Bit pricey but no more so than other city-centre nurseries (you do pay for the location). Staff are fantastic with children and they make sure they get out and about in spite of the location.

My son went to the 3 Bears Nursery between 2003 (when he was 5 months old) and 2005 (when we…read moredecided to look after him ourselves). They take children from 6 weeks old to pre-school. The nursery hours are 8am - 6pm, with an extra charge being incurred for late pickups. Charges are in line with other nurseries and childminders in the area, although seem to increase at a higher rate than is fair. Additional fundraising events took place over the year, which I objected to since fees were already high enough. The nursery itself is a converted house on Wellshot Drive in Cambuslang, just yards from the main doctors surgery. The staff are friendly and seem to get on well with the children. The premises are reasonably clean and secure from people just wandering in. There are a wide variety of activities for the children and regular outings. Sounds ideal! Our problems started with outings in the local area that I was not informed of. All of the children would go for a day out to the soft play or local park and the parents wouldn't know where they were, which can be a problem if you have a family emergency and need to pick up your child before time. The second problem I had with this nursery is that they sometimes didn't change dirty nappies in a timely manner, leaving my little one with a very sore bottom. Also, on one occasion my son was left with a 16 year old work experience girl with no supervision. Finally, and really the straw that broke my back, was that despite being yards from the doctors surgery and assurances that if there was an emergency they would take the child directly to the surgery, they failed to do so and failed to contact me when my son awoke from a nap with blue fingers and lips, stating that they didn't feel this was anything to worry about. Ironically, on the day he was due to leave the nursery I was called to come and get him because he had a loose stool! This nursery is now under new management and may be better managed nowI hope it isbut for the reasons stated I couldn't recommend it. I've given it two stars because I believe the staff are committed and the care is reasonable when there are no complications. I think management were to blame and there is now new management.

My son first attended the 0-3yrs 3 bears Nursery in Hawthorn walk and then moved onto the Wellshot…read moreDrive Nursery. This review concerns the Hawthorn Walk Nursery for babies - 3 yrs old. I found the Hawthorn Walk branch to be ideal, all of the staff are well mannered and well spoken, and my son still asks for one of his carers from there after leaving 3 months ago. The children had busy days, playing inside and out, had regular "messy time" and went for walks around the area. They also taught the children about brushing their teeth, and my son made some firm friends. The toys here are lovely wooden and high quality, and the babies and tweenies are in one big room together although they are kept separated by a knee high fence. Each keyworker was allocated 3 toddlers, and there were always the right amount of staff per children no matter what time of day I dropped in to pick my wee one up. The only critisism I might have is that the development booklet at the end of my sons time here seemed to have been completed to tick a box, and photos had been taken to illustrate developmental milestones etc, even although they didn't actually relate to the photos. Also my son had lots of good photos taken during his time there, and I didn't get a copy of any despite asking. I've not been quite so impressed with the Wellshot Drive Nursery, but since my son hasn't been there very long I don't think it fair to comment yet, and maybe it's not bad just different.

The party was very well ran and really well organised the whole operation was very slick and they do a decent cup of coffee too and they didn't look at me like I was a weirdo when I asked for decaff - huzzah! I didn't eat anything but the food I saw looked really nice. They also did crafts with the children to break up the party a bit, it would have been nice if a member of staff had lead this session rather than just dumping teh stuff and leaving teh parents and kids to it. The place was really clean and the loo's were spotless, very important to note this when toddlers are using the loo too! Also it was busy but there wasn't the usual wall of noise that just beats you down and makes you weary and gives you a tension headache, the noise was well absorbed because its a long building with a low roof.
