Overall Experience
I have so much love for Happitots Cumbernauld.
What a fantastic feeling it is to be able to leave my kids with people that I know genuinely care for and love them.

They have managed to build on an already fab team with even more fab people joining and they all fit in so well. There’s no doubt about their love and enjoyment of their jobs and the care and attention they provide for the kids.

Overall Experience
No complaints at all, every member of staff I have had any dealings with have been fantastic. They always go above and beyond and nothing is ever too much trouble.
My daughter has additional needs required and they have always taken on board anything she has needed and never treated her differently to the other children.

Very happy with the nursery.

Review from K G (Mother of Child) published on 31 October 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter started at Happitots in the summer. My daughter struggles with new faces so I was concerned she wouldn't settle into nursery. However after a couple of visits, my daughter seemed so relaxed and content around the nursery staff and seemed to fit into nursery quite quickly. They spent 1:1 time with my daughter and built up a therapeutic relationship with her. I feel my daughter is safe and well looked after at nursery. They carry out a wide range of activities to help with development and update the app daily so parents can get an update. Really happy with our experience so far.

Review from D H (Mother of Child) published on 18 October 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We moved our son to Happitots earlier in the year and couldn't be happier with our decision.
He settled easily, with the option of multiple settling sessions to ensure that we were all comfortable and happy. Staff are very respectful of the children and he is greeted warmly every day. I can fully relax knowing that he is being cared for and that his development is taken seriously in a safe environment.
Our son talks about what he has done each day and it is clear that all staff members are heavily involved in activities rather than just supervising. We regularly pick him up and can see staff singing and dancing with the children. We get detailed information about what he does each day, often from multiple members of staff. We also like that he is now given choices of lunch as this will prepare him for making food choices at school.

Communication from management is regular, clear and helpful. Questions are answered quickly.

Review from M M (Mother of Child) published on 17 August 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I could not be happier with Happitots Cumbernauld. The settling-in period they offer is fantastic and the staff really make a huge effort to make sure the child is comfortable before their start date. My baby started at 1 year old after never having left my side and settled really well because of their settling-in policy and the hard work of the staff. The staff have made a big effort each to spend one on one time with him as he settled in so he is comfortable with them all. The staff are great at listening to his needs e.g. giving a nap according to when he needs it not just at a set time. He has only been at nursery for a few months but within this time has become so confident. The nursery is very flexible and accommodating. There is not one thing I could fault them with. I am so grateful to have such high-quality, reliable childcare at a reasonable price.

My son is very happy at nursery.
When I drop him off he’s always happy to see his room and never wants to leave.
Staff are always lovely and tell me all about his day.

My son has only been at the nursery a short amount of time but he has settled well and enjoys his afternoons.

Overall Experience

My son has been attending the nursery for about a month now in the baby room and I am so happy with it. I can relax knowing he is in good hands and he already seems to be learning loads. He gets so excited to go into nursery in the morning and is so happy and content throughout the day as I can see from the regular updates on the app. The variety of food provided is great - gives us ideas for at home too. The different activities are also great and seem really fun and engaging for my son.

The nursery staff are great and welcoming and have made my child's transition here easy. My child is coming along great and that’s all done to the incredible staff. My child has only been here a short while and is adjusting well.

We find the staff very friendly and welcoming when we come to nursery. The staff make sure to welcome when he arrives. We have noticed a big difference in his speech and understanding since joining the nursery, and he is trying new foods at snack times.

Overall Experience
I have nothing but praise for this nursery.
After having issues in another nursery I was so nervous of my children starting a new nursery. All my worries have been put at ease.
Both my children settled very quickly within Happitots and are happy to be there. I feel there is a very welcoming atmosphere within the setting and my children’s dad and Grandma have both said the same, I feel the staff genuinely enjoy their job.
Any queries I have had are answered very quickly and professionally.

I love that there is an app which is updated with nappy changes, naps and meals etc.

I am happy with how my son gets treated and how well my son is getting on, as before my son came to Happitots Nursery he was at another nursery that basically neglected him but this one I’m happy with everything.

Overall Experience

I would highly recommend this nursery so much, any age! My daughter is 2 and a half , I was so nervous for her starting as she’s never been to a nursery before and with me starting work. I was so late getting her settled in but the girls managed to help me out so fast, advised for everything and were so helpful! The journal is so updated with absolutely everything, it’s amazing! Every time I drop and pick my daughter up she’s over the moon to be going to nursery and comes out so happy! Nothing better than seeing your daughter happy! The staff are so lovely welcoming and amazing with my daughter, it’s such a safe place and they are amazing with the kids.

10/10 everything

My daughter absolutely loves it here. She's been going since she was 3 and is off to primary school in August. She is always chatting about her wee pals and what she did that day with her nursery teachers. Can't recommend the place highly enough.

Review from Margaret W (Foster Parent of Child) published on 23 February 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child always has a positive experience at Happitots Nursery Cumbernauld. She has a very good relationship with staff working with her. She has a varied day playing inside with water, sand etc and is encouraged to do crafts. She also experiences outdoors within the nursery garden area and in the wider community when she is taken out with her peers. I fully recommend this nursery.
