About this price
How the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

Since starting at the nursery my son has come on leaps and bounds. He can say full words, recognise his name. He started walking, all thanks to the nursery. He can also count to 6 and he is almost 2. I can't praise Happitots, Cumbernauld enough. The staff are so friendly and caring and it truly does show.
This nursery is fantastic, I can't recommend it highly enough. The staff were, without exception, brilliant. This year my eldest leaves for school and I am on maternity leave, but I wouldn't hesitate to put both youngest back in to Happitots when I return to uni next summer. My children were...
This nursery is fantastic, I can't recommend it highly enough. The staff were, without exception, brilliant. This year my eldest leaves for school and I am on maternity leave, but I wouldn't hesitate to put both youngest back in to Happitots when I return to uni next summer. My children were happy, confident girls during their time at nursery. The online diary kept me up to date with what the girls were doing and allowed me to access photos and I could sit with the children and discuss what they had been doing. When the girls were unwell they immediately got in contact with us which gave us great peace of mind. The children ate fresh home cooked meals which were healthy and always enjoyed by my children, there are opportunities throughout the year for parents to have an input on menus. This nursery is a family environment and there are plenty of opportunities throughout the year for family members to get involved and feel part of their children's nursery experience.

My eldest attended Happitots for 3 yrs and my youngest has been at the nursery for 3 and a half years. Both have loved it. Having worked in nurseries myself, I believe I definitely chose the right nursery for them. The staff couldn't be more accommodating and approachable.

The nursery is very handy for traveling too and from when I didn't have a car. Staff are very friendly and my little boy absolutely loves going into nursery and learns new and exciting things all the time.

I would highly recommend this nursery. I am always happy to leave my little girl in the care of the lovely staff who I have full confidence in. When I pick my little girl up I am always fully informed of how her day has been and the girls let me see what she has been up to. Management are always...

My daughter first came to nursery feeling shy but now her confidence has grown amazingly. The food provided is healthy and well planned to give the kids good variety.
I love the fact that they take the kids to the nursery and encourage reading.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review us Jacqueline! We're so happy that your daughters confidence has grown and we can't wait to continue to support her during her time here :)
I have recommended this nursery to two friends who have chose to send there kids here. My son has been going here for just under 3 years and the standards have always remained high. Hours of opening are excellent, the staff are great and the level of communication received is high.
