Review from Dawn (Mother of Child) published on 11 July 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This nursery was recommended to me from another nursery that was full and I think that speaks volumes! I Recommend on a daily basis and can not speak highly enough of the staff! The manager is in a league of her own and her influence is noticeable in every staff member. My daughters have both gone to happy tots since 18 months old and I have never once questioned or worried about the nursery. My eldest is now excelling at school and I truly believe that's down to this nursery.

Overall Experience
I have two children who have attended from a young age and my youngest has a year to go. I have always felt comfortable leaving my kids at this nursery and feel that staff really know my children. The two ladies who run the nursery are absolute stars and have bent over backwards to help and accommodate my needs over the years and for that I thank them greatly. They are very flexible which has been a big help to me as I have no local family support The staff member who runs the preschool room is also brilliant and again has worked hard with my son and his key worker to settle him and encourage him. She is always open and honest about everything which I greatly appreciate.

A great nursery with good staff, flexibility, nice environment for the kids to play in.

Very nice place to send the kids very nice staff, my 2 boys go here and I can see a difference in them every day with their talking learning and toilet training. As the oldest boys taken longer with toilet training the staff have been very patient with him so can't thank them enough.

Overall Experience

My son has been attending this nursery from the age of 1. The staff have been exceptional with his care over the last 4 years and helped him to grow into an exceptional young boy. I would highly recommend this nursery to any parents looking to seek a friendly, happy nursery. The staff are caring and helpful and take time to interact with every child. I am so pleased I chose this nursery for my son to attend.

Review from vee m (Mother of Child) published on 7 July 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

As a former nursery nurse I am very fussy about which nursery my children would attend. As a parent, probably more so! Happitots East Kilbride is by far the best nursery I have come across in the town. The staff are excellent and so approachable and friendly! There is a fantastic manager, an asset to the company. My son loves his nursery days and always comes home with stories of all the activities that he partakes in with his friends! I recommend this nursery to all of my friends when they are looking for childcare and will continue to do so even after my son leaves for school!

The care given to my child is second to none. My childs development has improved leaps and bounds. Thanks to the staff at Happitots Nursery. The staff are all so friendly and keep me informed of my childs progress both one on one and with daily online journals. Which I can see pictures of my child taking part in activites. Thank you for all your help and support.

Overall Experience
Both my children have attended this nursery and I could not be happier with the teaching and care that has been provided to my children.
The management team have been very accommodating regarding my work pattern and this has been appreciated greatly.

The members of staff in the nursery are very professional and care about their work which is evident and can be seen by myself when I log in to my daughters personal nursery app.

Overall Experience

I am a first time parent and decided to put my son into Happitots Nursery in East Kilbride while I attended the college adjacent nursery. Putting my son into nursery was a daunting prospect and I wasn't sure what to expect but the staff were amazing not just with me but with my son. He started in the baby room and he was brought out of his shell. He learned to interact and socialise with the other children, he was encouraged to join in the games and use his gross motor skills and encouraged to do things like using his knife and fork while eating meals like we had been teaching him at home. My son has grown to trust the staff and doesn't get upset going to nursery anymore. He's now in the toddler room and settled there without any issues and always has a great time while he's there, so much so that we are putting him in for 5 sessions while I'm at college. The staff have done a brilliant job looking after my son and I can't wait to see how he gets on when he goes back in August.

Overall Experience

I cannot thank the nursery staff enough for looking after my son for the past 2 years!!! He has came on leaps and bounds just by being at Happitots and he has so much more confidence. They have totally prepared him for staring school and we are really sad that he no longer is going to be coming to the nursery.

Review from Kelcie (Mother of Child) published on 29 June 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The nursery and staff are fantastic. My son absolute loves coming into the nursery, and us as parents have loved seeing the milestones he has reached as well as his outgoing personality shining through. It is evident that all the kids in the nursery appear to enjoy their time there too.

We unfortunately are moving my son to a different nursery in September, this is purely to down to location and we are both genuinely heartbroken about it. I would like to mention in particular the staff in the baby room they have been great with not only my son but us as 1st time parents, along with all the other members of staff and management you are great!

Overall Experience

Both my children have attended Happitots South Lanarkshire. My youngest had just finished as she is going to school in August. They have both been really happy at Happitots and have both left confident, happy children. I have been delighted at the care they received over our time at Happitots. The manager and all the staff are fantastic, they know all the children so well. We were sad to say goodbye to Happitots last week after so many good years there. I would recommend it to any other parent looking for a nursery for their child.

Review from Yvonne J M (Mother of Child) published on 29 June 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Kids encouraged to take part in lots of activities and given lots of opportunity to express themselves. Staff are always friendly and give feedback on the children's day at nursery. The kids are always given fresh and healthy foods to eat, my wee boys loves making cards and pictures for seasonal events which take pride of place in my home. It's good have your mind put at rest knowing that your child is well look after and in safe hands.

Overall Experience

My two children have attended Happitots since they were 5 months old they are now 3 years 3 months and 2 years 3 months old. The staff from the nursery have been excellent with me and my two boys. The staff work extremely hard and are approachable which is a great quality. Overall the nursery has helped my boys grow into the beautiful smart caring children they are today. The management of the nursery are a great attribute and are also approachable and very hands on. The food in the nursery is great and has really helped prevent my sons from falling into bad eating habits. The kids are always doing activities and the online journal that the nursery uses allows me to check all their progress.

A real good and well run nursery with great staff and happy children. My daughter looks forward to attending everyday. As the nursery is attached to the college it is extremely convenient and my daughter will remain here even after I've finished college.
