We identify the Givental formula for the ancestor formal Gromov–Witten potential with a version of the topological recursion procedure for a collection of isolated local germs of the spectral curve. As an application we prove a conjecture of Norbury and Scott on the reconstruction of the stationary sector of the Gromov–Witten potential of $${\mathbb{C}{\rm P}^1}$$CP1 via a particular spectral curve.
