Very happy with the care our little boy receives here. He enjoys it. He is growing up to be a confident, social little boy.
The staff are great and very supportive, especially at a time when he was adjusting to his new sister being born. He was out of sorts. The staff could tell this and helped him
get through this change in his life. Cannot thank them enough.

The nursery have been amazing at helping to settle in my daughter. I have been anxious through the pandemic of her starting nursery but the girls have been amazing at reassuring me throughout the stage. I always receive great feedback at the end of the day.

This is a great nursery with so much flexibility for the working parent. Early openings and only closed at Christmas and New Year means neither myself of my husband even have to worry about childcare. Not just that the teams are fantastic with my son having moved from toddlers into pre-school with ease.
He loves the varied play sessions, especially the outdoor forest play and nature trail to see the aeroplanes. All of the staff know him well and his likes/dislikes and will miss the teams when he leaves to go to school. Would highly recommend.

I was nervous leaving my son for the first time when returning to work, however, the staff at Happitots put me at ease. Settling in days were offered which helped ease him in gently. The staff are friendly and reassuring. You can see how warm they are to all the children and you can call anytime to
check in with them without feeling like a pest! The flexibility is a big bonus, but in all honesty, the staff make it the wonderful place it is.

Very friendly staff. My daughter has been with Happitots Glasgow Airport for nearly two years now, I am extremely happy with the care provided. My daughter has moved from baby room, 1-2 and now to 2-3 room and the transition through each room has been excellent.

My daughter (15months) has been at the nursery since she was 8 months old. She loves her time at nursery and has settled well since day 1. The staff are nice and friendly, always putting the children first. As I work shifts the nursery offer flexibility in the childcare I require which you don’t get
at other nurseries.
This is the second time I have used Happitots as my son (6) went here also when we moved to the area. He loved it too. Perfect location next to the main motorway also. Would recommend it to anyone.

I put both of my sons into Happitots at Glasgow Airport from the age of 8 months old and they are still there at the ages of 4 and 2yrs.
My husband and I both work shifts, so having the flexibility that Happitots offer is just fab meaning that we have never had to worry about childcare outwith council-run
nursery times.
The staff are excellent with the children and when your children come home chatting about their key worker constantly - you know they are doing a good job!
Overall, I would definitely recommend Happitots to any parent for children of any age as I have watched how my boys have grown with this nursery and how much they have learned in the time they have spent there and can honestly say they have done an amazing job!
Well done Happitots and thank you!

Great nursery, my son has recently started and although he is still upset at drop off he quickly settles with lots of cuddles. The staff seem really caring and friendly. The flexible shift patterns are ideal with my job as I work unpredictable shifts. Would recommend to others.

The flexibility of the nursery allows my hubby and I both to continue full time at our shift work jobs. Our child has come on leaps and bounds since starting almost 2 years ago. He loves it and the staff are fantastic with him. We love that on nice days they are outside and that the staff know our little
one almost as well as we do. Can't rate enough.

As a first time mum, I was extremely nervous about putting my daughter into nursery when I was due to go back to work, however, after visiting the nursery and speaking with staff, I felt confident enough to start. We were offered settling in days which were catered to our own needs and as my daughter
struggled, they offered us more time to help settle her in. The girls all took their time to get to know her and are so kind about me calling to check she’s ok.
We’ve been supported by all staff with our daughter's medical needs including allergies and the staff have been great with putting in a care plan and full meal plan for her so she had a varied and healthy diet. I really enjoy the learning journals we get back every day that let me know what activities my daughter has enjoyed and how she’s been throughout the day. I would highly recommend the nursery and wouldn’t hesitate to use Happitots for our next baby.

I can't recommend this nursery highly enough! We moved here from a reputable nursery on a recommendation and we've never looked back! Our son has been here since he was 2 and a half (Sep 2017 ) he absolutely loves it. The outdoor space is fantastic - on our first visit our son wanted to stay and play
outside with his new friends. The staff are brilliant, we have complete confidence that our son's needs are met and more. Any time he has been unwell we have felt like he has been cared for as if it were a family member looking after him. The food is first class and the care is 10 out of 10.

We are so happy with the care our boys receive at Happitots. The staff are so caring and patient, they are the biggest selling point! It is rare to find a nursery with the flexibility to accommodate shift workers, and this has been amazing for us. I love how the nursery has been very allergy aware as
our son has a nut allergy and it can be a worry in some settings.

Our daughter has been with Happitots since she was 6 months old and is now 16 months and absolutely thriving. The staff are fantastic and the services and facilities are amazing. We have been so impressed, I would certainly recommend, as most parents know it's a hard decision to leave your child with
someone else and the staff made it really easy and gave a level of comfort that as a parent you look for.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.882)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.882) out of 10 for Happitots Nursery Glasgow Airport 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 40 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 40 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 4.882 for Happitots Nursery Glasgow Airport is calculated as follows: ( (425 Excellents x 5) + (46 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 476 Ratings = 4.882

  • 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 Glasgow Airport is based on 40 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 91 number of registered child places is 18.2, which has been reached with 40 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.
