We love Wee Gems. Our son has been at Wee Gems for just over six months now, and we honestly cannot fault anything. The level of care he receives whilst at Wee Gems is unmatched. During these six months, our son has transitioned from the baby room to the toddler room, and we could not be happier with
how the transition went. It was such a seamless transition, and the staff were all so understanding and kind and went out of their way to ensure our son had a comfortable experience. The staff at Wee Gems are amazing. They genuinely care about the well-being and development of the children. We have been amazed at how much our son is learning, and it’s all down to the staff. You are all brilliant! I would 100% recommend this nursery in a heartbeat!

My daughter has been going to Wee Gems for over a year now. At the start (and sometimes even now), I suffered major separation anxiety from her. The staff sent/sent me a message every morning to let me know she had settled well. I've felt nothing but warmth and comfort from every single staff member.
We had a lot of problems with weaning when our girl first started, and thanks to the staff working with her, she's a great wee eater now.
She has come on leaps and bounds in every aspect.
Couldn't imagine sending my girl anywhere else.

The staff at Wee Gems are fantastic as they provide a safe environment for our children. As a parent, I enjoy the regular updates provided by the staff about the general activities of the children and the regular development updates too. My children are always welcomed by name when they arrive in the
morning and the handover updates in the evening are clear and detailed which gives me a sense of a caring environment. Thank you, Wee Gems Broxburn.

Our 15-month-old daughter is almost jumping out of our arms to get into the nursery as we drop her off in the mornings, which we are delighted to see as it clearly shows how much she enjoys it and it makes us feel at ease as this is our first child so have never had to do this before. Every staff member
we have spoken to knows our daughter by name and they all take the time to chat with us about how well she gets on each day. The manager of the baby room also takes the time to provide detailed reports every so often describing how well our daughter is progressing. We can tell they really do care about their job.

An amazing bunch of girls that made my daughter feel right at home straight away. It was so nice to see that my eighteen month old happily walked in after just a few weeks. My daughter's talking and reacting to instructions is evident at how much she is learning from Wee Gems - Broxburn. The manager
is extremely hands on and has been on hand for any questions. Such a great team that in unprecedented times have managed to maintain a normal world for our little one, thank you so much ladies.

I absolutely love Wee Gems - Broxburn nursery. The care you give my little girl is above and beyond and she wakes up every morning to ask if she's coming to nursery. The mornings I say yes she leaps out of bed! Thank you for everything you've done during Covid-19 and the lengths you've gone to to keep
the children and parents safe. Thank you again.

My son attends Wee Gems - Broxburn and he seems to really enjoy it. It is slightly bigger than I would like so I don't always know every staff member but the staff are always very friendly and are happy to talk to you about any issues you might have. They take the children out on walks to the forest
and my son spends much of his day outside, which he loves. I think the facilities seem good and their Covid-19 measures are apparent. He seems to be given plenty to do, with number and letter games and he always comes out with a smile on his face, saying he has had a good time. Have no concerns about this venue for my child.

We have only had our son at this nursery for a short time but we are so pleased with how well he has settled in. He enjoys going to nursery and I am confident leaving him there. The staff are friendly, approachable, helpful and seem to have a great bond with the children in their care. This has been
a difficult year for many settings and I cannot thank every staff member enough for doing all they can, especially with the ever changing policies and guidelines, to keep my baby healthy and happy.

My son is in the preschool room at Wee Gems and loves the nursery. He is always talking about the different activities he has taken part in and what he has been learning/ talking about with the 'teachers'. The staff are brilliant and my little boy adores the staff in his room. There is a great menu

The nursery are amazing. All the team have been so accommodating of any changes and have made the current lockdown less stressful with the care they provide for my son. My son is very clingy and doesn't like being away from me, yet every morning they put both of us at ease with their welcoming approach
and constantly remind me that he settles as soon as I leave. I couldn't be more thankful that my son is in safe hands and learning in a great environment.

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.
