Review from M D (Mother of Child) published on 24 March 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Staff are committed, friendly, helpful and supportive. My son has great relationships there and feels incredibly secure and is very happy. He's made some great friendships, now eats a wide range of foods compared to when he started and his speech and understanding has come on in leaps and bounds. Plus
the children are always doing fun activities!

Review from Jill C (Mother of Child) published on 20 December 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This nursery has made my transition from being a full-time mum, to going back to work very easy. The staff are all fantastic and have a great relationship with the kids. The facilities are really geared to each age group. My daughter is constantly entertained and gets to explore lots of different activities
that I probably couldn't offer myself. Her dad and I get an insight to her day through the online learning journals which is a fantastic tool, we get to see what she really enjoys and what she may not be interested in, again geared to each individual child. The ability to change days each week for child care is a huge benefit also. I am a hospital worker and work different shifts every week, this allows me to have my days with her if I am off on certain days, it's not restricted.
All staff are really genuine folk and very approachable. I cannot rate them highly enough. Happitots has made us a very happy family and my daughter is just blossoming here. Thank you, everyone at Happitots.

Review from Angela M (Mother of Child) published on 6 September 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Fantastic day nursery that suits our needs due to location and our shift patterns at work. We can book our son in whatever days we are working as long as we give a months notice. The facilities are great including great gardens where there are lots to amuse the kids. The lunches and snacks are excellent
and sound so tasty! The staff are the best part about the nursery! Lots of friendly faces with the greatest abilities to deal with all age groups of children. We have had children at Happitots for 5 years and built up great relationships with many of them. Absolutely recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Fantastic nursery, second time using this nursery. Staff are all very friendly, helpful and approachable and build a good rapport with both the children and their families. I highly recommend this nursery, especially for shift workers. It has fantastic outside space for each age group, each with their
own playground. The staff provide excellent support to both the children and the parents. I'm so glad I found this nursery.

Review from Carolyn R (Mother of Child) published on 23 June 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I can't put into words how happy I have been with the care my son has received from the staff at Happitots. In fact I don't think of them as staff. They have become friends over the last 5 years. My son started attending when he was 9 months old. I was beating myself up for having to leave my tiny baby
with strangers. From the first meeting with the manager and staff I knew my baby boy would be safe and sound at Happitots. My son has grown into a confident, kind and friendly little boy and I thank the girls and guys from the bottom of my heart for helping make him the little boy he is today. We will both be sad when he leaves in August to start the next part of his journey. However it's with happy memories of the 5 years he has spent with all the amazing staff at Happitots.
Thank you all so much.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have been using this nursery for just over 7 years.
Both my daughters have thoroughly enjoyed their time at Happitots having been there from 9 months up until they started school.
The staff are friendly and caring.
The outside space is fantastic, much better than any other nurseries we viewed.
Would not hesitate to recommend .

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.
