Happy Days Nursery & Preschool - Exeter

The nursery were able to accommodate my daughter very last minute, they were supportive and understanding. They made a very stressful time that little bit better. It was a huge relief for us that she was able to move into such a caring environment. She went in happy and came out happy, and had a wonderful time. We are incredibly pleased with the service they provide and would highly recommend it to anyone that is looking for a nursery. It is a great place to see your little one learn and grow.

Our son has attended Happy Days Nursery & Preschool – Exeter since he was twelve months old and has been so happy there. He is really thriving and we are so grateful for all the fun daily activities with learning and developing through play. He has been taught to describe his emotions (good and bad) which he now does regularly at home. We notice all sorts of things which he has learnt at nursery relating to the natural world, starting to recognise numbers and letters etc. Most recently he has started to understand death following the death of the queen and the way this was explained to him was extremely helpful and we have used it since.
Thank you for taking such good care of him and we look forward to his brother joining him at Happy Days in the new year.

Very happy with Happy Days Exeter. Our little one’s progress is impressive, we can see them grow and learn every day as they are singing songs and writing letters at home, demonstrating all the learning they do at nursery/ pre-school. Staff are lovely and caring and despite some staff changes, provision of care and kindness has been absolutely constant. We receive regular weekly email updates which are a great way of getting an insight into what the kids have been up to and how the curriculum is achieved. We feel management is very involved and interested in each child’s development, in addition to the key person and room staff, they also clearly know our little one and their progress. We are also a big fan of the lending library – we have been taking a new book home almost every day since it was started! Would definitely recommend the nursery.

The nursery is amazing and has helped my son become confident and independent. It has really meant a lot to us and we cant thank the nursery staff enough! Dietary needs are catered to and we feel safe knowing he hasnt everything hes needs.

My two-year-old daughter has been going to Happy Days Nursery & Preschool Exeter for a year now. The staff are all very supportive and friendly and my daughter has built a trusting relationship with them. The chef is excellent and the food is fresh and healthy. The staff turnover is not bad in comparison to other nurseries and the good staff retention rate allows the child to have a sense of continuity. The facilities are clean and well-thought-out for educational activities and easier integration when the child moves up to another room. The nursery provides detailed reports about the children’s development in light of their curriculum. The communication has the potential to improve and I am aware they are now working on a new app which will be great to keep parents up-to-date. Management follows my daughter’s individual development closely and provides valuable guidance. They also hold events which give me the opportunity to observe how my daughter interacts with staff and the environment.

All staff members are always welcoming, friendly and warm. We feel that both children are really well looked after. We like the feedback and understand what they have done/played and eaten. The outdoor area is great and our kids love it. Communication through email is great and the kid’s reports are also nice to have.

Happy Days are absolutely fantastic! The staff are always so welcoming and friendly and no question is too big or small. My son has come on leaps and bounds since starting in September. My son wears a prosthetic leg, uses a walker and struggles with speech and they’ve catered to all of his needs impeccably and help him in whichever way possible. My son is doing amazingly with his prosthetic and one of the reasons why is because of this nursery, the manager and staff are just brilliant. The manager and staff have regular meetings and catch up with me about my son and how he is getting on or if anything extra needs to be put in place to help my son more. My son is always bringing home pictures, paintings, photos and cards which is great to see what he has been doing and a lovely keepsake. The nursery is always clean/presented well and the indoor and outdoor spaces are amazing and well-equipped for children to play and learn. 1000% highly recommend this nursery and this goes without saying.

I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the exceptional care provided by this nursery. They have exceeded all my expectations, and I feel fortunate to have found such a nurturing place for my daughter. I wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to all parents seeking a safe, stimulating, and loving environment for their little ones.

Daughter joined nursery from the age of 7 months. Now just over 20 months old. Nursery has been amazing in supporting not only her social development but also helping us in supporting her educational development. Staff are friendly and professional and have been a tremendous help.
Thank you.

I cannot thank Happy Days enough for helping us settle our daughter into nursery. They have been supportive from day 1.
Both my daughter and I struggled with separation anxiety which made drop-offs hard for us both. However with the patience and support of staff, my daughter loves her days at nursery. She gets excited as soon as we pull into the car park and runs in to see the staff which helps relieve the anxiety I feel leaving her.
Our journey with Happy Days to date has been a positive one. Thank you.
