September 18, 2024 at 9:20 amAll of the preschool practitioners are remarkable and go above and beyond to ensure the kid thrives in a secure and nurturing setting. 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. My daughter started in September and has done nothing but grow in self‑assurance.

September 25, 2024 at 12:35 amMy daughter started off at 8 months and is now 2 years old and I don’t have any complaints really. The childcare centre team are truly attentive and my daughter is excited every morning to leave for childcare centre. The new manager is so excellent and you can tell she loves the kids. I would suggest this childcare centre for any parent looking for a great childcare setting for their little one. Amazing journey for us!

November 17, 2024 at 3:08 amAll the team are lovely and attentive, including the cook. I can consistently guarantee my little girl comes out of the childcare centre with a full belly and cheerful, telling me all about her day. My little girl has been coming here since she was six months old; she has come on incredible with her development and speech.

December 31, 2024 at 10:50 amThe girls are very welcoming too. The resources and outside space are fabulous for him too. He has come on leaps and bounds since joining this setting. My little boy absolutely loves it here in the 0-2’s room.

January 7, 2025 at 6:16 pmIn that time his speech and vocabulary have improved and he has become much more sociable. He genuinely enjoys childcare centre and doesn’t appear to have separation anxiety. Previously he used to cry when left with other people. He consistently has a fabulous time and talks about his day. I go to work knowing he is secure, cheerful and well cared for. My son has attended Happy Days Nursery & Preschool – Penrice (St Austell) since September 2020.

February 9, 2025 at 11:45 pmMy 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 team and his key worker are so lovely and make you sense right at ease when dropping off. He goes straight to them with no tears!
We adore that on pick up you get a run through of their day and what they have eaten. Always smiles and cheerful 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! Both of my kids have been to Happy days.

February 12, 2025 at 4:55 amFeedback from the practitioners is second to none, very informative and you never sense like you are being rushed out the door. The new app they have introduced is incredible and makes me sense so involved with her discovering and childcare centre journey even when I’m not with them. I wouldn’t want them to go anywhere else. My kid 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.

March 4, 2025 at 6:56 amAlthough one of the larger childcare providers locally, it consistently feels like there is such thought in the education given to the kids. Also extremely reliable and rarely ever an issue with team levels. Penrice Happy Days are extremely accommodating to parents navigating the challenging world of parenting for the first time.

March 20, 2025 at 3:18 pmOur son joined at the beginning of the year and the childcare centre were excellent at comforting him then. Although the team were welcoming, 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 childcare centre 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 development 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. Sadly not for us.

April 1, 2025 at 9:05 pmThe girls are absolutely incredible childcare centre nurses. They are a credit to the childcare centre, and the care and affection they show to our kids are clear to see. We sense confident with the care of our kids and trust them implicitly.
Also very cheerful with the new management of the childcare centre. She is remarkable with the kids and very welcoming to parents/guardians. We have two kids in the explorers room on different days.

April 9, 2025 at 8:15 amThe app is excellent 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. Great team and rigorous systems reassure me that my kid is secure and thoroughly entertained.

April 11, 2025 at 1:09 amMy son has attended since 11-months-old, he loves the childcare centre and team and has progressed in so many areas.
Charlie Brooks
April 12, 2025 at 3:27 amHe settled straight away which is something we really worried about, seeing as his whole life has been lockdowns and masks! Every single member of team that we have come across from the girls in his room, to the chef, to the management have all been so welcoming, supportive and welcoming. Our son gets excited when he realises he’s at childcare centre and consistently comes out with a smile on his face. I am so glad we have found this incredible childcare centre for our one year old boy!

May 28, 2025 at 4:13 amMy boy has thrived since being here! And he loves it. Highly suggest this childcare centre.
One member of team in particular is incredible! But they’re all understanding and super supportive and thanks to them my son is now more verbal and more confident and thriving. Lovely team, couldn’t fault them.
Reese Lawson
June 18, 2025 at 2:28 pmThe team are very compassionate and approachable and have excellent systems and processes in place to ensure the safety of the kids. My son consistently comes home cheerful and content after a enjoyable day. We are very cheerful with our journey, thank you. My son had recently started at Happy Days, I was so nervous and anxious about leaving him for the first time ever however, the team at Penrice were so lovely they made me sense reassured and cared for my son beautifully.
Winter Clarke
June 25, 2025 at 4:57 pmI have found everything relating to new guidelines informative and efficient. I have felt secure taking my kid to childcare centre. I would consistently suggest a childcare centre to any friend, especially Happy Days. The last year my daughter’s childcare centre has been very supportive.

June 27, 2025 at 10:44 pmBoth kids have attended now and they worked really well with my first who was really shy. My second is really confident and loves coming! Brilliant!
