Our little one didn't have any nursery experience until he was 2 and a half years old, and we were a little apprehensive about how he would settle in but he really loves it - and now doesn't look back when we bring him in. The staff at Pied Piper are very supportive and attentive. We receive daily reports/photos so we feel involved in his activities and development as parents. It's very reassuring. They have also been great at helping us through toilet training. The food seems healthy and varied. All round, a great nursery. I would highly recommend.

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.
My son has recently started at Pied Piper and I have been anxious about leaving him for the first time, however, the baby room team have been great at reassuring me by sharing regular updates and photos on the app, and have always responded promptly to my messages. He now seems to have settled in really well and I feel confident that the team will keep in touch when I'm back at work. There seems to be a range of activities every day and my son is really enjoying it. I'm no longer anxious about leaving him!

Our daughter started at Pied Piper Nursery in November when she was 12 months. She settled very quickly and now absolutely loves attending - she can't wait to get there in the morning and doesn't care to say bye to us when we drop her off, she's so keen to get into the room and get going. The food offering seems healthy and varied. We have seen a big jump in her development in the last 3 months which coincides with her time at nursery. She seems to play outside at least once a day. We don't have a garden at home so we are delighted with the focus on outdoor play. The staff are friendly and caring, and we get regular updates on the app throughout the day. Overall we are very happy with the nursery.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review on your child’s experience at nursery. It has been lovely watching her confidence grow and she loves her time in nursery. The team excel at developing partnerships with their key children and their families. The curriculum club has allowed the...
Since relocating to Glasgow, re-settling my daughter to a new nursery was at the forefront. The team at Pied Piper Nursery have been superb since her first day with a very nurturing, engaging and attentive setting. The team have all been great and my daughter is very well taken care of, thoroughly engaged and now looks forward to her time at nursery. The team are also great at keeping parents updated on activities, welfare and wellbeing with regular comms, photos and descriptions of the day’s events. The setting is also lovely, with plenty of outdoor time in a great garden, canopy and studio. I’ve yet to consider the new curriculum clubs which seem like a great concept when my daughter is slightly older. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Pied Piper to any parent looking for an engaging and nurturing environment for their children.
It has been a pleasure welcoming you all to Pied Piper Nursery. The team support all transitions based on each individual child’s current needs to create a smooth transition period. I am happy to hear you are pleased with the Nursery environment and provision in place to support your child’s...
Our littlun started in January and we've been struck by how bright, kind and welcoming all the staff are. Our boy also settled in quickly and now reaches out for his carers when dropped off more often than not, which is a great sign and a reassuring relief for us. The activities seem good and varied and the food seems to be great too, smells delicious! In an ideal world the nappy-changing could be a bit swifter, but having said that, it's hard to judge it when you're not present. Overall, we're delighted our son's being looked after here.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback to improve our service. I am grateful to hear how supportive you are towards attachments between the team and your child and how reassuring this is to see on your morning drop off. We will take into consideration the nappy changing being a little faster at pick up.
We moved to Glasgow in August last year and both of my girls love Pied Piper. The staff have all been so lovely and welcoming. We get great updates on the girls and they are so happy to be there and have settled in so well. My youngest now sings about her teachers all the time. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for nursery.

Our son has been at Pied Piper for nearly a year now and he is absolutely thriving. We have been blown away with the level of development he is achieving thanks to the stimulating and supportive environment at the nursery. The staff are friendly and welcoming, are reactive to individual needs and go the extra mile to build real connections with the children. We are so happy with Pied Piper as our nursery.

