Every member of staff I encounter is helpful, professional and approachable. My daughter started nursery following lockdown and her confidence has grown immeasurably since coming to Wee Gems. She is absolutely thriving and they are so caring and kind to her.

An amazing bunch of girls that made my daughter feel right at home straight away. It was so nice to see that my eighteen month old happily walked in after just a few weeks. My daughter's talking and reacting to instructions is evident at how much she is learning from Wee Gems - Broxburn. The manager
is extremely hands on and has been on hand for any questions. Such a great team that in unprecedented times have managed to maintain a normal world for our little one, thank you so much ladies.

I absolutely love Wee Gems - Broxburn nursery. The care you give my little girl is above and beyond and she wakes up every morning to ask if she's coming to nursery. The mornings I say yes she leaps out of bed! Thank you for everything you've done during Covid-19 and the lengths you've gone to to keep
the children and parents safe. Thank you again.

My son attends Wee Gems - Broxburn and he seems to really enjoy it. It is slightly bigger than I would like so I don't always know every staff member but the staff are always very friendly and are happy to talk to you about any issues you might have. They take the children out on walks to the forest
and my son spends much of his day outside, which he loves. I think the facilities seem good and their Covid-19 measures are apparent. He seems to be given plenty to do, with number and letter games and he always comes out with a smile on his face, saying he has had a good time. Have no concerns about this venue for my child.

Our daughter has been going to Wee Gems - Broxburn since she was six months old. She's now three and a half years old. She absolutely loves her time at the nursery. The staff are always friendly, professional and approachable. The manager and her team have dealt with the Covid-19 situation very efficiently
and have kept us informed every step of the way. Brilliant nursery, we highly recommend them.

We have only had our son at this nursery for a short time but we are so pleased with how well he has settled in. He enjoys going to nursery and I am confident leaving him there. The staff are friendly, approachable, helpful and seem to have a great bond with the children in their care. This has been
a difficult year for many settings and I cannot thank every staff member enough for doing all they can, especially with the ever changing policies and guidelines, to keep my baby healthy and happy.

My son is in the preschool room at Wee Gems and loves the nursery. He is always talking about the different activities he has taken part in and what he has been learning/ talking about with the 'teachers'. The staff are brilliant and my little boy adores the staff in his room. There is a great menu
with a big variety of different meals and snacks.

Since the start, Wee Gems have made my son so welcome and he has made so much progress in under a year - he has come on leaps and bounds. All the staff are very intensive and you can always rely on them to be there if you need them. Here’s to many more years at Wee Gems and keep up the good work.

My child loves going to this nursery. They always have fun activities for the children to do. The nursery is always clean and organised and the staff are very friendly. They provide a good variety of meals for snacks and lunches. Whenever we've had to change days/hours they are always very accommodating.

The nursery are amazing. All the team have been so accommodating of any changes and have made the current lockdown less stressful with the care they provide for my son. My son is very clingy and doesn't like being away from me, yet every morning they put both of us at ease with their welcoming approach
and constantly remind me that he settles as soon as I leave. I couldn't be more thankful that my son is in safe hands and learning in a great environment.

Being a first time (older) parent, I was apprehensive at first about putting my child into all daycare, (for almost four and a half years). But my worries were unfounded. The staff are excellent in all aspects of the job, and in every area. care, play, teaching, kitchen etc.
All this has made my child
the wonderful character he has turned out to be, open-minded, intelligent and inquisitive and caring. Equipped with all the tools needed to go on and begin school. I can't thank Wee Gems of Broxburn enough, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to other parents. Once again a big "thank you Wee Gems".

Our daughter has recently joined Wee Gems and is now 10 months old. I felt anxious about returning to work/ our daughter joining nursery as my maternity leave had come to an end. However, the staff quickly put my mind at ease and I immediately had a good feeling about the nursery. I love the parent
zone link- I love I can check how she is getting on/ what she’s eaten/ how long she’s napped and viewing any pics. The staff have provided good advice regarding our daughter settling in and have been friendly and informative.

Our daughter started at this nursery in February and since then her development has come on leaps and bounds. She has made friends with other children and established strong bonds with the staff also. It is clear to see how passionate each member is about looking after the children. They do so many
activities with them to bring them on in all aspects from socialisation to mental stimulation. My daughter learns something new every day at Wee Gems - Broxburn. My daughter also has many allergies so I was anxious about how the nursery would cater for her but they have been nothing but excellent. They make sure that my daughter is included at meal times and activities involving food.

My daughter has been going to Wee Gems, Broxburn since November 2017, and like most parents having to send their child to nursery it was really hard for me. The support and kindness I received from the staff was excellent. My little girl is in JG1 room now and I have noticed great improvements. My little
girl has settled in better and I can generally see a more positive attitude. Keep up the good work!

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.
