The nursery as a whole has been amazing from start to finish. The staff have been brilliant at bringing my son out of his shell as he was so shy to start with. My son loves nursery and will miss it when he goes to school.

Review from Damian K (Father of Child) published on 29 May 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter currently attends Happitots Nursery. She loves her nursery days and she's very excited to see her peers and members of staff. The whole team at Happitots are welcoming and very friendly yet professional. Happitots Nursery has a journal that can be accessed online where I can find and see
my daughter's achievements on nursery days. Language, social and physical competencies are developed every day, which I am more than happy to see. Very important point is that the nursery manager is always more than happy to help with anything that is related to your child. I could not be happier with any other nursery.

I have used Happitots service for one year now and I'm super happy at the care and services they provide.
My other daughter who is now 11 years old, attended too when she was a toddler. The girls still remember us. I think it's a lovely nursery.

Me and my daughter are very satisfied with this nursery! The staff are very friendly and helpful! My daughter is spending her second year here and she is running in to the room every morning. She has learned so much here and I can see her development every day.
She will be back next year too.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All three of my grandsons have attended this nursery. The staff are so dedicated, caring, professional and approachable. They develop relationships with the children and their families. That gives you peace of mind that you are leaving your little one in the best possible place. My grandchildren go
in happy and don't want to leave at the end of the day. The atmosphere in the nursery is warm, welcoming. A fantastic nursery.

Really happy with the service Happitots offers. The girls are always really smiley when I drop my 2-year-old off. My son enjoys coming to nursery and I feel confident leaving him in the nursery's care.

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.
