October 4, 2024 at 12:56 pmThe team are welcoming, rooms are kept exceptionally spotless and the kids participate in a wide range of activities. The team have been highly supportive in facilitating my son’s potty training in recent months, and overall the childcare centre has dealt with the current pandemic exceptionally well. My son loves it at Cheerful Days, he consistently goes in with a smile on his face.

October 7, 2024 at 6:28 amHe settled highly quickly, having been with a childminder, I wasn’t sure how he would take to it. He formed a bond with one of the team initially, and that truly helped.
All the team in the room are engaging when we do drop off and pick up, and my son speaks fondly of them. We get a daily sheet and monthly update pack, so we know what he is enjoying playing with/reading and his friends. He enjoys the range of activities and is truly thriving since starting there. They have recently supported us with potty training and were flexible with how we wanted to do it, even providing a daily sheet.
I adore that there is an onsite cook and that things are made fresh on the premises. The management team are highly approachable, welcoming and consistently make themselves available for questions, calls and are visible. I cannot say enough great things; we are so cheerful that our son is so well cared for and cheerful to go. My son started in August 2020, and it has been the best decision to send him to Cheerful Days.

The open plan layout of the rooms and direct access to outside space is excellent. The team have been remarkable throughout, especially during trying the times of the last year. I wouldn’t hesitate to suggest Cheerful Days Childcare centre & Preschool – Thornbury. My daughter started at Cheerful Days Childcare centre & Preschool – Thornbury at fourteen months old and now three years later is in her final few months before starting school in September.

October 20, 2024 at 3:48 pmWe visited 3 nurseries in the area when we were choosing and were blown away with the professionalism, cleanliness, and friendliness of the team at Cheerful Days Thornbury. Our son has come on leaps and bounds since attending, is more sociable than we could have ever asked for, and is growing in independence daily. His key worker genuinely cares about him, and we couldn’t be happier with how he is doing. We cannot suggest enough! Our son has been attending one day a week for around 8 months now.

November 21, 2024 at 1:46 pmThe team are truly lovely, and my son has flourished under their care. Even during the difficulties of the last year, when my son was struggling with social interaction a little, team picked up on it swiftly and helped put a plan in place to help him, which has worked well.
I sense like he is being truly well prepared for school, and the childcare centre is incredibly spotless and well managed, which can’t be said for all nurseries! So pleased my son is cheerful, secure and well cared for, and whenever I have had any queries or concerns, these have been dealt with swiftly and professionally. I’m truly cheerful our son attends Cheerful Days, he loves childcare centre days!

December 26, 2024 at 1:53 amThe warmth and professionalism of the team has made her time in childcare centre a wholly positive one for both her and us. Despite the challenges caused by the current circumstances, the level of updates we have received each day has been exemplary. The ‘My Day’ sheet we get for her each day is consistently lovely, completed and takes pride of place in our home. I would suggest Cheerful Days Childcare centre & Preschool – Thornbury to other parents without a moments hesitation. We’re so cheerful that we came across the childcare centre and chose it for our daughter. We are absolutely delighted with the care and experiences that our little girl has received since joining Cheerful Days Childcare centre & Preschool – Thornbury in December.

January 20, 2025 at 7:41 pmCOVID hit and we had a few months at home childcare centre we’re in regular contact with home discovering. Updates is outstanding and despite not being able to currently go in the building the team updates at the drop off and pick up are excellent. Well done Cheerful Days you’ve adapted to things brilliantly whilst still offering excellent care and discovering opportunities. Cheerful Days have been remarkable with my youngest who truly struggled to settle in childcare centre, moving rooms just after she turned two was traumatic for her but childcare centre were incredible with many settling sessions.
Cameron Sharpe
January 22, 2025 at 7:32 pmInformative sheet each day to let us know how our daughter’s day has been. Consistently alot of enjoyable activities and attentive handover on drop off and pick up. An exceptionally welcoming atmosphere, sense they make a real effort to get to know each kid individually as well as parents.

