March 28, 2021 at 12:00 amI am so glad we have found this incredible nursery for our one year old boy! He settled straight away which is something we really worried about, seeing as his whole life has been lockdowns and masks! Every single member of staff that we have come across from the girls in his room, to the chef, to the management have all been so welcoming, helpful and friendly. Our son gets excited when he realises he’s at nursery and always comes out with a smile on his face.

April 6, 2021 at 12:00 amThe last year my daughter’s nursery has been very supportive. I have found everything relating to new guidelines informative and efficient. I have felt safe taking my child to nursery. I would always recommend a nursery to any friend, especially Happy Days.

April 10, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son has attended Happy Days Nursery & Preschool – Penrice (St Austell) since September 2020. In that time his speech and vocabulary have improved and he has become much more sociable. He genuinely enjoys nursery and doesn’t appear to have separation anxiety. Previously he used to cry when left with other people. He always has a fabulous time and talks about his day. I go to work knowing he is safe, happy and well cared for.

September 10, 2021 at 12:00 amBrilliant! Both children have attended now and they worked really well with my first who was really shy. My second is really confident and loves coming!

October 3, 2022 at 12:00 amSadly not for us. Our son joined at the beginning of the year and the nursery were great at comforting him then. Although the staff were friendly, our son became understimulated when he got older. There was limited outdoor time, no ride-on toys and he never seemed to have suncream on when we picked him up. We tried to stay because he liked his key workers but wasn’t enough. He became unsettled, rarely napped, and would cry on arrival at the car park. Since moving to a new provider it has only taken 2 weeks to settle. No tears, drastic changes in independence and development; our son is so much happier and we are relieved. We don’t want to do a disservice to the nursery but wanted to provide an honest account. No photos in 8 months and 1 paragraph written for the 6-month review noting very little in terms of progress and development. Claimed to offer a lot but delivered a lot less. We believe this is an organisational issue rather than those who tried to do well by our son.

November 2, 2022 at 12:00 amBoth of my children have been to Happy days. My eldest has just left and gone onto school and still talks about his time there- especially the yummy potatoes!
My 11 month old son really enjoys his mornings. The staff and his key worker are so lovely and make you feel right at ease when dropping off. He goes straight to them with no tears!
We love that on pick up you get a run through of their day and what they have eaten. Always smiles and happy faces when they come home which is all you can ask for!
All members of the Happy Days team quote clearly really care for your babies. Thank you!

April 20, 2023 at 12:00 amWe have two children in the explorers room on different days. The girls are absolutely amazing nursery nurses. They are a credit to the nursery, and the care and affection they show to our children are clear to see. We feel confident with the care of our children and trust them implicitly.
Also very happy with the new management of the nursery. She is fantastic with the children and very welcoming to parents/guardians.

April 20, 2023 at 12:00 amMy little boy absolutely loves it here in the 0-2’s room. The girls are very friendly too. The resources and outside space are fabulous for him too. He has come on leaps and bounds since joining this setting.

July 27, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter started in September and has done nothing but grow in confidence. All of the preschool practitioners are fantastic and go above and beyond to ensure the child thrives in a safe and nurturing environment. My little girl has gone from not saying a word to anyone to being a complete chatterbox, I’m so pleased we chose Happy Days Nursery & Preschool Penrice.

July 27, 2023 at 12:00 amMy child started in September and comes home every day with the biggest smile on their face eager to tell me all the exciting things they have done. Feedback from the practitioners is second to none, very informative and you never feel like you are being rushed out the door. The new app they have introduced is amazing and makes me feel so involved with her learning and nursery experience even when I’m not with them. I wouldn’t want them to go anywhere else.

July 27, 2023 at 12:00 amAmazing experience for us! My daughter started off at 8 months and is now 2 years old and I don’t have any complaints really. The nursery staff are truly caring and my daughter is excited every morning to leave for nursery. The new manager is so great and you can tell she loves the children. I would recommend this nursery for any parent looking for a good childcare setting for their little one.

July 31, 2023 at 12:00 amPenrice Happy Days are extremely accommodating to parents navigating the challenging world of parenting for the first time. Although one of the larger childcare providers locally, it always feels like there is such thought in the education given to the children. Also extremely reliable and rarely ever an issue with staff levels.

August 4, 2023 at 12:00 amLovely staff, couldn’t fault them. My boy has thrived since being here! And he loves it. Highly recommend this nursery.
One member of staff in particular is amazing! But they’re all understanding and super supportive and thanks to them my son is now more verbal and more confident and thriving.

August 7, 2023 at 12:00 amGreat staff and rigorous systems reassure me that my child is safe and thoroughly entertained. The app is great for regular, entertaining updates on my son’s daily routine. I like the way that you can reply/engage with the individualised updates, creating a memory chain.

August 17, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son had recently started at Happy Days, I was so nervous and anxious about leaving him for the first time ever however, the staff at Penrice were so lovely they made me feel reassured and cared for my son beautifully. The staff are very kind and approachable and have great systems and processes in place to ensure the safety of the children. My son always comes home happy and content after a fun day. We are very happy with our experience, thank you.

August 22, 2023 at 12:00 amMy little girl has been coming here since she was six months old; she has come on amazing with her development and speech. All the staff are lovely and caring, including the cook. I can always guarantee my little girl comes out of the nursery with a full belly and happy, telling me all about her day.
