Smiley Stars Nursery - Pollokshaws

from Daniel S (Father of Child) published on 27 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started at this nursery when he was 11 months old and attended till he was 2years 8months only leaving as we are moving house. During that time he has developed from a baby into an intelligent little boy.


This is largely due to the talented and kind staff which have a genuine care and love

towards the children.


My son always enjoys going to nursery as there are always so many activities which are fun and educational.


It will be so sad for Alex to leave but the memories and love of the staff will stay with him as he continues through life.

My son attends Crosshill and we couldn't be happier with the nursery.

Both of my daughters have attended smiley stars nursery in mansewood and I couldn't recommend it highly enough. The staff are caring and kind and my children have developed lovely relationships with key members of the team. The management team are helpful and very responsive and have a good understanding
of the complexities of family life. The environment is lovely with outdoor space that has been converted for use in any weather. The team also try to take the children out to local green spaces when they can.
The team have really helped to my eldest daughter adjust to having a younger sibling and have been a great source of stability for our family. They also did a great job preparing my eldest for school and supporting the transition.
Overall, smiley stars is a great nursery and I would highly recommend it.

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.

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

little one's learning, confidence, and social skills. The team makes sure to engage each child in meaningful activities and learning experiences tailored to their needs and interests. They regularly share updates, observations, and lovely photos that let us see just how much our child is enjoying and benefiting from their time there.


A big thank you to everyone at Smiley Stars Pollokshaws for creating such a nurturing, fun, and educational environment. Highly recommended to any parent looking for a caring and supportive nursery!
