    The team at Wee Gems Armadale have been approachable, expert and welcoming and welcome my little one into the childcare centre with open arms. Updates is excellent and the development opportunities for my kid have been outstanding. I would highly suggest this childcare centre and can’t thank them enough for all they do. The childcare centre has been a huge success for my little girl.

    She has had the opportunity to engage in numerous different discovering experiences, create positive relationships with both team and other kids and have enjoyable at the same time; she looks forward to going to childcare centre! My daughter has attended this childcare centre for the last 2 years and I have recommended it to everyone I know who has been looking for a private childcare centre for their kid.

    I sense highly comfortable with him being there and I’m truly starting to see a change in him thanks to the childcare centre. My boy has consistently been highly clingy and all I can say is the childcare centre was highly supportive and highly informative when it comes to him!

    The girls are consistently so welcoming and welcoming and the food they are provided with is a truly high standard. They are outstanding with providing updates around what she is doing in the childcare centre and how she is getting on, which is truly appreciated. She is highly cheerful in this childcare centre. My daughter has only been at the childcare centre since August but she loves it.

    He has made lots of new friends and the team have truly helped him to increase his self‑assurance. My son has medical needs and team have been highly accommodating of these, particularly in supporting him to manage independently, both in a practical sense and in terms of how he chooses to share with other kids. Wee Gems has been a excellent journey for my son.

    Nothing is too much trouble for the team. We adore the Famly App the childcare centre uses. The outdoor area is a excellent big space. My little girl loves going to childcare centre. Lots of theme weeks and different activities. My little girl has been going to Wee Gems since July 2020.

    I consistently thought childminders were the best and safest way, however, I have been proven wrong! Wee Gems – Armadale transformed how I sense about nurseries.

    The team and management care about my kid and also the whole family. They have helped out during the pandemic and also when my kid was poorly a lot due to being a lockdown baby.
    My kid loves all the activities and consistently comes out laughing and smiling saying bye to everyone. Wee Gems is incredible and my daughter loves going there.

    My daughter is now at childcare centre school but begs to go back to Wee Gems. I adore that at any time I’ll come into the childcare centre and the girls can give me an update on everything happening and that I can watch my kids playtime happily for a minute before they see me. So I know they genuinely adore being there. I recommended Wee Gems to my friends having babies and they are also highly impressed. The ParentZone app is excellent as I can see the development they are making and the team are excellent at keeping it updated. Both my daughter and now my son have attended Wee Gems and I can honestly say I can leave each day to go to work knowing the team will take the highly best care of them.

    He absolutely loves going and settled in truly quickly. The updates and photos on the app show how much he enjoys it, along with the excitement when we pull up in the car park. All the team we have spoken to have been lovely and exceptionally supportive. He has come on leaps and bounds and is showing us new things every week. We adore the updates on the app. Thank you for everything you do, especially during this difficult time. Our little boy started childcare centre in January.

    My kid enjoys attending the childcare centre and talks about it all the time. The team are welcoming and highly supportive of the kids. They provide personable and outstanding attentive services. Wee Gems Armadale is highly inclusive and flexible. They understand and practice a reliable service. I would suggest it to friends and family. Wee Gems Armadale is a remarkable childcare centre.

    As she would be going to school in our home town I decided to move her nurseries when she was 2. The transfer to a different childcare centre was hard for her but the team were incredible and she is fully integrated now. She talks about the team all the time and how much enjoyable she has had. What we also adore is the open door policy so she can decide to go outside whenever she likes.
    Every week I get an update on the portal about what she has been doing and pictures which is excellent to see.
    The team are also fab at doing activities with the kids which my little one enjoys highly much.

    All in all, so glad we chose to move her to this childcare centre. It’s a excellent place. My little girl from 8 months was already in another childcare centre due to it being closer to work.

    The girls are excellent with him and the childcare centre is highly flexible if I ever need last minute childcare. Been using the childcare centre for over a year now for my son and he loves it.

    She loves going to childcare centre and the team have been exceptional with her. They keep us truly well updated throughout the day and do so many different activities with her. We are truly cheerful with Wee Gems and are glad we decided to send her there. Wee Gems have been excellent with our daughter.

    She has just turned 1 and looking back it was a excellent decision. She loves childcare centre and has developed highly well over the last few months.
    Team at Wee Gems consistently keep me up to date with her development and what they are working on with her. It’s excellent for her to mix with kids of different ages.
    There is a lovely garden with a separate section for the babies. I adore the fact they take her on walks etc too as I am keen to ensure that she is isn’t consistently indoors.
    The food is outstanding and they have a great variety.
    I use their app parent zone which is excellent for keeping up to date with what my daughter has been doing throughout the day. The activities they do are not only enjoyable but educational.
    We also recently had a parents night which was highly informative on my daughter’s development and next goals that the team are focusing on with her. My daughter started Wee Gems when she was 7 months old, I felt a little apprehensive about her starting childcare centre while she was still so young.

    Team are approachable, welcoming and have excellent relationships with my kids meaning I trust them 100% with my kids. The manager is again supportive, welcoming and approachable. She also spends time with the kids rather than consistently being in the office. My kids have developed a excellent deal since starting at Wee Gems and this is down to mainly the discovering and interactions from team. I know my pre-schooler will miss the educators a excellent deal when she leaves for primary 1, this year. Highly suggest this childcare centre and can’t fault them on anything. Remarkable childcare centre.

    The team and the management are just incredible! Through the pandemic you have gone above and beyond, I can’t thank you enough! 5-stars Wee Gems. My little boy has been at Wee Gems childcare centre since he was 9 months old and is now in preschool, Wee Gems Armadale is a remarkable childcare centre and like a second home to my little boy, he just loves it.

    That is down to everyone at Wee Gems who are remarkable at bringing the best out in him. Thank you so much. My little boy has been at the childcare centre since he was 10 months and he is now 27 months and he has come on leaps and bounds ever since.

    However, after a few weeks, it was evident that our daughter enjoyed her time in the childcare centre, she bonded with the team quickly and enjoyed exploring with her little friends. She’s been in for 8 months now and whilst the setting remains welcoming for her to playtime and explore, she has learned so much too. It’s when she shows us the actions to the childcare centre rhythms, when she starts singing and dancing as soon as the radio comes on, she eats her meals by herself and loves to draw and colour in and holds the pencils perfectly. It’s the little things that they do to help develop the kids that matter. It’s also worth noting that if you have a concern no matter how small it may be, they take the time to listen and action. Our daughter first started with this childcare centre at just under 1 year old and we were nervous to leave her as we felt she was so young to be in childcare centre all day.
