My child started last year when I returned to work. They have very quickly settled in and appear to enjoy their days there. The app used lets me know all of what they have been up to and although a bit repetitive they are stimulating activities.

All of my grandkids have attended Happitots Boddam. Staff are amazing and are very caring towards both kids and their families. They organise great activities that involve parents as well. Wear a touch of blue for Autism Day definitely helped my granddaughter about we are all different.

My son has attended Happitots for 2 years now and we couldn’t fault the nursery setting at all. My son can’t wait get there in the mornings and has asked on occasion to stay when I collect him, think that speaks for itself about the staff and the activities they get up to. The staff are always very welcoming on drop off and ready with any details from the day on pick up. The manager runs a very good team and the nursery is very clean and safe for the little ones. We love that they are out playing in the garden or on a walk most days unless the weather is really bad.

Our son had been going to this nursery for over 6 months. He enjoys going now that he has settled in. Staff are very accommodating for his food allergy needs and having the app which updates us with what he has been doing that day is great also. I think being at nursery has helped his development and his speech has improved a lot.

The Manager and the team provide a safe, active and friendly environment for children from our personal experience. Always friendly and informative when dropping off and picking up with no issues. Would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a nursery.

It's a very good nursery! Every time I need information, they are there to offer it. My child is taken good care of while there. It was interesting the adapting time, but now he seems happy at the drop-off and pick-up. The reason for not giving five stars is because of the food they get. I understand the culture is different in every country, but there are days when my child is not getting any nutrition from the food received. I am not saying it has to be organic just would be helpful to get his five a day and meat. Not keen on too many sweet snacks, especially for children under two years old. One more thing - my child is barefoot every time I pick him up. I understand they can't keep putting them on when they fall off, but my child was ill quite often and that may be one of the reasons too. The staff are really nice all the time. I would have liked the app to be better; I don't get the everyday update of my child there, sometimes the day after or two days after, but they don't tell me when I pick him up.

My son has recently started at nursery. He has made a great bond with one of the staff members and regularly speaks about her at home. Although he can be upset at drop-off time, the staff are very good at calming him down. He always says he likes nursery and is excited to go back.

Have used this nursery for both my children. Staff are excellent, especially the manager/assistant managers - nothing is too much effort for them. My son, who is at the nursery at the moment, loves going in and has a great time doing all the activities whilst he’s there.
19 December 2023
My son enjoys his time at nursery and often asks if he can go when it's a non-nursery day! I like that they spend time outdoors playing, going for walks and the harbour. Updating of the app can often be delayed and lacks photos, just a suggestion to do a bit more in that area. The activities are varied, and I think the crafts/cards they do for Christmas, Easter and Valentine's are great.

I have been using this nursery for a number of years now and I don’t have one bad thing to say about the place or staff. On drop off the staff are very friendly and welcoming to my children. On collection, I get full detailed reports as to what the kids played with and who they played with that day. I’m also told what they had for snacks and lunch and how much they’ve eaten. The kids come home happy every day and can’t wait to go back to see the teachers the next day. Management is great, they go above and beyond every time. Keep up the good work ladies!

I have been using this nursery setting for many years now and both of my daughters have loved their time there. My youngest comes home full of smiles and talks of all the things they have been up to that day. I especially like how they are outdoors for walks or in the large garden area whenever possible which my daughter loves. Whenever entering the nursery there are always different activities for the children to play with. From painting to different messy play areas which always goes down well with my little one. The staff are lovely, brilliant with the children and always on hand to give any information of what they have been up to throughout the day. Would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

My son has been attending Happitots Boddam since he was 15 months old and has had the experience of each room as he has progressed through the nursery. I can honestly say I would highly recommend, the support and care my son has received has been more than I could have asked. He experiences a range of different activities throughout the day which have helped so much with his development, for a long time my son struggled with his speech and the staff have been super on the ball with supporting him and he has come on leaps and bounds. I always receive a detailed report at the end of the day regarding his food intake, his toileting needs, the activities he has been up to and his behaviour throughout the day. Anytime I have ever had an issue it has been addressed and sorted from management as soon as. My son has always struggled whenever I have left him with anyone other than me, but that little boy runs into nursery everyday he's in with the biggest smile on his face.

Very well-run nursery. Both of my children love going to the nursery. Staff and management very helpful and welcoming. Staff always welcome you into the building and tell you what the children have been up to that day.

Care and activities for children below the standard a parent would expect. My child has been going there for a few years now and the provision of care has gradually gotten worse. Staff are not particularly nurturing, I see little or no affection being given towards the children. Activities - I have no idea what my child gets up to as the only feedback I receive is they had a great day, spent all day in the garden etc. I do get a detailed overview of every morsel of food they have been offered that day, which my child usually corrects once we have left. Management is responsive when have been concerns raised but sceptical that changes are implemented and that training of staff is continuous. I have been very close to pulling out my child but they have formed close friendships with the children there and they are very routine-based, though I might have no option if the quality of care does not improve soon.

Both my three year old and one year old attend Happitots Nursery Boddam and have done since they were nione months old. They attend regularly and now on weekends even ask if they can go to nursery. I think that says a huge amount about how much of a positive impact the staff have on our children. They absolutely love them all and enjoy every second of being with their nursery family.

I’m so happy that my son attending to Happitots Boddam nursery. He learned so many new things in those years. We are from Lithuania, and we speak in our own language at home but he started to speak English so well. He is so happy that they have a lot of activities at nursery such as playing in the garden, singing, dancing, painting and cooking. All staff care for my kid with love and he can feel that he is going to nursery and feeling like he is at home. Many thanks for all stuff, you do such a great job all.

Happitots is a brilliant nursery. Our daughter has been there since February 2023 and she has settled in so well. The staff are brilliant with the children and the food they get is very nutritious and healthy. Brilliant nursery.

My daughter attends Happitots Nursery Boddam and absolutely loves it. They do lots of fun activities with them and even walks to the park and out and about. I feel she has come on so much since starting nursery when she was two and half years with counting the alphabet and how she is with friendships and her little sister.
16 April 2023
The staff at the nursery are great. The manager is very approachable and clearly knowledgeable. The food is fantastic. I had viewed several nurseries in the area with my partner. We knew this would be where our son would be going within minutes of setting foot in here. It's secure, the environment is great and there is a lovely big back garden. My son has been going for 4 years and I would highly recommend it.
