Overall Experience
My daughter loves going to Happitots nursery. The staff are very friendly and caring towards her. The manager is lovely with a positive attitude.

The rate at which my child is developing is amazing and it’s, in a large part, down to the dedication of the nursery staff who look after her, have fun with her and teach her new skills. I am so pleased I chose Happitots because any worries I had about my daughter going into a nursery have evaporated.

I picked up my niece when she was unwell. The staff were very attentive to her as she had a very high temperature. Staff very friendly, going over and above their role to help me by gathering my niece's things together.

Review from Claire O (Mother of Child) published on 17 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have recommended Happitots Bishopbriggs to a couple of friends and will continue to do so. Both of my children attend (currently in pre-school and the baby room) and I'm very happy with the standard of care and nurturing they receive. The staff are all lovely and my boys adore them. All of the staff go above and beyond - even the support staff (e.g. the cook is so lovely and engaging with the children - my eldest is very fond of her). I like the feel of the nursery being in a converted house as it has an atmosphere that is more "homely" and less like a primary school than some of the other nurseries I viewed previously. I have no plans to change where I send my children for their nursery care, and appreciate Happitots being a partnership nursery so that local authority funding can also be used there.

Review from Claire (Mother of Child) published on 15 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I am so happy with my choice of nursery as my daughter has thrived in Happitots. She is three years old, has enjoyed drama and gymnastic classes and is now learning Spanish. The staff are friendly and patient with the children and parents alike. They also know each child's personality and little ways which is amazing with the number of children who attend. I would and do recommend Happitots to any parent looking to place their child in daycare. My daughter is not a great eater, however, she enjoys the food served in Happitots and even asks me to make it. The rooms are always clean, well looked after and have great resources.

Review from Louise L (Mother of Child) published on 15 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both my children have attended Happitots since the baby room and are now in after-school care. I think this length of time is a testament to the quality of care received. The manager is a fantastic leader and the staff are exceptional in all their roles. A varied programme of fun and educational activities is offered making Happitots a home from home environment. The menus are pretty good too! Keep up the good work team Happitots!

Review from Komal S (Mother of Child) published on 15 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both of our children have attended Happitots Bishopbriggs, with our youngest still there. We have always been happy with the care our boys have received and the boys have loved it. The manager and her team do a great job. I really feel they helped prepare our eldest fully for starting school, at which he has thrived, and I can see the work being done daily to prepare our youngest. Great nursery with a lovely attentive manager and staff.

Review from Kathryn F (Mother of Child) published on 15 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have already recommended Happitots Nursery to two of my friends and would to others. I always talk highly of it. My children love going. My daughter has been going since she was a baby. She is always excited when it is a nursery day. Same with my son. I tend to call often to check on my kids and never once do they ever make me feel like I am bothering them. They are always happy to get an update for me. I ask a lot of questions too and they are always willing to take the time to explain or find out the answer. I know all the worker's names and they know me. They always ask how I am doing. It is a very friendly nursery and so happy with my decision to send my kids there. It is such a good fit for all of us.

Overall Experience

My son loves the nursery and has great relationships with all of the staff in the nursery. The staff are all friendly and approachable, I recently received some advice and help from staff for encouraging my son to eat better at home which is helping. The staff are very aware that each child is different and I really love the way they adapt their approach depending on the child and their needs.

Overall Experience

I love the nursery. I feel so comfortable putting my son in on the days I am working knowing full well how well he is being looked after. He enjoys it so much himself and is really happy to be there to spend some time with his friends. I’d be lost without the nursery and can’t thank them enough for looking after my son so well.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been going here for 5 months now and I couldn't be happier with the care that she receives. It has made the return to work much easier knowing she is with such caring staff. She has become a very sociable wee girl and I strongly believe that is down to her time at Happitots. It is also really excellent value for money.

Overall Experience

Our son absolutely loves going to nursery at Happitots. The staff are fantastic and we couldn’t be happier. They have all sorts of activities for the children and access to a private garden with bikes, toys and climbing frames. There’s lots of opportunities for the children to take part in extra activities too - like drama and football. The staff are very accommodating and go out of their way to help whenever you need it. I highly recommend Happitots!

Overall Experience

Happitots is a great nursery with fabulous staff who go out of their way for each and every child. You can see that it’s more than just a job for the staff. They genuinely care about the children. My sons love all the meals freshly prepared within the nursery each day. They get to take part in a wide range of activities depending on the room they are in. From music and singing to sports, to learning Spanish and drama. They even get to go to the leisure centre for gymnastics. All that on top of the great stimulation and activities their room has got. We all love this nursery!

Overall Experience

I have two children who attend the nursery. The nursery has helped their development both mentally and socially with a wide range of activities both from the staff and from external sources such as fun, music and movement classes and Spanish lessons. Staff are really helpful and provide a caring environment for my children. Sometimes the hardest part is persuading my youngest to leave!
