Parent Reviews

Caragh, G

I continue to be bowled over by the staff. From the first time I walked through the door, the manager and the team were welcoming, curious to find out about us and excited to share what they could offer. They deliver an excellent, interactive, engaging, and playful experience to our now 18-month-old, not only that but they have been fantastically flexible supporting us with extra last-minute sessions when my husband was in hospital, and all the staff are clearly committed to delivering a great experience for the children in their care.

Outdoors and Nature

We love to get outside here at Happitots Nursery Greenock! Outdoor learning incorporates the entire range of learning experiences and allows children to learn and play in a relaxing, multi-sensory environment with the freedom to connect with the real world around them.

It provides a new learning environment away from the indoor norm and can motivate children to learn and develop in a different way. Regular access to fresh air is a priority for us and the children in our care. Being active is, and should be, a big part of life and is a core element of our nursery ethos.

We make the most of our wonderful outdoor space by getting our children outside every day. As well as time in our fabulous gardens we enjoy walks in the local communities, parks and forest areas. We believe there is no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing!

We are committed to being an environmentally friendly nursery, making changes wherever we can in order to make the world a cleaner place! We are a registered ECO-Nursery and are committed to teach our children about their environment and the effect we have on it in our day to day lives.

Food and Nutrition

We offer children a healthy, balanced lunch which is delivered by a carefully selected catering company. Breakfast and snacks are also provided.

In creating our meals, we take into account ‘Setting the Table’ Nutritional Guidance and Food Standards for Early Years Childcare Provision in Scotland. We tailor menus based on child and parent feedback whilst ensuring all individual allergy and dietary requirements are adhered to. At Happitots, we advocate meal times as social occasions where children can interact as well as become independent in their choices and feeding themselves.
