Since I first walked into the nursery, I was so welcomed by all the staff. Allowed me to ask all questions and showed me about. My son has settled in so well and has so much fun, and the staff get him involved. The nursery is very well kept, cleaned and modern. I don't worry when I leave my son in nursery
because he is in very good hands. :) x

My 3 year olds, started with you in June 2025 and I could not be happier. All the staff in all the rooms seem to know my daughters and understand their needs. My daughters are thriving under your care.
You support them, encourage them and my daughters literally run into Nursery to spend their day
with staff and friends.
Your Nursery continues to be inventive, creative and bring new facilities to the Nursery including a new kitchen and sensory room. Im so glad my daughters are spending their early years with you all.

This was our daughter's very first nursery and I couldn't have asked for a better start. The transition into nursery life was so smooth, and that's all thanks to the lovely team who made us feel so welcome and reassured from day one.


The girls in the toddler room have been absolutely amazing! They're

kind, patient, and genuinely care about the children. Our daughter settled in quickly and comes home happy, excited, and We truly feel she's in the best hands.


Thank you to everyone at the nursery-you've made her first experience away from home such a positive one.

All the staff have been amazing and have helped my boy settle in the past couple of months. The manager and depute manager went above and beyond to make the transition from our old nursery to this one seamless and as stress free as possible. My son's key worker has been wonderful too. It's so lovely
to hear my son come home and chat so excitedly about his day and when he wakes up in the morning and asks if it's a nursery day and I say yes his eyes light up! Such a great feeling dropping him off knowing that he is genuinely happy to be here and has lots of fun each and every day.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending nursery since August 2022 she had a little break in 2023 when I finished university and was waiting to start work. The nursery has drastically improved since new management has taken over. All staff are very welcoming and approachable. My daughter loves attending nursery
and it's evident she has built good relationships with all the staff and made some good friends. My daughter can be a fussy eater and I'm always updated on how her eating has been and alternative they provided if she didn't want what was on the menu. Her learning and development has improved greatly throughout the years too. I would highly recommend using Happitots Robroyston.

The standard of support my daughter receives is incredible! She has a fantastic relationship with her key worker and all other staff. My daughter's confidence has grown so much and I believe this is due to the constant support she receives. Her communication is improving all the time with the guidance

Excellent nursery and excellent staff. Warm, friendly and make you feel so welcome. The staff have been a great help and support to myself and my son. Great vibe and my son loves it, he is always exhausted after a day at nursery which shows he's had a great busy day. Would highly recommend this nursery

My son attends Happitots Robroyston and he absolutely loves it. Since the new management took over, the nursery has improved significantly and I have no complaints at all about the service. I know my son is happy, well cared for, nurtured, and encouraged to reach his potential. The staff are absolutely
fantastic and make sure I am kept up to date on his development and what they are working on. My son will be going to school this year and is feeling very anxious about it, the nursery staff have been great and are going out of their way to help him prepare for the transition. I know he will be so sad when the time comes to leave Happitots.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been going here since October 2023, and all I can say it has been excellent. My daughter gets excited about going to nursery and that is enough for me. Very friendly staff and management, if anything happens to my child I am always kept in the loop, I am always kept up-to-date with what
my child eats throughout the day and how often her nappy has been changed and that puts me at ease as a mother. The app is fab also. My daughter has grown so much since only being there for a few months and I am very happy with that, the nursery is always kept clean and tidy. The kids' safety is one if not their main priority.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.930)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.930) out of 10 for Happitots Nursery Robroyston 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.930 for Happitots Nursery Robroyston is calculated as follows: ( (212 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 227 Ratings = 4.93
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Happitots Nursery Robroyston is based on 19 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 81 number of registered child places is 16.2, which has been reached with 19 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
