Hopscotch Day Nursery Eastleigh

The staff at Hopscotch Day Nursery are passionate about their work and strive to find ways to continually improve the environment for the children. I know this even extends to perusing shops on weekends in their own time to find toys and educational items for the nursery. We’re very happy with the setting and staff!

Hopscotch Day Nursery in Eastleigh is fantastic. We are continually impressed with the level of care and attention staff have given our daughter since she started. We really feel like they know her, all her likes and dislikes and all her quirks. Watching our daughter at a recent open day, it was clear she really enjoys her time at nursery and feels at home there. I love the fact that they make the most of the outside space, even with the under-2s, and it was lovely when they took some of the babies to rhyme time at the local library. They take safety and safeguarding incredibly seriously and we could not be happier leaving our daughter in their care.

Overall the staff are friendly and basic safety standards are met. My daughter loves it at this nursery and I feel comfortable that she is in safe hands. Facilities are great and nursery is clean and new looking. Nursery is understaffed however and this has effected the amount of activities/outings. They have recently started taking the babies out to the library however and seem to take on board feedback.

Eastleigh hopscotch is a very good nursery. They let the parents know what happens day to day with the child and what they have been up to that day. Also, they let the parents know if there are any concerns with the child and what the nursery and the parents can do about it like if the parents need to get hold of the Health Visit staff or the doctor. They do home-cooked food which is fresh, and if there is anything they need for the child at nursery, they tell the parents what they need to bring in when the child is in the nursery next.

The staff are always welcoming, attentive and professional. A clear indication is the mood and behaviour of the kids. I can't speak for other children but my son always enjoys his days. Thank you everyone for your hard work and care. I know he's in safe hands.

So kind, caring and they pick up on the details. They have a homely feel but are passionate about target setting and development. Honestly can’t fault them. A genuine, inclusive and well-trained group of staff.

I'd happily recommend the nursery to anyone, especially those parents who have children with dietary or health needs.

Very friendly and helpful staff; they are great with my daughter, and she always comes out happy. They upload plenty to the online journal to keep me updated with what she's doing and very thorough with the care diary reports. Overall, a great nursery.

My son is loving his time at the nursery learning new skills and loves the playing out in the garden and doing all the painting and making things.

Having done a lot of research and visited several nurseries, we decided that Hopscotch Eastleigh was the one for our daughter. Upon visiting, the staff were welcoming, friendly and very informative and interacted with our daughter. The rooms are large, spacious and very light. The outdoor roof top garden is a brilliant addition to allow the children to bring the outside in. Since starting last year, our daughter has been happy and grown in confidence, her vocabulary at only 18 months is vast. My daughter had an intolerance to dairy which meant she started on a dairy free diet, which was nutritious and near enough the same menu as the other children. Thank you Hopscotch for making the process seamless and giving our daughter the opportunity to thrive in such a lovely, interactive and friendly environment.

Thank you for being so kind and caring and making an anxious mum feel loads better!

I really love the consistent communication and the whole package has really lived up to expectation. I’m really so happy that we found this gem of a nursery; my daughter will also be attending when she is a little older. I cannot fault them.

But with time, am getting less worried and thanks to the staff, they seem to be very understanding.

My daughter comes home everyday telling me about all the activities she has been doing. She is always happy to go to nursery and sometimes does not want to come home. All the staff are very informative about her day at nursery and if I need to talk to anyone about my daughters care I am able to.

The staff at Hopscotch Day Nursery, Eastleigh are always very friendly and informative about my daughter's day. My child is always happy to go to nursery and is happy to speak to all of the staff. Thank you for looking after my baby. There has been a lot of improvements to the setting and I especially love the back garden.

My son started here a month ago just after he turned three. From the first phone call to the show around it’s been brilliant. He’s now been attending for just over a month and he absolutely loves it, he always comes out with a smile on his face.

Lovely staff who are very welcoming, my son loves all the staff. There's so much to do inside and out. My son really enjoys the food that's provided, he comes home and tells me how much of an amazing day he's had after each session. A happy place to be.

I couldn’t thank the staff enough; they are amazing, and my son has come on leaps and bounds since joining last year. He loves all his care people! We can’t wait to continue the journey until our little boy starts school.

My son was moved here in October 2022 due to staffing issues at another nursery. We were nervous to move him, but the team at Eastleigh understood our predicament and helped to organise the changeover, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision. Every single staff member we encounter, from management to my son’s key worker, is passionate, kind, and eager to support any needs my son may have. My son is so excited to go to preschool every day, and it’s lovely to see how much his development has improved since moving here. The nursery has been recently renovated, so it’s really modern and has excellent facilities on offer. Overall, I really recommend Hopscotch Eastleigh - thank you to the team!

My child’s development was mainly due to the nursery. He was not talking much when he joined the nursery. But the amazing efforts from the nursery staff, I can see that on my child now. The staff are very friendly and supportive.
