If you took an imaginary line between the top centre of the radiator and the engine, it's just to the right of that (the left as you look at it), under the front plastic piece. There's a rectangular hole in that top piece that you can look through, with a torch, to see the level.
The coolant tank for the hybrid inverter is a bit further back, approximately above the right front wheel.

Thanks guys, very easy, it was the side plastic panel I removed and it was all fine.

Noticed the plastic trim bolts missing so ordered these too.

I think I prefer a pack of 50? For around £8 in total from eBay, hope they are the correct ones?

OEM and most others are reusable, resettable. Also some of the holes use a different size.
