The nursery is fantastic, always very well laid out with toys/activities. Good selection of food at lunch and snack times that my daughter enjoys. Staff are brilliant and my daughter has bonded really well with them. Overall, my daughter really enjoys her time at nursery and doesn't want to come home
most days.

My child has settled in brilliantly to her new surroundings. I was wary at first as she is so young but my mind is at ease every day. I love how you can check on the journal for updates throughout the day.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter loves coming to nursery everyday. The staff are brilliant, the meals provided each day different and full of good things. My daughter has learned so much coming to nursery, and continues to grow and develop each day. I love seeing her learning journal each week on all the things she's done
and learned. It's just brilliant. Glad to have my little girl coming back next year. So many things to try and do, and the encouragement she receives from all the staff is just heart warming.


Thank you so much!

My daughter attended this nursery whilst I was studying at South Lanarkshire College I found all the staff to be kind and nurturing. The nursery is a good learning environment and great resources. I feel my daughter has progressed well since starting and she will miss everyone.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.972)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.972) out of 10 for Happitots Nursery South Lanarkshire is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.972 for Happitots Nursery South Lanarkshire is calculated as follows: ( (175 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 179 Ratings = 4.972
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Happitots Nursery South Lanarkshire is based on 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 75 number of registered child places is 15, which has been reached with 15 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
