About this price
How the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. 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.

We couldn't be happier with the warm welcome and care provided for our three boys since they started in September. They absolutely love going to nursery. They are learning so much and talk lots about what they've been up to when they come home. Communication is excellent and the whole team are friendly and genuinely care about each child. Sending our children here is the best decision we have made and I would highly recommend it.
What an amazing review - thank you so much!
I am glad you get to see the boy's love for nursery and that they come home talking about us. You couldn't get better references than that! I am so glad you feel so positively and warmly about Hopscotch; it is really lovely to read.
Kind regards,
Georgia Graham-Neal, Manager
My daughter loves coming here and is asking all the time to come - even at the weekend. The staff are amazing, and all genuinely love what they do! She loves all the activities that is provided. I get to see lots of observations about my child's learning and play.

Our daughter settled in very quickly to Hopscotch and has built great bonds with all staff members, especially her key worker. Every member of the team we have interacted with is caring and has great knowledge of our daughter's day and needs. We receive regular updates with the app which we love and treasure, seeing the fun activities they get up to. We have also been very impressed with the variety on the menu, which our daughter loves. Our daughter loves the outdoors and currently the space they have is great, but a little small. We look forward to when all the renovations are finished and there is a bigger outdoor space for all the children to enjoy as the plans sounds very exciting!

We are really satisfied with all the aspects of childcare. Our son is happy every time he sees the staff members, they are very nice and patient. They provide us with photos and detailed description of our son's activities through the app. Although our son's social skills aren't the best, he was able to make friends very soon. He is also really satisfied with the food provided.
Thank you for your lovely review. It is lovely to read! We are so glad that your son has settled in well and is enjoying nursery life.
Staff is so friendly and Management does their duty perfectly. I am happy about receiving regular updates of my child's activity and food intake. Overall my child enjoys her day at nursery.

We transferred our daughter from another nursery and she instantly took to Hopscotch where she had still been crying on the door of her old nursery. The staff have been amazing at keeping us updated on her progress and activities and it couldn't have been a more positive outcome for what could have been a difficult transition! Such a huge relief and a happy toddler, thank you so much!
Thank you so much for taking the time to review Hopscotch Portswood. We are so glad to hear at how quickly your little one has settled in and is enjoying nursery life.

It's super spacious, with so many activities for my child to do, and the outdoor space is brilliant.
Communication is on point; the app is always up-to-date, which settles me during the day and always receives lovely pictures of what my child has been up to during the day.
The nursery has really taken on board dietary requirements and respects our decision about the food our child eats.
I've seen a vast improvement in my child's development and behaviour in such a short space of time since attending at the beginning of June!
Can't thank all the staff enough for their hard work!
Best wishes.
Our daughter started here as soon as it opened and we are so happy with the nursery. She always looks forward to going in, and she has so much fun whilst she is there with staff. We have already seen how much she has learnt, she loves it and so do we! Thank you!

I was so apprehensive about sending my baby to nursery as she was so anxious being around with strangers. To my surprise, she settled in nicely and without any concern. Her tears changed into a smile soon. Looks so lovely when she says miss. I am sure the Hopscotch team would manage her and take care of her better. Good luck hopscotch.
Best wishes.

Hello, my name is Becky and I am the Manager of Hopscotch Portswood. I joined the Hopscotch team in 2024 and moved to the Portswood setting in January 2025. I quickly settled into the team and became a manager. I have been primarily preschool-based in my experience but have also been a higher-level teaching assistant in a school setting, having a role as SEN support and helping children learn.At Hopscotch Portswood, we strive to deliver rich, meaningful interactions which allow children to be creative, show care and courage. We want our children to be happy, confident, and have a clear sense of self and belonging within their world, including their local community. We believe in recognising and celebrating children as individuals, and extending their learning through their interests, wants and needs. Our desire is that children experience play-based learning. Learning that should be fun, engaging and suitably challenging. Adults provide high-quality interactions and create meaningful bonds with their children and our families to ensure they are positive role models for learning and provide a home-from-home experience. We have a beautiful outside space which is used throughout all the weather, and we offer free-flow play to allow children to express their own independence and choice. We have a fabulous team of people with a range of experiences and specialities.
