We've had such a positive experience with this nursery. The staff are kind, caring and incredibly supportive, and it's been amazing seeing how much progress has been made since attending. They create such a welcoming and safe environment for every child and always keep parents updated. They are especially wonderful with SEN children, showing so much patience, understanding and genuine care. It's so reassuring knowing your child is happy, supported and truly understood while they're there. I couldn't recommend them enough.
Thank you so much for your kind words and support. It means the world to us to hear that your child feels happy, safe and understood in our care. Were so proud of the progress theyve made and truly appreciate your trust in our team.
My son has attended the nursery now for over 3 years, going through each age group. From the first day he attended I have never had any concerns, he thoroughly enjoys attending his days here. It's a fantastic nursery with brilliant staff. The communication between staff and parents is to a very high standard. I would highly recommend the nursery and I'm sad my son is leaving to move onto primary school.
Thank you for your kind feedback. It has been a pleasure to support your son over the past three years and to see his development as he progressed through each stage. We greatly appreciate your positive comments regarding our team and communication. We wish him every success and happiness as he moves on to primary school.
I can not rate Hopscotch highly enough. The care for my little boy is excellent. I am well informed about him throughout the day and the staff are always so approachable and friendly. It's lovely to see him so happy going into nursery every day- thank you!
Were so pleased that you feel well informed and supported, and that our team has made such a positive impression. Thank you again for your lovely feedbackit really means a lot to us!
My child has the best time at nursery. The staff are all amazing with her. I'm particularly impressed with how personal everyone is when they comment about my child as it is clear they know her really well and have developed a close relationship with her. This is a testament to their hard work considering how many children they work with every day. I love seeing the pictures of my child in nursery, she is always having so much fun and comes home singing all sorts of new songs with dance moves to match. The activities are varied and developmentally appropriate giving ample opportunities for learning, sensory and messy play. It's really important to me that my child spends time outside and the outdoor space is so appealing to my child with the amount of activities she can play with. I also appreciate the variety of food available on the menu ensuring my child has a balanced diet meeting her nutritional needs. She is so content there are no tears when I leave. Thank you for your hard work
It means a lot to know you feel our team really knows her well and has built such a strong relationship-this is something we...
She has built a genuine bond with her key worker - her face lights up whenever we mention her name, which says everything about the care and connection she feels. The staff have been supportive and have made what can be an emotional and daunting transition feel smooth and positive.
It's also lovely to see how much she enjoys the wide range of activities. She is clearly developing well and having lots of fun. We couldn't be happier with the care she receives.
Its great to know that the regular updates through the app help give you peace of mind and keep you connected to her day. Were...
Our daughter loves going to nursery at Hopscotch. She started going in November and the team have been so helpful and lovely with helping her settle. She's greeted by her name each morning by reception which I think is a lovely touch and I really like how they're very hot on the safeguarding/access to the building. All in all I would really recommend Hopscotch Botley
Its wonderful to know that our team has been able to support her transition and make her feel comfortable...
The outside space is amazing with so much for them to do.
My little one raves about the food choices and eats so well at nursery.
The app is great and I love receiving updates through out the day.
I guarantee if you choose Hopscotch Botley you won't be disappointed!
It's wonderful to know that our teams across all...
My son is in Waddlers currently. The care and attention is second to none. He is so happy to run into nursery each morning he's there, no tears just big smiles. I'm excited for him to continue to grow with Hopscotch. Huge thanks!

We cannot recommend Hopscotch highly enough! They truly put our child's needs first, especially during the transition from the Baby room to Waddlers. The communication was excellent; we were constantly kept informed and introduced to the new team, with settling-in sessions that made the whole move feel seamless. The staff are consistently friendly, caring, and professional.
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review. Were absolutely delighted to hear that you felt supported during your childs transition from the Baby room to Waddlersthis is such an important milestone, and we always aim to make it as smooth and reassuring as possible for both children and...
Lovely setting, all staff friendly and approachable. When my little girl first started, they made the experience relaxing, with updates on how she was settling and never getting annoyed with all my phone calls checking up on her. She is happy going to Hopscotch, and so are we. Thank you Hopscotch Botley, and all the amazing ladies on babies.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! Were so pleased to hear your daughter settled in well and enjoys her time with us. It means a lot to know you felt supported and reassuredour team will be delighted to hear your kind words!
Our daughter has been going to Hopscotch Nursery Botley since May 2025 and my wife and I couldn't be happier!
Our daughter is developing so well, and her confidence is definitely shining. A big contribution to that is the work Hopscotch do with her on her days in.
The staff are absolutely incredible from front desk to room assistants and key carers. She has been in different rooms now throughout her time there, and both rooms she has been in have been brilliant! The online app is so well regulated and monitored so we always know what our little girl has been up to which is fantastic. Regular pictures and updates are so welcomed and great for my wife and I to look back on Since she has been here.
We think so highly of this nursery, and have no regrets whatsoever. Would definitely recommend for new parents wanting to find an amazing nursery.
