We love Hopscotch Titchfield. The staff genuinely love our child and take care of him like we would. They take time to get to know your child and work closely with each other and management to ensure that nursery is an inviting, exciting, safe and happy place to be. The management team always listen
and are always willing to help in any way they can. Our little boy loves nursery and often doesn't want to come home at the end of the day. That has to be a good sign!

I knew Hopscotch was the right place for my daughter from the moment we walked in! We were welcomed by warm friendly staff and it’s been the same ever since and that’s three years ago now. My daughter loves it there, she does fun and educational activities every day and has made such good friends. She
adores her preschool ‘ladies’ who genuinely seem to love their jobs. Nothing is too much trouble and there’s always a willing ear or shoulder should you need it as much as the children! I will be a mess when she leaves as you’re all like family to us. I couldn’t recommend this lovely environment more highly.

My son has been with Hopscotch for 18 months. He has thoroughly enjoyed his 2 days a week.
Having started in toddlers, he made a smooth transition into the Pre School rooms.
The space and variety of things to do is far greater than any other nursery I visited before choosing Hopscotch. I knew from
the second I walked in the door and was met at reception that it was going to be the perfect setting for my son.
The staff have been amazing throughout his time and there are a few he is going to miss greatly when he leaves in a few weeks.
I cannot thank the staff enough for everything they have done.

I could tell straight from the visit to Hopscotch that the staff would be amazing. This was a real tipping point for choosing the nursery. My son did struggle initially to settle at nursery but the whole team did absolutely everything to help him adjust to being there; this included extra settling in
sessions at no extra cost which helped him enormously. Over his time at the nursery, he has developed so many amazing skills and this is thanks to the amazing structure of the nursery day, the skilled nursery staff and the superb range of equipment in the Under 2s room. I love hearing about his day and the staff use Tapestry brilliantly to update me with pictures and videos! Makes it that little bit easier to leave him knowing he is having a wonderful time.

Hopscotch Day Nursery Titchfield has been a fabulous nursery for both my son and now daughter. They have both thrived in the fun-packed, educational environment that the staff create for the children. The staff create such a warm, safe place for the children to explore their characters, their skills,
language and so much more. I love getting the updates both first hand at pickup or via the observations on the Parent Mail/portal. Both my children have loved being here and it has helped to bolster their confidence and helping to prepare them for school. Thank you.

All the staff that work at the nursery are not only caring towards the children in their care but also to the families of those children too. The whole nursery has such a family atmosphere and my little girl absolutely adores going there every day. She has been to other nurseries before we found Hopscotch
and she wasn't half as happy. It is all down to the staff. Thank you Hopscotch!!!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am so pleased that I chose to send my son to this nursery, he has been in the under 2's room for 8 months now since starting when he turned 1 year old and he has settled in so well and loves his days at nursery. The staff keep parents well informed of what children have been doing each day and the
range of activities and meals provided is fantastic. Children have lots of time outside, which was something that was important to me for my son. One of my biggest concerns when he first started was napping, but staff worked with me to find the best solution for him and he now naps brilliantly when he is at nursery. The car park can be a bit busy at pickup/dropoff times as it is small, but this seems to be a common issue for nurseries and is a minor issue when everything else is so good.
Reply from Sally Rutledge, Manager at Hopscotch Day Nursery Titchfield
Thank you so much for the amazing review. The car park can be very busy at certain times of the day and we encourage parents to utilise the space we have.

We have always found Hopscotch to be amazing with our little girl and had no hesitation in signing our second child to this nursery too.


We receive regular communication from the manager and have had extra assistance from the nursery staff with regards to the transition of welcoming second baby,

encouraging feeding and good behaviour at home.


I would certainly recommend the nursery to new parents.

Hopscotch Day Nursery Titchfield is an amazing nursery. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. They keep the parents really well informed on everything to with the children, staff and nursery changes. They all seem to know their stuff and are very committed to making the environment a fun and happy
one with every opportunity to learn and develop. My little boy has settled in really well and you can see how much the staff care for each and every child in their care. As a 1st-time mum, everything and anything can be worrying but they have all been very supportive and helpful and made both his and my transition into nursery a very easy one. All in all, I couldn't be happier with our decision on the nursery and would happily recommend them to everyone!

My 13 month old daughter started at Hopscotch Day Nursery Titchfield only a few weeks ago but since being here she has developed so many skills. The staff in the baby room are all so friendly as are the management staff and I feel confident my daughter is being well cared for by them. She thoroughly
enjoys it here.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.851)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.851) out of 10 for Hopscotch Day Nursery Titchfield is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.851 for Hopscotch Day Nursery Titchfield is calculated as follows: ( (262 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 288 Ratings = 4.851
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hopscotch Day Nursery Titchfield is based on 23 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 75 number of registered child places is 15, which has been reached with 23 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Anna Dempsey

Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2011

Hi, I’m Anna, the Nursery Manager at Hopscotch Titchfield.
I’ve been part of the Hopscotch family since 2011, starting as a newly qualified Level 3 practitioner in the Under 2’s room. Over the years, I’ve worked with all age groups and developed my skills through hands-on experience, professional training, and the guidance of many knowledgeable colleagues.
In 2019, I proudly stepped into the role of Manager at the very setting where my Hopscotch journey began. I bring 18 years of experience in childcare, and I’m currently completing my Level 5 qualification. In addition to my professional experience, becoming a mother in 2016 has given me an even deeper understanding and appreciation of child development and the importance of strong parent partnerships.
I truly believe working in early years is one of the most rewarding careers. I’m passionate about supporting children's development and love being able to apply both my personal and professional experiences to lead a nurturing, high-quality setting here at Hopscotch.
