being with a range of adults so they become confident at all times. Children always seem happy whenever I drop off/pick up (for the most part, as expected!)
The nursery arranges visits in the local community, with recent trips to the local care home for a sing-song with residents, and the local library for story and song time.
The management team are available and approachable which makes sorting admin really easy.

I recommend happy days. The staff (senco manager, teacher) exceptional always caring and competent. They have gone above and beyond to integrate my son, especially considering his special needs, thanks to their efforts, he is now happy and thriving.
He feels truly comfortable there and is making great
progress thanks to the enriching activities offered. It's a place where I feel completely confident leaving my child. I highly recommend to all families looking for a safe and nurturing environment for their little ones.

The setting is so child-friendly, very clean and the staff are so welcoming, always smiling and eager to help with any concerns or issues I may

We have been so happy with Happy Days Charlton Heights. Our child was a little slow to settle in initially but the support given by the team to make sure she was happy here before starting her hours was way above and beyond what I ever expected. The staff at this nursery are the nicest, kindest people
you will meet. They genuinely care for our child and she has developed lovely relationships with the team, especially her key worker. As if this isn't enough, the facilities are great, she gets to participate in lots of interesting activities, the food menu makes me jealous every day and the nursery always looks spotless (somehow?!).
I would recommend this nursery to anyone, we are so happy we choose Happy Days. I can't imagine a better fit for our family.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.960)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.960) out of 10 for Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Charlton Heights, Bristol is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 46 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 46 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 4.960 for Happy Days Nursery & Pre-School - Charlton Heights, Bristol is calculated as follows: ( (526 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 546 Ratings = 4.96

  • 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 - Charlton Heights, Bristol is based on 46 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 90 number of registered child places is 18, which has been reached with 46 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.
