    Thinking back to lockdown and what the childcare centre did back in that period for us, it is remarkable. I would have liked to have seen a few more original activities. Absolutely exceptional care and service, both my son and daughter adore going to Happy Days.

    I sense totally at ease leaving my little one and know she is in secure hands. She has grown in self‑assurance, and we recognise the importance of childcare centre in her development and are so pleased we found Playbox. I consistently find the childcare centre and the team outstanding.

    The team are incredible, they take so much interest in my daughter. My daughter loves childcare centre and it has helped her thrive. I will miss bringing her along to childcare centre once she starts school. I can’t rate this childcare centre enough.

    She is consistently excited to attend and talks happily about the team and other kids. 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 excellent 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. My daughter has had outstanding care at Happy Days Nursery & Preschool – Playbox.

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

    A real home-from-home. Fabulous garden and activities. The team were very welcoming and expert. Wouldn’t hesitate to suggest and we will be sending our next addition. Our little girl has had an absolute blast at Happy Days over the last 3 years.

    They are such a welcoming, compassionate group of people and are led by a terrific leader who brings a sense of calm and control. Our son is really settling in well now and that’s thanks to the excellent team at Playbox. We absolutely adore the team at Happy Days Nursery & Preschool – Playbox!

    She’s more confident, able to express her emotions and generally happier since going to the childcare centre.
    The team are all outstanding and I have every self‑assurance leaving my kid in their care. I highly suggest this childcare centre to parents. My daughter has been attending the childcare centre for nearly a year and I cannot be happier with the improvement I’ve seen in her.

    The childcare centre is helping him get ready to go to school in September which is excellent. The team are fantastic at encouraging him with where he is at and his self‑assurance has grown. My son loves going to childcare centre and really enjoys himself.

    My daughter has been going to this childcare centre since she was eight months old and is now nearly three, and she has come on in leaps and bounds. Always cheerful and communicate very well with parents. Amazing team.

    The team were incredible – really attentive and consistently took the time to explain in detail how his day had gone. There were lots of lovely activities and the setting was inviting, stimulating and very spotless. The garden area is a excellent 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 suggest the childcare centre and preschool to other parents. My son attended the preschool at Happy Days Playbox and loved it.

    He is now absolutely thriving, really come out of his shell, his self‑assurance 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 team are incredible, so welcoming and genuinely care about each kid. 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! My 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.

    Would highly suggest. Absolutely remarkable all round, Happy Days Nursery & Preschool – Playbox is a fantastic childcare centre and all the team have gone above and beyond to settle my daughter in since starting in January 2023.

    The discovering schemes are remarkable, at every opportunity, the kids are outside which I adore. Both my girls (2 years) and (7 months) are incredibly cheerful – they run in every time! We absolutely adore Happy Days Playbox.

    The team are exceptional, you can clearly see how much they adore their jobs and care about the kids. We’ve had a lot of change with moving house to a new city and they’ve provided assistance, 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 fantastic childcare centre and team. Our two little ones started in January and have settled in so well.

    We have great updates 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. My son has settled in very well and I adore how all the team know him.

    I have been to Christmas events and open days and find everyone very supportive and chirpy. My daughter thoroughly enjoys her time here and we look forward to many more great times ahead. Thank you to all the team at Happy Days Nursery & Preschool – Playbox you are a credit. All the team are very welcoming and welcoming.

    She is consistently cheerful to be dropped off and will happily go to all members of team. This is down to the hard work and enthusiasm of every member of team. 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 childcare centre. My daughter has an allergy which again all members of team are aware of and I’m extremely cheerful with the care and safeguarding which the childcare centre put in place. All in all we are so cheerful with Playbox and wouldn’t hesitate to suggest it as a exceptional and attentive place to send your kid. Happy Days Playbox provides my kid with a secure and cheerful setting in which to thrive.
