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.

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

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
to the building. All in all I would really recommend Hopscotch Botley

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!

My son is in Waddlers currently. The care and attention is second to none. He is so happy to run into nursery each morning he's there, no tears just big smiles. I'm excited for him to continue to grow with Hopscotch. Huge thanks!
26 March 2026
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.
26 March 2026
Lovely setting, all staff friendly and approachable. When my little girl first started, they made the experience relaxing, with updates on how she was settling and never getting annoyed with all my phone calls checking up on her. She is happy going to Hopscotch, and so are we. Thank you Hopscotch
Botley, and all the amazing ladies on babies.

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.

My son Oliver has been attending Hopscotch Botley for over a year now. Both myself and my wife are extremely happy with the nursery. Everyone from the lovely ladies on the front desk to all the staff working with the children have been amazing! Helpful, kind and so thoughtful with the children. The
dinner ladies should get a mention too - the menu is amazing! Highly recommend Hopscotch and will enjoy watching Oliver develop even further there.

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.
19 May 2025
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.

Absolutely lovely staff couldn't recommend enough always friendly and give feedback at the end of the day
Lots out outside playing space my little girl loves it here.
Definitely the best nursery we have tried
17 April 2025
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!
17 April 2025
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.
17 April 2025
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!
17 April 2025
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.
