Parent Reviews

Paula

Whenever I am in this nursery, the staff to be welcoming and very friendly. The management team also make a conscious effort to speak to everyone that comes through the door which is really good too. My stepdaughter is always talking about her time there, and is learning a lot more than I ever did at nursery.

Craig, B

Both of my children have attended nursery since they were babies. Most of the staff have been there since my 10 year old was 6 months, which says a lot. The nursery caters to individual families, and are always looking for feedback on ways to improve. I highly recommend this nursery!

E, S

All of the staff are professional and caring. They have a genuine interest in the children, and their friendships with their peers. My child looks forward to going to preschool every morning. Activities are of a great variety. Management are great too. Very pleased parent!

Outdoors and Nature

We love to get outside at Happitots Bishopbriggs! We have separate outdoor play areas for each age group, which provide all our children with opportunities to get fresh air and have fun in a safe and secure environment.

All of our outdoor areas are well resources with quality outdoor toys and equipment, suited for all ages. From planting and growing to outdoor arts and crafts, investigating nature to mud kitchens, bug houses to obstacle courses, children find opportunities to get fresh air and have fun in a safe and secure area. As well as access to our fabulous outdoor play areas, children of all ages enjoy regular walks in the local area. Our youngest children are often seen out in our double buggies enjoying the fresh air, sights and sounds of the local community. We use Walkodile Child Safety Systems and high visibility vests to keep children safe when out on trips away from the nursery

We are committed to being an environmentally friendly nursery, making changes wherever we can in order to make the world a cleaner place! We are a registered ECO-Nursery and are committed to teach our children about their environment and the effect we have on it in our day to day lives.
