Review from Annemarie G (Mother of Child) published on 19 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I had high expectations when putting my son into this nursery but they have gone over and above those expectations. He is loving it! The staff are amazing and he has so much fun. I love the updates and pictures on the app giving me a little glimpse of his day. I can really see a change in him already with how he can sit and concentrate on an activity and enjoys learning, how he socialises and his confidence has massively improved. Thanks to all staff at Happitots Baillieston.

Overall Experience

Our daughter has been attending Happitots Baillieston for almost two and a half years now and we couldn't have asked for a better nursery to send her to. Our daughter loves going to nursery to see all the teachers and her friends. Every day she surprises us with the new things she has learned. The staff are truly amazing. The children dote on them. We would highly recommend this nursery.

Review from Stacey M (Mother of Child) published on 19 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My 7-month-old has only been at the nursery for a few weeks but I’m so happy with how well she has settled in. My baby is so excited to arrive at the nursery and gives the staff the biggest smiles. They are so good with her and take a real interest in her development. I get daily updates from the app on what she has done and ate that day which is really comforting too.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending Happitots since she turned 2 and had a speech delay. She is now 4 going on 5 and happily talks and has become a better eater since going. All staff are lovely and have never had any issues I will be registering my 1-year-old here as I would love for her to have the same experience.

Overall Experience

Excellent nursery, my daughter has been attending since she was 9 months old. Loves it and has a great relationship with staff and other children. Always accommodating if we have needed to swap a day for childcare reasons and updated on a daily basis. Staff always so friendly and always there to help. Great nursery and my other daughter will be starting as well.

Review from B C (Father of Child) published on 24 January 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The staff at Happitots Bailieston have always been so helpful, encouraging and empathetic. My son and daughter have come from challenging circumstances and all the staff, but especially the Manager and their key workers have been outstanding. Their development since joining in 2022 has been excellent. In particular, my son has made leaps and bounds, really catching up on some delayed outcomes. This is certainly down to the hard work of the staff.

Review from L M (Mother of Child) published on 14 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My child has been at Happitots since one year old. From baby room, toddler and now preschool room, the level of care and attention they receive is outstanding! All of the nursery practitioners are focused on the child’s well-being, learning and development. My child is very happy here and has made some great connections. There are so many activities going on from dancing, painting and story time.
I’m really happy with the relationship that my child has with the teachers and I appreciate their time and help too.
They have a large garden at the back, the rooms are very big and the nursery is always clean.
Management is very approachable and very kind too.
Newsletters are sent out and you will be updated with any party dates, parents' night, and when the photographer will be on site.
The nursery has an app and will be updated with pictures of your child and observation notes.

I would recommend this nursery 100%

Overall Experience

My granddaughter goes to Happitots Nursery and has done since the age of 6 months old, we know she is in great hands with the staff here as they treat the children as if they're their own, I get daily updates on what my granddaughter has done that day and what she's eaten (from a very nutritious home-cooked menu), my family would highly recommend this nursery to everyone, the staff are amazing and so friendly.

Overall Experience

My child attends Happitots Day Nursery Baillieston full time I fully recommend this nursery to any parent. She benefits from Swimming Lessons, Spanish Class and enjoys all areas of the curriculum. She speaks fondly of all her ladies and has gone from being a shy child to a very confident one at pre-school.

Review from J K (Mother of Child) published on 4 November 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I think the nursery is a great place for my son. He's been here from 14 weeks old, and I've always felt at ease leaving him, from the first day of my visit with him. My son has come on leaps and bounds and learned so much since attending the nursery. The staff are amazing and always welcoming and make leaving my child to go to work all that bit easier, wouldn't want my son attending anywhere else.

Both my boys have been in this nursery since they were babies. Would highly recommend this nursery to everyone. The staff are amazing, and the manager is the most amazing women I have ever met, she's a credit to the nursery, and most of all the food that caterer makes is the best food according to my boys.

Review from Kerry F (Mother of Child) published on 4 November 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

In the last four years, my son came to Happitots and loved every day he attended. He learned to swim, enjoyed dance class every week, as well as basics like learning to share and writing his name. My daughter has also attended for the past two years and is now also learning to swim and talk in Spanish. The staff at Happitots go over and above for the children and I'm always happy to leave my children in their care.
