Hopscotch Day Nursery Lee-on-Solent

We have had the most wonderful experience with our daughter starting nursery. Right from the outset, when viewing the nursery, the atmosphere was warm and inviting and it was clear to see the children were happy and the staff were too, which is so important. Our daughter has settled in so well, and the staff in Babies, and the managers, have all been incredible in their support and reassurance - the transition to starting nursery can be just as difficult for parents! We couldn't be more pleased with our choice.

Such a lovely nursery, all the ladies care so much for each child. My daughter has been at Hopscotch since she was 8 months old and has truly thrived. She was a little apprehensive about starting preschool. But has grown in confidence week on week.

My little girl started toddlers in September 2023, she was a little slow on her speech and was a little nervous trying to make friends and socialise more, she's now in the pre-school room and I am so happy with the progress she has made! She is doing so well and is so happy! Safe to say she talks all day long and loves all her friends! I can't thank the staff of Lee-on-the-Solent enough! They have gone above and beyond to make my daughter feel like she is important and involved! She absolutely loves school and I wouldn't send her anywhere else! Deserves 10 stars if I could!

A lovely nursery, my daughter loves going and has such a great time! The staff are always so helpful and supportive, especially with her dad going away to sea frequently. A very friendly and welcoming environment.

My daughter has started nursery here in September and she has made so much progress in such a short space of time, they have taught her great skills like listening ears and kind words. She loves "school" so much the staff and management are so supportive and caring towards our daughter and any parent that has any issues. The rooms are amazing with so much to do, so clean and inviting. Our daughter loves the food too! And sharing recipes has made snack time at home so much easier. Thank you for being such a great place to send our little girl!

Hopscotch Lee-on-Solent is and continues to be an outstanding setting for my son in all aspects. He absolutely loves attending and the passion all staff have for the care and wellbeing of the children really shines through daily. We always receive a warm welcome at the beginning of the day and a great handover at the end, not to mention all of the activities in between! Hopscotch has allowed for my son to grow in confidence, try new things and build some really positive relationships in preparation for school and we can’t thank you enough!

Excellent nursery, my son has really thrived since starting here. Facilities are excellent, and the staff are amazing from the manager to the practitioners. Truly a great nursery, 5 stars isn't enough!

This is a real gem of a nursery and my daughter loved her time there. She developed really well and made some great little friends. The staff were always friendly, lovely and took great care of her. Sadly we moved house so we had to cut short her time there. Saying goodbye to the Hopscotch family was very emotional!

Hopscotch are always out in the community, they have great connections to the local areas. All the team are very caring, nurturing, supportive and knowledgeable. My little girl loves attending!

Special shout out to to one staff member- as a Dad, I’m a bit hopeless at doing my daughter's hair, so she’ll always be kind enough to tidy up whatever calamity I produce and leave my daughter’s hair looking amazing!

The staff at Hopscotch Day Nursery are so amazing, our daughter loves nursery and I was always so worried about leaving her but I never worry now. She comes out every day beaming and the staff genuinely care, play with the children, engage with them and the food is outstanding! They take them to the library, the beach, park and make full use of the 3 separate age-appropriate rooms. Thank you all so much! You’re doing an incredible job!

We have 3 grandchildren at Hopscotch down all in different sections. We cannot find fault with anything. Happy welcoming staff, happy children. Can't believe the food that they have. Amazing. Well done Hopscotch.

Thank you so much again.

Overall - excellent. Thank you!

My daughter started July 2022 and the year she has been at Hopscotch Day Nursery Lee-on-Solent has been fantastic. She has come on leaps and bounds, her speech is getting better and better, massive thank you to her key worker, the work she has gone I cannot put into words. And a simple thank you is not enough. Another member of staff in particular also, she fought her corner to get her Education Health and Care plan ready for year R, a simple thank you for the past year that Sophia has been there is not enough, but thank you, a very grateful mummy and daddy.

Fantastic nursery. It's always lovely to see my daughter excited to start her day at nursery and come home each day with a smile. The staff have been brilliant and extremely helpful. 1000% happy with my choice to enroll my daughter into this nursery.

My daughter has attended Hopscotch Day Nursery Lee-on-Solent since she was 9 months old. She is now four and will be leaving for school this year! All the staff throughout have been absolutely amazing and have helped my daughter grow and learn. She has always been happy at Hopscotch Day Nursery Lee-on-Solent and I can’t thank them enough.

We can’t thank Hopscotch Day Nursery, and particularly the Under 2’s room enough for the way they have cared for our daughter during our time here. We are so sad to be leaving the area as we have seen how much she has learned and the great bonds she has formed with the staff and other children alike. The nursery do what they can to support you and your little one’s routine. She has sometimes struggled with saying goodbye to us in the mornings but the staff were always so supportive and caring that we knew she would be smiling within minutes and we then get that reassurance by the open communication and feedback about her day. Her confidence has come on leaps and bounds, as well as her speech and language. She absolutely loves the trips out to the library for rhyme time and gets plenty of opportunities to do messy or imaginative play for which we personally sometimes struggle to think of and do at home. We can’t thank them enough and we will really miss seeing her continue to grow there.

After an 11 year wait for a daughter I was apprehensive, if not insistent that nobody would be able to offer the level of care, support and well-being for my daughter to the high standards that I would expect. However, the past 6 months of her attending Lee on Solent Hopscotch Day Nursery has proven me wrong. The care and compassion the waddlers team and especially her key worker have provided has been exceptional. As a busy working parent it is natural to be concerned about missing out on key milestones or events but Hopscotch go the extra mile to bridge that gap through detailed and concise handovers and most importantly open and honest conversations, as well as reporting via online care diaries and regular photos. From the moment you walk in, to the moment you leave, it's clear that it's not a standard nursery thrown together for profit but that your child is treated like family and as such I can't recommend them highly enough for any other prospective parents.

Hopscotch Day Nursery Lee-on-Solent is a fantastic nursery! Our daughter started at 10 months old during the first lockdown which as you can imagine was a very strange time to return to work and leave your baby with people for the first time due to lockdown. Hopscotch dealt with this fantastically! She had to start at a different setting but was assigned a keyworker from Lee on Solent to aid the transition back to Lee on Solent again. She is now in pre-school and has thrived during her time at Hopscotch! The staff are very friendly, caring and ensure you are kept up to date and that any concerns are raised. My daughter loves the staff there, the other children and the lovely activities they organise. I would highly recommend this nursery!
