Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a first time mum, I was extremely nervous about putting my daughter into nursery when I was due to go back to work, however, after visiting the nursery and speaking with staff, I felt confident enough to start. We were offered settling in days which were catered to our own needs and as my daughter
struggled, they offered us more time to help settle her in. The girls all took their time to get to know her and are so kind about me calling to check she’s ok.
We’ve been supported by all staff with our daughter's medical needs including allergies and the staff have been great with putting in a care plan and full meal plan for her so she had a varied and healthy diet. I really enjoy the learning journals we get back every day that let me know what activities my daughter has enjoyed and how she’s been throughout the day. I would highly recommend the nursery and wouldn’t hesitate to use Happitots for our next baby.

I can't recommend this nursery highly enough! We moved here from a reputable nursery on a recommendation and we've never looked back! Our son has been here since he was 2 and a half (Sep 2017 ) he absolutely loves it. The outdoor space is fantastic - on our first visit our son wanted to stay and play
outside with his new friends. The staff are brilliant, we have complete confidence that our son's needs are met and more. Any time he has been unwell we have felt like he has been cared for as if it were a family member looking after him. The food is first class and the care is 10 out of 10.

We are so happy with the care our boys receive at Happitots. The staff are so caring and patient, they are the biggest selling point! It is rare to find a nursery with the flexibility to accommodate shift workers, and this has been amazing for us. I love how the nursery has been very allergy aware as
our son has a nut allergy and it can be a worry in some settings.

Our daughter has been with Happitots since she was 6 months old and is now 16 months and absolutely thriving. The staff are fantastic and the services and facilities are amazing. We have been so impressed, I would certainly recommend, as most parents know it's a hard decision to leave your child with
someone else and the staff made it really easy and gave a level of comfort that as a parent you look for.

A great wee nursery. They have looked after and nurtured our three daughters over the past 8 years. The staff are caring and genuine, friendly and approachable. My kids loved all their teachers over the years. Always different activities and documented on their e-diary platform for parents to follow.
Superb garden space right around the nursery.

My son has been attending for the last 15 months since I went back to work - from his first day there my mind was really put to rest, it was so difficult to go back to work but Happitots Glasgow Airport made a difficult situation a lot easier.
All of the staff are amazing, the facilities are great
and there are lots of activities for the kids. Lunches and snacks are healthy and varied too. Our days at nursery are not set and are based around shifts worked - the ability to attend different days each week makes life a lot easier for us. The daily/weekly rate seems high but it is in line with all other private nurseries.

My daughter has attended the nursery since she was 10 months old. Having moved through each of the rooms from babies to preschool. I cannot fault the nursery or staff. All staff are helpful and happy and seem to know my daughter very well. I'm very impressed with the new outdoor layout and she loves
to run around especially checking the plants and bug houses. Any question I've had has always been answered quickly and clearly and my daughter always has a big smile on her face when I collect her.

I cannot fault the nursery at all. My son has been attending Happitots Day Nursery Glasgow Airport since he was 2 years old and he just loves it. I've never had any problems during his time at the nursery it always runs smoothly for myself and for my son. The staff are great, the nursery itself is great
with plenty of space for all the children. The outside area is the biggest I've seen for a nursery playground and my son loves it! The flexibility the nursery gives for shift workers like myself is simply amazing - it really does take the pressure off massively and allows me to be a working mum. So happy that my son still has another year left at Happitots Day Nursery Glasgow Airport before starting school.

Both my sons have attended Happitots from the age of 1. They have both loved being there and have developed a level of confidence that will help them cope when starting school. The staff have always offered support and guidance with their learning and development and were very supportive when going
through the process of potty training and assisting with medical needs. I have always felt reassured leaving my kids in their care and would highly recommend to anyone.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.896)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.896) out of 10 for Happitots Nursery Glasgow Airport is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 50 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 50 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 4.896 for Happitots Nursery Glasgow Airport is calculated as follows: ( (539 Excellents x 5) + (52 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 596 Ratings = 4.896
  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 Glasgow Airport is based on 50 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 91 number of registered child places is 18.2, which has been reached with 50 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.
