Happitots Nursery Inverkip provides age-specific activities and play for children from the age of six weeks until they reach school age.

The nursery is able to do this because the nursery staff are trained to understand the changing needs of children and they grow and learn.

Enchanted forest nursery Inverkip is a lovely stimulating environment for my child. The staff and management go out there way to be helpful. My child has came on a long way in the last couple of years and that's partly due to the nursery and staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter attends EFN Inverkip 3 days a week and loves every minute of it! The staff are always so friendly & welcoming, my daughter has a great relationship with them all! The nursery itself is amazing, so clean, appealing to the eye, offering a wide range of facilities to suit all age ranges, it
is also great value for money as snack, nappies & wipes are included in the price! There are always a variety of activities out for the children to take part in, as well as providing opportunities for the children to choose their own learning! The management are so friendly & approachable, always happy to help, no problem too small and always make the effort to spend time getting to know the children and their parents as well which makes us feel special too!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has attended EFN Inverkip since shortly after it opened in 2012. He was only 3 at the time and we used the nursery full-time until he left for primary school. He is now in Primary 3 and still attends the Out of School Care every morning and 2 days after school. We have always found the staff
at EFN to be friendly, welcoming and, above all, caring towards our child. The nursery is well organised within the resources available and the management team are efficient and deal with issues promptly and thoroughly. There has always been a good variety of activities throughout the day and the addition of the small outdoor space was most welcome. Regardless, however, the staff do make a great deal of effort to use the natural outdoor space for walks, going to the park in summer, etc Our son made many of his school friends at EFN and has loved getting to know all the older children in the OSC which has been of great benefit to him socially within the community. I would recommend EFN Inverkip to anyone in our area.

We are from Spain and all the staff made our adaptation much easier, our daughter goes to the nursery happy and loves all the activities that they made daily. All the staff are very friendly and they worry about do activities fun and learning of each age. Just I have to say thank you for all and I hope
that always have been improving to be better and better.

Review from Laura F (Mother of Child) published on 21 January 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I sometime hear parents complain about prices of childcare for all nurseries. However, I have never had the same view. I see the money spent each month as an investment in my child's development. My son has learned so many great things at enchanted forest and the topic of Space and the Planets captivated
him to the point now where he can still name all the planets (starting from the closest to the sun, Mercury through to Neptune). I was very appreciative of their assistant when my son was toilet training, the girls in the nursery continued to encourage him each day the same as at home. Together, we now have a fully toilet trained boy. All the staff are excellent and the facility is well run by the Manager. The staff are friendly and always smiling and take the time to chat about your child's day. The primary reason we chose enchanted forest is based on other parents views and they weren't wrong, one of the best decisions I ever made was to place him with enchanted forest where little people matter.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.800)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.800) out of 10 for Happitots Nursery Inverkip is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.938 for Happitots Nursery Inverkip is calculated as follows: ( (169 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 178 Ratings = 4.938
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.862 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Happitots Nursery Inverkip is based on 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.875
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 76 number of registered child places is 15.2. 15 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.2 = 0.987
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
