Review of Happitots Nursery South Lanarkshire from Nicole M (Mother of Child) published on 9 June 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Happitots has been absolutely phenomenal when it comes to my son, JJ. They update me every day on what he has to eat, tasks he's done and targets he meets. Ashleigh has been really supportive as JJ is on the waiting list for Autism, so she helps me on all of JJ's targets. I can't fault Happitots; they are an incredible team, and I'd recommend the nursery to everyone!

Reply from Jenni McDougall, Operations Project Manager at Happitots Nursery South Lanarkshire

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are delighted to hear that JJ is thriving at Happitots and that you feel well supported by the team.

Its especially lovely to hear that Ashleigh and the nursery team have been able to work closely with you to support JJs individual needs and...

Review of Happitots Nursery Cumbernauld from Dannielle F (Mother of Child) published on 14 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
i have been in connection with the nursery for a number of years. my son and daughter both attend. however my son who is in the pre school room, who is on the neuro pathway, i feel he's been let down, due to the lack of care, communication and lack of understanding of his needs. i feel that he deserves more support and respect. a child who is on neuro pathway should have a care plan that reflects them and there needs. yet however my son hasn't got that. i also feel that staff should have more training and understanding of ASN as this is a wide spectrum. certain staff members have an attitude towards family members and don't take the time to offer feedback. son is due to go to school and it's taken weeks for a meeting to be set up to discuss this matter. the pre school staff are not supportive or helpful. i feel let down and very disappointed in this situation. and my son too.

my daughter who is in toddler room i've no issues or concerns with the staff are brilliant.

Review of Happitots Nursery Cumbernauld from Emma M (Mother of Child) published on 19 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little boy has been going here for just under 1 year and has came on leaps and bounds! Putting him into nursery wasn't something I wanted to do but when I visited Happitots Cumbernauld I knew it was the right decision for him. Only 1 day a week for my little one but it has a huge impact. He is excited about going to nursery in the morning, he usually dances out the lift. The workers who care for Jack are amazing! I feel so safe leaving him there. I absolutely love the wee pictures I come home with, I love the updates on the app during the day so I can keep up with what's happening and I love that when I said we have been practising colours at home the pictures from that day showed they focused on books for learning colours to continue our at home learning. He is now moving into the Toddler Room and has already been doing a book program with them which I know he loves! I can't thank the staff enough for the care, love and attention they show Jack. I am so glad I chose this nursery!xx

Review of Happitots Nursery Cumbernauld from S L (Mother of Child) published on 17 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The staff here are all friendly and informative. Im a first time mum and it was very overwhelming bringing my son to a nursery for the first time when i went back to work but they made the process so easy and nothing was too difficult to sort out. They are flexible when I ask questions. I enjoy the app too which provides updates of when my child eats, sleeps, changes his nappy. I feel he is safe and happy here.

We completely understand how overwhelming it can feel as a first-time mum returning to work, and we're so pleased that the team at the Nursery were able to make the transition as smooth and reassuring as possible for you. Supporting families through...

Review of Happitots Nursery Cumbernauld from A K (Mother of Child) published on 10 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little girl settled in so well in the baby room the the toddler room! The staff have been lovely and so supportive of my little girl and have been helpful in what I'm teaching her at home they are continuing to teach her in nursery. My daughter comes home with a smile and runs into the nursery with a smile. Watching her grow and learn in an amazing environment has been one of the highlights she's being doing so well and has formed attachments to the staff. They have been consistent with feedback and updates on how my daughter gets on in nursery.

Reply from Jenni McDougall, Operations Project Manager at Happitots Nursery Cumbernauld

Thank you so much for sharing such a lovely review. We're delighted to hear how well your little girl has settled into both the baby room and the toddler room, and how happy and confident she is - seeing her arrive and leave with a smile truly means everything to us.

Review of Happitots Nursery Cumbernauld from Louise C (Mother of Child) published on 10 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Happitots was always my 1st and only choice when choosing a nursery for my 2nd child, my daughter.
The staff are inclusive, caring, nurturing, supportive and kind.
They always go out of their way to accommodate the needs of every child in their care.

My daughter has been attending the baby room for a month and loves it. She is well cared for and happy to be there.

Reply from Jenni McDougall, Operations Project Manager at Happitots Nursery Cumbernauld

Thank you so much for your lovely review and for choosing Happitots once again for your daughter it truly means so much to us that we were your first and only choice. Were delighted to hear how happy she is in the baby room and that she has settled in so well after her first month.

Review of Happitots Nursery Cumbernauld from Mahria S (Mother of Child) published on 10 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has been going to hapitots nursery for 6 months now and he absolutely loves it.
The staff are so lovely and welcoming even after a long day, it's insane the amount of work they do but they always have a smile and connections with the kids as my son will mention their names when we're at home.
He's always excited to go in, has all the healthy foods and is encouraged to play with other while also having teachable moments as he's going through his terrible twos.
If he's ever had any accidents or injury I get told about what happened and gives me security that he's happy and safe as it's still hard to have him away from me, but the staff always give me reassurance and I can see how happy they make him.

Overall, me and my son are so appreciative of their professionalism and overall care for their job :)

Review of Happitots Nursery South Lanarkshire from A H (Mother of Child) published on 7 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has been attending Happitots for a year now. He is in the Toddler room. Initially he struggled to settle as he is quite a shy little boy and he only attends 2 half days per week. However, the staff were great with him and within a matter of weeks there was a huge difference in him. He now looks forward to going to nursery and goes in with no issues at all.
He is a much more confident boy now and I believe his nursery environment has played a huge part in that.

The staff working with Noah are always very friendly & helpful. I would definitely recommend Happitots to anyone looking for care for their children.

Reply from Jenni McDougall, Operations Project Manager at Happitots Nursery South Lanarkshire

Review of Happitots Nursery South Lanarkshire from Alina P (Mother of Child) published on 10 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I must say I am delighted with the whole team and the way they help my little daughter since she joined this nursery. I picked up the nursery based on the reviews other parents and I think I made the best decision. She started when she was a baby and the girls had helped her to settle in. Is not easy for a parent to leave their child with someone you don't know but the staff here are absolutely amazing, gentle and kind. My daughter loves going to nursery and she is enjoying it every day and I am more than grateful for the care, devotion and passion that they have with children.

Thank you very much Happitots for giving the reassurance than my little one is having best of care every day.
