Both our boys have had a great experience at Hopscotch. Our eldest loves pre school hall and our youngest has settled well in babies. The provision is great for each room and we can see the staff care about the children. We are very happy we chose Hopscotch as our childcare provider.

Our little boy Oliver will soon be moving up from his toddlers group after another fantastic year at Hopscotch. He absolutely loves it there and has grown so fond of all the staff, and of course his key person, Lauren. I love that we receive really sweet updates and pictures about his progress, and they also offer really helpful advice. For example, Lauren was great at giving us tips and encouragement whilst potty training, and after our first weekend at home of introducing the potty to Oliver, all he wanted to do was tell Lauren about it! :-D A huge thank you to all the staff, from a friendly welcome at reception, to a food menu I'm jealous of! I can highly recommend Hopscotch, and often do when chatting to friends and neighbours with kids. Keep up the great work, we appreciate you x

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.

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!

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

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...
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.

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.
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
The baby room at Hopscotch Botley has been absolutely wonderful for our little boy.

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.

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...

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...
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.

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.

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.
