Great team, as I have babies, twins boys and they start nursery from 4 months old. Great attitude and care. My babies have made great progress and very interesting activities for their age. They are very happy and me too.

Excellent nursery would highly recommend. My daughter has been coming here since she was a baby firstly as part of the Creche then a nursery place. She loves it and she loves the staff. Always excited to go to nursery and it makes me feel so at ease knowing how happy and content she is. They are always
doing different activities with the children so they are always learning something new.

I have had very few issues with this nursery. The staff are all very friendly and treat my little girl very well. She enjoys her time at nursery and enjoys the variety of activities they offer. I'm glad that my daughter is at this nursery and able to interact with other children her age.

Where do I start? My child has been at Happitots Cumbernauld for the last 3 years and what a wonderful 3 years it has been. While I have been working my mind has been at peace knowing that my child is extremely well looked after, with regular updates and journals to read you cannot pick a better nursery.
Highly recommended.

Fantastic nursery and very accommodating. The staff are lovely and our daughter always has a great time. We get a full review of what she has done when we pick her up and the learning journal entries are an excellent way for us to actually see what she had been doing and how she is progressing. We also
get a 5% discount as daddy works in the shopping centre where the nursery is based which is a great help.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started here in September 2018 under the early learning programme for 2 year olds. I was invited in to see the nursery and meet the staff, all are very welcoming.
My daughter loves the nursery and has really come on since starting. The staff are great with her. We have a chat about her
day, what she ate what she did how she got on, every evening when I pick her up. Staff also do reviews and are kept up to date on the child's progress in the nursery. There have also been times I have had no childcare for my daughter, the nursery is always willing to help out and the prices are great.
I have recommended the nursery to all family and friends I am so happy my child is enjoying her time there.
Ladies you all do a brilliant job, thank you!

I would highly recommend this nursery for anyone who is looking for professional childcare. My daughter goes here and has done since a young age and my worry was that she wouldn’t like being away from her parent but the nursery made her feel so welcome and do everything he parents would. Since she started
she’s come out more confidence in herself and I’ve seen a big change. The lady’s that work there are always so helpful and are so lovely they are always at hand if you have any questions at all. This is the cheapest nursery I could find in my area and I couldn’t ask for a better place to look after my daughter when I started back work. My worry was always that my daughter wouldn’t stay with a stranger at the time but the lady’s reassured me and made my daughter feel so welcome and happy

Both my children have and go to this nursery, the teachers are amazing with the kids and help to encourage the kids in all their needs. They are extremely approachable if you need anything and are excellent in keeping parents informed with all that's going on in the nursery and with your child's development.
I am extremely happy with Happitots and so is my child.

My son attends this nursery 3 sessions a week and loves it. My child’s learning and communication have come on so much in a short time. We will definitely put our other little boy in when he is old enough. My sister uses the crèche and her children love it too.

My son has been attending this nursery for three years, during which time, I have seen him grow and develop so much and this is due to the nurturing staff who are all welcoming and have established a great relationship with the children.
The communication from the nursery is excellent and I'm always
kept up to date on my son's time at nursery as well as developmental milestones. I would recommend this nursery to anyone and will be sad when my son leaves to go to school.

My Granddaughter has been attending this nursery for a for while now, at first, she was very unsettled but the staff within the nursery did a fantastic job of making the transition easy. She has come on leaps and bounds since attending the nursery and I can also see she has developed in her language
and social skills and this is all thanks to the amazing staff within Happitots Nursery. I would definitely recommend this nursery as it provides a high standard of quality care.

All staff are welcoming and friendly, and truly have the best interests of the children in mind. Settling in the process is well planned out to suit individual needs, at pick up each day you are provided with a hand over of the food, nap times and nappy changes of your child which is great. The staff
also use Learning Journals, which shows you pictures of your child participating in activities and the learning and development taking place, updated regularly to wish is great. Couldn't recommend them enough!

My daughter has attended this nursery since she was 1. At first, I was worried about leaving her but from day one every member of staff put her at ease and made her feel welcome. She has turned into a sociable talented confident little girl and I put this down to the staff and their time spent doing
various activities and bringing her out of her comfort zone. I am glad I took the decision to put my daughter into this nursery and thankful to all the staff here for their ongoing efforts.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.779)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.779) out of 10 for Happitots Nursery Cumbernauld is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.927 for Happitots Nursery Cumbernauld is calculated as follows: ( (178 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.927
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.852 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Happitots Nursery Cumbernauld is based on 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.9
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 84 number of registered child places is 16.8. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 16.8 = 0.952
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
