Review from Derek R (Father of Child) published on 19 January 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Friendly and caring staff ensure that our little boy is kept safe, happy, and engaged each day leaving my wife and I free to leave him without concern. Out little boy is thriving there and the staff have come to know his little personality traits as well as we do. Highly recommend this nursery and the great work it does.

Review from Amy B (Mother of Child) published on 19 January 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Staff at Wee Gems made me and my little boy feel at ease from then very start. For a nervous first time mum and particularly clingy baby, they helped make the back to work transition much smoother for both of us. Staff are so friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely interested in getting to know the little ones. They really are a great bunch.

They are always singing, dancing, doing messy activities (which I wouldn't even attempt at home!) and out playing in the garden/out for walks. Can't fault the variety of activities they offer. Great for encouraging a child's confidence and development.

A healthy and tasty sounding menu is provided. My little boy regularly eats all and goes back for seconds so it must be good!

Parents are kept very well informed via the Parent Zone app and site which are really handy. Friends and colleagues are often impressed when I can see how my little boy's day is going from an app on my phone.

Overall, delighted with the service provided. My boy is well looked after and seems to thoroughly enjoy his days at nursery. Happy baby = happy mum. Thanks to the team at Wee Gems Armadale for doing such a great job.

Review from Heather (Mother of Child) published on 18 January 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been attending the nursery for a few months now and he loves it. There are always lots of different activities for the children to take part in. The rooms are fresh with lots of different areas to explore and plenty to keep the little ones entertained. The garden is a great bonus as my son loves playing outside.

My son is always given a warm and friendly welcome when he arrives. The staff are caring and take the time to get to know your child, and I always enjoy hearing what he has been getting up to when I go to pick him up. There is also an app where you can check in with their progress throughout the day.

I would highly recommend this nursery and I'm really happy with the service.

Overall Experience
Finding someone to look after your child when you return to work can be a daunting thing.

I was torn between childminder and nursery, but from the moment I stepped inside this nursery on their open day, I felt at ease straight away and it was like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders as I knew this is where my daughter would go.

My daughter has been going to this nursery for around 9 months now.
She absolutely loves it.

I have never had tears when leaving her and I believe the staff have never had tears from her, which in itself shows she is happy.

All the staff are friendly and knowledgable and I'm very happy leaving her in their care, knowing that they will look after her. What I like is that all the staff know my daughter not just the staff working in her room and in return I also know all the staff not just the ones looking after it.

The staff keep you up to date with the progress of your child after each visit and can always tell you everything about what they have been upto.

The nursery brings in outside organisations to do different activities with the kids which is great for giving them a taster of other social groups available out with nursery.

I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking to put their child into a nursery.

A massive thumbs up from me.
