My son has been in the nursery since the baby room and is now in the preschool room. The staff have always been amazing with my son and he loves his time there. They have great communication with the parents as well.

My daughter has been going to the nursery for the past two years in room 3-5. She absolutely loves it and is always excited to see friends and staff every day. The staff are friendly, helpful, and caring. They give her a warm, supportive and safe environment. My daughter has grown so much in confidence
and communication. The nursery has outdoor activities for kids to explore and play. I appreciate the updates that keep me informed about her progress. Thank you for all your hard work! Would highly recommend.

My child has been attending nursery since August 2024 and runs in every day so excited. She loves playing with her friends in the Baby Room and all of the staff are so kind to her. They really care about her and update us on all her progress. We found Parents Evening really insightful and my childs
Key Worker gave us targets to work on at home with her too.

I must say I am delighted with the whole team and the way they help my little daughter since she joined this nursery. I picked up the nursery based on the reviews other parents and I think I made the best decision. She started when she was a baby and the girls had helped her to settle in. Is not easy
for a parent to leave their child with someone you don't know but the staff here are absolutely amazing, gentle and kind. My daughter loves going to nursery and she is enjoying it every day and I am more than grateful for the care, devotion and passion that they have with children.
Thank you very much Happitots for giving the reassurance than my little one is having best of care every day.

Could not recommend Happitots Nursery Cumbernauld enough. My son is still unsettled going in most days but the staff make sure he is comforted and always provide me with an update to let me know he has settled quickly and is happy and enjoying his day. The staff are great, even though he is upset to
leave me he is comfortable to go with them. They are always doing different activities and the picture updates are excellent.
The managers are great, always available and really accommodating if you need anything. Nothing is ever too much trouble. An excellent nursery.

Daughter has been going here for almost a year now and they have been very patient with her struggling to leave me in the morning. Now she is toilet training, they are working with me to help her learn this skill, even when she struggles when not at home.

I registered my child last year for nursery and we went along to a couple of open days so my child could recognise the nursery he will be going to.
He started this January and he has settled right into the nursery, the staff are so friendly and has kept me up to date with his wellbeing.

Both of my children have attended this nursery since they were infants full time and have both been made to feel valued and comfortable with staff from all rooms. The staff are excellent at building and maintaining therapeutic relationships with the children to help them feel able to develop their social
and emotional needs based on trust and excellent communication skills. The nursery as a whole is accommodating to every child's needs and supports children in different stages of their development to help them thrive and build confidence within their social surroundings. Parents are kept up to date via the app daily on their child's activities of daily living and my children feel safe and happy at nursery. I would recommend this nursery to anybody looking for a safe and happy environment for their child to be cared for.

My son has been going to this nursery for 2 months now since he was 6 months old and he absolutely loves it. I was anxious about leaving him so young, however seeing how happy and comfortable he is there really puts me at ease when I'm at work. When I drop him off in the morning he kicks his legs gets
excited to see the nursery staff, and cuddles into them which shows he feels comfortable around them. They do activities with him every day and they made pictures and cards with him to give to us, which I absolutely loved and will treasure forever. You are always kept updated on the app, and I love seeing all the different activities he gets up to throughout the day and getting pictures of him playing and smiling away. I do the flexible working plan, which is ideal for my family as we are able to put him on a different day every week, which suits us perfectly as my husband works shifts. They are always very flexible and as accommodating as possible. Would highly recommend.

This is the second time I have used the nursery, the first time being when my older children were young. I have currently 3 children within the nursery and all 3 are really enjoying their time here, all so happy to come to nursery, when at home will talk about things they have done or learnt. All staff
are fantastic from management to the staff in the room.
