Hopscotch Day Nursery Portswood

Friendly nursery and staff are fun and engaged with children. Lovely setting and amazing garden, my son is very happy here and his bond with his key person is very special. He loves going to nursery to play with his friends and take part in the exciting activities.

The team are so friendly, and my son absolutely loves them. He’s always excited to go to nursery, which puts my mind at ease whilst I’m at work! He loves going on outings in the local community and always leaves nursery at the end of the day with a big smiling face. Very happy with the care, support and activities provided.

Very happy with Hopscotch. The quality of care provided by the staff is excellent. They know our daughter so well and have supported her through all the inevitable ups and downs of being a preschooler! Restorative and child-centred - highly recommend.

The new garden is fantastic - the kids love it.

My son has been attending the baby room at Hopscotch’s Portswood setting for 7 months now. It was initially difficult for me to be away from him, but seeing the love and care he receives makes it easier for me! Whilst I’m at work I regularly refer to the app for updates and sometimes forget that he’s at daycare. I know that he is being looked after and that they take his development seriously. The babies engage in educational activities and I love seeing their updates. The staff are friendly and engaging. He enjoys eating the food there and I will be using some of their recipes!

My daughter loves going to school now, the staff have really been amazing being very patient and so wonderful my daughter has grown so much since starting Hopscotch Nursery thank you all so much!

Our children are very happy at this nursery. They are clearly stimulated throughout the day and enjoy a broad range of activities and foods. Individual needs in terms of feeding are catered to. The new garden is a fantastic addition. All the staff are lovely and kind, they know the children and the children trust them. The safe storage for prams outside is really helpful for different parents doing the pickup/drop-off.

When I drop my daughter off in the morning I feel really confident that she's going to have a great day and the best care. I really recommend Hopscotch Nursery.

Thank you everyone at Hopscotch Portswood, you’re all amazing.

My daughter started Hopscotch Portswood in September after a bad experience with another nursery I was very anxious but the manager was so welcoming and understanding (my daughter is nonverbal and Autistic). The staff are all so friendly and lovely. A particular member of staff is her 121 and always gives a thorough handover which is amazing, she seems to know my daughter so well already. I’m so happy with how she has settled at preschool, she really seems to enjoy her time there and she’s happy to go to any of the staff which is so reassuring. She is trying new things with the encouragement of the staff which I appreciate so much. I highly recommend Hopscotch to anyone!

I registered my baby at Hopscotch Portswood end of July for him to start at the beginning of August following an unpleasant experience with another local nursery and had no hope that I would find a good nursery for our baby boy. I booked a tour of the nursery with the Manager who came across as very confident and helpful showing us around and giving all the information needed without even having to ask questions as she already provided us with the answers.

Whilst looking around I even started crying seeing they have a separate room for babies to sleep in with a dark room and white noise on as this is how our baby sleeps at home. Now we are nearly a month in and all I can say is that this is the best nursery we could have chosen for our baby.

Everything but everything is perfect and outstanding. The staff are amazing and really kind and they get to know them and what they like and try to keep your routine from home.

Thank you to all of you at Portswood for everything

My son's development has improved since starting at this nursery.

When our 6 month old boy started nursery, we had a lot of trepidation, but Hopscotch Day Nursery Portswood has been absolutely incredible, and we can see how enriching our little boy's daily experience has been. All the carers are so lovely, and it is very apparent how tenderly they treat our son. The nursery posts many details about his day on the app which is immensely reassuring, and every time when we come to pick him up, it is clear that he has had a full day and has been very well-looked after. Overall our experience has been completely fantastic - I would highly recommend Hopscotch to any parents of young children.

We've had such a positive experience with everyone at Hopscotch Day Nursery! Our little one was only 6 months old when he started so I was quite nervous but the staff has been amazing. I got in touch before he even started as I had some concerns (bottle refusal, contact napping) and the branch manager was so helpful, gave me some great recommendations and really put my mind at ease. In general, everyone I've spoken to is so sweet and reassuring. We get regular updates and pictures of all the fun sensory activities he gets up to throughout the day. Being so young, he doesn't really have any kind of routine in place and the team has been incredibly accommodating. They even let him fall asleep in their arms before every nap as he sometimes struggles to fall asleep on his own. The facilities are great: they've just gone through a big renovation and have lots of fun toys for all ages. It also always smells super clean when I pick him up. Communication has been super efficient thanks to the app.

My child loves the daycare and I love it too. The teachers are friendly and polite. They give daily report on activities that your child was involved in how your child’s day went generally. It is very obvious that they genuinely care about the children that they care for. I am glad that my child goes there.

Hopscotch Day Nursery Portswood has been amazing for our little girl. She always walks in happily and does an array of activities. She seems so settled and the staff are super friendly and professional. I am especially impressed with all of the communications, photos and daily updates.

The team are really friendly and practical which we love. We went away on holiday and for a couple of months and came back to an even more mature Nursery. Updated processes, more children, more activities, etc. We take our hat off to the team for their hard work!

My daughter absolutely loves it at Hopscotch Day Nursery. She is excited to go in every day, and talks about the great time she shares with friends and staff there (she even talks about it at the weekend!) She does a wide range of activities each day and always enjoys telling me about all the new things she has learned and the experiences she is having. She plays outside in the lovely garden twice a day and always learns new things through the stories and songs she participates in. Every member of staff is so friendly, professional and caring. The nursery has great communication with parents. My daughter loves the food and enjoys a great healthy freshly cooked meal every day! Cannot fault my experience with Hopscotch.

Very happy with the nursery, very caring and professional staff. Our little girl has settled really well. The setting is also beautiful and the communication between the nursery and parents is very good.

Thank you to the whole team.
