To convert the quadratic equation \( y = (x + 5)^2 + 1 \) from vertex form to standard form, we start by expanding the expression.

1. Expand \( (x + 5)^2 \):

\[
(x + 5)^2 = x^2 + 10x + 25
\]

2. Now, substitute this back into the original equation:

\[
y = x^2 + 10x + 25 + 1
\]

3. Combine like terms:

\[
y = x^2 + 10x + 26
\]

Thus, the standard form of the quadratic equation is:

\[
y = x^2 + 10x + 26
\]
