    My little boy had a choking incident and the team knew exactly what to do and probably saved his life. They are all I was hoping for in a day‑care, they put a high value on outside time which I truly appreciate.

    I have phoned the manager a couple of times and each time she explains in detail the questions I have asked. My little boy adores being outdoors and in the room that he is in they are outside a lot, which is perfect. My little girl who is 15- months has come on so much ever since she started and it’ s remarkable to see what they both learn there. I adore the fact they give me a run- down of their day and I wouldn’ t want them to go anywhere else. They both absolutely adore it there and the team are brilliant with them. My little boy and little girl attend Happitots Nursery Boddam and they go in with a smile every day.

    Love the app with updates on what the sessions have been, nappies, food and photos. Varied sessions and they do the messy stuff like painting, glue etc so I don’ t have to do it then clean up at home! No complaints. My kid adores attending this day‑care.

    I have recommended to all my friends that have kids. The management team are exceptional, they are there to help with any queries you have and if they able’ t answer anything they do their utmost to find the answer for you. The team there are extremely pleasant and the kids adore them. My kids adore going to day‑care and come home full of excitement about what they have done that day!

    I would suggest Happitots to other guardians seeking reliable childcare. The app keeps guardians informed of what our kids have done each day including food and toileting information. My eldest still has fond memories of his time at day‑care and my little girl goes into each of the members of team delighted. The team are all welcoming and approachable. Both my kids have attended Happitots( formerly Buoys and Gulls) and I have not had any issues with their care.

    We wouldn’ t hesitate to suggest this day‑care. The team are supportive, accommodating and respond to feedback efficiently. They are attentive and nurturing and take enjoyment out of seeing our kids develop and grow alongside us. This day‑care isn’ t shiny and new from the outside but the team inside make it the outstanding place it is.

    I would strongly suggest to all. There are sessions each day and kids get involved in arts and crafts, especially at special times of the year. My kids adore day‑care and enjoy each day, there’ s terrific indoor spaces and superb outdoor area too. Great team, consistently delighted and welcoming.

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

    Would strongly suggest to others. Nice meals, plenty of outdoor time and development sessions. Staff are terrific with the kids and take the time to show an interest in their lives at home. Both starting in the baby room through to 3- 5’ s. Both of my sons have loved their time at Buoys& Gulls.

    Many thanks for all stuff, you do such a terrific job all. All team care for my kid with adore and he able sense that he is going to day‑care and feeling like he is at home. He is so delighted that they have a lot of sessions at day‑care such as playing in the garden, singing, dancing, painting and cooking. We are from Lithuania, and we speak in our own language at home but he started to speak English so well. He learned so many new things in those years. I’ m so delighted that my little boy attending to Happitots Boddam day‑care.

    My little boy has been going for 4 years and I would strongly suggest it. It’ s secure, the space is terrific and there is a lovely big back garden. We knew this would be where our little boy would be going within minutes of environment foot in here. I had viewed several nurseries in the area with my partner. The food is superb. The manager is extremely approachable and clearly knowledgeable. The team at the day‑care are terrific.

    Each day varies from being outside to doing crafts. The app shows more detail and pictures, which are terrific to see. My little girl now attends and I consistently get a description of what she’ s done that day on pick up. I have used the day‑care for many years, my little boy is now at school and still speaks about his time at day‑care. Staff are welcoming, welcoming, encouraging and supportive towards the kids.

    I sense she has come on so much ever since starting day‑care when she was two and half years with counting the alphabet and how she is with friendships and her little sister. They do lots of enjoyable sessions with them and even walks to the park and out and about. My little girl attends Happitots Nursery Boddam and absolutely adores it.

    Brilliant day‑care. The team are brilliant with the kids and the food they get is extremely nutritious and healthy. Our little girl has been there ever since February 2023 and she has settled in so well. Happitots is a brilliant day‑care.

    He is consistently delighted to go in in the morning and they consistently keep us up to date with what he’ s been up to! He has some additional needs and they are consistently trying to make sure they are giving him the best opportunity to develop. Amazing day‑care with team who go above and beyond to help my kid.

    They are consistently up to something enjoyable. The kids go outside daily and are consistently doing something crafty. They consistently give information on what has happened that day. The team are so welcoming and useful. Both of my girls have absolutely loved going to day‑care even my youngest who has been a lockdown baby and was not used to other kids but she settled in so well. I have been using this day‑care for the past 6 years and I cannot fault them at all.
