Thrive Childcare

Providing inspiring childcare for children from birth to 11 years

We are Thrive Childcare and Education. We believe in
putting children first every time.

We are excited and pleased to introduce you to the wonderful, passionate and committed team who are working at Thrive Childcare and Education. Please take a moment to read our story. We invite you and your family on an exciting journey of learning and development with Thrive.

Learn through play!

Playing is a natural and enjoyable way for children to keep active, stay well and be happy.

Freely chosen play helps children and young people’s healthy development. To have good physical and mental health and to learn life skills, they need various unstructured play opportunities from birth until they’re teenagers.

Play improves the cognitive, physical, social, and emotional well-being of children and young people. Through play, children learn about the world and themselves. They also learn skills they need for study, work and relationships.

Parent Feedback

My son has attended Happitots every day for four years. He has loved learning to swim, and the dance classes in particular. My daughter has now been attending for two years and is enjoying it just as much. She is also learning to swim and speak Spanish. The staff go above and beyond, and I’m always happy to leave my children in their care.

My experience with Happitots Baillieston has been incredible – from the manager, to the staff I had the pleasure of coming across. Happitots Baillieston has always had a friendly and polite atmosphere that’s welcoming to families. It has been a joy to see my daughter so happy.

Our son has attended Baillieston on a full-time basis for 9 months, and is now starting school. The care and education he has received has been exceptional – the staff are fabulous. Our son loved the Spanish and swimming lessons once a week, all included in the fees. Overall, this nursery is outstanding for their reliability, communication, and professionalism.
