Overall Experience
Child really loves the nursery. Doesn't want to stop playing at home time!
Loves to investigate everywhere and eats very well.
Really looking forward to the coming year and child spending more time running around in their enormous garden!

I haven't rated all areas because I don't know the details of them all, but the ones I do know are 5 stars!

Reply from Becky McFarlane, Nursery Manager at Hopscotch Day Nursery Regents Park

Overall Experience
Since our son joined the nursery we have nothing but good things to say about each member of staff involved in his care. They go above and beyond and really do appear to love their jobs.
Not only this but the management are always available to listen to any queries you may have and are very accommodating when extra support is needed.

I'd recommend this nursery to anyone looking.

Reply from Cazz Kearslake, Nursery Deputy Manager at Hopscotch Day Nursery Regents Park

Thank you for your lovely feedback. We're so pleased your son has settled in well and that you feel supported by both our team and management. Our staff take real pride in creating a nurturing, supportive environment for every child, so thank you for your kind words about their dedication.

Review from Chloe B (Mother of Child) published on 13 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My Daughter started Nursery in October 2025, we are now 3 months in and she absolutely loves it! I love how all the staff know her and acknowledge her even if they aren't in her room. They spend a lot of time outside in the garden (Any weather) together with all age groups which is fantastic. The garden is massive and has so many things for them to do. The menu rotates and the food sounds delicious which my daughter seems to enjoy.

The Staff are so lovely and nurturing which as a mother who was very nervous about their child starting nursery is very reassuring.

Thank you Hopscotch Regents Park Team for making the nursery transition a lovely experience for both of us.

Reply from Becky McFarlane, Nursery Manager at Hopscotch Day Nursery Regents Park
Thank you so much for your review. It has been great to get to know the family and see your little one grow and develop. We are pleased we could be so supportive too with your little one starting with us.

I will share your feedback with Sam our chef as he will be pleased!

The staff here really take the time to get to know the children and they are very sensitive to my daughter's needs. They are very willing to listen to any worries and help with particular learning tasks in preschool. The facilities are also well taken care of, with an amazing outdoor space which my daughter loves. The staff are always friendly and the management are always available and helpful.

Review from K H (Mother of Child) published on 12 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child has been at this Hopscotch setting for almost 3 years and I've only ever felt positive about their time here. The staff are incredible - patient, caring, and genuinely seem engaged with every child. The setting itself is lovely and there's always something for the children to do. Management are great, engaged with the rooms and children, and responsive if I've needed to contact them. My child happily tells me about their day and often talks about their 'nursery adults' as well as their peer group. It's great to see them feel so comfortable outside of their home!

Reply from Becky McFarlane, Nursery Manager at Hopscotch Day Nursery Regents Park

Such kind words and praise. Thank you so much! We love to see the children grow and develop and are proud to be part of that journey!

A really fantastic nursery with wonderful staff who have helped my son settle in so well. He goes 3 full days a week and has a fantastic time. The food sounds delicious and he now seems to eat everything. I really couldn't recommend them enough. To cap it all off the garden/playground at the back is huge.

This is a fantastic nursery we have watched our young son in babies class come on leaps and bounds since attending this nursery! We feel so happy to leave him there and know he's well looked after. From 4 staff members in particular he loves being there! We are grateful to have such a well run nursery on our door step. They really care about development and teaching the kids new skills. It has a massive garden and great facilities!

Thank you so much for your kind words! I will be sure to share these with the team in the room too! It has been a joy seeing him develop.

Review from J V (Father of Child) published on 22 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Hopscotch Regents Park have never been short of excellent when dealing with my daughter. She arrived a shy and somewhat reserved child, reticent to interact with anyone but my wife and I. Now, nearly two years later, she's a friendly and vivacious little girl. The nursery staff have helped her develop her vocabulary, both spoken and makaton sign language. She loves her key workers and talks about them and what they did each day with enthusiasm and when we arrive rushes in with glee.

I think that tells you everything you need to know. She loves it, we love it and we're sending our second there with no reservations.

Reply from Becky McFarlane, Nursery Manager at Hopscotch Day Nursery Regents Park

That is great to hear and we are excited for your 2nd little one to start! Your feedback is much appreciated.

