Happitots has been amazing for both me and my son. Staff are extremely professional yet approachable and the level of care they show toward the children is admirable. Any queries are always welcome and they are more than happy to facilitate care around studies. Can’t speak highly enough of Happitots
and their staff, a great all-round nursery!

I would highly recommend Happitots Nursery South Lanarkshire. Both of my children have attended here and both have been extremely happy. The staff are brilliant - friendly, considerate, full of energy and enthusiasm and genuinely care about the children. The day is full of activities, encouraging the
children to work and learn together, take turns but above all have lots of fun doing it. There is a big emphasis on healthy habits - from playing and exploring outside to learning about healthy eating and experimenting with making and eating different healthy foods. Fabulous nursery and staff.

My eldest attended this nursery ten years ago and now my youngest attends it. I loved it back then and it’s even better now. The manager strives to provide the best care which really shows and the staff are fantastic! I would recommend this nursery to everyone.

The nursery itself is very big and visiting other nurseries, that’s something I noticed. I love the fact that the baby room has a separate section for the babies to sleep in and it is closed off so no other babies can enter. The staff, every time I’ve been there, are always attentive to the children
and are very caring which I adore as well.
My son has grown and gained a lot of skills thanks to the nursery and I love the fact I get to view what he has done and I get pictures and or videos of the activities that he participated in during his time at the nursery. The nursery is good and they should keep up the good work.

I think my son being at nursery has helped him develop his social skills. He is always happy going to nursery and coming back and the staff are always welcoming and polite and helpful with whatever you need. He loves the nursery and all the staff and I can see his social skills developing even further
from being there. I think the nursery standards are very high and the staff are fantastic.

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.
