5 stars isn’t enough Happy Days is hands down the gold standard of nurseries. We couldn’t have asked for better. Paris, Bryony and the whole baby room team completely eased our fears as first-time parents. They gave our boy so much care, fun and support — we saw him grow in confidence every week. Big shout out to Stacey and the admin team too — everything ran smoothly and communication was always kind and clear. You lot made a potentially stressful time feel really easy. If we could have stayed, we would have. We’ll be recommending you to every expecting parent we know in North Bristol. Thank you for being such a special part of our journey.

My daughter started at Happy Days back in May, we could not be happier with how well she settled and how she's been getting on. We've noticed major improvements in her confidence and communication since she joined, and when we saw recently that Happy Days had achieved Outstanding in their Ofsted report, we were impressed (but not surprised). As a former teacher, I understand achieving Outstanding is VERY difficult to do, and this speaks of the incredibly high standards HD has in terms of the staff, facilities and the support offered to families, too. We feel lucky to have our daughter attend a nursery that makes her feel so safe and supported, and one that recognises her individual interests and personality, and lets her explore both in a fun and engaging way. Other honorable mentions: the app is amazing, giving updates through the day. The location is spotlessly clean, has great safeguarding policies, lots of activities for the kids and fantastic staff across the board.

After looking at several nurseries in the Bristol area and not being inspired walking in to Happy Days at Bradley Stoke was like a breath of fresh air. All of the staff are friendly, very welcoming, professional and clearly love what they do. We wanted to find a nursery where our son would not only have fun but also experience new things and learn each day, we certainly have found this here. I can't recommend Happy Days at Bradley Stoke high enough.