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful feedback! Were delighted to hear how happy you are and how well your daughter is progressing. It means a great deal to our whole team to know our efforts are making a positive difference. We truly appreciate your recommendation!
We are so happy we chose Hopscotch Day Nursery for our daughter. She has settled in so well in the baby's room with thanks to her key worker and all the other lovely ladies looking after her. From the beginning, we've had great communication from the point of enquiry, application, settling in sessions to now where we're 6 weeks in. Our daughter is always so happy to see everyone. We love that not only the room staff know her of course, but reception do and have done so since the beginning. They always welcome every child by their name when they walk through. Our daughter seems very content, loves messy play and being in the garden. She's well looked after and stimulated by the different activities, very diverse with food now she's weaning too.
Thank you so much for this lovely review. We're delighted to hear how well your daughter has settled and that you've felt supported every step of the way. Our team will be thrilled to know their care, communication, and warm welcomes have made such a positive difference
A heartfelt thank you to the entire baby room team - you've made such a positive impact on our son's last few months, and we're so grateful.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Were delighted to hear that your little boy has thrived in the baby room and that youve felt so supported and reassured. Its wonderful to know hes happy, learning, and enjoying his days with us. Your appreciation means a lot to the whole team thank you for sharing such lovely feedback.
My son Oliver has been attending Hopscotch Botley for over a year now. Both myself and my wife are extremely happy with the nursery. Everyone from the lovely ladies on the front desk to all the staff working with the children have been amazing! Helpful, kind and so thoughtful with the children. The dinner ladies should get a mention too - the menu is amazing! Highly recommend Hopscotch and will enjoy watching Oliver develop even further there.
Thank you so much for your kind words! Were delighted to hear that Oliver is thriving and that youre happy with our team and care. Its a pleasure to watch him grow and develop with us!
So far, I have been very pleased with the progress my daughter has made at the nursery. All the staff are very caring and nurturing. There have been a few times where my daughter has come out with such a crusty nose, but I understand that they are caring for quite a few children. I love that app. Being able to see photos of my daughter's day and updates throughout her time at nursery is great. The only downfall of this app was receiving 2 late fees, trying to make a payment, only to be told later that you can't use the 'payment' icon to pay the nursery fees.
Thank you for your recent review. We're so pleased to hear that you find our staff caring and nurturing - it's something we take great pride in.We're sorry to hear that your child has occasionally been handed over with a dirty face. This is not the standard we strive for, and we will raise this...
All the staff are lovely and you tell they genuinely care about the children and create bonds with them.
Also the food they are offered is really wholesome and varied.
Overall 10/10 and I would definitely recommend Hopscotch to any prospective parent.
Thank you so much for your lovely review and recommendation! It's wonderful to hear how much Hopscotch has supported your little ones development. We truly value feedback from parents, and Ill be sure to share your kind words with the entire team.
Lots out outside playing space my little girl loves it here.
Definitely the best nursery we have tried
Thank you for your lovely review! Our staff take great pride in creating a friendly, welcoming environment where children feel safe and happy, so it means the world to us that you've noticed how dedicated they are.
Hopscotch Nursery has been brilliant. Our little boy loves going in and seeing his friends and playing. The team in each room are really passionate about the care and progression of the children and you can see that with the opportunities and provision they provide. Our son has transitioned rooms and is going to be transitioning again soon, this was always a little worrying but the ladies were brilliant at sharing information and answering any questions you may have. We are expecting another baby and we have already put in for a place for them to go, as we know that they will be happy going to Hopscotch too!
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. We are absolutely thrilled to hear how much your little one enjoys his time with us. It's always such a joy to watch the children grow and develop, and we're so grateful to be a part of their journey. Thank you for continuing your family's journey with us, and we look forward to welcoming your new little one when the time comes.
We love Hopscotch for our daughter, the staff are lovely and always kind and welcoming. They make a special effort to know what each child 'needs' when they first arrive in the morning, and work well to help them settle for the day. There's such a wide range of activities, and we're forever noticing new things our child is learning that wouldn't be possible without the nursery environment.
We're so happy to hear that you felt welcomed and supported by our friendly team. Creating a warm, caring environment for both children and families is so important to us-and it's wonderful to hear that the variety of activities we offer helped make your experience even more special.
We trust the team and would recommend Hopscotch to anyone looking for that home away from home feeling for their little one!
Thank you for such a lovely review! We're so happy to hear you had a great experience with us and our team. Our staff truly love what they do!

Hi I'm Kirsty, I'm the deputy manager here at Hopscotch Botley. I have been with the company since 2012 and I have experienced many different roles throughout my childcare career, including working my way up from bank staff to the waddler room leader, before moving onto my role here at nursery as Deputy Manager. I have two children so I understand how important early years care is. They have both attended the Titchfield setting as I know Hopscotch is the best care for them. I am excited to bring my ideas and knowledge into the role and am passionate about building links within the local community.
