Brilliant nursery. I feel comfortable leaving my girl here while I am at college. She loves her nursery as do I. Her nursery teachers are all amazing and help her team.

I have found the past couple of years have helped me to continue my daughters learning more than I would have by myself. I feel this has benefited us both in a great way. Everyone is so welcoming and very helpful in all aspects related.

Fantastic nursery and wonderful key workers. My daughter has had issues with settling in after being dropped off and dealing with large groups but the staff spent a lot of time and effort helping her. The girl graduating this month is a very different girl to the one who started here. Thank you Happitots.

Both my girls have been very settled within this nursery. The development I have noticed in the girls since attending nursery proves how much time is spent with them. The staff are very easy to talk to and are always happy to help with any queries I have.

I am really pleased with the nursery, teachers and the way my child has progressed. Since he attended, he has come out of his shell and is so much more confident in social situations. His numbers, colours, shapes have excelled. He speaks fondly of his favourite teacher at home.

The staff and facilities are all fantastic. Couldn't ask for a better group of girls to look after my children, the transition to next room was smooth and professional. The Management are lovely and considerate and always there if required.

My daughter has attended Happitots since she was 8 months old and I can, honestly, say this nursery is the best, she loves going and enjoys learning. I am amazed every day with her progress.

Very happy with my child's progress (speech, social skills) and independence, she is happy to go to nursery with no anxiety of me leaving. Always happy when getting collected, kept very well informed by key worker. Very happy.

I couldn't recommend this nursery enough! The lengths that the staff go to provide care for my niece and to provide learning opportunities for her and the other children is incredible.
They fill both me and her parents with great confidence when leaving my niece in their hands as I know that I am
leaving her happy and in a safe environment.

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.
