My daughter is absolutely loving her time at nursery. She loves all of her teachers they are great with her. I really worried about her being in someone else's care other than mine and her dads but with how good it has turned out I wish I had sent her sooner. I am so happy! I'm always praising the girls and recommending the nursery to other mums.

Absolutely cannot recommend this nursery highly enough. Our son has recently joined, and from the very first enquiry to his settling-in period, the entire experience has been exceptional. The staff are incredibly welcoming and professional, and they've created a nurturing, safe environment where our little one feels comfortable and happy. I feel truly confident leaving my child in their care, knowing that he is in such capable hands. If you're considering a nursery, I would wholeheartedly recommend this one to anyone.
Thank you for your kind words and for choosing Bright Starts Glasgow. We love having your little one in the nursery and cannot put into words how loving you all are as a family. It is lovely getting to know him and creating memories along the way. He has settled in well into nursery and we cannot wait to develop his confidence and self-esteem further.
This is my little one's first week at nursery and so far, I really can't fault the experience. The staff in the baby room are so attentive and caring. I spent time during the settling-in period in the room with the staff and children and you can really tell how much they care for each child and...
As a first-time mum and someone who was extremely nervous, this week they have certainly made this transition much easier. The app updates and run down of their day when collecting him has provided so much peace of mind. Great experience so far.
Thank you so much for choosing Bright Starts Glasgow as your nursery of choice. I am so glad you are having a lovely experience in the nursery and the Famly app is updated for you to measure your little ones day. We are looking forward to creating forever memories with you all over the next few years.
The app is great and it's always up to date on what my child's up to.
Friendly staff.

As a parent, it's such a relief knowing she's happy and safe in a place where she feels comfortable. The staff are amazing, they're always friendly and go out of their way to help. Seeing my daughter who used to be clingy, become more confident has been incredible, all thanks to this nursery and their staff.
The facilities are great, everything is safe, and she loves the activities they do each day. I also love getting updates from staff about how her day went.
I'd highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a safe, fun, and educational place for their child. The team really goes above and beyond!

My child has been attending this nursery for a while and I couldn't be more pleased with the care and attention they receive. Since the new head and assistant staff took over, the level of care has noticeably improved. The staff are incredibly nurturing, creating a warm and secure environment where...
What I appreciate most is the consistent communication with parents. I am always well informed about my child's progress and any upcoming events. The facilities are well-maintained, clean, and stocked with a wide variety of educational toys and resources, making it a fantastic space for children to learn and grow. Overall, this has been a highly positive and enriching experience for our family. We're very grateful to have found such a wonderful nursery. Really Bright Starts!

Staff here genuinely care about the children they look after. Communication with parents is open and receptive to the family's needs. Children are treated as individuals and encouraged and well supported. Staff are polite and keen to foster a positive relationship with both kids and their grown-ups. My child is excited to arrive in the morning and full of smiles when I collect her. They've been working very hard to build creative areas for the children to learn and explore and a lot of thought has gone into every play section. It's worth noting my child has additional needs and the staff have worked closely with us to make sure she is included and supported.
Thank you for your kind words, we, at Bright Starts, value each and every one of our children and their families, maintaining our parent partnerships is of great importance to us. We love seeing your little one arriving at nursery full of smiles and raring to go into her playroom environment ready to explore and investigate through her play.
Excellent nursery school, my kids have been attending since they were babies, they are now preschool-age. Can't find a fault, great atmosphere and safe environment and most of all, my kids enjoy attending.

I love to hear that you are happy with Bright Starts Glasgow, it is great that you have been a part of the new nursery takeover and recognise a great atmosphere. The girls love coming into nursery and their characteristics and personality inspire us all. They are so loving and friendly to everyone in nursery, testament to their loving mummy.

My little girl's confidence has grown so much since she started at Bright Starts Nursery in February. She loves being at nursery and loves spending time with all the other children. This was the main reason I put my girl into nursery as she didn't spend much time with other children and I'm so glad I did because she's come on leaps and bounds. Whenever she's not at nursery she's asking to go so that gives me confidence that she is well looked after and also having a great time while she's there. The outdoor facilities are fantastic!
We love to welcome your little one into nursery and she has definitely increased her confidence since February. She has become very confident in expressing herself and loves the familiarity of her nursery routine. She really does love all her garden experiences and is such a social butterfly.
Staff are all brilliant and over the past year built a lovely relationship with our son, he is so happy when he sees the girls. Very good communication from the nursery with pictures and updates about how his day is going.

Everyone knows everyone and it's such a warm home/family feeling. My daughter has been attending since she was 8 months and will be 3 come January. The support I have received and how much my daughter has come on is unbelievable. I couldn't recommend this nursery any more.

Staff are fabulous, very attentive, caring and thoughtful. During the time of transitioning from baby room to toddler room, my child had a bit of hard time for dealing with that, but the staff would quickly respond to her insecurity and settle her and assure me that if everything was ok afterwards.
I can see my child is really enjoying her time at Bright Starts because every morning she is a bit grumpy to let me dress her up, but if I say you're going to the nursery she would immediately jump up and let me change her outfit.
Thank you guys for giving my child such a great time with you and letting her feel loved and cared every time she's there.
I am so pleased to hear that her transition from babies to toddlers was very successful and the team took extra care to listen and respond well to her needs. I love hearing you mention nursery and she is keen to come to nursery. The team really do go the extra mile to ensure she is nurtured whilst in nursery.
My son has grown and grown with confidence whilst attending this nursery over the past 3 years. We really appreciate the regular photos and updates on the app and the recent upgrades to the nursery facilities and environment. My son loves the outside space and it is fun, engaging and safe.

My child loves it and we feel welcomed.

It is lovely to see your little one coming in confidently and smiling every morning as he is welcomed by the staff. He absolutely adores the outdoor environment, playing with his friends. He has developed a lot of confidence and social skills within his familiar routine.
Our daughter has been at the nursery for 10 months, and overall, it's been a great experience. The transition from toddler room to the preschool room was much smoother for her, and she absolutely loves it. The staff understood that my daughter could be quite anxious and gave extended settling in...
The manager, has been extremely welcoming, and since taking over, there have been many improvements like new room equipment, toys, and a wonderful outdoor garden.
The nursery tailors activities to each child's interests, which keeps our daughter excited about learning. Her eating habits have improved too, thanks to the great lunches - they inspire her to try new foods at home! She also learned the alphabet in sign language, a testament to the creative learning environment provided by the staff.
The staff are always lovely and keep us updated on how her day goes at pick up. Highly recommend this nursery!

It is lovely to hear that you share our vision for effective transitions within nursery. I am so pleased that she had a positive transition that has allowed her to develop, increased confidence to express herself within her room. I love hearing that she is trying new foods and becoming more curious with a variety of food groups which has now extended to her home. We believe that teaching children sign language through Makaton plays a fundamental role in communicating with all children and adults to promote inclusivity for all.
The staff have been great helping my son settle into nursery. They are all very attentive and there is always good communication from them. They spend a lot of time outdoors which my son loves. The nursery is welcoming from walking in the front door.

We love welcoming your child into nursery each day he is in. From the lovely cuddles to expressing his needs through gestures and easy stages of communication. It is lovely to see and hear his confidence grow when he is with his friends and in larger group experiences. He is such a happy boy and we love having him in nursery.
