Review from Aysha M (Mother of Child) published on 28 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Hopscotch Day Nursery in Regent's Park has been brilliant for our little boy. He has been with them since a baby and progressed so much.
The staff are amazing, teach them so much and always show a lot of care.
Always different things to do each day and to learn. The outside and garden are fab. Lots to do.

We are very grateful to everyone.

Overall Experience
Overall happy with the care provided to our daughter. If we had any pointers for improvement it would be that the communication can be lacking at times.

This seems to depend on the staff member/room involved.

Review from Alina A (Mother of Child) published on 16 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Sarah S (Mother of Child) published on 8 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Roisin P (Mother of Child) published on 24 January 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our little boy joined the nursery in December and we have been delighted with how nurturing and caring the staff have been. He has already formed a very strong attachment to his key worker, to the point he doesn’t like her out of his sight! We love that he feels so clearly cared about.
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.

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

Hopscotch Day Nursery Regents Park has been just amazing in the care they have provided to my 2 young grandsons. The relationship we developed with staff was superb. The love and care they have provided has been exemplary. We couldn't have wished for a better start for our precious boys. 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

Review from Morten W (Father of Child) published on 19 October 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Both my children attend Hopscotch Day Nursery Regents Parkin Shirely, Southampton.
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.

Overall Experience

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!

The Hopscotch Day Nursery Regents Park on Regents Park is a wonderful place. My daughter started nursery on February and I was very anxious but the staff are amazing and very supportive.
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.

Review from Nick O (Father of Child) published on 10 May 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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 been facing and have really helped to progress our son.
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.

Overall Experience

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.
