Review from Hulya O (Mother of Child) published on 1 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I cannot speak highly enough about the wonderful experience my child has had at this nursery. The staff are not only incredibly friendly but also highly skilled and attentive, creating a nurturing environment where children thrive. The indoor space is well-designed, offering ample room for exploration and learning, while the outdoor area is a true delight, with playful features that encourage physical activity and imaginative play. I am consistently impressed by the dedication of the staff and the quality of care provided here. It's truly a gem of a nursery!

Reply from Michelle Macey, Nursery Manager at Hopscotch Day Nursery Gosport
Thank you so very much for your wonderful review, we really appreciate it. It is always such a delight to have your son with us, he adores the room leader, they have such a lovely connection. He enjoys the sensory room so much, especially our bubble tube, along with our singing and story times.

If there is anything we can do to help please let us know.

Review from Steph B (Mother of Child) published on 15 September 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
It took my little boy a while to settle here, but the staff have all been fantastic with him, and his confidence has grown tremendously since he started.
Communication was sometimes a bit lacking when he started last year, but the app is now always updated with details of nappy changes, what he's eaten and when he's slept by the time we pick him up at the end of the day. We also get regular photo and video updates of him enjoying himself throughout the day.
The team organised a wide variety of activities for the kids to enjoy, including lots of messy play, which he would never get the opportunity to try at home. It's also been great to see him enjoying the lovely new outdoor space lots this summer.
We've not experienced any issues, but if we had, I'm confident they would have been dealt with appropriately by the management team.

The staff are all really warm and friendly, and all seem to really, really love working with kids, which has been the most important thing for us.

Overall Experience

My child loves Hopscotch! All the staff are so friendly, and he always comes in happy to play with his friends! I get regular updates on the app and love seeing what he is up to! I love that he is always outside exploring the garden and has a great bond with his key workers! I have been happy throughout with the care from the baby room and now the toddler room! He always gets healthy food as his meals and a great selection! Very happy I’ve put him into Hopscotch!

Reply from Michelle Macey, Nursery Manager at Hopscotch Day Nursery Gosport
We are so delighted you have left us such a lovely review. Thank you for your wonderful comments. It is lovely to have your son with us; he is such an awesome toddler and is really blooming in the toddler room. He has made such lovely friendships and always has a smile on his face.

Thank you again, and if you need our help, please feel free to ask.

Review from Pippa P (Mother of Child) published on 29 August 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our son now 22 months has been at Hopscotch since he was 8 months old. We have been really happy with all the care provided by the team in the under twos room. As a young starter, our son was given lots of attention when he was still a baby including making time for him to have cuddle naps when he refused to nap in the sleep room! Growing up, the team obviously had a real impact on his development of communication and confidence, in particular his love of music, doing the moves for nursery rhymes, Makaton for please and thank you, and words for his favourite animals and vehicles. He also has strong bonds with the team who are able to coax him inside to play when he just wants one more cuddle at drop-off.

In terms of minor improvements, there could be better communication between management and staff about admin things (although I think this is better after recent changes), and from staff to us about developmental achievements and targets.

Review from Sam G (Mother of Child) published on 1 August 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My little boy started in May and from his settle sessions I didn’t think we’d get to this point - going in to Babies without his dummy, giving smiles to all the ladies, exploring the room happily and so happy on pick ups! He still has his wobbles but he is settled and happy - that’s a massive thank you to the ladies for building such lovely bonds, having the patience and really getting to know the child’s likes and dislikes in such a short space of time!
Meanwhile, my eldest moved up to preschool in June - he’s settling well but needing that little bit of extra support to settle to the new environment and the team are being really understanding and patient! I’m receiving thorough handovers and helpful tips to try at home too! Thank you!
(Toddlers also have been an amazing team and group for my eldest before his move up! He built some special bonds with the lovely team and was always happy on pick ups - without fail!)

I’m so glad I chose Hopscotch Day Nursery for both my boys.

