About this price
How the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

Since joining the nursery in February, my daughter has thrived in confidence and knowledge and also becoming more and more independent. Every day she will ask me if she’s going to nursery, and she is always so excited to go. The teachers in rooms 3-5 are warm and friendly, and they genuinely care for each child. I know she will be sad to finish for the summer holidays but will be really excited to return in August! Thank you for all your hard work!
Thank you very much for taking to time to leave us a review; we really appreciate your time and comments. Kind regards.

Fantastic nursery, they have great routines, always enjoy healthy lunches and snacks and have a brilliant variety of activities to explore every day. The staff are all lovely and so dedicated to caring for each individual child. My youngest wasn't keen to be away from me at first, but they were so great at working with him and settling him in. Can't recommend it highly enough.

My granddaughter is in the three to five room, she just loves going to nursery and is often upset at the weekends because it's not a nursery day. It's evident that the staff have a fantastic bond with the children in their care and are always friendly and approachable. The children seem so happy and content in the nursery which is a credit to both staff and management for creating such an environment. My granddaughter is forever telling us about how she loves to make playdough, and that gran's playdough isn't the same as nursery's! The garden has lots of different things to play with like a mud kitchen, she is also excited to see the flowers grow from the seeds she planted before the Easter holidays! The castle garden is also a big hit! Happitots Nursery South Lanarkshire have successfully succeeded in washing away our worries about the wee one starting nursery for the first time, so as a family we couldn't thank or recommend the nursery highly enough.
Both my sons are well looked after in the nursery. From the pandemic the safety and cleanliness of the nursery has exceeded my expectations. The staff go over & above to ensure the children are happy and content.

My son has been at Happitots Nursery South Lanarkshire since he was a baby and now going into his last year in August. Staff are amazing with the kids and always approachable when needed, great variety of lunches/snacks. My son was offered a council nursery when he turned 3 but there was no way I could take him away from Happitots he's always happy to go in and that's helped by how welcoming the staff are. Each room has their own garden/outdoor space and staff also take the kids out on walks. My son talks to my family/friends about how much he loves nursery and the most honest answers are from kids so that speaks for itself.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this wonderful review, it's great to read. So glad you and your son are happy at Happitots South Lanarkshire. Warm regards, Thrive Childcare & Education
Couldn't recommend this nursery higher, the staff are all very passionate about their job. All children seemed to really enjoy going. I especially liked the inclusion of male key workers as that's not often seen in these types of settings. My little one has transitioned onto primary school but...
Couldn't recommend this nursery higher, the staff are all very passionate about their job. All children seemed to really enjoy going. I especially liked the inclusion of male key workers as that's not often seen in these types of settings. My little one has transitioned onto primary school but still talks fondly of her days at Happitots Nursery South Lanarkshire.

I can only say positive things about this nursery, choosing a nursery off the back of a pandemic was very difficult from the first point of communication I felt reassured valued and knew instantly my baby would be well looked after. The staff have gone over and above to adapt to make sure I was as involved as I could be. The journals are a fantastic tool for keeping you in the loop of what activities and experiences she is accessing. She had settled very well staff are friendly welcoming and caring. I know she gets the best care. The place is also kept spotless.

We have been clients for a few years now and cannot recommend this establishment highly enough. Our child is on the spectrum and can display challenging behaviour on occasion but it has never been an issue for Happitots Nursery South Lanarkshire whereas it was for others. The staff are kind, empathetic and have taken the time to learn what makes my child happy and included. Also, they have accommodated a very limited diet and encouraged to try new things wherever possible which has, in turn, helped us as parents. The level of care is consistently high throughout, the activities the nursery do are amazing, the outdoor space is safe and super fun for the kids. And they continually strive to keep resources at the best level achievable which ultimately filters down to a much better care package all round for our children. In our view, you cannot get better than Happitots for your children.
Thank you for taking the time to leave this fantastic review! We are delighted to hear that your little one is enjoying their time with us at nursery and will be sure to pass on your kind words to the team. Kind Regards, Thrive Childcare.
My daughter loves her days at the nursery and staff spend quality time with her. They are so organised and have plenty of activities arranged. The building is always open on time and nothing is a problem to the staff. Child loves the food provided and being with her friends.

I have been bringing my granddaughter to the nursery for over a year now. The staff are amazing and can't do enough to help. The lunches and snacks are varied and exciting. The staff use their outdoor space each day and we are often told about her day in nursery and her friends she has played with.

The staff have been fantastic about ensuring I have been informed about how my child's day has been via journal. My child gets excited to go to nursery which puts my mind at ease. Any questions I have, the staff have provided the correct information.
