What parents have to say

We have had a fantastic experience with Happy Days. All the staff are friendly, caring, and really seem to love what they do. Our child settles in quickly and looks forward to seeing the nursery leaders and her friends. She always has a great day and loves the food. It’s been really lovely seeing her form relationships. She will miss her friends and all the staff. We would recommend Happy Days to anyone.
5
The best environment for children. The staff have all been a part of my son’s journey. He’s now an amazing little boy who is looking forward to big school. They have given him the confidence he needed and have been patient with him when he’s found things hard. Truly amazing.

Both my children have attended Happy Days in Summercourt and the wonderful staff have helped them grow emotionally and physically. The staff are warm, friendly, and enthusiastic, and consistent with the care they provide. The site is a great central location, with lots of parking. The children’s rooms have lots of toys and regular activities. The staff are flexible to the individual needs and interests of each child: quite simply the place is awesome!

My daughter loves nursery, she didn’t at the start but with the settling-in hours she was able to gain trust with the staff and now loves it! Thank you so much you have changed our little baby into a little girl!

We recently completed our settling in sessions and to say I was slightly anxious would be an understatement. The staff handled my Mum worries perfectly. I feel like our son is safe and thriving at nursery. We are so pleased with our choice to place him at Happy Days Nursery & Preschool.
5
This is a brilliant nursery where my child has thrived and developed so well. The team are amazing and we couldn’t ask for better. As a child who was initially reserved and likes routine, the nursery have helped him come out of his shell and have routines he can follow and has become used to. Couldn’t recommend this setting enough!

I have always found the staff friendly, approachable, kind and caring. Both of my children have attended the nursery one now starting school, but every time he revisits with me they always make an effort with him and include him still. Shows how lovely and thoughtful they are. The activities they put on are fantastic and my daughter really does love going to nursery. There is always something fun, interactive and new for her to do. The ladies, staff and management at Summercourt are fantastic and my daughter always has a great day. Thank you.

Just over a week to go until Rainbow Run 2025 and today we had the pleasure of attending the Sponsor Welcome Morning at RAF St. Mawgan, in preparation for the big day! 🌈 Happy Days are proud to be sponsoring the Yellow Paint Station for the 7th year running, to support Children's Hospice South West and the incredible work they do for children with life-limiting conditions. Last year, Rainbow Run raised a record-breaking £114,000, smashing the usual £80,000 target and we’d love to help beat that again this year. 💛 Every £20 donated provides 1 hour of vital care to a child and their family. If you can, please support our fundraising efforts here: 👉 https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/happy-days-nurseries Let’s make Rainbow Run 2025 the biggest, brightest, and boldest one yet!Read moreRead less

Our new and improved Lending Library at Happy Days Truro City! 📖 Our Lending Library is all about nurturing a love for books and reading from the very start. It’s packed with a wonderful selection of stories, from timeless classics to colourful, engaging picture books perfect for sharing at home. Here’s how it works: 🌿 Children can choose a book to borrow and bring home. 🌿 Enjoy cosy reading time together as a family. 🌿 Bring the book back and swap it for a new adventure! We know how important early literacy is, and we want to make it easy (and fun!) for families to dive into the joy of reading. Our Lending Library helps build language skills, sparks imagination, and encourages a lifelong love of books. 🫶 ~ Happy Days Nursery, Truro CityRead moreRead less
