Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.
Reply from Jodie Parker, Nursery Manager at Hopscotch Day Nursery BotleyThank 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.

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
Reply from Jodie Parker, Nursery Manager at Hopscotch Day Nursery BotleyThank you so much for your lovely review. We're so pleased to hear how happy your child is at nursery and that she's enjoying the activities, outdoor space, and mealtimes.

Our daughter absolutely loves attending nursery, and it's been reassuring to see how happy and settled she is there. We receive regular updates through the app, which keeps us informed about her day-to-day routine, including nappy changes, sleep, and meals. This level of communication really puts our
minds at ease.
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.

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

I cannot rate Hopscotch Botley highly enough and recommend it 100%. Our little boy joined in 2023 and he has loved every room he has been in (baby, waddlers, toddlers and now pre-school hall). The staff in each room have been lovely and so welcoming. The reception team are also lovely and welcoming
and it's so nice having them greet all the kids by name as they come in.
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 rooms, as well as our reception staff, have made such a positive impression-greeting each child by name really is something we pride ourselves on. We're also so pleased that he's enjoying our outdoor space and mealtimes (it's always lovely to hear when children are excited about the food!).

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.

Lovely setting, all staff friendly and approachable.

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.

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.

The baby room at Hopscotch Botley has been absolutely wonderful for our little boy. He started just before his first birthday, and from day one, the team has provided everything we could have hoped for and more. We've always felt completely at ease leaving him each day, knowing that his schedule is
thoughtfully tailored to his needs and that the staff are flexible and attentive, always willing to adjust routine to suit him. What truly stands out is the warmth and care they show - there's never a shortage of cuddles, and it's clear how much they genuinely care for the children. We also really appreciate the regular updates and photos, which give us so much reassurance and joy seeing what he's been up to. He's learning so much every day, and he doesn't stop babbling at us on the journey home, filling us in on his day at nursery.
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.

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.
Reply from Jodie Parker, Nursery Manager at Hopscotch Day Nursery BotleyThank 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 with the team to ensure our high standards of care are consistently maintained.Regarding the app, we appreciate your understanding. There have been a few technical glitches with the payment functions, and while we have communicated these promptly with parents and carers, we recognise this may have caused some frustration. We're continuing to work closely with the app developers to improve this.We're really glad to hear you've found the other features of the app fantastic and helpful in keeping you updated throughout the day.Thank you again for your feedback - we truly value it as it helps us improve.

My son started at Hopscotch when he was almost exactly one year old and now he is nearly three. Hopscotch has been the making of him, he is thriving and he has developed so many social skills. They do so many different hands-on activities which use a range of physical, creative and intellectual skills
which really shows when he comes home and shows us things he can do that we never taught him!
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.

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!

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.

Our daughter has been going to Hopscotch for a year now! 6 months in baby room and 6 months in waddlers and me and my husband regularly say to each other how glad we are to have chosen Hopscotch Botley. It really does feel like a family home there, the welcoming faces of the members of staff in the
mornings, who greet every child by their name (a little touch but even after day 1 they knew our daughter), I often see older children who have gone onto school hanging out at reception with them when they drop off their younger siblings which I think says it all around the relationship they establish. Each of the room teams our daughter has been looked after by have gone above and beyond to get to know her, support and teach her and they really feel like an extension of the family.
We trust the team and would recommend Hopscotch to anyone looking for that home away from home feeling for their little one!

Such a fantastic nursery, putting the children at the heart of all their choices and decisions. The Hopscotch Botley setting is perfect for my little one to grow from the babies room, all the way until pre-school, with the setting offering her a little bit of everything needed! The food served to her
is Fantastic, they've considered her dietary needs and overall, I couldn't be fonder of the setting.

(1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 120 number of registered child places is 24, which has been reached with 26 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Kirsty Johnson

Job Title: Deputy Manager Joined: 2024

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.
