My little girl started attending a month before her first birthday in June 2017. I am extremely happy with the care given. All the staff are lovely and the manager is really understanding and you can tell she really cares about the wee ones. I would be more than happy to recommend Wee Gems - Broxburn
to anyone looking for a friendly happy place for their children.

Fantastic nursery! My son has come on leaps and bounds since starting Wee Gems Nursery and always looks forward to going there. I have never felt nervous about leaving him there as I know he is always well looked after. All the staff are very friendly and always give you their time if you wish to talk
to them regarding your child. The activities my son has been involved in is brilliant and the stuff he has learned at such a young age simply amazes me. I would definitely recommend Wee Gems Nursery to any parent who is looking for childcare.

My son has been attending Wee Gems - Broxburn for more than a year now. I am delighted with the care and attention he receives as well as the educational experience the nursery and nursery staff provide. The nursery staff cater to his needs providing a rich variety of experiences for his age and stage.
I am always amazed by some of the activities they are doing! My son loves going to nursery which has made the process all the more straightforward for me. I know I can truly trust Wee Gems with my most treasured possession. There is excellent communication between nursery staff and myself to inform us of what the children have been doing in nursery on a day to day basis.

My son has been attending Wee Gems - Broxburn since he was 8 months old and he loves it. The staff there are lovely and so attentive and are more than happy to chat to you and have been nothing but caring towards my son. They genuinely care about the children that they look after. The food is brilliant
(I often think my son eats better than I do!) and the activities that they do throughout the day are so varied and fun! My little boy loves Wee Gems - Broxburn and I would happily recommend this nursery to friends and family.

I could not be more happy with the level of care provided at Wee Gems - Broxburn. The staff are so accommodating and my daughter loves every one of them. She gets to do so many activities, is well fed and seems to have great fun at nursery! She also has had some issues with allergies and the staff have
been brilliant with her dietary needs.

I have 2 children who attend Wee Gems - Broxburn. One child who attends the nursery and one child who attends the after-school club. I can honestly say that both my children enjoy the nursery very, very much, the staff are fantastic with the children on a daily basis. Excellent learning and development
opportunities for both the nursery and the after school club. Really healthy and nutritious food is provided to the children throughout the day. I can honestly recommend Wee Gems - Broxburn for an excellent and safe environment for your children to develop and flourish. Keep up the good work Wee Gems!

I absolutely adore this nursery and every who’s working there. My girls are always super happy to go there. Everyone is very understanding and helpful, this means a lot to us. The flexibility of the session makes such a difference!
Girls are learning a lot every day they are in and I love this new
app with all updates you can check through the day. Also, I’m very impressed with the trips organised by the nursery, my girl keeps talking about their last trip.
I would highly recommend Wee Gems to everyone! Thanks very much for doing an amazing job!

Fantastic environment and facilities, coupled with as far as I can tell the perfect team of staff who are very passionate and enthusiastic about their role.
I genuinely and sincerely as a working father of 2 young children could not ask more of this service, I am very happy with Wee Gems and would
confidently and securely recommend them to anyone.

The care and attention from Wee Gems staff is second to none. From kitchen staff, nursery carers and managers. Nothing is too much trouble.
They put parents minds at ease and their interaction with the children as well as parents is a credit to the nursery.
Particular mention and credit must be given
to their willingness to help children with particular issues, be that medical, dietary or otherwise.
Great staff and great nursery.

I had my twin boys in this nursery and the boys were only little. The boys loved their time at Wee Gems and the staff were very reassuring when leaving them. On pick up from the boy's, I had a lovely bundle of pictures to show me their first day at nursery.

This is a superb nursery. Staff are all great which is great for my son who is very shy. There is always lots of activities to keep them all busy and have an excellent choice of food and snacks to keep them going all day. Can't fault the place, excellent nursery!

We have had two children develop and grow with the support of Wee Gems in Broxburn. The learning styles and friendliness of the team are absolutely fantastic. Our children have become role models and respectful, polite human beings which were assisted by Wee Gems. I can't thank them enough for the work
and effort they put into the nursery and developing the children.
They are always happy to chat and if you get stuck at short notice, they do their best to help you.
Not had any issues with them in the 7 years we've used them.

Overall, this nursery is excellent. The staff are fantastic and extremely caring. When I drop my daughter off she is excited to go and happy to be there. That means I don't worry about her all day.
The opening times really work well for me. The flexibility is essential for many parents.
One negative
point is that the older 3-5-year-old children would benefit from having their own separate room. The open plan nursery gets very noisy and the younger ones, in my view, suffer from levels of noise.

When our little girl started nursery a few months ago, she had significant special needs in terms of her care after some surgery. I was so anxious about her starting nursery at that time and could not have asked for better care.
The staff have all been fantastic and my little girl. I feel they all
know her so well. She has a great time there and educationally she amazes us all the time at how much she is learning at nursery too.

Our 2-year-old daughter has been attending Wee Gems since she was 10 months old. She only attends 1 day a week but she is made to feel very welcome and she seems to enjoy the company of all the other kids and the staff. I believe attending Wee Gems has assisted with her development. She loves singing
and dancing which she does during her time spent in the nursery.
Wee Gems is very flexible regarding attendance times and days, this has helped us on a few occasions to which we are very grateful.
I personally don't believe there is a better nursery out there.

My daughter has been attending this nursery for the last 4 years and we have been very impressed by the dedication of the staff in each of the rooms. Everyone is very welcoming and they obviously know all of the children. There is a good range of additional classes and trips offered too.

My son currently attends Wee Gems and my daughter previously attended since the age of one. My time at Wee Gems is coming to an end with my second nearing school age. It will seem strange not to be there as it's become so familiar and part of our routine over the past 5 years. We Will miss them. Staff
friendly and accommodating. Management supportive and approachable. Good balance of learning and play and glad they use the outdoor space every day. Meals filling and healthy.

Wee Gems is a great nursery with dedicated staff and great facilities. Both of my children have been going there since they were babies and they love it. The staff are always attentive and caring and I know that my kids are in good hands when they are at nursery. Kids are encouraged to learn and explore
various topics each week which is great for their development. They also learn a lot about healthy living, healthy food and physical activities. The nursery has optional classes available; French, football and music. My kids attend music classes and really enjoy them. Food is freshly prepared and always well balanced. Both of my kids eat better at nursery than at home and I am not a bad cook, lol.


I would thoroughly recommend this nursery to anyone living locally especially to first-time parents who are anxious and worried about leaving their child in someone else’s care. I am very grateful for all the support the staff have provided.

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.