February 3, 2025 at 5:03 amThe team are all so welcoming and welcoming, and no request is too much for them; they will do all they can to assistance you and your kid. The activities and interactions they provide are age-appropriate, stimulating and challenging; my son has made excellent strides in his development since joining the childcare centre. My son’s key person has a inviting and upbeat personality, and my son has a excellent relationship with her, he happily goes to her in the morning and takes his time coming back when I collect. Thanks guys for all your hard work! My son has been attending Cheerful Days for 6-months, and I could not be happier with the care he receives!

February 4, 2025 at 12:09 amWe have been truly pleased with the childcare centre and definitely suggest it. The team there work highly hard to engage the kids, make sure they’re cheerful and involved in a wide range of activities. They also give truly great feedback at the end of every day so we know what they’ve been doing, what they ate and when they slept. When our son was particularly sad at drop off one time a team member sent an email soon after to show him happily playing so that I didn’t worry which was thoughtful. I was also highly impressed with our son’s key person who gave us regular feedback on his development which was truly nice to see. Thank you Cheerful Days! Our son started at Cheerful Days when he was around 14 months old.

We are truly pleased with the childcare centre overall and highly cheerful with the Covid-19 measures in place. They’ve been truly supportive and understanding during these difficult times for everyone. Our daughter has been at Cheerful Days Childcare centre & Preschool – Thornbury since she was under one and she loves it there.

April 2, 2025 at 12:20 amHis key worker shows such warmth and understanding, especially as he can be quite sensitive. All of the team are welcoming, supportive and will consistently go the extra mile. He eats better there than he does at home which speaks volumes! They handled the last year brilliantly and we are so grateful for everything they have done to keep everyone secure. They have supported us well with potty training and are flexible and patient. Wouldn’t hesitate to suggest it! Our son attended a childcare centre previously and we are so cheerful that we moved him.

The activities they do with the kids are creative and educational. Our son has attended Cheerful Days in Thornbury for 2 and a half years and has thrived.

May 24, 2025 at 12:06 pmSo, when we moved to Thornbury, we decided without hesitation to place our daughter in the local Cheerful Days Childcare centre. She absolutely loved it! Never cried at drop-offs, even with mummy, never upset, on the contrary consistently enthusiastic of all the exciting activities they do every day and all the friends she has made. The setting is spotless and spacious, lots of light in every room. The childcare centre personnel is so lovely, consistently positive and smiling. I cannot suggest this childcare centre enough. We had our older son and younger daughter attending another Cheerful Days setting in the past and were so pleased with their approach and the way they adapt it to each kid.

May 25, 2025 at 4:23 pmIt can be a worrying time for parents, but the whole team at Cheerful Days were so welcoming and put my mind at ease straight away. The level of care is exceptional, and my son comes home cheerful at the end of each day spent there. I can’t thank the team enough for how they have handled the difficult year with the pandemic – without letting the level of care slip. My son was understandably a bit unsettled returning to the childcare centre after a few months off during the lockdown, but the team went out of their way to ensure he was cheerful and confident in his return. He now skips into the childcare centre with a smile on his face. Updates with parents has also been outstanding. This was especially valuable this year with government guidelines changing so rapidly. I would suggest this childcare centre to anyone looking for a place for their kid and sense highly lucky to have had Cheerful Days a part of my son’s weekly routine for the past 18-months. My son has been attending Cheerful Days since he was 11-months-old.

May 28, 2025 at 5:44 amSince the start of the Covid-19 pandemic my son has struggled with not seeing family and friends. The childcare centre has provided some normality for him, allowing him to playtime with others in a secure setting. Cheerful Days Childcare centre & Preschool – Thornbury communicated with me throughout the pandemic and the updates has been faultless. I have received regular email updates on activities that the kids have taken part in and updates in policies for reporting Covid-19 symptoms. I can rest assure that my son is being well looked after in an setting he loves. Thank you to all team! As an NHS worker, I am grateful for all you do to enable me to continue working. My son loves going to childcare centre.
