Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week.

You've selected 30 funded hours.
This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 51 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.4 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

An absolutely amazing nursery and pre-school...I just wish my children didn't have to leave! Everything about it is spot on- the staff, the activities and the opportunities. They set children up perfectly for starting school whilst providing a fun and enriching learning environment...the food is also exceptional. Each of my children had their strengths built upon and needs supported in just the right way. The staff became like an extended family, and I always felt my children were cared for with genuine warmth and affection. As a parent, I felt listened to, reassured and supported by the whole team, with excellent communication throughout. We truly feel we hit the jackpot finding this setting and can't recommend it highly enough! Hopscotch (Fareham) will always hold a very special place in our hearts, and I'm 100% certain (which is very rare for me to say!) that we made the right choice for both our children when we chose to send them here.

Sarah, this is such a truly wonderful review. Thank you so much for taking the time to share it. I can honestly say, on behalf of the whole Fareham team, that we all absolutely loved watching both of your incredible children grow, learn and develop. It has been such a privilege to be part of their journey, and we miss them so much already!

We're so thankful for the continuous planning, dedication, passion, and effort the team at Hopscotch Fareham put in each week to ensure our little girl has a wonderful time at nursery. The weekly round-ups are such a joy to read - they truly reflect the love, care, and enthusiasm the staff bring to everything they do. It's clear from both their updates and our daughter's happy expressions that every day is filled with creativity, learning, and fun. We love that she gets to explore the outdoors, learn about the local environment, and celebrate so many festivities in such an engaging way.
Each of the app's posts reminds us that choosing Hopscotch Fareham was absolutely the right decision. The nursery's values align perfectly with what we hoped for in our daughter's early development, and we couldn't be happier with the nurturing environment they provide.

My son started at Hopscotch Fareham in April 2024 in the baby room and has progressed through to Toddlers. The care and education is second to none. As a previous nursery manager elsewhere I can attest to how outstanding the team are. The opportunities provided are just fantastic and each member of the team goes above and beyond. They are wonderful practitioner who take time to build bonds with parents and family members as well as their key children. I cannot recommend this setting highly enough. Our child's key person knows my child so well, she gives advice and support when needed. He has bonded to his key person beautifully! My child has then built bonds with the whole team through the solid foundation he has there.
The management team are constantly striving to improve and add to the setting and their teams knowledge base. They know each child and parent and give such a warm welcome each time we enter the setting!

Leaving your child in the care of someone else is a hard thing to do, especially when you don't know those people. I was nervous when my daughter first went to nursery and even more nervous when she went to Fareham, transferring from a setting where she had settled - I needn't have been! The staff in the under 2's room are amazing, my daughter settled quickly and, thanks to the care, knowledge and dedication of the team has developed into a talkative, confident and social toddler. The app, end of day handovers, phone calls if needed, observations and informal chats with the team allow me to feel safe in the knowledge that my daughter is happy and well looked after when I'm at work. Her development across different areas is mapped and shared at parents evenings. I don't worry about my daughter when she's at nursery, I know she's having a great time, cared for by caring, passionate and knowledgeable women who are lead by an amazing manager.

Can't praise Hopscotch Fareham enough. All the staff are so caring and knowledgeable. The nursery has an excellent child centred approach which is implemented consistently. We have been particularly grateful for the support given to our grandson who has been working to be independent of his nasal feeding tube. The nursery staff have worked really hard to ensure that he eats and drinks sufficient and that this is communicated to us.
This reflects the super communication and feedback at the end of each session and through the Family App. Pictures of our grandson enjoying wonderful varied activities are much appreciated.

Fantastic staff who genuinely care about all those they look after. The layout of the nursery is lovely and it has great transitions between different age rooms, so they are not daunted when it is time to go to a new room with new staff. My daughter has been there for over a year and I couldn't imagine her being anywhere else. We are always given updates of what is going on each day, what she is given to eat (and how much she actually eats!) and photos of things she is up to.
My daughter is absolutely thriving at Hopscotch Nursery in Fareham and enjoys every day she is there.

Our son started at hopscotch at 6 months old! We began with a few hours a week and have built it up to 4 days per week. He is now 17 months old and has loved nursery from the very beginning. His physical and social development came on leaps and bounds ever since. We are updated regularly with pictures of him engaging in lots of fun activities. You can really see how much practitioners support the children in their development as well as meeting their individual needs. We love how transparent they are, and that we are kept in the loop with how he is getting on. The food menus are also great! We would highly recommend hopscotch (fareham)

Hello, my name is Dani Athersmith, and I am the Nursery Manager at Hopscotch Day Nursery Fareham.
I have been working in early years settings since 2011, starting as an apprentice before qualifying and gaining experience in various environments with children of all age groups. I joined the Hopscotch team in October 2018 at our Botley location, where I began as a practitioner in the toddler room before advancing to senior practitioner. In September 2019, I transferred to our lovely new Fareham setting, taking on the role of Room Leader for U2 and becoming the third in charge. In March 2022, I was promoted to Deputy Manager at Fareham.
At Fareham, our team of practitioners is dedicated to creating a stimulating environment where children feel safe and secure, enabling them to learn and develop the skills they need to thrive as they grow. I am particularly passionate about fostering strong partnerships with parents to build trust, ensuring that children feel comfortable and secure while in our care.
We understand how challenging it can be to send your child to nursery, and we strive to offer the best possible care, creating a home-from-home experience that aligns with each child's individual routine.
Hopscotch Fareham boasts a beautifully designed environment and a highly qualified, motivated team of practitioners who are committed to building caring, trusting relationships with children and their families.
Our open-plan rooms and seamless access to outdoor areas provide children with a safe space, ready for learning through the play opportunities our team thoughtfully creates.
We are dedicated to delivering the highest quality childcare, always prioritising children’s well-being in everything we do. We feel honoured to help our children flourish, becoming independent and resilient learners who are well-prepared for school.
We invite you to visit our beautiful nursery, meet our committed team, and ask any questions you might have. We understand how daunting it can be to choose childcare for your little ones, and we recognise our vital role in supporting both you and your children.
