Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started Hopscotch Nursery Sholing on the 30th September and the team have been absolutely amazing. He cannot wait to go to preschool each day and he loves coming home to tell us all about the things he's been doing. His tastes in food have grown and he will often ask for food he's eaten at preschool
for dinner. We cannot thank the team enough for helping him to settle in, ensuring us as parents are happy with everything and for being simply amazing people

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.984) out of 10 for Hopscotch Day Nursery Sholing is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.984 for Hopscotch Day Nursery Sholing is calculated as follows: ( (248 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 252 Ratings = 4.984
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hopscotch Day Nursery Sholing is based on 21 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (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 90 number of registered child places is 18, which has been reached with 21 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.

Dawn Forshaw

Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2025

Hello, my name is Dawn Forshaw, and I am proud to be Nursery Manager at Hopscotch Sholing.
I have worked in Early Years for over 25 years and have spent the last 16 years as a Nursery Manager.
I have my BTEC National Diploma in Childhood Studies, a Level 3 in Management, and a Foundation degree and BA (Hons) in Early Years.
I am passionate about giving children the best start in life. I wholeheartedly believe that our formative years set the path for our future lives. If children are offered an exciting, stimulating, and challenging environment to grow in, they will undoubtedly grow into respectful, resilient, ambitious members of society!
I believe in the old adage “it takes a village to raise a child”, and therefore parent partnerships are incredibly important to me. I enjoy working alongside our parents, welcoming them into the setting to experience nursery life alongside their children.
I am immensely proud to work alongside the team at Sholing; an incredibly passionate team, who always put the children at the heart of their practice!
