I was really wary of putting my daughter into nursery as she had only ever been with me. As soon as you enter the nursery, there is a warm friendly feeling. Staff were excellent at settling my daughter and also supporting me. I am glad I choose them. She loves nursery and doesn't want to leave. Which
says it all really.

This nursery is amazing. My girl loves it and she enjoys every single minute of it. She learns a lot here, she is 4-years-old and already, she could go to school with the amount of knowledge she has gained from Happitots Nursery.

Staff are amazing with my daughter. This is her third year with Happitots, but first-year without her older brother there, which has been difficult for her. As always, the staff have been able to support my daughter and myself throughout. Also, love the daily updates you get.

The nursery is a fantastic place for the children to play and grow as individuals and the staff are all so attentive to the needs of each child and I have been very happy to leave my daughter and know that she will be very well taken care of. The food that is provided for the children is great also
because there is a wide variety of healthy snacks and healthy meals all prepared fresh daily for the children. Overall it's a brilliant nursery.

I can't say enough about how great my little girl's nursery is. The staff are fantastic and go right out of their way and more for the kids.
The nursery itself is kept to a very high standard in all areas. My little girl doesn't adapt to change very well and she has been to a few nurseries and this
nursery and their staff have done wonders. They are so helpful and accommodating I don't know what I'd do without them.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.892)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.892) out of 10 for Happitots Nursery South Lanarkshire is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.892 for Happitots Nursery South Lanarkshire is calculated as follows: ( (226 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 251 Ratings = 4.892

  • b) 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 South Lanarkshire is based on 21 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 75 number of registered child places is 15, which has been reached with 21 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
