I find the nursery staff incredibly friendly and genuinely caring. I trust them to meet my child's every need. The facilities are clean and my child always seems happy when going to nursery and upon return. I cannot fault the place and have told other parents about them and recommended them as a possible
destination of daycare for their children.

My son has attended Happitots since he was 9 months old, he has come on so much and absolutely loves the nursery and all the staff. The staff at Happitots, from trainee nursery nurses to management are very professional and all take the time to make me feel at ease when dropping my son off. I never
have any doubt about the love and care he receives when here, and love hearing all about his day when I pick up. Thanks so much girls :):)

4 of my grandchildren have attended Happitots in Bishopbriggs for the last 6years. The staff make the nursery such a fun, loving environment for the children. The nursery is a bright, interesting and stimulating learning environment for children. The staff show genuine interest and love for all individual
children and I know that my grandchildren have thrived from their experiences they get within Happitots. Thank you and keep up the good work!!

I would highly recommend Happitots Bishopbriggs. Both my daughters have been here since 6 months old over the past 9 years. The ladies get to know every individual child and are exceptionally caring and kind. They make leaving them to go to work easier. The nursery adapts to each child's needs while
being consistent in the care given and we are very happy we found it for our girls.

Our daughter has been attending Happitots since August 2016. In that time she has thrived. She is more confident and a better communicator. She is happy and outgoing and loves attending nursery. She tries new foods and enjoys talking about her day. We are kept updated on her progress via the online
profile - in fact, we know more about how she is developing than we do about her big sister in primary school. The nursery uses social media well and we could not be happier with how our daughter is developing.

Our children have been attending altogether for about 7 years and throughout the years, we really just don't have the words to express how grateful we are for the support and care given to our children. The encouragement and confidence the nursery have given to our children in different aspects of
their learning is all I need to know that we have made the right choice in nursery.

My little girl has attended this nursery for 2 years now and I have not had a bad word to say about the nursery or any of its staff in that time. Staff are cheery and welcoming and always happy to help. My daughter absolutely loves the nursery and is always asking when it's time to go back before she
has even left. She has progressed so much in the time that she has been there and that is all thanks to the staff and their teaching.

I honestly could not be happier with the staff and the nursery in general. I visited several nurseries in the area and I was very impressed with Happitots Bishopbriggs. The girls are all amazing and welcomed myself and my child with open arms. I even get a little report card on my daughter's day which
is so lovely and allows me to be involved when I can't be. Thanks Happitots I am extremely happy with the service and will 100% recommend to anyone.

My son has attended this nursery since he was just over a year old. He's now pre-school age. Like most first time mums, I was so nervous about leaving my son however all staff are so incredibly warm and really care for the kids. My son has speech therapy and the nursery have also been a great support
with speech therapy. Highly recommend. Everyone is lovely and the kids are in safe hands I will be sad when he leaves as he has created great bonds here. In the future, should I have more kids I would absolutely enrol here again.

Staff are extremely helpful and approachable throughout the whole nursery. The improvements have made a huge difference and making the environment welcoming and relaxing for the kids. My son is in the toddler room and the staff are lovely and know my son very well. Always there to welcome him in the
morning and has made him feel settled within the nursery.

My little boy loves nursery, the girls could not be more welcoming when I drop him off and he has always had a fun filled day when I collect him. If it is a nice day the staff always have them out, whether it's in the garden or out for a walk. The feedback I receive is excellent, in fact, it allows
me to feel as though I have been there with him. The staff provide opportunities for my son to build his independence and is constantly involved in social activities allowing him to build on his relationships which I think is brilliant. He is also coming out of his shell at home and has now started crawling which I think being in the nursery has helped push him along.

Well managed nursery. Staff all appropriately trained. Great environment for children to learn play and develop. Staff encourage children in their developmental progress. Varied menus for all the children. Well maintained rooms for each age group with appropriate toys and learning opportunities. Children
are out in fresh air and regularly visit areas in the community. Parents are kept well informed of child's development.

Both my children have attended Happitots since they were small babies; they now attend the After School Club. The nursery provides a safe, reliable and nurturing environment, that both my children have benefited from. They have a flexible, can do attitude and are extremely supportive. I really believe
the nursery has gone from strength to strength over the years and the team are their own success story...

My daughter has attended Happitots since she was 10 months and started in the baby room, she has gone through every room throughout the years and is now in the pre-school room getting ready to leave for school. The staff at happitots have been amazing with her, she has come on leaps and bounds and has
gained so much confidence aswell as in her learning and speech. I cannot thank the staff enough for all their hard work, they take the time to get to know your child and communicate daily with you as a parent on what your child has done on that day. I would highly recommend any parent to put their child in Happitots Bishopbriggs.

Current Review Score: 8.4 (8.423)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.4 (8.423) out of 10 for Happitots Nursery Bishopbriggs is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 4 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 4.766 for Happitots Nursery Bishopbriggs is calculated as follows: ( (36 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 47 Ratings = 4.766

  • 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 3.657 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Happitots Nursery Bishopbriggs is based on 4 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 = 3.375

    • 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 71 number of registered child places is 14.2. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.2 = 0.282

  • 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.
