August 23, 2021 at 12:00 amOur little girl has had an absolute blast at Happy Days over the last 3 years. A real home-from-home. Fabulous garden and activities. The staff were very friendly and professional. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and we will be sending our next addition.

September 21, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son attended the preschool at Happy Days Playbox and loved it. The staff were amazing – really caring and always took the time to explain in detail how his day had gone. There were lots of lovely activities and the environment was inviting, stimulating and very clean. The garden area is a great size too. My daughter has just started in the baby room and once again, they have gone above and beyond to help her settle and let us know how she is getting on. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the nursery and preschool to other parents.

November 3, 2022 at 12:00 amAbsolutely brilliant care and service, both my son and daughter love going to Happy Days. Thinking back to lockdown and what the nursery did back in that period for us, it is remarkable. I would have liked to have seen a few more original activities.

December 20, 2022 at 12:00 amI always find the nursery and the staff excellent. I feel totally at ease leaving my little one and know she is in safe hands. She has grown in confidence, and we recognise the importance of nursery in her development and are so pleased we found Playbox.

April 25, 2023 at 12:00 amOur two little ones started in January and have settled in so well. The team are brilliant, you can clearly see how much they love their jobs and care about the children. We’ve had a lot of change with moving house to a new city and they’ve provided support, flexibility and genuine care about how we all are. They’ve also been incredibly supportive with allergies and providing well-rounded alternatives. Couldn’t be happier with Happy Days Nursery & Preschool – Playbox, what a wonderful nursery and team.

April 25, 2023 at 12:00 amI can’t rate this nursery enough. The staff are amazing, they take so much interest in my daughter. My daughter loves nursery and it has helped her thrive. I will miss bringing her along to nursery once she starts school.

Would highly recommend.

April 26, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been attending the nursery for nearly a year and I cannot be happier with the improvement I’ve seen in her. She’s more confident, able to express her emotions and generally happier since going to the nursery.
The staff are all excellent and I have every confidence leaving my child in their care. I highly recommend this nursery to parents.

My daughter thoroughly enjoys her time here and we look forward to many more good times ahead. Thank you to all the staff at Happy Days Nursery & Preschool – Playbox you are a credit.

April 26, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son has settled in very well and I love how all the staff know him. We have good communication with his key worker and I can chat to her each day about anything that has cropped up or what he is enjoying at home for example.

April 26, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son really enjoys Happy Days Nursery. All the practitioners are lovely and friendly.
The menu seems great and it changes every few months so it’s nice that he gets a variety of meals.
The facilities are great, with the ability to go outside on the deck or outside in the garden. The handover sheet is useful too. Also super helpful that can drop off at 7.30 am.

April 26, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son loves going to nursery and really enjoys himself. The nursery is helping him get ready to go to school in September which is great. The staff are wonderful at encouraging him with where he is at and his confidence has grown.

April 26, 2023 at 12:00 amHappy Days Playbox provides my child with a safe and happy environment in which to thrive. She is always happy to be dropped off and will happily go to all members of staff. This is down to the hard work and enthusiasm of every member of staff. They all know her by name, even if they are not in her room, and also the names of other members of our family which helps to create a smooth transition between home and nursery. My daughter has an allergy which again all members of staff are aware of and I’m extremely happy with the care and safeguarding which the nursery put in place. All in all we are so happy with Playbox and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it as a brilliant and caring place to send your child.

June 5, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son started with Playbox in January, very shy and nervous of new people and new places and got upset about being left at the start.
He is now absolutely thriving, really come out of his shell, his confidence grows each week, and after every session, he leaves with a beaming smile after enjoying his day – and that is all because of the lovely practitioners.
All of the staff are incredible, so friendly and genuinely care about each child. They all know my son by name whether they’re in his room or not which really gives a personal touch.
I have just had a baby daughter and will not hesitate about sending her to Playbox when the time comes too!

July 19, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter has had excellent care at Happy Days Nursery & Preschool – Playbox. She is always excited to attend and talks happily about the staff and other children. She comes home singing lots of songs that I have never heard- sing and sign is definitely formative activity for her. I’m impressed that at 2 she can already sing the alphabet song despite not having done this at home with us. Always a great variety of activities listed on her card each day and I’m confident my daughter is well nourished there also. We definitely think that Happy Days Nursery & Preschool – Playbox has benefitted our little girl’s development as a little person overall.
