Smiley Stars Nursery (Ibrox & Mansewood) prides itself on providing the highest quality of child care. Staff are qualified to provide a safe and nurturing environment where children can explore indoors and outdoors and are supported to reach their potential.

Each child is an individual that has the right to cuddles, love, developing friendships and experiences that are suited and tailored to their interests and needs. Parents and careers are also involved in the daily planning and are encouraged to take part to help the children.

The nursery and its staff have been so supportive and accommodating to our wee boy. They have been open and receptive to meetings to help his development and have done a great job in keeping us up to date with his progress through messages, photos and other general feedback whenever asked and we really
appreciate the staff and all they have done for us and our wee boy who loves the nursery and staff as well!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending now for 7 months. He enjoys his time at nursery and talks about interactive activities staff have provided eg art, food preparation, water play. The staff are very approachable and friendly. They provide daily feedback and always have a good understanding of my son's individual
needs. They have been very accommodating and supportive when he has struggled with changes in his life such as becoming a big brother and toilet training. Myself and my husband feel very involved in decisions that are made regarding our son. Management are very approachable and are quick to respond with thoughtful replies to any queries. The outdoor space is limited but this is to be expected given the location and the children are taken on trips to local parks when the weather is suitable. The Famly app used by the nursery is excellent. We get instant updates and are able to chat to staff when required.
Reply from Tamara Marashi, Managing Director at Smiley Stars Nursery - CrosshillThank you for taking the time to share your experience.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am absolutely delighted with the care and attention my son receives at this nursery and wouldn't want to send him anywhere else. The learning environment is lovely - warm, welcoming and full of well-planned, engaging experiences that really support children's development.


The staff have such positive

relationships with the children and model language in a really kind, calm and effective way. It's clear they genuinely care about each child as an individual. I really value how well they support children with individual plans and make sure everyone feels included and supported.


They also organise stay and play sessions for parents, which has been a great opportunity to feel involved and see the nursery in action.


The Famly App is extremely useful - I love being able to see photos and updates about my son's day and what he has been learning. It gives real reassurance and helps me feel connected to his nursery life.


I couldn't be happier with Crosshill.

My son has attended Smiley Stars CH for two years now and we couldn't be happier. Our son genuinely loves going every day (to the point I'm mildly offended when he's said no to the offer of a day off with me!).


The staff are all lovely, it's so reassuring as a full time working parent to know that

my child is being cared for by people I like and trust.


Any small issues we have had have been listened to and swiftly resolved.

Reply from Tamara Marashi, Managing Director at Smiley Stars Nursery - CrosshillThank you so much for your lovely words. Your child's safety, experience and learning are of our greatest priorities and I am so glad your child looks forward to coming to nursery - it means everything to the Smiley Stars team.

We've had a wonderful experience with this nursery for our son, Noah. From day one, the staff have been incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely nurturing. It's clear how much care and thought goes into creating such a safe and loving environment. We especially appreciated the real-time updates, which
gave us so much reassurance during the day and made us feel truly connected to Noah's care. The team go above and beyond, and it shows in how happy and settled Noah has been. We couldn't be more grateful and would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a caring and supportive place for their child.

Smiley Stars Nursery - Ibrox

from R N (Guardian of Child) published on 20 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
My Stepchild attended for around 4 months. Overall, I rate the service as unsatisfactory and I will clearly outline reasons why...
Intercom was forever broken which meant parents and kids could be waiting outside for what seemed like forever until finally gaining access.
Negative atmosphere/vibe apon
entering the nursery as if some of the staff (not all may I add!) did not enjoy being there.
Several incidents which took place which in turn, led me to question her level of care whilst in the nursery itself.
Resources such as aprons were not provided at any time, even though they were clearly on display.
Several items we also provided the nursery subsequently went missing on seperate occasions.
Communication between staff also clearly lacking as conflicting info passed over on several occasions regarding food consumtion etc.
Good points: Nice back garden for kids to play outside and small setting, allowing for regular 1-on-1 learning.
Reply from Tamara Marashi, Managing Director at Smiley Stars Nursery - IbroxThank you for your feedback and for highlighting the positive aspects of our garden and 1:1 learning environment. We note this is the 2nd review from the same household. Our intercom system admits one family at a time for safeguarding, this may cause short waits during busy times. The incidents mentioned were shared with the Care Inspectorate, who confirmed there were no concerns. The nature of these incidents was also considered age-appropriate for the child's stage of development. Our experienced team works with care and dedication. Like all of us, staff may occasionally have a day when they're not their usual selves, we continue to support them in upholding high standards of professionalism. Aprons are available during free play, wearing them is always the child's choice. No missing items were reported, but if a bottle was misplaced, we sincerely apologise. We're reviewing food logging to ensure consistency. We value all feedback and remain committed to high-quality, nurturing care.

Overall very dissatisfied with this nursery. Had to make a snap decision to pull my toddler out before end of term due to being very worried about her quality of care at the hands of this nursery. Would strongly advise against enrolling your children here!
Reply from Tamara Marashi, Managing Director at Smiley Stars Nursery - IbroxWe're sorry to hear the parent left feeling disappointed. Their child attended our Ibrox nursery for around 4 months, during which time they requested to increase attendance-something we feel reflects trust in our care. We took their concerns seriously, carried out a full internal review, also seeking guidance from our Care Inspectorate Officer. We are confident that our team acted with professionalism and compassion throughout, and our practices remain in line with regulatory expectations. At Smiley Stars, we pride ourselves on open communication, experienced staff, and a caring, safe environment for every child. While no setting is perfect for everyone, this review does not reflect the wider feedback we receive from families. To any families feeling concerned, please reach out directly or visit us. Our door is always open, happy to talk through how we work, our values, and how we support children to thrive. Thank you to all the families who continue to trust us and support our team.

Our child has been attending Smiley Stars Nursery in Pollokshaws for the past 4 months, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From day one, the staff have been incredibly welcoming, attentive, and genuinely invested in every child's development.


We've seen a noticeable difference in our
