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
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 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 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.

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

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.

Very happy with the service received with the girls, especially as my child is due to move to the older room and they have started settling in process to make sure of a smooth transition. Also very happy with weekly communication and updates. Nursery have been very good at informing me of the next steps

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.

My daughter has always enjoyed her time at nursery and is comfortable with the staff and surroundings. All the staff are always very welcoming, positive and seem to know all the children and they treat them as little individuals with their own unique personalities.

My son used to go to after school care here two years ago and absolutely loved it, which ultimately led to me enrolling my daughter in for daycare at the age of 9 months.
Since then she has developed so much thanks to the staff at Enchanted Forest Nursery. Her speech, her co-ordination and her personality
Since then she has developed so much thanks to the staff at Enchanted Forest Nursery. Her speech, her co-ordination and her personality
has been enhanced in so many ways.
The staff welcomed my daughter with a smile and open arms every morning, she attends 3 days per week and she absolutely loves it. She gets excited about going to nursery which speak volumes in my eyes. When we pick her up she always says she had a great day and the staff breakdown her whole day to us. From going to the park to baking cakes, exercise, painting, water-fun, shaving foam madness and going over to the marina exploring. Where the staff get their energy from I do not know but I cannot praise them highly enough.
Its hard to believe that the daughter I drop off in the morning is the same daughter I get feedback about... :-)

My daughter has attended the nursery since she was 7 months old and now at the age of 2, she has just recently moved from the baby room to the toddler room. It took a while for me to get used to her attending the nursery at such a young age but now that she has moved to a different room it's a huge
change for myself as a parent. Realising that she is no longer a baby. The staff have been very supportive towards me and my daughter. The staff knew she was so ready to move "up".
I already recommend the nursery to anyone I know who is looking for their child to attend a nursery. I cannot fault the staff at all and trust them so much with my daughter. She has built up great relationships with all the staff and always greets them with a big smile and a cuddle.
5 stars from me!

Absolutely delighted with the nursery in every way. From learning and development to reassurance and confidence building. The nursery ticks all the boxes. Both of my children have attended the nursery and all of the girls work brilliantly as a team. My youngest son still attends. Special thanks to the
staff for their outstanding efforts. I feel like the girls know my son well. They know what makes him happy, sad, his likes, dislikes and they know what 'works for him'. They know the best approach to enhance his learning, his confidence and I can happily drop off my child in the morning without worry.
Communication with management is clear and frequent making me feel involved in my child's learning and development.