Review from Anfisa E (Mother of Child) published on 11 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Fantastic nursery! Our son has been attending Hopscotch, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. The staff are incredibly kind, caring, and professional, creating a warm and nurturing environment where children truly thrive.
From the very first day, we felt reassured by how well our son was welcomed and supported. The team at Hopscotch genuinely cares about each child, ensuring their individual needs are met while fostering independence and confidence.
The activities are engaging, well-planned, and help develop essential skills in a fun and creative way. Our son has made great progress in his social skills, communication, and confidence, and he absolutely loves going to nursery every day.
Communication with parents is good - we are always kept informed. It's clear that the team puts in a lot of effort to create a safe, stimulating, and happy environment.

We highly recommend Hopscotch to any parent looking for a wonderful place for their child to learn and grow!

Review from K P (Mother of Child) published on 19 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We can't sing Hopscotch's praises enough! Our son has been there for the past year and has moved from toddler room to preschool 1 and the staff have been so supportive in his care and transition between rooms.
I know I am leaving him in safe hands with everybody in the setting and his key worker has been super at communicating, along with all members of staff.
The playrooms are set up beautifully for the children's arrival each morning and the wonderful garden is such an asset too, which they maximise as much as possible. The resources and toys are all kept in good condition and the rooms and displays of children's artwork make it a lovely environment.
The food offered throughout the day is fantastic and my son has definitely tried new foods, which is great.

Hopscotch uses Famly as a means to communicate with parents, which is updated very regularly by staff and is simple to use as a busy parent too.

Reply from Sally Rutledge, Marketing at Hopscotch Day Nursery Regents Park

Wow! Thank you for your kind words! We truly appreciate your feedback. It has been a joy having your son at the nursery; just the other day, he had everyone gushing over him when he surprised a lovely little girl with a Valentine's card! What a charming boy he is! We are excited for him to continue his journey with us at Hopscotch. Thank you once again!

My son has been attending this nursery for over a year. He likes the staff and likes playing. They are friendly and take good care of him while we are at work. We feel he is safe when he is there.

Reply from Sally Rutledge, Marketing at Hopscotch Day Nursery Regents Park

Thank you very much for your kind feedback. We are delighted to have your son at the nursery. It has been wonderful to see him sharing his enthusiasm for buses with his friends in the toddler room; he inspired everyone to create a bus out of chairs! We look forward to supporting him on the rest of his journey here at Hopscotch!

My son has improved dramatically whilst being at Hopscotch. He was a slow starting talker and the staff have helped him with sentences and different words. They have also helped with his food and given him lots of experimenting! Can't thank the staff enough for helping him develop so well

Overall Experience

My son has been at Hopscotch from a year old. He is just turning 4 and in preschool. I have always trusted all the staff with him and he's always been happy there. He has formed close bonds with different staff members as he has moved through the rooms and his happiness tells me all I need to know. He eats well from the wide range of meals offered. They often take the children out on little outings, which he absolutely loves. I will be sad for him to leave come September time. Highly recommended!

It's been almost 3 years since my son started and I'm very grateful to all the staff at Hopscotch, working with every age group for taking care of him! What I like the most is that whenever my son is upset- at the drop-off or later during the day, he always gets a hug and reassurance. Thank you for being so patient and caring!

Review from Clarisse R (Mother of Child) published on 28 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My two girls love being at Hopscotch.
My eldest has been there since early 2021 and is always getting involved in lots of fun activities and mini trips which she is always so excited to talk about at home. The staff have been brilliant with her ensuring she is doing things she enjoys like baking messy play and art but also learning lots along the way. A special mention to the staff who she adores!
Little sister followed in early 2023 and she loves spending time with her big sister in the spacious and incredible outdoor facilities. They key person the rest of the team at Toddlers (now Pre-School 2) have been so attentive with her and really helped her fit in and they have been great with adapting to any new routines.
Both girls have allergies which Hopscotch has always been very good and with and management were incredibly understanding as we navigated through the challenges of the early stages as well.

All around would recommend Hopscotch to anyone!

Reply from Hayley James, Nursery Manager at Hopscotch Day Nursery Regents Park
