Review from Gavin F (Father of Child) published on 14 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Mr daughter has been attending this nursery for around a year now and I can 100% see a difference in her confidence, ability to interact with other kids and her development with speech and feelings. The staff are absolutely wonderful, so caring and great with our daughter. It first started that she was upset when being left, but now she runs in the door to see the staff and other friends. The nursery are great at keeping us informed about her care and development within the nursery. We do not require the variable days, but if I was a shift worker this would be a massive bonus. The outside space is amazing, and my daughter loves the walks on the nature trail to see the planes at the airport. I honestly could not pick one fault with the nursery and staff.

My son (3) attends this nursery and has done since he was 11 months old. He amazes me with his vocabulary and I believe nursery has had a positive impact on his development. The staff are always so lovely and they have a great relationship with my son which makes me feel reassured he's in safe hands.

Overall Experience

My son has loved his time at Happitots for over 2 years now. He and I have developed a great relationship with the staff there and we trust them fully. He is always happy to go to nursery and enjoys all the different activities the staff arrange for him and his friends. The flexibility works wonders for us as my husband and I both work different hours/shifts. The staff have always tried their best with any changes or additional days/hours when requested.

Overall Experience

Excellent nursery with caring staff team. Been using this nursery since 2017 with my first child attending from just four months old. He still talks about how much he loved it when we collect his sister who attends now. Every member of the team I've encountered have been amazing with some of the team staying consistent throughout the years, or returning, which is lovely to see and reassuring. The outdoor space is great and I'm told the food is delicious!

Overall Experience

My son is about to turn 3 and has been attending Happitots since he was 9 months old - the team always take such good care of him and he loves his days in nursery. Despite only being in 1 day a week he has built up a great bond with the girls in each room he has been in. He learns something new everyday and always has so much fun. My husband and I can go to work knowing our little one is happy and cared for.

I have used Happitots Glasgow Airport for my two children for several years now and I could not be happier with the care they receive.

Overall Experience

My children have both been attending this nursery (first child since 2022) and absolutely love it! The staff absolutely make the place and are so in tune with the children's needs and can absolutely see how much both my children have come on since attending nursery. Absolutely love how this nursery is a shift worker nursery that caters for so many different careers allowing you not only to maximise the time you get with your children but also to manage the costs better! Such a good nursery gives the children so many valuable experiences.

Review from Kat D (Mother of Child) published on 26 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Happitots Nursery has been a lifeline for my family due to the flexibility of days and early starts. I had initially picked Happitots Glasgow Airport due to this however I quickly realised we had struck gold.
My son has been attending nursery for a little over a year, it’s been wonderful being kept up to date with his milestones and achievements via the app. As a mother, I initially worried how my son would settle in so it was lovely to see how I had absolutely nothing to worry about.
When I collect my son, a carer ensures they inform me how his day has been, what he’s eaten and what they got up to. My son is always happy and smiling when I collect him and often tells me he’s had a fun day.
The carers are nurturing, supportive and very caring. My son has developed loving relationships with all the carers and has a special bond with his key worker.
My son is safe and thriving at nursery.

A fantastic nursery with a fantastic care team.

From my experience, I honestly can’t think of a bad thing to say, staff are absolutely brilliant! Always keeping us parents updated on how our child’s day has gone and what they’ve been up to. Also, what they’ve had to eat and things like that. They have also got an app where they take photos of your child doing activities during that day, usually, which is a great thing. My child loves it, always happy!

We have used Happitots Nursery for a good few years now, and our kids have always been happy to go! The staff are all very welcoming, like a home from home.

I have always felt happy dropping my kids here, knowing that they will be safe and looked after well. They have a great outdoor space and have the kids out most days in the garden or walks on the nature trail.

Lovely staff and good outdoor space.
Child loves it.
Parking can be a bit awkward at peak hours, and the parking area gets muddy when it rains, but I'm aware they're fixing it up very soon.

Great flexibility for scheduling!

Our daughter has been attending this nursery for just over a year now, and absolutely loves it and has learned so much.
The staff are great and so friendly; they know our daughter so well, even though she attends only a few days a month, and she knows them all so well and is comfortable with them all.
The meals and snacks provided are varied, and our daughter always seems to finish everything!

Also, very rare to find somewhere that caters to shift workers, so we’re very grateful for the hard work the staff do to accommodate this and are very flexible with last-minute changes.
