Hopscotch Regents Park opened the doors to its spacious, detached Edwardian property in November 2020. Just to the west of Southampton Common, the nursery is minutes away from Southampton city centre, has good access to the M27, M271 and M3 Motorways and there is ample safe off-road parking for parents dropping off and picking up children. Situated on Regents Park Road, the nursery is right in the heart of Shirley, ideally located for easy access to Shirley’s local amenities and regular visits to Shirley’s many green spaces, or the local library.
Outdoor play is an important part of learning and the large gardens at Regents Park provide ample space and equipment for all age-groups to have fun, explore and learn to manage risk. The nursery team offers a variety of activities based on age and stage of development. Physical play is encouraged with bikes, cars, hoops and balls, and there is climbing equipment, and a playhouse in the garden to develop imaginative play. Sand and water play facilities help to develop their sensory experiences, while the diverse garden environment encourages engagement with nature and conversation about the different wildlife they find. There is wet weather gear available at the setting allowing use of the garden in all weather conditions.
Inside, the nursery offers large spacious rooms which allow continuous provision and free flow movement, and they work hard to ensure that all children are engaged with purposeful play so that each and every one of them is supported to develop their full potential. To support this, they work in partnership with parents to ensure that the needs of all families are met. Hopscotch Day Nurseries have been providing exceptional childcare in the Gosport / Fareham area since 2005, and are very proud of the high standard of care they provide. They look forward to welcoming you into their family.

Such lovely staff, my daughter loves them all to pieces and is always happy to go in. Great, healthy food options for the kids. My daughter has learned a lot since attending hopscotch starting in 2021 and I couldn’t be happier with where she is.

Such a lovely review, thank you. I'm so pleased to hear how great yours and your child's experience is with us.
This seems to depend on the staff member/room involved.

My daughter absolutely loves Hopscotch, she has settled in quite well, she always goes in with a smile, and takes pride in all friendships with fellow toddlers. She is happy to see her key worker and the rest of the staff in toddlers every day. Her milestones are coming along well since joining the nursery. I have recommended the nursery to fellow colleagues as well as I think the nursery and its staff are just brilliant.
We're so please that your little girl has such a great time at nursery, thank you for you lovely review.
The staff are very caring and supportive of the children. Both boys got really good relationships with staff and other children and they love attending the nursery. I could see a huge progress they have made from the very first days. Definitely recommended.

We would really recommend Hopscotch to other parents. Our child enjoys his nursery days. The facilities are great. The staff are fantastic, they are kind and caring. They have helped our child prepare for the next step, building up his confidence and developing skills through fun activities.

Hopscotch Day Nursery at Regents Park is amazing. We have seen a big difference with our little boy since he has been going. His skills and knowledge have improved big time and he's evening teaching us new things every day. The staff go above and beyond to make sure the children are well looked after. The chef cooks amazing meals for all of the children and they involve the parents to devise a menus. The outside area is our little boy's favourite area of the nursery and he loves playing with his friends on the bikes and the slide. I cannot recommend Hopscotch enough. It's an amazing place.
We're so happy that your little one has gained so many new skills and knowledge during his time at nursery. Thank you for such a lovely review.

The nursery has been so supportive of us as first-time parents, supporting us with the transition so sensitively. No ask has been too much.
We are so looking forward to seeing the progress our son has made continue in the next months, and would highly recommend the setting to other parents.

We love Hopscotch Regents Park. The staff are amazing and have such a great bond with my daughter. The staff have also taken the time to build a good relationship with me, I really can't fault them at all. My daughter has such a great time there, she is always excited when we pull up in the mornings. The investment they have put into the building and the garden has really paid off and the staff are a credit to Hopscotch.

Our child has been at Hopscotch for the last two months and she has had a very comfortable and stress-free transition from maternity care. The nursery is clean and well supervised, veggie food well catered for and staff have good knowledge of what has happened throughout the day with our daughter. Everything is well reported on the website for us to access, so we know if she has eaten and slept well. Would highly recommend it, thanks Hopscotch Day Nursery.

Thank you for your love and care we will miss visiting now that the boys are moving onto a new chapter of their lives. We would recommend Hopscotch Regents Park to anyone looking for excellent care from a nursery setting
I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the team in Hopscotch Day Nursery Regents Park for taking such good care of my son. I can see how well he develops, how happy he is to go to nursery every day, how attentive and lovely the team are.

Great team, individual approach to each child personality and needs. Big set of learning and developing activities. Helping children to develop basic skills and knowledge. Variable menu, good selection of healthy dishes and snacks. Safe and reliable environment. Would definitely recommend other parents to consider this nursery for their little ones.
We chose this nursery due to it's proximity to our home and the fact that it had recently been taken over by Hopscotch and had good reviews as a result.

We chose this nursery due to it's proximity to our home and the fact that it had recently been taken over by Hopscotch and had good reviews as a result.
Our first born settled very well and has been happy there for well over a year now.
Our second born has started at nursery much earlier in her life than our eldest and so we are having a new experience in that respect, but the staff are fantastic which has helped immensely.
The staff are warm and kind to our children and we know this through a combination of our contact with them at drop off and pick up and the feedback we get from our eldest.
There are always good activities and games and the garden space provides a wonderful outdoor environment for our children.
The observations we are sent via the app are heartwarming and lovely and provide a great insight into what goes on whilst we are at work.
We are all very happy.
Outstanding preschool. My son absolutely loves going in and always comes out with a smile on his face. Brilliant knowledgable staff members and you can really see that they love what they do. Kind hearted children, good tasks and activities.

I could not be happier with the level of care given by staff to my little boy. He came very shy in September and with the support and encouragement of the preschool team he has really blossomed. He's a lot more confident and happy. He is always so enthusiastic when talking about preschool. He comes home with new facts about the world around him. He's developed great friendships with his peers. I could not recommend this nursery enough! Special thanks to two members of staff in particular in preschool for their amazing care!
Thank you for your lovely review. It's great to hear how the team have had such a positive impact on your son, we have also noticed the difference at nursery.

My little girl didn't speak English before she starts and now she sing and say a lot a word, it is such a relief to see how she is happy at nursery.
Thank you so much for the experience.
Thank you for such a lovely review, I'm so pleased to hear how much your daughter is enjoying her time with us.
Our son has been at Hopscotch Day Nursery Regents Park since September. He had previously attended another pre-school on the other side of the city and whilst there weren't major concerns things hadn't progressed correctly on a number of things. Hopscotch have listened to the issues that we had...
They are a much friendlier team and he has been able to overcome 2 of the 3 hurdles which we were concerned about and we feel as if the third hurdle is just a matter of time now.
I'm also really pleased to hear about the opening of the improved outdoor facilities and look forward to visiting at its official launch to parents.
Big thanks to the whole team, in particular his keyworker.
Thank you for your lovely review, I'm so pleased that we have been able to support your son so well.

Our boy absolutely loves Hopscotch Day Nursery, it’s like a home away from home for him. He loves all the activities and games, especially singing songs and playing in the lovely garden. It’s so nice after so long isolating to see his social skills really developing. Also, he always gets a great variety of food and pretty much always eats everything. All the staff are super friendly and it’s really reassuring to know how happy he is there.
Such a positive review, Thank you. It's great to hear how much your son enjoys his time with us.
