My son has been attending Happitots since April 2021 and loves it. The staff are so friendly and really care about the children. They have a great selection of activities, toys and garden area and he bounces out of nursery each day saying "I had so much fun at nursery!". There was a period during the
staffing crisis we considered moving him, but are now so glad we didn't; it's really turned around.

My daughter has recently started at the nursery and from her first settle was made to feel very welcome by all the staff who all took an interest in what she has been doing. My daughter has settled in really well at the nursery always looking forward to attending and enjoys coming home and telling us
all about her day which seems very busy. In only a short space of time, I have noticed that she seems more entertained by new things and has already taken a strong interest in knowing her colour numbers. I can't wait to see how much more progress she continues to make and think the girls are all doing a fantastic job supporting my daughter's development already

My daughter has been attending Happitots Nursery Robryston for the past 3 years. She has been enjoying it every day. Staff are always helpful and welcoming. They are able to accommodate all her needs, big or small. There's always loads of activities going around and loads of arts and crafts which my
daughter loves. Plenty of ideas and interests for her to explore from drawing to construction side to role play toys and staff encourage children for outdoor play as much as possible. Their outdoor play area has been refurbished last year with loads of space for playing or riding scooters, balance bikes etc. The current management has really brought up positive changes into the nursery.

I would definitely not recommend this nursery. It has been in a staffing crisis and rooms have regularly had to close leaving parents incredibly stressed finding last-minute childcare. The baby room has recently had to close for four weeks as they weren’t able to staff it. Such a shame as it is in a
great location and the staff that are there in the rooms are lovely.

My daughter started at Happitots Nursery Robroyston six months ago and has come on so much since. When she first started at the nursery when she was 18 months old when she was only happy being left with one of two very close family members. She settled well in the nursery within weeks and now loves
going in and sings songs all the way home. All of the staff are so friendly and engaging, making her transition to the 2-4 room easy for her. Friends and family have all noticed such a boost in her confidence since joining the nursery. I had asked the nursery to focus with her on her speech which has come on so much and they also offer her a wide variety of toys and activities both indoors and out.

Our son, who has been with the nursery since he was 8 months old, is always happy to go to the nursery. The staff in sunbeam are amazing with him.
It's lovely to see all the engaging and fun activities that the kids get to do in his room. And as a parent, I feel good leaving him at the nursery, knowing
he will have a great time.

Our son has been at Happitots for 3 months now and team in his room have been great at welcoming him. Initially, he was upset being dropped off and collected, probably the same as most 1-year-olds, but now he loves going and we've seen his development jump forward. We've also been supported hugely in
a recent allergy query with our son, the team have been great at adapting his meals and snacks. We love the feedback of his day via the app, it's great to keep in touch with his day to day, especially when you get photos sharing their activities. You can see when you're there that the team in his room really care about the kids, and it's really encouraging as a parent to see that. We've only been at the nursery 3 months and due to Covid only been inside for the last few weeks so there are some areas we can't comment on for example we haven't seen the garden and for a view on Facilities/Learning/Resources we don't feel we've had enough time to rate these properly, but we're positively optimistic.

My daughter started at Happitots Robroyston in October 2021. I was very nervous about leaving her at first because of the pandemic and especially since I couldn’t go into the nursery with her, it was incredibly difficult to hand her over to a masked stranger and off into a strange place.
However,
the staff have always been amazing and my daughter is thriving at this nursery. She runs off in the morning and doesn’t look back. She is learning lots and I see new things in her every week that she has learned. The staff are so lovely and caring and my daughter has developed close bonds with many of them.
The nursery has particularly improved since the new manager took over. We have noticed big improvements in communication and a real effort to involve us.
We would absolutely recommend this nursery to other families and would like to thank all the staff for all that they do for our daughter.

My grandson was two when he started the nursery. My daughter and I were worried as he was a very active toddler. He settled in with no issues. The staff are amazing with him, the bond he has with the staff is the best you could ask for. My daughter felt secure that he was well looked after. My grandson
came on in leaps and bounds, learning so quickly. He loves nursery and we struggle to get him out.

My son has attended Enchanted Forest Nursery for 15 months now and loves it. The staff helped him to settle in and know and care for him really well. He has come on well with his speech and social skills so much since he started and has formed lovely friendships. My husband and I love receiving all
of the little pieces of artwork that he makes as well as his daily diary entries. I would highly recommend this nursery to other parents.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Both of my children have attended Enchanted Forest nursery for over 2 years. Since starting as babies, they have both come on so well thanks to all the staff who looked after them from the baby room right to 2-3yrs and 3-5yrs room. One thing I especially love is the online journals that each child has
that the staff fill out each day, telling you everything that they have eaten for the day, if they have had a nap, had a wet or dirty nappy/ had an accident and what activities they have done on that day. Another favourite thing of mine is that they can add photos to the online journal so, at the end of each day, I can log on and see what they have been doing and show my children the photos to encourage conversation on what they did at nursery today.

This nursery has provided a safe and vibrant educational environment for my son to grow and flourish. For the moment he entered Enchanted Forest Nursery all the staff have been so trustworthy, enthusiastic, kind, creative, hard-working and inspiring through the educational activities they provide for
all the children. Their level of care provided is fantastic as they let me know every detail of what he has eaten, when he has slept, what activities he has taken part in and take a genuine interest in his wellbeing. I can’t thank all the staff enough for this and it truly is a wonderful place for my baby to grow in the care of these outstanding childcare professionals. He has developed drastically with all the amazing resources, outdoor learning experiences, nutritious meals and opportunities to develop social skills with both adults and children. I could not recommend this nursery and its staff enough. Thanks for everything you do for our son and our family.

Amazing nursery with excellent staff. My daughter took longer than expected to settle in but they worked with us on a phased settling in period which really worked well. Now my daughter skips in through the doors and is such a happy and confident girl. She has made new friends and loves every day there.
There is a great range of activities and plenty of time to play outdoors every day. Can't recommend highly enough!! Thank you.

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.
