Welcome to Hopscotch Day Nursery Gosport.
Opened in 2005 the Nursery is located in two beautiful grade II listed buildings and is ideally positioned to access either public transport and the ferry or the main routes out to Fareham.
Gosport has large spacious rooms with direct access to outdoor play areas.
The main nursery building accommodates children across two rooms - toddlers and preschool, and the second separate building houses the under two's age group.
The best way to get to know the nursery is to visit and look at what they can offer families where parents can meet and talk to a dedicated childcare team who are proud to meet the needs of each individual child cared for whilst providing the very highest standard of early years care and education.

Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

They have worked closely with him, showing incredible patience, encouragement and understanding, while also supporting us as parents every step of the way. We always feel listened to, included and reassured.
The team regularly keeps us updated on his progress, letting us know how he's doing and celebrating every milestone, no matter how small. Seeing the positive changes in his confidence and communication has meant so much to us, and we know that's down to the dedication and genuine care of the staff.
It's clear that every child is valued as an individual, and we're so grateful for everything they've done for our son and our family. We would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing, supportive and caring environment for their child.

Hopscotch have been absolutely amazing with my daughter, always keeping me updated on how she does during her days there what she eats what she plays with etc, but what I really do love is the monthly observations in which we are told how our children are doing and what their next steps are. Grace in particular I have noticed is very good with my daughter to the point even she says "grace is my favourite" I love seeing how grace reacts when she comes to the gate to greet us, it really does make a massive difference being able to see the bond between someone else and your child because you just know there well looked after and happy, not got a bad thing to say about this nursery and their staff.
I I have received an immense support and help with my son Joshua. Since he is my first and only child and he has had some developmentai challenges. They have helped with him to improve on his speech and language. Their advice, encouragement,support has been incredible.

The communication, the staff the setting is everythinf we could ask for! She always comes so happy, the information on the family app keeps us up to date with her day and the handover on pick up is always informative.
She loves going, she loves all the staff....a special mention to Meg our key member of staff who our Mia simply loves!
Wouldn't take my little one anywhere else.....thank you Team Gosport!!

My daughter has been attending the nursery since she was 8 months old and is due to leave in September for school. She has loved her time at Hopscotch and still gets excited to go in every morning. She speaks so fondly of all the practitioners in preschool and loves to tell me about her day every evening. I feel that her key worker was a perfect fit for my daughter and matches her energy perfectly, it's clear that they have a wonderful bond and my daughter adores her. Anything we're focussing on at home has been followed through within the nursery without needing to ask for support in these areas. The management team are active and visible throughout the setting and it's evident they have good understanding of the children as individuals. I couldn't ask for a better team of people to trust with my daughter everyday, knowing she is safe and happy when at the nursery.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful and heartfelt review. It truly means a great deal to our whole team. We are so proud to hear how much your daughter has enjoyed her time at Hopscotch and that she continues to come in each day happy and excited - that's...
Dear Georgie,Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful and heartfelt review. It truly means a great deal to our whole team. We are so proud to hear how much your daughter has enjoyed her time at Hopscotch and that she continues to come in each day happy and excited - that's exactly what we strive for.
It's wonderful to know that the bond between your daughter and her key worker has been such a positive and meaningful one. She reminds me often that I must wear my Pascal hairclip for her! Our team work hard to build strong, trusting relationships with every child, and your kind words are a real testament to that dedication. We're also delighted that the partnership between home and nursery has supported her development so well.
As she prepares to move on to school in September, we will miss her very much, but we're incredibly proud to have been part of her journey. Thank you for trusting us with her care over the years - it has been an absolute pleasure.
Im kept up to date with any concerns or issues. They also manage to nail nap times which has always been a struggle so that alone deserves a stars!

Our twins have been going to Hopscotch for the last year, and overall I am incredibly happy with the support and engagement from staff. They call or message me if there's any slight issue or concerns, and do take any concerns seriously. The twins absolutely love it there and are such happy, social and clever little cookies, all with the help of the Hopscotch staff who are understandably a huge part of their lives.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us review. We are so pleased to hear how much our care has impacted your little people. It is so lovely to hear how happy the twins are at the setting!

Great nursery, my daughter loves it here, they are supportive, caring staff and they are great for development and learning. Bonus is having the app to be updated on what they have done that day and the great food they provide.

I am extremely happy with this nursery. The staff are fab and it feels like they genuinely have a great relationship with my child, he always comes home happy and excited to go into nursery. He has especially thrived in the preschool room where he has an excellent key worker who tailors activities...
Overall I will be sad to see my child leave this year and would absolutely recommend this nursery.
Firstly, thank you for taking the time to write us such a lovely review. It is so lovely to hear about the aspects of the nursery you are happy with. We love to see the relationship your little one has with his key worker, and absolutely can see him thriving!
We will surely miss him when he goes off on his next adventure.

