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.

Very happy with my child's progress (speech, social skills) and independence, she is happy to go to nursery with no anxiety of me leaving. Always happy when getting collected, kept very well informed by key worker. Very happy.

They fill both me and her parents with great confidence when leaving my niece in their hands as I know that I am leaving her happy and in a safe environment.
My nephew (3) has been attending Happitots nursery for several years now and I am very satisfied with the learning that takes place there. The staff are always polite and welcoming and I could not be happier with the care that they give him.

It is a great nursery. A staff is friendly and always willing to help. Children have many attractions and options to play.

Since our daughter joined this nursery she has come on leaps and bounds. The staff are what makes this nursery with their positive attitude and their desire to help with whatever obstacle your child could be met with. They go above and beyond expectations.

Happitots provides high-quality childcare in a fun and exciting environment. Since joining the nursery, my son has developed in so many ways. He is more confident and looks forward to going into nursery every day.

I have recommended the nursery to everyone that I know and in the future, I would only consider this nursery for my younger child even although we live 20 minutes away

My daughter started in the babies class last summer, she was still crawling and that was really the bulk of her ability. I was so nervous leaving her while studying at the enjoining college but it's been the best thing I've ever done. She has come on leaps and bounds, not only physically but mentally. The amount of language she speaks for her age, she counts to 11 she can say (sing) her full alphabet, she engages with staff and other kids and it's so amazing to see and makes me so proud when I read her journal. She will be moving on after summer into the toddler class and I can't wait to see her grow and become more confident and make more friends
This is the best nursery my daughter has ever attended. The staff care so much about every child and work individually to their full potential and do such a wide range of activities with them. They have moulded my daughter into a confident little girl who will happily share and play with others...
This is the best nursery my daughter has ever attended. The staff care so much about every child and work individually to their full potential and do such a wide range of activities with them. They have moulded my daughter into a confident little girl who will happily share and play with others when she previously struggled with that. There has never been a day where she hasn't wanted to go to nursery and that itself speaks volumes.
Both my sons have been attending Happitots since August 2016 and they both really enjoy it. The staff are very friendly and always keep me up to date with everything that's happening. Highly recommend this nursery.

My son has settled into Happitots SLC so well due to such lovely people working there. He has come on in leaps and bounds in his numeracy, colours, shapes and animals etc. He has gained lots of confidence with regards to playing with other children and learning to share with them. He regularly talks to me at home about the friends he has made and also the staff in the Toddler Room. I also think it's a great benefit having access to the Learning Journal which I log on to several times a week to have a look at what activities he has been doing that week and this is always documented by pictures which is lovely to see. He really enjoys going into nursery and this means I can go and study knowing I have left my little boy in safe hands and in a lovely environment that he can continue to learn and have fun. Thanks again to all the staff at Happitots.

My son has attended Happitots Nursery at South Lanarkshire college since he was around 18 months. Throughout his time here, he has developed further than both myself and his father could have imagined. During his third year attending the nursery, he was diagnosed with ASD. This came as no surprise as I had suspected this since he was 6 months old. My praise to the staff at this nursery cannot be put into words. I had been back and forth to my G.P. and (numerous) health visitors crying out for answers but to no avail. Then Happitots stepped in. The manager and all staff have consistently, time and time again, went above and beyond their job roles to care for and support my son. They have nurtured and encouraged him to develop and progress, so much so, that he now has an ASD base placement for beginning school in August. I owe my son's future to every single member of staff. They don't do this job for their paycheck, they do it through their passion and to make a difference.
Amazing nursery. My son loves it and has come on so much. Staff are so friendly and kids are well fed well and looked after. Every time I go into collect my son they are always busy doing activities or playing games. Highly recommend Happitots.

The learning journals that they offer you are even better because you can see what your child has been up to and also see more milestones that we are missing out on when they are attending nursery! Can't thank this nursery enough for what they have done.

I'm a student at SLC and was extremely worried about leaving my 2 year old daughter for such long hours in the day. From the very first day visiting the nursery I felt welcomed and comfortable in their environment. The staff are incredible and took such a personal interest in myself and my daughter. From her settling in day I knew right away that she was going to love it there. I've gone from having an all too clever almost 2 year old to having a ridiculously polite, smart and sociable 26 month old girl, and it's all down to this nursery - there isn't a day that goes by that my daughter doesn't learn something new. I especially love the online journal and daily diary sheets that keep me up to date on how she has been.
SLC is out the way of where I live but next year it will be my first choice college again purely so my daughter can continue her place at this amazing nursery.
My daughter has improved leaps and bounds since joining this nursery. Staff are very caring and considerate and couldn't ask for better staff. They always keep us informed of anything that is going on with my daughter. She talks about nursery all the time and enjoys her time here.

We're very happy with all the nursery staff. They are very helpful, communicative and are always open to listen to suggestions and feedback. The staff that have been working with my child are capable, professional and very patient, but overall I can see how they love and enjoy their job, always...
We're absolutely happy with the nursery and I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a very professional and qualify establishment to look after your kids while you're in work or studying.