Our little boy loves going to Pied Piper. The staff are great and always go that bit extra to make things fun and educational. At the end of the day we always get great feedback on what our child has been doing through the day.
Thank you for your lovely feedback, it is lovely to hear you are loving his time in Nursery and see the educational provocations the team set up to facilitate children’s achievements. We are happy to hear you are liking the feedback at the end of each evening. We are grateful to have such supportive parents that value our values.
I am so thankful to the nursery having lost my husband last year due to covid19 my daughter was only 2 years old. I reached out to the Pied Piper, I went to visit, I'm glad I did. As it was out one house to another such a warm welcome my daughter loved it she's now 3 years old in the toddler's group it helped her to heal come out and enjoy herself at the nursery. We couldn't do that alone all thanks to the nursery and each member of staff who's helped and looked after her. The nursery is very flexible and worked around my working hours. My daughter absolutely loves it and now my nephew will be joining soon the nursery as my brother loves all the staff members there. Greetings and warm welcome. Thank you very much again to each everyone for supporting me and my little one who's a Miss Diva.
This is a very heartfelt message and it has been an absolute pleasure welcoming you and your child into nursery at the time you required our support. We have loved working alongside you and your wider family to provide a home from home experience and successful relationships which aim support you...
We have been going to Pied Piper for 7 years now and the wonderful staff there have cared for both of my children from the baby stage, all the way through to preschool. It has been a brilliant place for my kids to grow, learn, flourish and make friends. My kids are very different in nature but the staff have always known how to bring out the best in each of them. As a family, we are going to miss this place a lot when my little one finishes for school, shortly. I couldn't recommend it more.
It has been a privilege welcoming both your children into nursery and we have learned so much from their personalities and characteristics. We know how resilient they are and they will transition well. Thank you for being a huge support to all of us during the pandemic and we wish you all the very best for your future. We miss you all already!
Pied Piper has a first-class service. The staff are all fantastic and are always welcoming and helpful in any situation. Every single staff member has been top-class and professional. Two of my children attended here; one started in the baby room and one in toddlers and continued throughout their whole nursery life. Pied Piper has made their learning fun and educational. The app they use is fantastic, and we can see pictures of our children throughout their day, which we love! I would recommend Pied Piper to anyone! Thank you to everyone at Pied Piper for making my children's journey through nursery a lovely one! We will miss you dearly now we are off to school!
It has been a privilege watching your children blossom into confident individuals. They have developed in character and personality through their time at nursery. Your child’s journey is fundamental to us, and we are so grateful that you chose Pied Piper Nursery for your child’s first nursery. We cannot thank you enough for your continued support over the years!
We are thrilled with the progress of our 11-month-old since being at Pied Piper. The staff are extremely supportive and she gets a warm welcome from every staff member as we arrive, which helps settle her in for the day. We are happy with the updates we receive and the variety of meals she gets. We highly recommend this nursery.
It is lovely to hear how much your little one has settled into nursery with the support of the team’s successful attachment. Connecting with our parents and children from the moment they arrive at nursery helps with the transition and seeing a familiar face. It is great to hear you are welcoming our family app and are happy with our nutritional food choices in the nursery.
The staff seem to genuinely care for the children and are very active in coming up with activities that help them develop.
The management has also been delightful to deal with over the years.
Thank you for many happy memories, Pied Piper!
It has been a pleasure getting to know the children and watching them develop into confident individuals. We strive to provide a nurturing, stimulating nursery full of wonder for our children to explore the world around them. We wish you all the success for your future and thank you for choosing Pied Piper Nursery for your children’s first nursery.
We have had a great experience with Pied Piper. Our wee boy has been really well looked after. He’s recently moved to the toddler room and found the transition a little difficult, but the staff have been really supportive. The food they get is all really healthy, and the app is brilliant in terms of updates. Anytime we are concerned about our wee boy or looking for an update, we message and get an update. The staff have also been good at discussing child development with us. I would really recommend the nursey if you are looking for a nurturing environment with staff who take a real interest in your child.
The staff went the extra mile to help my little one settle in. Receiving regular updates via the nursery app is very reassuring. The staff are relaxed and so welcoming to all the children, that my little guy now skips into the nursery. I would definitely recommend it to other parents.
Our child is very shy natured and we were worried after lockdown and no toddler groups that she would struggle starting nursery at 3. The staff at Pied Piper have been so supportive and great at keeping in contact. There is a great variety of imaginative activities and our daughter has settled incredibly well now!
It is wonderful to hear that our team are very responsive to you and your child’s individual needs. Even during/after lockdown, we understand the importance of successful transitions through stay and play opportunities to support your child’s confidence and overall wellbeing. We will continue to focus on your child’s interests and develop these through her observations of play.
The care and support of our daughter at the Pied Piper nursery is first class. They are a hardworking genuine team of staff. We have watched our daughter thrive in developmental areas confidence, kindness and play whilst learning about life around her in a fun and safe environment. As parents we can’t thank them enough.
Thank you for this lovely review! It is great to hear you have had such a positive experience with us and you value the team's hard work to support your child’s development. We are thankful to have such caring parents and are looking forward to welcoming our parents into Nursery very soon for future stay and play visits.
Pied Piper has been a great experience for our daughter right from the start!
Our daughter has been at Pied Piper for about 3 months now. She was 8 months old when she started and we were nervous about her being quite young and due to Covid we couldn't accompany her inside. The staff were amazing though and reassured both us and our daughter who did not want to part from us at first. They won her over really fast and she settled really quickly. We know she is in the best hands at nursery and she loves going and playing with her new friends. We get updates throughout the day and most days we get to see pictures of what she has been up to during the day. The nursery exposes her to so many more different sensory, cognitive and motoric experiences than what I could offer my daughter. She is absolutely thriving!
Thank you for taking the time to contrast such a meaningful review. It was lovely to read that your child’s transition was very smooth and was very reassuring for you and your child. It is lovely to hear she loves going to the nursery to explore the environment with her friends. We are fortunate to...
We feel our son is being really well looked after, he is developing every day and making friends. Communication between us and his teachers is great and we can message them any time for an update on how he is doing. We have been well supported when our son has had challenging behaviour and we respect and trust his teachers’ assessment and advice. We highly recommend this nursery and our youngest son will be starting there soon.
It is great to hear that your child has been developing his social skills and making secure friendships in nursery, the app is great for sharing information and photo/video evidence for our parents to reassure you of your child’s day. It is lovely to hear you have built a trusting relationship so...
It’s such a great feeling to feel comfortable and confident with the care that our daughter is getting. All the staff at Pied Piper are so friendly and welcoming and have given us a smooth transition into nursery care. Our daughter settled in quickly and loves being at Pied Piper! They try to spend a lot of time outside which is great. Communications are good and the app is a great way of keeping in touch.
Thank you for your valued feedback – it is lovely to hear your daughter has settled in well during her transition into nursery. It’s also great to hear a family app is a positive tool for communicating back and forth with the team and that communication is ongoing in a positive way. We are looking forward to future planning for our parent consultations.
