Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All of my children have attended Wee Gems over the last 5 years. Staff are extremely friendly and accommodating to individual children's/families needs. Whilst there has been some staff turnover over the years there is a core group who have remained and it is clear they care about the nursery and children.
The children have access to large and entertaining outdoor areas and the indoor spaces are constantly evolving and being developed in consultation with families. Food is prepared on site and is varied and always options available if meal not eaten. My children love going to nursery each day.

Wee Gems have been great. Every set from first contact to the settling-in days to the present, they have been lovely, understanding and effective. My daughter attends one day a week and loves going to nursery, and she has come on so much since she started. The staff are consistent and accommodating.

My daughter has attended Wee Gems for 2 and half years and my eldest daughter attended before that. I find the staff are what makes the nursery they all know my daughter and remember her likes and dislikes and her quirks. It's a really homely atmosphere where my daughter goes in happy to see her friends
and leaves happy telling me about her day. I am very happy we have chosen Wee Gems and have never had any doubt about their capabilities in caring for her. It will be a sad day when my daughter grows too old for nursery, end of an era.

Fantastic nursery - our baby absolutely loves it here. The staff are caring and professional, and he's often having so much fun it's a challenge to get him to leave. We've noticed great progress in his development and are really pleased with how things are going.

My two children (14mo & 3y11mo) have just recently started at Wee Gems. They previously attended a different nursery and just didn't seem to be settling so I went with my gut and moved them to Wee Gems. I am so glad I did. They had both settled by the end of their first week (!) which I think just
shows what a brilliant setting it is and how excellent the staff are. It's clear the staff genuinely care about the children's wellbeing, and they make a real effort to update you on how the kids are getting on - especially if drop off was a bit tricky. They are both eating really well, so the in-house chef must be doing something right! The rooms are great play spaces with lots to do for all ages.


The manager is lovely and efficient - very approachable and happy to work things out with regards to funded hours and topping up etc. It's still early days, but I can already tell this nursery is fantastic and I'll be recommending to other friends & family.

All the staff at the nursery are so friendly, and my wee boy absolutely loves it here. They keep me updated really well on how he is doing and what he has been up to that day. The girls are always planning fun and educational activities for the children. My wee boy always leaves with a huge smile on
his face.

My daughter is in the baby room and she loves coming into nursery. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. They work hard to keep the kids entertained, fed and watered during the day. I was nervous for putting my little one into nursery but now I feel completely at ease, knowing how much she enjoys
nursery.

Wee Gems in Broxburn have been amazing in helping our boy settle into his new place at nursery. He's grown so much over the past 4 months in being there. All staff are great and keep us well informed of anything going on in the nursery as well as our boys day to day. All staff are always welcoming and
making 100% effort with the children On a daily basis.

I send two children to this nursery and have been constantly comforted and reassured by the staff with every step of my kids' learning and development. I have never felt uninformed, or that my kids have not enjoyed their time here. I can't fault this place. The staff are excellent.

We are very happy with our daughter's progress. They have helped her a lot in moving from diapers to the toilet and she is independent and capable. She always says that I can do it because I am a big girl. And they have taught her that there.

My son has been attending Wee Gems Broxburn since April 2024 and I couldn't be happier with our experience! The staff are incredibly warm, caring, and attentive, creating a safe and nurturing environment where my son has truly thrived.
The facilities are fantastic, with plenty of engaging activities
that support learning and development in a fun and creative way. I've noticed such a positive change in my son's confidence, social skills, and overall happiness since starting here. The communication from the nursery is also excellent- I always feel well-informed about his progress and daily experiences.
It's reassuring to know that he's in such good hands every day. My son can have days where he can be upset going in but the staff always have amazing distractions for him to ease him into the day and it makes me feel better knowing he is happy when I leave.

My daughter has been at Wee Gem’s, Broxburn since she was 10 months old. She’s now 2.5. She settled in well into Wee Gems and loves going. The staff are all fantastic and the biggest asset to the nursery. They are friendly, kind, approachable, and professional and my daughter has made great relationships
with them. She talks fondly of her key workers. Overall I am very happy with our experience at Wee Gems. And I go to work happy in the knowledge she is being well looked after.

Since my daughter has joined this nursery. We have seen a massive difference in her. Bringing out her character, helping her motor skills, social skills and all-round confidence. It used to be hard to leave her now at drop-off it’s like I’m not even there, making it so easy to leave her and let her
enjoy her day.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.536)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.536) out of 10 for Wee Gems - Broxburn 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 4.7 out of 5 from 15 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 4.854 for Wee Gems - Broxburn is calculated as follows: ( (167 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.854
  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 4.682 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Wee Gems - Broxburn is based on 15 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 110 number of registered child places is 22. 15 Positive Reviews ÷ 22 = 0.682
  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.
