   Really lovely small setting near the park. The staff are all very nice and friendly, my daughter absolutely loves going and we really enjoy receiving the diary and photo/video updates. I like that it’s so close to the park as they get to go quite frequently and I know my daughter really loves playing outside so it’s a huge plus for us. She’s been on a few little outings with the nursery too which is really nice for her (lots of book bug sessions at the library, art gallery, safari trip soon) and it’s nice to see that she’s been trying lots of new foods and activities. Would recommend!

   Both of our kids go to here, Siobhan is the best teacher we've ever met. She and her team care about our children, each time we told Siobhan about our concerns she paid attention and solved the issues.We feel kids are safe in this nursery. The nursery is very organized, clean, tidy, staffs are very friendly too.We get report about the kids nursery's daily activities in verbal or writing. Most important, the kids love to go to nursery everyday, they enjoyed playing with friends and teachers in the nursery. Breakfast, hot lunch and snacks all inclusive in price. The Kevingrove Park is only 2 minutes walk from nursery, where kids could go to play, very nice environment around.

   This is one of the worst places to use for your childcare. We used it for our little daughter. As we work at Glasgow university, we take our lunch break near the nursery. We observed that the nursery staff take the children for walks every afternoon (4 children in every pram) no matter how bad the weather was and leave them crying and screaming in the prams while they chat and laugh carelessly. The negligence is absolutely not acceptable and heartless. We tried to explain the situation to the manager more than once but she seems to live in total denial and unwilling to address any of our worries. We removed our child from the nursery and moved her to the university nursery. Please, if you care about your child and want to leave them in safe hands, avoid this nursery at all costs.

   I put my son when he was 7 months and it was a very bad experience to us. I totally agree with Nora's comment, it happened exactly the same with my son one of the days I Went there to pick him up and I had to wait because they toke the babys to a park near the nursery, when they returned what was my surprise? My baby boy had a big lump on his forehead. I asked the staff they answered that didn't know why. Next that the manager said to me "I investigated with all. Staff and nobody knows what happened with boy's forehead". It was the worsest experience of my life as a mother, the best think was take off my son from this unprofessional nursery. He was in Happitots nursery and it was the best experience for him, happy child every day.

   One of the worst nurseries in Glasgow. I put my 8 month daughter there due to this nursery being the only one with spaces. in the first month my daughter was badly injured and came back home with bruised face. The staff did not hand me any incident report and they claimed to never witness anything happening to my little girl. After complaining to the manager and sending her pictures of the injuries she was able to identify the staff responsible. my 8 month old daughter was left to eat in unsecured chair without supervision and she did fall and hit her face against the table edge. I stopped sending my daughter there immediately. the manager promised to send CCTV images of the incident but she never did and also there was no consciousness to the staff involved whatsoever.

   What a lovely nursery. My daughter is always beaming with happiness when I pick her up and the activities she gets involved in are always varied and interesting for her. We had to go through a few nurseries until we found this one and am very happy with our decision!
