My son and daughter are both receiving wonderful care at Pied Piper. I really couldn't fault the staff, they genuinely care about the kids and want to do what's best for them. My daughter has Down's Syndrome and this can cause some developmental delays but everyone, including management, is so motivated to help her achieve her potential. Working in a nursery looks like a seriously difficult job but you wouldn't know it from the positive attitude of the staff. These people are very well suited to their roles.
We feel very privileged to care for both of your children, and we're so glad to hear that you feel supported. Your daughter is an absolute joy, and watching her grow, learn, and shine in her own unique way is...
They were especially brilliant during our child's recent room transition - really supportive and reassuring, which made a big difference.
We also love how often the children get outside, whether it's playing in the garden, trips to the park, or visits to the local care home. It's such a nice mix of activities and experiences.
Overall, a lovely, caring nursery with a fantastic team.
Thank you for sharing such positive feedback. Were delighted to hear how well your child has settled and that the room transition felt so supportive. Its great to know you value the teams enthusiasm and the variety of experiences we offer. We really appreciate your recommendation.
Her development with speech and learning has significantly progressed since joining the nursery, through sing song activities she has learnt many new words. I get regular updates on the app and enjoy receiving her observation reports from her key worker.
Overall we're so happy with the nursery and the lovely staff are wonderful.

Thank you so much for your lovely review. Were really glad you both enjoyed the Mothers Day Tea it means a lot to the team to hear that it felt special and memorable.
The staff at Pied Piper nursery have fully supported my son's growth and development in every way. The staff are extremely caring, attentive and professional, making sure each child's needs are met. I am grateful for the positive impact they've had on my son's early years and would highly recommend Pied Piper Nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing nursery in the Southside of Glasgow. The facilities are excellent, clean, safe and engaging. I feel this creates a wonderful environment for children to learn through play.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. Were delighted to hear how well your son is thriving and that you feel supported by our team. Creating a caring, engaging environment for children is at the heart of what we do, and your kind words mean a great deal to us.
The staff at Pied Piper are absolutely wonderful. We are so touched at the genuine relationships our little girl seems to have formed with the workers, and the obvious affection that they have for her in return. They create a wonderfully safe, happy and nurturing environment for the kids, where creativity and social skills can naturally flourish. Our child recently had a bit of a medical scare and the staff responded so professionally and empathetically; it made the whole situation much easier for us as parents and really reinforced the confidence that we have in the nursery to care for its children in every scenario. Highly recommended :)

We love Pied Piper - our daughter is so happy there and the staff could not be more attentive and caring. The food is great, communication proactive and detailed, we love the amount of activities and events there are throughout the year and each day for our daughter. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your feedback, we are delighted to hear the experience with Pied Pier has been such a positive one
My son very much enjoys his days at Pied Piper, the staff create such a caring and nurtring atmosphere. He has a key worker who gives regular updates about his progress and development. The nursery app is also useful for getting an insight into daily life at pied pier. The staff recently put on a Christmas Fair on a Saturday and their enthusiam and efforts were much appreciated by all who attended.
Thank you for sharing such lovely feedback. We're delighted your son enjoys his time with us and that our staff, updates, and events make a positive difference. Your appreciation means a lot to the whole team.
My son absolutely loves his nursery, and it's clear how happy and comfortable he feels there. The staff take excellent care of him every single day and always keep us informed if anything isn't right. Knowing this gives me real peace of mind, and I feel completely comfortable and confident leaving my son in their care.
Were so pleased to hear how happy and settled your son feels with us. Thank you for trusting our team and for sharing such thoughtful feedbackit means a lot.
When my daughter started this nursery a few months ago, we were both nervous after some bad experiences elsewhere. From day one, the staff welcomed her with so much care that my worries disappeared. She now has lots of friends and often tells me how "beautiful and kind" her teachers are, which says it all.
The activities are incredible, from French lessons to caterpillars in class, sensory play, literacy, numeracy, and so much more. The variety of food they offer is also impressive, especially for my vegetarian girl, she always has plenty of tasty, healthy options.
Communication is excellent , I always know what she's eaten, what she's been up to, and if I have a question, I get a reply within minutes.
This nursery is truly exceptional. The staff are professional, kind, and welcoming. I couldn't be happier, and I can't wait for my son to join soon too!
Thank you so much for your kind words were thrilled your daughter is enjoying her time with us and feeling so at home. Its lovely to hear how much she values her teachers and the activities. We look forward to welcoming your son soon too!
