Day Nurseries Owned by Thrive Childcare and Education in Inverclyde

My daughter has went to happitots Inverkip for over a year and a half now, starting at 10 months old. All the staff have been amazing taking the best care of her. She knows all the staff by name and is always in happy spirits when she knows it's time to go to nursery. Her learning has came on leaps and bounds and the fact they have so much access to outdoor activities such as the beach, forest etc.. helps with this as well as much improvement in her communication.

lots of love and care provided

I would definitely recommend Happitots to anyone with young children.

My daughter has been attending happitots for 2.5 years and my son for 9 months and I have had nothing but positive experiences. Every member of staff I've spoken to is lovely, my children love them and go into nursery happy and excited. I love getting updates on them throughout the day, especially pictures.

My son started in August 2025 and settled in very quickly. He loves the staff and loves going to nursery. I have noticed he is becoming more confident and finding new interests. He loves the activities and going outside to play with his friends.

I would recommend the nursery for the staff. They are so welcoming, helpful and nurturing.

Often take the class out and about for fresh air and exercise which has a huge benefit.

The food and meals they get are fantastic and I never have any concerns leaving my childnin their capable and caring hands.

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.

I'm very grateful to them all.

Fantastic nursery, staff are all very attentive and we've seen our daughter really come on since joining the nursery. There is a fantastic variety of activities and play is well encouraged. Would highly recommend this nursery.

My 2 Grandchildren have attended the nursery from 9 and 11 months, one of which who has now moved on to school and the other who is now transitioning into the preschool room. The nursery have been supportive and nurturing giving them the best start in their early years. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a nursery setting.

My granddaughter is always very happy to attend the nursery. The communication from the nursery is excellent - how the day went, nap times, food, activities, etc. The hours are very convenient and the building is modern, warm and clean.

My daughter has been attending this nursery for the last two years. She really enjoys attending, haphazard with the staff members, does a lot of creative and outside activities. Good value for money and I feel she’s well looked after. 5 stars.

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 daughter always enjoys her time at nursery, she takes part in a wide range of activities. Her knowledge and education are always improving, they cater to her dietary requirements well, and she everything. The staff are excellent, warm, approachable and knowledgable, it shows in the variety of activities and care, my daughter, takes part in.

I couldn't be happier with the standard of care and fantastic environment Happitots Nursery Inverkip provide. Really pleased and impressed. From the initial introduction and settling period, the care and communication have been excellent.
