Happitots is a fantastic nursery. My daughter is almost 5 and has attended since she was a baby. Everyone is caring, helpful and 100% focused on teaching my child. My daughter has grown into a bright and confident little girl and I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

My children have been attending this nursery for a year and a half now. I could not be more happy with the nursery.
The children go very happy every single day, they enjoy it a lot. The nursery provides a very good and varied lunch and snacks, always including fruit and veg.
The staff is great, always
doing different activities and providing daily feedback.
I highly recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child has been in Happitots for over one year now and I must say it's been a pleasant journey. Recently she started toilet training and I wasn't too sure if she would get on well in nursery, however, the staff have been very helpful and have helped her toilet train in the nursery which was amazing.
Also, they keep all activities she does in the intranet which provides more information on how she is getting on in nursery and what to train her on while at home to help out. Overall, I am very happy with the nursery and its staff. The recent refurbishment has also given the appearance a positive boost and even my child commented on it positively. I won't hesitate to recommend the nursery to anyone.

The staff are fantastic, my daughter went from nappies to using the toilet within a week with the help and encouragement of them. My daughter loves nursery and I think it's amazing that they learn Spanish at a young age. There has been a couple of times I've had to keep her in with family issues eg.,
hospital and the manager was very kind. Fantastic nursery and staff.

Happitots Cumbernauld have been responsible for the welfare of my daughter for over a year now and I cannot recommend and commend them enough. They have taught my daughter essential cognitive and social skills bringing her out of her shell and building her confidence making her the bright and cheery
girl she is today.
The staff are next to none being approachable, reliable and willing to listen and work with parents at every turn. Management is of high accord. I couldn't fault the nursery at all.

The staff in the nursery are friendly and helpful, my grandson has really come on since he started attending. The management are more than approachable, you can turn to them for anything. The nursery is very clean and has lots of activities for the children of all ages to take part in. Nothing seems
to be too much trouble for the staff if you need to ask anything. He likes the food that is provided and it is always very healthy, he now loves eating fruit.

I can't fault this nursery at all. All staff members are very helpful and are great with my daughter upon her time at nursery. As a first-time parent placing my daughter within the care of the nursery, they explained all that they do within the nursery and what would be done to help with my child development.
I would highly recommend them to any friends or family. Very happy with the service they provide.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending Happitots, Cumbernauld since she was only 10 months old. It is a very welcoming nursery, with the most friendly, polite and professional staff. All of the staff within the nursery treat each child as if they were their own, and cater to any additional needs exceptionally
well. The nursery is always immaculate, and the food provided to the kids at meal/snack times is always healthy and appealing.
I have noticed a big boost in my daughter’s confidence, and communication skills since starting at Happitots. I can not thank the girls at the nursery enough for the ongoing support and encouragement they provide my daughter on a daily basis. I would 100% recommend Happitots to any of my family or friends.

My 14-month-old son has been attending Happitots through the Crèche on and off now for several months and we have been overwhelmed with how welcoming and attentive the staff are. Our little boy shows such enjoyment when entering the room and always seems content when we pick him up. Staff are fantastic
at taking the time to fill us in on what he has been doing during his time there and there are always different activities set out and new areas to explore.

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.
