My little boy has been going here for just under 1 year and has came on leaps and bounds! Putting him into nursery wasn't something I wanted to do but when I visited Happitots Cumbernauld I knew it was the right decision for him. Only 1 day a week for my little one but it has a huge impact. He is excited about going to nursery in the morning, he usually dances out the lift. The workers who care for Jack are amazing! I feel so safe leaving him there. I absolutely love the wee pictures I come home with, I love the updates on the app during the day so I can keep up with what's happening and I love that when I said we have been practising colours at home the pictures from that day showed they focused on books for learning colours to continue our at home learning. He is now moving into the Toddler Room and has already been doing a book program with them which I know he loves! I can't thank the staff enough for the care, love and attention they show Jack. I am so glad I chose this nursery!xx

Im a first time mum and it was very overwhelming bringing my son to a nursery for the first time when i went back to work but they made the process so easy and nothing was too difficult to sort out. They are flexible when I ask questions. I enjoy the app too which provides updates of when my child eats, sleeps, changes his nappy. I feel he is safe and happy here.

We completely understand how overwhelming it can feel as a first-time mum returning to work, and we're so pleased that the team at the Nursery were able to make the transition as smooth and reassuring as possible for you. Supporting families through those early days is incredibly important to us.
It's wonderful to hear that you find our staff friendly, informative and flexible, and that the app updates help you feel connected to your son's day - from meals and naps to nappy changes. Most importantly, we're delighted that you feel he is safe and happy with us. That truly means everything.

The staff are so lovely and welcoming even after a long day, it's insane the amount of work they do but they always have a smile and connections with the kids as my son will mention their names when we're at home.
He's always excited to go in, has all the healthy foods and is encouraged to play with other while also having teachable moments as he's going through his terrible twos.
If he's ever had any accidents or injury I get told about what happened and gives me security that he's happy and safe as it's still hard to have him away from me, but the staff always give me reassurance and I can see how happy they make him.
Overall, me and my son are so appreciative of their professionalism and overall care for their job :)

My daughter absolutely loves being in the preschool room of the nursery and has been going here since the baby room. Everyone that works there takes such good care of her and are all very personable with her. The lovely lady who does the cleaning is also so kind to her and always very friendly.

Both of my children have attended this nursery since they were infants full time and have both been made to feel valued and comfortable with staff from all rooms. The staff are excellent at building and maintaining therapeutic relationships with the children to help them feel able to develop their social and emotional needs based on trust and excellent communication skills. The nursery as a whole is accommodating to every child's needs and supports children in different stages of their development to help them thrive and build confidence within their social surroundings. Parents are kept up to date via the app daily on their child's activities of daily living and my children feel safe and happy at nursery. I would recommend this nursery to anybody looking for a safe and happy environment for their child to be cared for.
Thank you ever so much for the lovely feedback, the team are always so delighted to read it, thanks again from all at Thrive Childcare.

My son has been going to this nursery for 2 months now since he was 6 months old and he absolutely loves it. I was anxious about leaving him so young, however seeing how happy and comfortable he is there really puts me at ease when I'm at work. When I drop him off in the morning he kicks his legs gets excited to see the nursery staff, and cuddles into them which shows he feels comfortable around them. They do activities with him every day and they made pictures and cards with him to give to us, which I absolutely loved and will treasure forever. You are always kept updated on the app, and I love seeing all the different activities he gets up to throughout the day and getting pictures of him playing and smiling away. I do the flexible working plan, which is ideal for my family as we are able to put him on a different day every week, which suits us perfectly as my husband works shifts. They are always very flexible and as accommodating as possible. Would highly recommend.

It’s also a huge relief that all staff take strict precautions when it comes to meal times as my son has quite a few allergies.
Nothing makes me happier than the regular photo updates on the parent app and coming to pick him up at home time, looking through the window before I enter, to see a big smile on his face interacting with all staff.
