My daughter is in the baby room and she loves coming into nursery. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. They work hard to keep the kids entertained, fed and watered during the day. I was nervous for putting my little one into nursery but now I feel completely at ease, knowing how much she enjoys
nursery.

Great experience with Wee Gems over the past years.
The team is super friendly and cared for both of my kids for years! My kids loved four ladies in particular.

Wee Gems in Broxburn have been amazing in helping our boy settle into his new place at nursery. He's grown so much over the past 4 months in being there. All staff are great and keep us well informed of anything going on in the nursery as well as our boys day to day. All staff are always welcoming and
making 100% effort with the children On a daily basis.

I send two children to this nursery and have been constantly comforted and reassured by the staff with every step of my kids' learning and development. I have never felt uninformed, or that my kids have not enjoyed their time here. I can't fault this place. The staff are excellent.

We are very happy with our daughter's progress. They have helped her a lot in moving from diapers to the toilet and she is independent and capable. She always says that I can do it because I am a big girl. And they have taught her that there.

My son has been attending Wee Gems Broxburn since April 2024 and I couldn't be happier with our experience! The staff are incredibly warm, caring, and attentive, creating a safe and nurturing environment where my son has truly thrived.
The facilities are fantastic, with plenty of engaging activities
that support learning and development in a fun and creative way. I've noticed such a positive change in my son's confidence, social skills, and overall happiness since starting here. The communication from the nursery is also excellent- I always feel well-informed about his progress and daily experiences.
It's reassuring to know that he's in such good hands every day. My son can have days where he can be upset going in but the staff always have amazing distractions for him to ease him into the day and it makes me feel better knowing he is happy when I leave.

My daughter has been at Wee Gem’s, Broxburn since she was 10 months old. She’s now 2.5. She settled in well into Wee Gems and loves going. The staff are all fantastic and the biggest asset to the nursery. They are friendly, kind, approachable, and professional and my daughter has made great relationships
with them. She talks fondly of her key workers. Overall I am very happy with our experience at Wee Gems. And I go to work happy in the knowledge she is being well looked after.

Since my daughter has joined this nursery. We have seen a massive difference in her. Bringing out her character, helping her motor skills, social skills and all-round confidence. It used to be hard to leave her now at drop-off it’s like I’m not even there, making it so easy to leave her and let her
enjoy her day.

We love Wee Gems. Our son has been at Wee Gems for just over six months now, and we honestly cannot fault anything. The level of care he receives whilst at Wee Gems is unmatched. During these six months, our son has transitioned from the baby room to the toddler room, and we could not be happier with
how the transition went. It was such a seamless transition, and the staff were all so understanding and kind and went out of their way to ensure our son had a comfortable experience. The staff at Wee Gems are amazing. They genuinely care about the well-being and development of the children. We have been amazed at how much our son is learning, and it’s all down to the staff. You are all brilliant! I would 100% recommend this nursery in a heartbeat!

My daughter has been going to Wee Gems for over a year now. At the start (and sometimes even now), I suffered major separation anxiety from her. The staff sent/sent me a message every morning to let me know she had settled well. I've felt nothing but warmth and comfort from every single staff member.
We had a lot of problems with weaning when our girl first started, and thanks to the staff working with her, she's a great wee eater now.
She has come on leaps and bounds in every aspect.
Couldn't imagine sending my girl anywhere else.

The staff at Wee Gems are fantastic as they provide a safe environment for our children. As a parent, I enjoy the regular updates provided by the staff about the general activities of the children and the regular development updates too. My children are always welcomed by name when they arrive in the
morning and the handover updates in the evening are clear and detailed which gives me a sense of a caring environment. Thank you, Wee Gems Broxburn.

Our 15-month-old daughter is almost jumping out of our arms to get into the nursery as we drop her off in the mornings, which we are delighted to see as it clearly shows how much she enjoys it and it makes us feel at ease as this is our first child so have never had to do this before. Every staff member
we have spoken to knows our daughter by name and they all take the time to chat with us about how well she gets on each day. The manager of the baby room also takes the time to provide detailed reports every so often describing how well our daughter is progressing. We can tell they really do care about their job.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.638)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.638) out of 10 for Wee Gems - Broxburn 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 16 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 4.911 for Wee Gems - Broxburn is calculated as follows: ( (176 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.911

  • 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 4.727 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Wee Gems - Broxburn is based on 16 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 110 number of registered child places is 22. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 22 = 0.727

  • 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.
