Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I can't recommend this nursery enough.


My daughter started when she was 3 and she still attends during holiday term and she is almost 8 now. She absolutely loves the staff, she always comments on how lovely they are and how much fun she has.


There was no question about sending my son here too.

He started at 6 months old and is almost 1 now and is very close to the staff. They are so kind. It is a very "home from home" feeling and I know my children are well loved and cared for.


I am extremely grateful to know that my children are happy, thriving and cared for as if they are the staffs children.


Staff are very warm and welcoming. Always keep me up to date with what my children are up to. Lots of crafts for them to do, adventures to the park or cafe. They always put the children first.


A great range of different foods too and very accommodating.


10/10 nursery.

I have two children in Enfys Hapus and have done since they were both 6 months old. The nursery staff are the most lovely, caring people. Since the new ownership the nursery has gone from strength to strength. Both of my children love nursery and talk about the staff members all the time, inviting them
to our house most days. The activities they do are fun and much better than the kids get from me at home. Basically, they are well fed, cared for and stimulated. Not sure you could ask for much more. They say it takes a village, I feel really lucky to say I count Enfys Hapus in my village.

Enfys Hapus is a family. They are kind and caring and I trust them completely. Management is very on the ball and also makes time to get to know each child. Everyone seems genuinely happy there. There's a low turnover of staff, which speaks volumes. The setting is spacious and each room is well thought
out. The food is popular - full tummies all around. The location is great and they can enjoy the beautiful parks and occasional trips around town.
As for the kids - well my daughter chatters about her friends at nursery constantly! They seem to have a lot of fun together with all the activities you'd expect like crafts, water play, music, storytime and more. Everyone is listened to and all their little likes and dislikes are taken into account.
Both my kids have picked up important life skills there. Just today my little toddler handed me her empty dinner plate and said "Thank you - finished!" My eldest was school-ready by the time she 'graduated'.

Great nursery, very accommodating, nothing is too much trouble, and the staff are great. Communication is easy, and we get a quick response, more than I can say for two other nurseries within the area that I have had a child attend.

My daughter started at Enfys Hapus a couple of months ago and has been loving it. The wrap-around care service is brilliant for working parents, and my daughter loves being picked up with her friends and taken to the nursery. The staff have been so friendly and welcoming, and we're delighted our daughter
is so happy at Enfys Hapus.

Fabulous place for children. My niece comes home happy everyday and chats so sweetly about the staff which is definitely nice to hear. The nursery definitely has the best interest of our kids at heart. Also the staff there that I have spoken to have told me great things about the owners and look after
their staff well so it’s a win win all round for me. Thank you, we appreciate you.

The manager and the rest of the team at Enfys Hapus are brilliant, we highly recommend it! From the point we were moving from London to Cardiff during lockdown last year they’ve been nothing but supportive, loving and caring, arranging a remote viewing and really helping our daughter settle in during
an unsettling time. The activities are varied and she loves talking about her day when she gets home, her language has really improved there with even a bit of Welsh now. The food seems healthy and varied and it must be tasty given how much she seems to eat! There’s a nice garden for outside play and the nursery is only a short walk from a playground for a change of scenery.

What a lovely daycare and nursery. The staff are so welcoming, friendly and helpful. My daughter uses the wrap around facility and is always kept entertained with games and crafts, right until the last minute! The staff are very accommodating and are willing to help or adjust care arrangements to suit
your needs. My second daughter will be joining there after Easter too.

Review from Stephen (Grandfather of Child) published on 19 February 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My grandson has been at this nursery for a few weeks now. He has come on in leaps and bounds. When I drop him off in the mornings his face has a beaming smile and he runs to the door excited. He barely gives myself or his grandmother a second glance. This is a stark contrast to what it was like when
dropping him off at his previous nursery whereby he would cling to me and break his heart crying every time I dropped him off. I can now leave him at Enfys Hapus Nursery feeling confident my grandson is happy and he is going to have a fun day with his new friends. Staff are lovely and they have always made me feel like nothing is too much for them. When my grandson is happy, I am happy. I highly recommend this nursery and our new grandchild will definitely be our next grandchild to attend in a few month's time!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I would just like to say that Enfys Hapus Nursery is a wonderful place. My great-granddaughter has been attending for a few months and the difference in her is wonderful. She has really come out of her shell and chats about her day. I was very concerned and worried about her going to nursery because
of the pandemic but I have to say, the procedures in place at the nursery are excellent and the staff put my mind at ease when I collect my great-granddaughter on the days her mother needs me to.
I highly recommend this nursery for lots of reasons - too many to mention on here but mainly because the staff go out of their way and will always answer any questions, support children. There is a genuine warmth and my great-granddaughter loves the place!

Prior to attending Enfus Hapus my grandson could be quite shy around adults and children. But within a few days, I noticed a marked improvement when picking him up. The staff are friendly, caring and empathetic to all the children and you can see they all clearly enjoy their work. They are approachable
and always put the parents at ease The facilities are 5* and the level of attention to detail is outstanding. Thank you for making my grandson's first steps in the outside world a positive enjoyable experience.

Being a mature dad, the staff were very professional and extremely friendly in making me feel confident with them and the vibe of the other parents using the nursery. The whole nursery was well presented and spotless, with play and learning materials for the children to get on with. I have sung the

The best nursery for my niece, she is always sad when it's time to leave and I also like how it's a bilingual setting. I like how the children get to go to Pontcanna fields regularly to play in the park and see the horses.

My niece has been at this nursery since it first opened and has loved every moment of growing and learning. Her younger sister has been here since she was 9 months old, since being at this nursery she has learned to walk and talk. I love that the food is fresh and the children get outdoor play every
day come rain or shine. They get to go for walks out in the community. The girls love the new nursery puppy and talk about the puppy all the time. Highly recommended.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.718)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.718) out of 10 for Enfys Hapus Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 4 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 4.979 for Enfys Hapus Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (47 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.979
  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 3.739 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Enfys Hapus Nursery is based on 4 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 = 3.375
    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 55 number of registered child places is 11. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 11 = 0.364
  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.
