Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Being a first time (older) parent, I was apprehensive at first about putting my child into all daycare, (for almost four and a half years). But my worries were unfounded. The staff are excellent in all aspects of the job, and in every area. care, play, teaching, kitchen etc.
All this has made my child
the wonderful character he has turned out to be, open-minded, intelligent and inquisitive and caring. Equipped with all the tools needed to go on and begin school. I can't thank Wee Gems of Broxburn enough, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to other parents. Once again a big "thank you Wee Gems".

I am very happy with the nursery as they are very accommodating. I need flexible days for my child and I only need to give one month notice. My daughter seems to be happy there. All the staff have been very nice and helpful.

Our daughter has recently joined Wee Gems and is now 10 months old. I felt anxious about returning to work/ our daughter joining nursery as my maternity leave had come to an end. However, the staff quickly put my mind at ease and I immediately had a good feeling about the nursery. I love the parent
zone link- I love I can check how she is getting on/ what she’s eaten/ how long she’s napped and viewing any pics. The staff have provided good advice regarding our daughter settling in and have been friendly and informative.

Our daughter started at this nursery in February and since then her development has come on leaps and bounds. She has made friends with other children and established strong bonds with the staff also. It is clear to see how passionate each member is about looking after the children. They do so many
activities with them to bring them on in all aspects from socialisation to mental stimulation. My daughter learns something new every day at Wee Gems - Broxburn. My daughter also has many allergies so I was anxious about how the nursery would cater for her but they have been nothing but excellent. They make sure that my daughter is included at meal times and activities involving food.

My daughter has been going to Wee Gems, Broxburn since November 2017, and like most parents having to send their child to nursery it was really hard for me. The support and kindness I received from the staff was excellent. My little girl is in JG1 room now and I have noticed great improvements. My little
girl has settled in better and I can generally see a more positive attitude. Keep up the good work!

My little girl started attending a month before her first birthday in June 2017. I am extremely happy with the care given. All the staff are lovely and the manager is really understanding and you can tell she really cares about the wee ones. I would be more than happy to recommend Wee Gems - Broxburn
to anyone looking for a friendly happy place for their children.

Fantastic nursery! My son has come on leaps and bounds since starting Wee Gems Nursery and always looks forward to going there. I have never felt nervous about leaving him there as I know he is always well looked after. All the staff are very friendly and always give you their time if you wish to talk
to them regarding your child. The activities my son has been involved in is brilliant and the stuff he has learned at such a young age simply amazes me. I would definitely recommend Wee Gems Nursery to any parent who is looking for childcare.

My son has been attending Wee Gems - Broxburn for more than a year now. I am delighted with the care and attention he receives as well as the educational experience the nursery and nursery staff provide. The nursery staff cater to his needs providing a rich variety of experiences for his age and stage.
I am always amazed by some of the activities they are doing! My son loves going to nursery which has made the process all the more straightforward for me. I know I can truly trust Wee Gems with my most treasured possession. There is excellent communication between nursery staff and myself to inform us of what the children have been doing in nursery on a day to day basis.

My son has been attending Wee Gems - Broxburn since he was 8 months old and he loves it. The staff there are lovely and so attentive and are more than happy to chat to you and have been nothing but caring towards my son. They genuinely care about the children that they look after. The food is brilliant
(I often think my son eats better than I do!) and the activities that they do throughout the day are so varied and fun! My little boy loves Wee Gems - Broxburn and I would happily recommend this nursery to friends and family.

I could not be more happy with the level of care provided at Wee Gems - Broxburn. The staff are so accommodating and my daughter loves every one of them. She gets to do so many activities, is well fed and seems to have great fun at nursery! She also has had some issues with allergies and the staff have
been brilliant with her dietary needs.

I have 2 children who attend Wee Gems - Broxburn. One child who attends the nursery and one child who attends the after-school club. I can honestly say that both my children enjoy the nursery very, very much, the staff are fantastic with the children on a daily basis. Excellent learning and development
opportunities for both the nursery and the after school club. Really healthy and nutritious food is provided to the children throughout the day. I can honestly recommend Wee Gems - Broxburn for an excellent and safe environment for your children to develop and flourish. Keep up the good work Wee Gems!

I absolutely adore this nursery and every who’s working there. My girls are always super happy to go there. Everyone is very understanding and helpful, this means a lot to us. The flexibility of the session makes such a difference!
Girls are learning a lot every day they are in and I love this new
app with all updates you can check through the day. Also, I’m very impressed with the trips organised by the nursery, my girl keeps talking about their last trip.
I would highly recommend Wee Gems to everyone! Thanks very much for doing an amazing job!

The care and attention from Wee Gems staff is second to none. From kitchen staff, nursery carers and managers. Nothing is too much trouble.
They put parents minds at ease and their interaction with the children as well as parents is a credit to the nursery.
Particular mention and credit must be given
to their willingness to help children with particular issues, be that medical, dietary or otherwise.
Great staff and great nursery.

I had my twin boys in this nursery and the boys were only little. The boys loved their time at Wee Gems and the staff were very reassuring when leaving them. On pick up from the boy's, I had a lovely bundle of pictures to show me their first day at nursery.

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.