My daughter has been at hopscotch Gosport for almost 2 years now. It is a very nurturing and loving environment where my daughter has thrived, I love seeing her come home with new skills that have been taught by some of the wonderful staff, there isn't anywhere I would rather my daughter be. She has been from the Baby room and soon to be heading through to preschool. We have had some small issue, mostly to do with disorganisation amongst bags however we raised this concern to management who have worked hard to find the root cause of the problems and work with their staff to find a solution that leaves parents and their staff feeling happy. I am confident I can raise any issue and it will be listened too and resolved with care and professionalism. Since Georgia became manager she is constantly working to improve the environment in anyway possible, I see the nursery growing into something even better than it has been before.
We are so glad to hear that you feel your concerns are listened to, and actioned appropriately - we find any feedback invaluable, as you are aware. It is also lovely to hear you observe the developments we are working hard to make our parents and children's experiences better.

Her key worker works very hard with all her progress stages and keeps me updated with things to work on if anything.
The nursery app is a great way to quickly check what she has eaten in the day and regularly updated throughout the day.
Always very quick with accident forms and phone calls which I really can't fault.
And if for any reason a member of staff didn't managed to see what happened it's always checked on CCTV, which is a massive plus side for me.
My child's safety and wellbeing is very precious to me. So I'm very grateful for this to be in place.
My daughter enjoys going in everyday and always talks about her day which is a great sign.
Thank you so much for leaving us such a lovely review.
I am glad that you find the CCTV reassuring, the safety and wellbeing of the children is paramount to us, as it is to you also.
We are so glad that you are happy with the service you receive.

Vienna moved here after a traumatic experience with another nursery. The staff were absolutely amazing with helping her settle in, and went above and beyond to help my anxiety around trusting people with my child. I am extremely grateful for all of the amazing staff.

The team in the under 2s unit at Hopscotch Gosport are absolutely wonderful - warm, caring, and clearly passionate about what they do. You can tell they genuinely enjoy being with the children and with each other; it's often full of singing, laughter, and great sensory play. The monthly...
Where things feel less positive is around management. Compared to when our older child attended, the setting feels more corporate and less connected. Communication can be unclear, and policies seem inflexible. For instance, I was charged a full day fee when only trying to move a session back by half an hour, which felt unnecessarily rigid. The fee structure (Premium Plus vs. Basic) also remains confusing. That said, the app is brilliant, and the room staff are a real credit to the nursery.
If you are still seeking clarity around our new pricing structure, please feel free...

Thank you again for highlighting areas of strengths, and where we can improve; if you'd be open to a further conversation, we would be happy to explore your thoughts further on this.

My son was at Hopscotch for 2 and a half years. Throughout he has been well supported and had excellent key workers who diligently supported his development. In the past 2 months, Hopscotch has excelled at supporting my son with understanding his move to a foreign country and the gift of a bear with his own suitcase and passport to help with the transition, has gone above any expectations I had. My son will be able to send back photos of the bear to keep in touch with all of his Hopscotch friends, thank you!

Thank you so much for your review, it has been absolutely wonderful having your son with us here at Gosport Hopscotch. We were so sad to see him go, and hope you have a wonderful new beginning. He has loved the preschool room having such strong bonds with the staff, he always loved spending time in the garden, around the tree house, building with the big blocks from his imagination and dancing to our boogie mites. Thank you again for your review. We wish you all the best.

The nursery is well organised. They are good at keeping you updated with the activities via the app. Although sometimes this can be late, and at times with not much notice for upcoming events. Daily diaries are updated promptly. Activities are tailored to meet the children's development needs. Their personal development goals/next steps are continuously reviewed and updated with key worker, staff and family to ensure they are meeting their milestones. Time is spent outside in all weather, with appropriate clothing requested as the weather changes. Meals are well balanced, there is variety and plenty if the children require larger portions. Dietary needs, religious requirements and special occasion menu options are available.

Thank you so much for your review, it has been an absolute delight to have your lovely granddaughter with us, in the preschool room before going to school. She is an amazing little girl and is just going to blossom in her school in September. I know she loved playing in our tree house in the large garden and doing lovely role-plays both inside and outside. She is such an arty child, we are sorry she missed our graduation, however, I hope she liked her Hoppsie bunny as a keepsake from us to her. Thank you again for your review.

Hi, I’m Michele. I’ve worked in Early Years for over 28 years, and I’ve been part of the Hopscotch family for just over a year. Joining Hopscotch and settling into our Gosport nursery truly felt like coming home. The characterful building, passionate team, and wonderful families are what make it so special. I started my career in childcare when my own children were young, and I’ve never looked back. I believe every child is unique, and that building strong partnerships with families is at the heart of giving children the very best start in life. I’d love to show you around and introduce you to the team.
