Happitots Garrowhill is a wonderful nursery. The staff are so pleasant and have genuine care and concern for your children. My one year old daughter settled in so well. All the staff who have cared for her, three in particular, just to mention a few have been excellent. You get regular updates throughout the day, sometimes including photos, letting you know how your child is doing which really puts you at ease. In addition, they give a good selection of healthy food, fruits and snacks. I would definitely recommend this nursery.

My wee boy is 2yrs and just started going to the nursery only a few months ago and so far, we're happy with the gradual progress he has made in communication and social skills. The staff are very nice and helpful.

My 1 year old has been attending the nursery since January 2025. She only goes 1.5 days but she's built up a brilliant relationship with some of the staff and is full of smiles on drop off and pick up and that's all I can ask for. The updates on the app are great.

Can't fault this nursery. My daughter has been in for the last 6 months and has come on leaps and bounds. She is always so happy to be attending and always has the best day. She has developed a great relationship with a lot of different staff; who are always happy and attentive. All so kind and can tell they care about the job and the kids. Staff are amazing at keeping you updated throughout the day to limit any concerns while working. Any concerns I've ever had have been taken into consideration and dealt with quickly. Overall, a great place that I would definitely choose again.

He is thriving in all aspects of his learning and is more than ready for school which in large is thanks to all the staff.
He is happy and excited to go to nursery every day which as a parent is all you can ask for!
We have already secured a place for our 2nd child for when I return to work!
Can't praise the nursery enough for what they do for my wee girl. She loves every minute of it and makes our lives so much easier that she is happy to go in and allows us to work. Staff are all so kind and clearly care about the kids.
It's such a nice feeling as a parent knowing you're leaving your child in such a happy and safe place while you work. The members of staff in the 2-3 room are amazing with my little girl she has so much fun in nursery and loves coming home and telling us all about her day. The staff are amazing at keeping me updated throughout the day which gives me great peace of mind while I am at work. Thank you for your work ladies.
Very happy I chose Happitots Nursery Garrowhill.
We are so grateful for the wonderful care of our child in the toddler room. The staff are incredibly warm and attentive and they truly go the extra mile. Our child loves going to nursery and always comes home happy and excited. The activities are engaging and educational and the environment is clean and safe. We are so impressed with the progress our child has made.
Thank you for your lovely review, it's wonderful to hear how impressed you are with the team and the nursery environment, thank you for taking the time to write your review from all at Thrive.
Thanks girls.
I can not praise Happitots Garrowhill highly enough, I have had two children attend here, both straight into the preschool room. Firstly the staff are absolutely incredible from all the teachers to cleaners and cooks. Not a day goes past where my current child isn't greeted by smiles and enthusiasm. The communication between staff and parents is second to none, I get regular updates on the app and a conversation to back up what they have done throughout the day. The care and attention to all the kids is second to none. The support both my kids have received with learning, developing, trying new activities/foods etc has been amazing. The nursery itself is always clean and tidy due to the hard work of the staff, every single member of staff is a credit to the nursery, extremely hard working and professional. Would highly recommend here to anyone looking for a local nursery.
Thank you ever so much for your glowing review from the team at Happitots Garrowhill, it's fantastic to hear their hard work is having a huge impact on your two children and your family.
My daughter goes to this nursery and we couldn't be happier, the staff are very friendly and work so hard to provide a wonderful place for kids to attend. My daughter has developed so much since starting here earlier this year I would highly recommend this nursery. Amazing food choices are provided much to my daughter's delight.
Thank you for your lovely review it means the world to us, from all at Happitots Garrowhill part of Thrive Childcare.
I am well impressed with this nursery it's really been brilliant for my grandchild mixing with other children, the staff are really so lovely and caring which makes my grandchild love going there and also how they keep updating parents on how their child is doing while in their care, which I think is fab. Well done to each and every one of them for being so supportive and caring to not just the children but parents also, much appreciated.
Thank you for your lovely review it means the world to us, from all at Happitots Garrowhill part of Thrive Childcare.
My girl attended Happitots Garrowhill for 3 years and absolutely loved it! The staff knew her so well and gave the highest level of care and it showed by how much she loved going each day and how confident she was being around each and every member of the staff! That to me speaks volumes to how much care and attention they give the children in the setting! To know your child is safe happy and content while you are not there means more than anything.
Thank you for your lovely review it means the world to us, from all at Happitots Garrowhill part of Thrive childcare.
My little girl has been attending Happitots since April 2024 and she absolutely loves it! She has come on so much in speech, socialising, independence and confidence! The use of the app is brilliant keeping us updated on our little one's days. The staff are all helpful, supportive and welcoming! They supply a well-balanced and nutritious menu that includes a wide variety of food! I highly recommend this nursery! We couldn't be happier than we are with our choice to have our child attend this nursery!
Thank you for your lovely review it means the world to us and is particularly wonderful to hear your daughter is thriving! From all at Happitots Garrowhill part of Thrive Childcare.
My little one loves Happitots and always comes out having had a fun-filled day. The nursery has improved 1 million per cent since the new staff and the new manager is great. I am always well informed of everything going on in the nursery great communication, the staff are great and always give a great end-of-day report. They are well equipped for any dietary medical needs my child has. The nursery has been brilliant for my wee one and she is thriving there!
Fantastic nursery my grandson loves all the staff, they are so helpful and he has come on heaps and bounds and looks forward to coming to nursery. The staff are amazing with the kids and all the family.
Thank you kindly for your lovely review, from all at Thrive childcare and education.
My son loves Happitots Nursery Garrowhill, the staff are amazing and although we are not allowed inside due to Covid, we are kept up to date with what is happening within the nursery. All of my son's needs are met and he is always happy and smiling going in and coming out of nursery. The staff are all very friendly and they do lots of fun and educational activities with the children. The children spend lots of time outdoors in the nursery garden doing a variety of activities which is great for their health and wellbeing. They also use the local playpark which is great for the children's fitness levels. The nursery encourages independence and encourage the children to be creative. My son loves reading books, sand and water play, making playdoh and exploring various corners in the nursery which are kept clean and change regularly depending on what topic the children are working on. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone in the area looking for an amazing nursery for their child, 10/10!
Thank you for taking the time to leave this fantastic review! We are so delighted to hear that your son is enjoying his time with us at Happitots Garrowhill. Kind Regards, Thrive Childcare.
Happitots Nursery Garrowhill is a fantastic nursery. The staff are lovely and are always welcoming in the morning when we arrive. They always provide a breakdown of the day at pick up and also upload photos/posts to the app. My son loves Happitots - highly recommended!
