The nursery has great facilities & has a welcoming atmosphere. The staff are always so friendly, greeting us as we enter & leave which adds to the positive experience. Any issues/concerns we may have are dealt with promptly and taken seriously. We love the app that allows us to see how he is doing here - although would love more regular updates. All-in-all it is a lovely nursery & we feel our child is learning a lot. What would make it even better is if there were 'halal' food options.

Our daughter has had the most wonderful care and experience since starting at Happy Days nursery. She has experienced so much from explorative play with sand and animals to a variety of different foods for lunch and dinner. I am so happy to leave her every time as I know that her key workers and all nursery staff have her best interests at heart. I would recommend it to anyone.

My son has been attending Happy Days Nursery & Preschool since he was about 9 months old and is now going to be 4 years old. He has always enjoyed his time at nursery and is always excited to go and see all his friends and all the staff that look after him. Lots of the staff most importantly his key person have always gave him so much of their care, time and attention and always keep us up to date on his day and how he's been whilst at nursery.

So much love for Happy Days Nursery & Preschool! Our daughter, who is now 4, joined Happy Days 2 years ago (after bad experiences at another nursery) and the whole team were so welcoming, thorough, kind and caring from the moment we started our settle sessions. Every member of staff we have spoken to have been happy, joyful, kind, caring and so supportive. Our son, who is now nearly 2, started at around 12 months old. He found being apart from me very challenging at first and it was a really difficult time as I had no choice but to return to work after maternity leave. I had much needed hugs, tear wiping and support from various members of staff and they all bent over backwards to help settle my son into the new routine. I thought he'd never cope with nursery, but now, a year on he walks in smiling and happy (and usually makes a beeline for breakfast!). Our children are happy and they both lean in for cuddles and comfort from the staff, which to me, is the biggest telling factor for how good Happy Days is.

The nursery has been supporting my son, who has autism, and they go above and beyond on their support. He started in April 2024 and the improvements are visible day by day. He enjoys going to the nursery.

I am beyond happy with the choice I made to send my child to Happy Days. From the first visit and look around, I just knew it was the nursery for us! My child is kept safe, cared for and supported. Over the years the care and support has extended to me too, to which I am very grateful for. Nothing is too much trouble- they are amazing at reassuring my parental anxieties. My child absolutely loves going to nursery and has built secure relationships with staff.

I have been really pleased with care given to my daughter and the support given to us as a family when getting used to the world of nurseries. My daughter loves being at nursery, she gets excited about going into the car park which I have no doubt is down to the teams hard work in making her feel safe, nurtured and fun. My daughter has been learning loads and it really is lovely to see her flourishing (which I have no doubt the nursery team contribute to). I feel my daughter is very cared for and safe, even when she's slightly under the weather I know the team are making her feel safe and secure so thank you for that!

Due to me working, Happy Days is really convenient as it's close by. My Daughter enjoys her days there, the staff are so friendly, kind, reliable, and great teachers. I do recommend Happy Days to other friends and family.

Happy Days Derriford is a fantastic nursery. Both of my children are really happy in nursery / pre school and that is down to the staff who are friendly, warm, attentive and professional.

The girls really take time to know my daughter. She has grown in confidence since starting in July 2024. She's happy every morning when I drop her off. The app is updated every day so I know what she has gotten up to for the day.

We love Happy Days! The staff are fantastic, they know every child by name and make us parents feel listened to! My little boy goes in happy every day to spend a session there and is always happy and clean when I pick him up. The team are faultless! The updates via the app throughout the day also help keep the worry away.

My son has been at this nursery for almost a year and I am more than impressed with this facility. I feel at ease dropping my child off and love picking him up seeing him happy. This nursery is so flexible when it comes to settling your child, they did whatever it took to settle my child and reassure me. He looks forward to seeing his key person when he comes into the nursery and has learnt so much since being there. Myself and my partner can go to work feeling at ease that our child is safe and happy.

My daughter has now officially started nursery at Happy Days two mornings a week and Is doing amazingly. When I picked her up today she ran over to me excitedly to show me her painting she had done. As a parent these moments are everything. It is full credit to you how brilliantly my daughter is doing. The settling in sessions were amazing and I feel so lucky we had so many before her official start date. You even tailored the settling in sessions to meet my daughter's needs/naps and preferences. This meant when her first official day came she was comfortable and confident to spend the day with staff she already knew and trusted. One occasion I remember picking her up and seeing her happily sat at the table with the other children. I was completely ecstatic how relaxed she looked and two of your staff members joined in my excitement at how well she was doing. Your staff genuinely care about the children in their care and this is so important to me. You are all the best. Thank you!

Amazing nursery as a 1st time parent choosing the right nursery for your child can come as quite a daunting task. The nursery helped with all nerves and the settling-in process helped both me and my partner feel reassured that our son will be happy and safe at the nursery. When I drop off and see the activities planned for the day it makes me want to stay and have fun! The app is such a good addition that has really helped us feel as if we are at the nursery throughout our son's day! All the staff are so friendly and professional and all know my child by name. Wouldn't want to leave my child anywhere else. Thank you Happy Days for looking after my little man.

My 15-month-old has come on leaps and bounds since joining three months ago. Every time I drop her off, she happily walks away by herself and is always happy when I pick her up. All the staff, including the reception staff, have been brilliant. They always have my child's best interests, making sure her needs are met and also keeping her entertained with songs and activities in the garden. No matter how worried you are, I would highly recommend this nursery.

We have had all our children go to Happy Days Derriford and have been pleased with the care given to our children. The staff are friendly and put the children's needs first. The rooms and outdoor space is inviting and promote learning through play. We have never had an issue but know if we did, we would be listened to and it would be resolved.
