Very helpful and easy to book more time if needed ( both parents working and husband works at sea).

Excellent nursery. My son has attended for 2 years and has a great time when he's there, taking part in lots of activities and learning experiences. He loves being outdoors and is always out having fun in the garden or exploring the area.


The staff team across the nursery are lovely, always make drop

offs easy and can see how they all know each child. Would recommend.

My daughter has been attending Happitots Inverkip for over a year now. She recently transitioned into the 2's room and the staff were great at helping making this as smooth as possible. They ensured she had plenty of settling in days and used lots of group play activities to encourage her to socialise
with the other children. She always looks forward to going to nursery and always tells us how much she loves all the members of staff. I was wary of putting my daughter into nursery when she was so young (11 months) but now I can say it has been one of the best experiences for her. She has come on leaps and bounds in her development and the staff at Happitots have definitely contributed a lot to that. Thank you all.

Our son has been going to Happitots Inverkip for the past 6 months and we couldn't be happier with the care he has received since joining. Every single member of staff is amazing with him and treats him as if he was one of their own. Our son absolutely loves going into nursery and is developing really
well, which we thank the nursery's devotion and nurturing care for. Definitely recommend!

My daughter only attends one day a week but always comes back having had great fun. The girls are all lovely, and really seem to get to know the kids. They were great at first with settle sessions and helping both of us adjust to starting nursery (the drop off tears - IYKYK). She is always well fed
("I ate all" is what we always see on the app ) and they take the kids out and about locally & encourage messy play/painting/etc. I love getting notifications through on the app when she attends seeing what she's had to eat or been up to during the day.

My daughter has been attending Happitots since January 2025. I was so nervous about her starting especially only being 10 months old at the time. However the girls have been nothing short of amazing. Regular updates during the work day and my daughter is happy being dropped off every morning. The managers
are fabulous. Reply to all email enquiries quickly. Her key worker is great and my wee girl always looks forward to seeing her. All the staff are fab! Can't recommend Happitots enough.

My daughter joined the nursery as a 3 year old, it was her first time in child care, she was super resistant. I can't stress how amazing the staff here have been, she absolutely loves the nursery. The teachers are very friendly supportive and really creative!
The children seem very happy, they are
absolutely experts in there field when you speak to them.
I am actually pleased we went to Happitots Nursery Inverkip before joining the nursery attached to school, because it was a little more flexible in terms of timings, and also in offering support for late potty training. The meals and snacks are all provided and the food she will eat now have improved because she eats what all her friends eat.
I'm very grateful to them all.

My 11 month old daughter recently started Happitots Inverkip and I felt a bit anxious on having to leave her. The staff have worked really well with her and are always on hand to answer any questions or queries I may have. The staff have been great and within a few settle days I have noticed she feels
at ease leaving me as I am her so thank you for making us both feel welcome.

My son has attended Happitots Nursery Inverkip since April 2021 and has loved every minute of it. He’s come on so much since starting the nursery and I know I’ll have peace of mind knowing he is well looked after. The girls in the nursery are great, really good communication from the online journals
and verbal feedback of his day.

Happitots Nursery Inverkip has played a huge part in my little boy's confidence and development. Since he was only 7 weeks when the world went into lockdown he missed out on all baby classes, social events, his own christening and 1st birthday party as well as family and friends visiting so he was really
quite shy and timid. Since joining the nursery he has become an outgoing and fun-loving little boy, the girls have shown him kindness and assurance and been a huge part of his transformation. I couldn't be more happy with all the staff at happitots., because of restrictions, I hand over at the doors and I always have a full and thorough chat about his day, along with pictures and updates in the app. The activities look fun and imaginative and he enjoys every minute.

My 17-month-old little boy attends 3 days per week and he has come on leaps and bounds since starting! The girls helped a very upset baby settle quickly, allowing me to return to work with very little worry knowing he was being cared for well. The daily updates and pictures are also fantastic. Knowing
he is doing things that I probably wouldn’t have time to do at home helps with the guilt of returning to work.

My son has been attending Enchanted Forest, Inverkip since October 2017 and the change we have seen in him is amazing. All the staff always have a positive, happy attitude and always happy to help. They all do an excellent job and make the kids learning experiences fun and exciting. It’s great to see
them learning whilst enjoying themselves on the pictures on social media. Everytime I collect my little boy he tells me “he’s had really good fun” with the biggest smile on his face.
I can’t praise all the girls enough and always recommend the nursery to anyone looking.