Our son recently started nursery at Pied Piper. We have found the staff to be very welcoming and attentive. The transition for him was a bit difficult but they made it as easy as possible. We noticed that the nursery has positively impacted in his development.
The team nurtures a welcoming and playful learning environment, and their endless enthusiasm, creativity and motivation would be a credit to any nursery. We’re lucky that our nursery is the one to benefit.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments. It is a pleasure caring for your little one, enabling her to flourish in a rich stimulating environment. We value all our parent's comments and are happy to hear you think so highly of our nursery provision.
Academically she now excels in English, Maths and Science thanks to excellent grounding at your nursery which inspired a strong interest in reading and mathematics. Numerous drama and theme activities provided superb vocal, vocabulary, physical, group, social and team skills. Super art activities instilled a great interest in drawing, colour mixing, exploration, and art creativity.
The staff provided fantastic, regular and specific feedback. It is unusual to see outstanding enthusiasm and engagement from staff in all activities at this nursery, and a pleasure to see employees in any organisation go above and beyond in such a manner.
We thank all staff and management for the wonderfully enhancing, confidence building and learning our daughter received for which you deserve credit and acknowledgement.
We've had an amazing experience in the baby room. Our son was a bit slow to settle into the groove of nursery at first but all the staff made such a big effort to make him comfortable and help with his confidence. We've seen such a positive change in him since starting and can't thank the team enough.
I am so happy to hear your son settled well into the baby room with the support of our nurturing team. It is lovely to hear how he has been supported to develop his confidence through his environment.
Absolutely delighted with the standard of care and level of attentiveness! My son is settling in so well and it is clear that the staff are very well trained and suited to the job of looking after babies and young children. Staff are all very friendly and easy to talk to and it’s a very welcoming space. The app is also really useful.
I am happy to hear you have had a positive start within our baby room. The team enjoy learning and taking part in training to facilitate their knowledge and understanding to support child development. I think it is lovely you have acknowledged the wonderful spaces we provide for all our children to help stimulate their individual needs.
She absolutely loves it and so do we.
As a parent, it can be very nerve wracking leaving your baby at nursery to begin with. But the staff at Pied Piper are wonderful. They are so attentive and you can tell they care so much about the children. My daughter jumps for joy when she realises she’s going to nursery, and loves the staff and her new friends.
It’s been amazing hearing and seeing how much she has come on and enjoys herself when she’s there. We rest assured knowing she has eaten well, slept, etc via the Famly app too.
Thank you all of you in the baby room for the work you have done and continue to do to care for our children.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review of our nursery. Settling in for young children in so important that we get it right to enable them to transition successfully in the future. It is lovely to hear how nurturing the team have been during your child’s journey at Pied Piper Nursery. The app is a great platform for highlighting the important factors of your child’s day.
My daughter started at the nursery over a year ago and she is thriving there. The staff are so caring and friendly, always smiling and full of energy and fun plans for the children. I’m very happy with all the facilities and resources, and they really make an effort to do different activities and adapt the spaces to make it exciting for the children. Thanks so much for all your hard work!
We value your review and happy to hear your little one is still thriving in our care – one year on. The team do love setting up provocations to support educational learning. The team encourage the children to use their voices to express what learning they would like to learn about within nurseries. The curriculum clubs really help with this.
We are new to Pied Piper Nursery and we have been so impressed with the staff, their help with settling our daughter into nursery has been amazing. She has already formed great bonds with her key worker and is having a fantastic time. The nursery has got great resources, play is child-led and lots of outdoor play is promoted. Couldn't ask for more!
It has been a pleasure welcoming you to our nursery. We are happy to hear our settling-in process was a positive experience for both you and your child. Positive partnerships are something the whole team pride themselves on and we are continuously grateful for the opportunity to demonstrate our...
We’ve been absolutely delighted with the care our daughter has received at Pied Piper. Very quickly the nursery became a home from home for her, and that’s all thanks to the amazing, caring and creative staff. Our daughter now can’t get out the door quickly enough when we tell her she’s off to nursery that day, and she’s developed great bonds with the staff and other kids. The settling-in process was a tricky one for us as first-time parents but we were supported and reassured at every step, never made to feel dramatic for finding it a daunting prospect. We love the daily updates to hear what the kids have been up to and especially love when we can spot her in the pictures! The garden’s brilliant too, love to see her getting outside. Thanks so much to everyone!
We thank you for taking the time to leave a review of our nursery. We appreciate your words and know that they will benefit prospective parents when making an informed decision about their childcare options. We are pleased you chose our nursery for your child’s learning journey and have had positive experiences, and look forward to continuing to work with you, to provide the best experience.
