Review from D B (Father of Child) published on 13 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My boy has been at Wee Gems for nearly 3 years. The kids have lovely breakfasts and lunches and the staff are always so nice. I like seeing the pictures on the app and the observations are really helpful to see how he's getting on and where he is. Management are on it all the time and always make time to help if you have any questions. You can tell the kids love the staff too. My boy took a fit at the nursery and the staff were absolutely amazing! They did absolutely everything they could for him and were so quick with first aid and calling an ambulance. Literally can't fault them at all. They supported us as a family by checking in with us. I trust this nursery to always be the best for every child it looks after and I'm so grateful we picked them. 100% recommend Wee Gems Armadale to anyone needing childcare!

Overall Experience

Wee Gems have been amazing to my little boy. The management are lovely and the staff are always so nice. The atmosphere of the nursery is great, my boy always has access to a range of activities. They also have a garden where the kids can spend time outside. Recent renovations including toilets and floors look great too. They have always been great with my little one who has always struggled going into nursery. The staff have always been great with trying new ways to get him in and are great at communicating how he has been throughout the day. Would definitely recommend the nursery to anyone looking for childcare, my wee boy has come on massively since being there!

Reply from Alison, Nursery Manager at Wee Gems - Armadale

Thank you so much for your review. We are glad you are happy with nursery and we look forward to continuing to support your wee one on their journey.

Overall Experience

Wee Gems Nursery is like a family, both my girls go. One of my daughters went to nursery there and now goes to after school club and my other daughter is at the nursery. We had issues with my daughter going to school and Wee Gems helped. They know her from her nursery days and spent time with her to help explain why school was so important. Wee Gems has been good for both girls, making friends and learning new things. We also get regular updates about their progress which is nice to see.

Reply from Alison, Nursery Manager at Wee Gems - Armadale

Hello Pauline, We are so glad to hear you and your family feel part of our Wee Gems family. We look forward to continuing to support them both in the years to come.

Review from Maureen M (Grandmother of Child) published on 14 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My granddaughter is well cared for and secure in Little Gems, the staff encourage her curiosity and creativity, they help her to embrace change with the knowledge that she is safe.
There is a calm vibe when I collect her and she is always engaged in play with other children, as an only child she would not have this experience if she was not in nursery.
Although my granddaughter does not always try the wide range of foods available, they always ensure she has eaten something.
The staff are knowledgeable of her needs and always attentive to them.

There have been a few staff changes of late, but this has never had a negative impact, those who know my grandchild ensure that she is cared for and introduced to new staff as they arrive, this helps her to understand that change is not something to fear.

Reply from Kirsty Heaney, Deputy Manager at Wee Gems - Armadale

Thank you for your review. We are glad she is always engaged in play, and feels safe with our team.

I sent my baby boy to Wee Gems at 10 months old with me returning to work. The staff in the baby room are just amazing and my wee boy loves them and this wee nursery. He also really enjoys the outdoor space they have at Wee Gems Armadale along with the food provided.

Overall Experience

We have been at Wee Gems for nearly 2 years now and my little boy has loved it. He is nervous whenever he has moved rooms but the staff have always been great with him and us. Every day he comes home telling us what he has done and played with his friends. His speech and development have come on massively and he is doing great. Really lovely nursery that care and get to know each individual child.

Reply from Kirsty Heaney, Deputy Manager at Wee Gems - Armadale

Thank you for your review. We are glad to hear that the staff have supported both you and your boy during his transitions, and we love that he goes home and tells you all about his day.

Overall Experience

Wee Gems has been a great experience for my son. He has made lots of new friends and the staff have really helped him to increase his confidence. My son has medical needs and staff have been very accommodating of these, particularly in supporting him to manage independently, both in a practical sense and in terms of how he chooses to share with other children.

Our little boy started nursery in January. He absolutely loves going and settled in really quickly. The updates and photos on the app show how much he enjoys it, along with the excitement when we pull up in the car park. All the staff we have spoken to have been lovely and extremely helpful. He has come on leaps and bounds and is showing us new things every week. We love the updates on the app. Thank you for everything you do, especially during this difficult time.

My daughter has only been at the nursery since August but she loves it. The girls are always so friendly and welcoming and the food they are provided with is a really high standard. They are excellent with providing updates around what she is doing in the nursery and how she is getting on, which is really appreciated. She is very happy in this nursery.

My daughter has attended this nursery for the last 2 years and I have recommended it to everyone I know who has been looking for a private nursery for their child. She has had the opportunity to engage in numerous different learning experiences, create positive relationships with both staff and other children and have fun at the same time; she looks forward to going to nursery!

Review from Samantha C (Mother of Child) published on 24 May 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both my daughter and now my son have attended Wee Gems and I can honestly say I can leave each day to go to work knowing the staff will take the very best care of them. My daughter is now at nursery school but begs to go back to Wee Gems. I love that at any time I’ll come into the nursery and the girls can give me an update on everything happening and that I can watch my children play happily for a minute before they see me. So I know they genuinely love being there. I recommended Wee Gems to my friends having babies and they are also very impressed. The ParentZone app is great as I can see the progress they are making and the staff are great at keeping it updated.
