Parent Reviews

Graham, H.

My daughter recently transferred to this nursery due to the pandemic. This was her third move in a year. As such, we were very apprehensive about how she would get on, but she has settled in amazingly and it’s all due to the staff. You get a sense that it isn’t just a job for them, they take a real interest in each child. We have been very impressed with the nursery so far.

Outdoors and Nature

We love to get outside here at Happitots Broughty Ferry! Being active is, and should be, a big part of life and is a core element of our nursery ethos. Here at Happitots Broughty Ferry, we make the most of our wonderful outdoor space by getting our children outside every day.

We are fortunate to have an extensive outdoor area comprising of four large gardens, each having its own mud kitchen! We have a unique secluded woodland area allowing for outdoor play in a natural environment. Our children have opportunities to participate in outdoor play experiences when they wish and our gardens are easily accessible to all age groups. As well as time in our fabulous gardens we enjoy daily walks in the local community. We believe there is no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing – so we ask parents to provide their children with appropriate clothing for all types of weather, from wellington boots to sunglasses!

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.
