My son has just joined wee gems Broxburn and I am extremely happy as they have welcomed him and help with the transition of him moving from one nursery to theirs. They are very welcoming and always give updates on the progress of my child. My son is a very picky eater and they have tried to get him
to try new things but have made alterations to help him. Glad I chose this nursery and will defiantly be recommending to others.

Really happy with the Nursery, the staff are friendly and approachable.


Office staff really helpful and friendly, they have helped us out on many occasions over the last few years with last minute care.


The food is excellent and gives great variety throughout the days and weeks. Changing menus

winter and summer.


They have great facilities which are completely up to date, Ipad etc while still covering he basics of hand painting, glitter and glue.


My daughter has loved her time here, which makes our lives as parents much easier.

We've been very impressed by the team at Wee Gems Broxburn and would fully recommend this provider to friends and family. Our little boy attends the pre-school class 4 days a week and loves it. There's loads to play with and he's learning lots by doing! He comes home buzzing about what he got up to
each day. The staff know the kids very well and respond to their individual interests and needs. Very happy with it!

My son has been at wee gems for almost a year now and has recently moved up to JG1, cannot praise the nursery enough. After a bit of apprehension moving up rooms my son now loves nursery! It's brought him on so much, the staff are all brilliant and always on hand to help with any issues my son has.

My daughter has now been attending Wee Gems in Broxburn for just over a year and I have been very impressed over the months by both the professionalism and friendliness of the staff. They are supportive of the children and the parents, are always looking to improve and genuinely care about the well-being
of all concerned. The facilities are tremendous, offering a wide range of fun and educational opportunities, technology, trips out and foreign language and music add-ons. The parent portal to track children's development is useful and the FB page is full of handy tips, recipes etc. Regular email updates help me keep track of what's coming up.


I am very glad my daughter is here, and would definitely recommend Wee Gems to friends.

This is an excellent nursery providing great care and learning for children. My daughter has been going to this nursery from when she was a year old. She has been through the baby room all the way to the pre school and it has been an excellent journey.

Wee Gems is an excellent nursery with exceptional facilities and the most caring professional staff. Both of my children have attended the nursery. I was initially apprehensive about leaving my child in the care of anyone but with my immediate family, however once my daughter and I viewed the nursery
and met the staff I knew without any doubt she would be happy and safe at Wee Gems. She enjoyed the learning and the social interaction they provide. The staff are understanding and reassuring. when I had my son, there was no question of which nursery he would go to it had to be Wee Gems.

My wee boy loves Wee Gems. He moved up to Pre-School from JG2 in August and although a difficult transition to start with he has absolutely flourished. He is slightly behind with speech and language but with the support of his key worker, nursery teacher and all the staff in the room he's coming on
so well! The extra bit of support he receives has helped him so much! We did consider moving his nursery when I changed location for uni but after viewing a few we couldn't find another which could offer what WGs does! If we ever have any concerns it is dealt with very quickly and efficiently. All the staff and management are very easily approachable and genuinely lovely people who really care about all the children in their care.

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.
