Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My youngest son and two nieces attend Enchanted Forest. I chose this nursery based on location, price and facilities. The staff are so friendly and are brilliant at settling the children. I'm kept well informed with a daily diary, facebook and weekly email updates. There seem to be loads of well planned
seasonal activities for the children. The only thing I feel the nursery is maybe missing is yearly summer or pantomime outing!

I had my daughter in a few different nurseries but she wasn't settling and I was never settled either when I was leaving her. As soon as we went for a visit to Enchanted Forest Nursery in Robroyston, She loved it, she didn't want to come home after her settle in days. The nursery is so bright and the
cleanliness is impeccable. The staff are all so friendly and loving towards all the kids. My daughter is sometimes a bit strange first thing in the mornings but the teachers are always great at settling her in. The security in the nursery is very good as well, I don't have any concerns about her safety when I am leaving her. I love the updates I get each week about what she is eating and learning about as we can carry on some of her subjects in the house with her. I love that the food menu week to week varies but is also very healthy. She has always been a very fussy eater but since starting in this nursery she is much better now. This is a 5-star nursery.

Enchanted Forest is a fantastic nursery.
The staff are extremely kind and friendly and show your little one so much love and care. My son loves to go to nursery and loves the staff in his room.
The staff always give an in-depth rundown of his day and keeps me updated either in person or via email
on each of the topics they cover.
The nursery always keeps me well informed which is fantastic, especially when you are working all day. It's nice to hear all about what your child has been up to. I would highly recommend Enchanted Forest Nursery to anyone looking for a safe, reliable nursery for their little one.

My daughter has been difficult to settle due to being extremely attached to me. The staff have put a lot of time into trying to work out the things she likes and dislikes to aid in her settlement there. The girls are very patient with her from what I have seen thus far. Can definitely see a difference
now when we go in the morning... less tears!

I have already recommended this nursery to a few friends with children of similar ages to mine, my 13-month old has been in Enchanted Forest since she was 9 months old and she is clearly very happy there, from whenever I drop her off and pick her up again later in the day. I feel the staff are always
extremely friendly, caring and I know my daughter is in good hands with them. The meal selection at the nursery is great and I love that the children have a different meal every day for variety.

Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
Too corporate and rigid to be in this business. They are very clean and everything is well maintained (which I guess is the case because they don't do many activities with the kids).
My daughter hated it cried every time we took her there. Every time I went to pick her up, sometimes even an hour early
she'd sat on her own or sleeping, girls will be talking amongst themselves, kids just wandering around. No group activities, no games or painting drawing or anything like that, hence why they hardly have any fun activity uploads on their fb page. I thought maybe it's my DD, changed her nursery and following week we sent her to another local nursery and she loves it (Don't think she can have a personality change in three days). We took her out after 4months and asked for any art works, drawings etc which the staff said they will keep because they NEVER sent any home, they didn't have a single sheet of anything to give me! No wonder she hated it! Stay away if you love your child.

Spacious, clean and fairly new facilities. Staff take great care of the kids.


Maybe look at varying the carbs for meals -- there's a lot of wheat. Would be great if they would use famly to keep us updated.

My Daughter has only started with Enchanted Forest Robroyston and so far I have been extremely happy with the service, care and attention provided to me and her alike!
I came from another nursery where I had a bad experience and I was feeling very apprehensive about trusting another organisation full
of strangers.
Almost instantly I felt at ease.
By far the best aspect for me has been the friendly and conscientious staff.
Thank you EF!!

The Enchanted Forest Nursery is fantastic. My child loves spending time there and you can definitely notice why. The nursery is a fun place for children 5 and under. They do fun exciting activities and also learn/develop new skills during key stages of their growth. I am always delighted to see and
hear the things my child has done. They make it so much easier to leave for the day, not having to worry about anything.The nursery is so trusting.The continued learning they do themselves, progressing their studies in child learning and care is also fantastic.The only discrepancy I would have is the cost of childcare. There are many nurseries in surrounding areas which allow the applications for funding for children over the age of 3. My child is nearly 4 and this has not yet been put in place. They do however offer a slight discount to substitute for this. This is such a great environment for children, I hope that along with my own this becomes available soon so we can continue to use their facilities.

Enchanted Forest Nursery, Robroyston is a great place for my daughter. She is actively involved in choosing what projects and play she partakes in. She has access to outside space and has lots of stimulating play and learning activities indoors. The primary care staff have developed great bonds with
her and she regularly talks about them as friends. The only two downsides are the recent temporary lack of manager but this has now been resolved, and I await details of when my child can take advantage of free hours.
Overall, I would (and have) recommend Enchanted Forest Nursery Robroyston to other parents.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son recently started in Enchanted Forest Robroyston and I am delighted with how well he has settled. It has been one of the hardest things I've ever had to do sending my baby to nursery but the staff in Enchanted Forest have been fantastic. They have worked so hard to quickly get to know my son and
his personality.
They have fantastic lines of communication. From the first half hour my son was there they were sending emails with photos to reassure me he had settled and they are always at the end of the phone and never make you feel you are bothering them checking in on your child.
They plan great activities for the children. I love hearing all about the activities my baby has been involved each day!
I would thoroughly recommend Enchanted Forest Robroyston.

Our relocation to Glasgow with our two young children hasn't been easy, but the staff at Enchanted Forest in Robroyston have been amazing. Our children have settled brilliantly and the Manager and her team have done everything in their power to be flexible and accommodating. My children are learning

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.