Reply from Sally Rutledge, Marketing at Hopscotch Day Nursery Gosport

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such an amazing review. The Gosport team love looking after both of your boys. Your little man in the baby room has become such a happy chappy and loves exploring. Since transferring from toddlers to preschool your son can now be found either in the tree house planning an adventure with his friends or creating a potion in the mud kitchen.

My son has been here since August last year. He has come so far since starting with Hopscotch Day Nursery Gosport and both the baby room and toddler room are fantastic. Couldn’t recommend these guys highly enough. My son is happy and confident, he really enjoys his time at nursery. Happy baby = happy mum.

Thank you for your lovely words, it really means a lot. It has been fantastic to see your son grow with us from the under 2's to our toddler room. It's great to hear that you are both happy and he enjoys his time here at hopscotch.

Review from Matthew D (Father of Child) published on 26 July 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
When talking with the staff in the under 2s room, I've found them to be extremely knowledgeable and caring for the children. We did have one issue, however this was promptly addressed and resolved to a high level. With everyone happier at the end. The space provided and the amount of equipment for the children is fantastic and amazing. With lots of outdoor play being facilitated.

All in all, the under 2s room is fantastic as is the rest of the nursery and I would happily put another child of mine in there for the educational, development and nurturing support they provide both the children and the parents!!! Thank you all of the Hopscotch Staff!

Reply from Laura Smith, Deputy Manager at Hopscotch Day Nursery Gosport

Thank you so much for the lovely review and kind words. We enjoy welcoming you and your little one into the setting each day and it has been a joy to see how he has progressed within our under 2's room. We are pleased to hear that the issue was resolved with happy parties all round and it is lovely to hear your thoughts on our provision. Thank you.

Overall Experience

My Son has attended Hopscotch Gosport since November 2021 and still to this day (June 2023!) I don’t have a bad word to say about the nursery. The whole team have been fab, I’m very particular about who I leave my Son with, yet almost right away when he was in the babies room I felt completely at ease. My son loves all the lovely staff who look after him and it’s clear to tell the staff really care about him too, including management who have been working with me and my son recently following a bout of poor health. Everything is communicated from his sleep, activities, emotions, to what he’s eaten that day. The staff here are all worth their weight in gold. I couldn’t imagine sending him anywhere else, they have my complete trust. Best nursery around!

Reply from Sally Rutledge, Marketing at Hopscotch Day Nursery Gosport
Thank you for your amazing review. We really value all parent's feedback and ensure the team at Gosport get to read them.

Thank for your comments and your fed back. We have loved watching your son grow with us as he has progressed through the nursery. What a super confident and independent young man he has become. We can't believe that he is due to leave us to start his next exciting journey at School in September.

Review from Emma N (Mother of Child) published on 1 August 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I felt very nervous about sending my child to nursery, from my very first meeting with the staff I got a really good vibe, although apprehensive, I felt comfortable. My child's development has been brilliant, he has learnt so much. I often wonder where he gets the songs from and the phrases he says and sings. I can only assume it's from Hopscotch and their team. He has been in the baby section and waddlers so far. He loves all the staff equally but always seems to fall in love with a particular member of staff. My work commitments are ever-evolving and Hopscotch are extremely amicable and supportive of my changes. I’ve always wanted to be a fly on the wall to see what he gets up to, so sometimes I look in the window before ringing the bell, nine times out of ten I see my little boy sitting on someone’s lap getting cuddles, which fills my heart with love. Hopscotch Gosport really are a wonderful and caring nursery. My return to work would not have been possible without them.

Our child has been at Hopscotch for almost 18 months now and absolutely loves it. He is welcomed with huge smiles every morning and as are the girls from him.
I love that everyone is very hands on with the day to day activities and it allows our child to get stuck in too!

Hopscotch Day Nursery Gosport have been fantastic at building my child’s confidence and promoting good social interaction with her peers. Which has been especially important for her after lockdown. They are attentive to her moods on specific days and all the staff are great at building relationships with her and have earned both her trust and mine. I cannot recommend them enough.
