Welcome to Hopscotch Day Nursery Gosport.

Opened in 2005 the Nursery is located in two beautiful grade II listed buildings and is ideally positioned to access either public transport and the ferry or the main routes out to Fareham.

Gosport has large spacious rooms with direct access to outdoor play areas.

The main nursery building accommodates children across two rooms - toddlers and preschool, and the second separate building houses the under two's age group.

The best way to get to know the nursery is to visit and look at what they can offer families where parents can meet and talk to a dedicated childcare team who are proud to meet the needs of each individual child cared for whilst providing the very highest standard of early years care and education.

My son was at Hopscotch for 2 and a half years. Throughout he has been well supported and had excellent key workers who diligently supported his development. In the past 2 months, Hopscotch has excelled at supporting my son with understanding his move to a foreign country and the gift of a bear with
his own suitcase and passport to help with the transition, has gone above any expectations I had. My son will be able to send back photos of the bear to keep in touch with all of his Hopscotch friends, thank you!

Reply from Michelle Macey, Nursery Manager at Hopscotch Day Nursery Gosport

Thank you so much for your review, it has been absolutely wonderful having your son with us here at Gosport Hopscotch. We were so sad to see him go, and hope you have a wonderful new beginning. He has loved the preschool room having such strong bonds with the staff, he always loved spending time in the garden, around the tree house, building with the big blocks from his imagination and dancing to our boogie mites. Thank you again for your review. We wish you all the best.

The nursery is well organised. They are good at keeping you updated with the activities via the app. Although sometimes this can be late, and at times with not much notice for upcoming events. Daily diaries are updated promptly. Activities are tailored to meet the children's development needs. Their
personal development goals/next steps are continuously reviewed and updated with key worker, staff and family to ensure they are meeting their milestones. Time is spent outside in all weather, with appropriate clothing requested as the weather changes. Meals are well balanced, there is variety and plenty if the children require larger portions. Dietary needs, religious requirements and special occasion menu options are available.

Thank you so much, I very much appreciate the time you have taken to do this review. It is wonderful to have your amazing little girl with us, she is an absolute pleasure to have with us. She is such an inquisitive little girl, who loves the singing sessions, loving a story as often as possible, as well as being outside and enjoying all the messy play activities daily. If there is anything ever we can help with please do let us know.

Fantastic facilities and friendly, caring staff. Shown great flexibility for us recently and would recommend to any parents looking for a nursery/preschool.
Our son attended nursery and is now in preschool. Can speak for both departments when I say they are both great.

Thank you so much for your review of the nursery, we very much appreciate the time you have taken to leave such a lovely review. Your son is a delight to have in our preschool room and has settled in so well after his transition from toddlers. He loves to spend time in the mud kitchen especially recently with the new addition of the handing cooking pot to make creations with. If there is anything we can do to help please do let us know.

For the last 4 months, there has been a massive unsettling with inconsistency within staff and management. No support from a key worker, should have been with the child and a constant throughout their time at the setting.
Overall I wouldn't send my youngest there. I'll be looking elsewhere when they're
old enough to go.

Reply from Michelle Macey, Nursery Manager at Hopscotch Day Nursery Gosport

Hi, thank you for your review. I appreciate your comments and your thoughts over the last while before your son left for school. I am so sorry you felt you have had this experience. This is absolutely not what we strive for here. Please, please do contact me and we can discuss this as it is very important to me to get this right. I very much hope to hear from you very soon. I do hope he is doing well in school and showing them all he is made of.

My son started in the under 2 room in 2020 and has just finished Pre School to go in to school, I cannot recommend this nursery enough, the staff are just amazing, so attentive to every single child, you can tell everyone who works there takes pride and passion in their work. He had a problem with toilet
training and was diagnosed with a speech disorder, everyone in Hopscotch Day Nursery were supportive, the communication was fantastic and we were all on the same page in regards to getting him to the level he needed to be, his confidence has grown so much over this last year. He was more then ready going into to school today full of confidence and that isn't just down to us as parents but the wonderful team at Hopscotch. He was always happy when we came to collect him and the staff are so informative at the handovers ensuring that you know what you child has been up to and was always excited to go back there the next day, you couldn't leave your child in safer hands.
Thank you Hopscotch Gosport

Thank you so much for such a lovely review of Hopscotch Gosport. It has been an absolute please to see your son flourish, with us! I am sure he will be a star of his school, it was lovely to see him in his uniform last week. I know he adored our large garden and the bikes, building with our large blocks and the messy play were the best! We wish you all the very best, we are always here if you need us!

The ladies are so friendly and invite you in warmly, they are keen to give you details about her day. Everyone I have dealt with has been so lovely. Thank you

Thank you so much for your review, it has been an absolute delight to have your lovely granddaughter with us, in the preschool room before going to school. She is an amazing little girl and is just going to blossom in her school in September. I know she loved playing in our tree house in the large garden and doing lovely role-plays both inside and outside. She is such an arty child, we are sorry she missed our graduation, however, I hope she liked her Hoppsie bunny as a keepsake from us to her. Thank you again for your review.

My son absolutely loves it there. He's thriving, coming home with something new he's learnt nearly every day. Staff are absolutely amazing and encouraging, everyone is so friendly and we are always kept informed on the app about what he's eaten, right down to nappy changes. The manager is lovely and
seems to know every child by name and her passion for working with little people is clearly translated down to the team.
I really cannot recommend the place enough, just based on how happy and smiley my son runs in the morning.

I cannot speak highly enough about the wonderful experience my child has had at this nursery. The staff are not only incredibly friendly but also highly skilled and attentive, creating a nurturing environment where children thrive. The indoor space is well-designed, offering ample room for exploration
and learning, while the outdoor area is a true delight, with playful features that encourage physical activity and imaginative play. I am consistently impressed by the dedication of the staff and the quality of care provided here. It's truly a gem of a nursery!

It took my little boy a while to settle here, but the staff have all been fantastic with him, and his confidence has grown tremendously since he started.
Communication was sometimes a bit lacking when he started last year, but the app is now always updated with details of nappy changes, what he's
eaten and when he's slept by the time we pick him up at the end of the day. We also get regular photo and video updates of him enjoying himself throughout the day.
The team organised a wide variety of activities for the kids to enjoy, including lots of messy play, which he would never get the opportunity to try at home. It's also been great to see him enjoying the lovely new outdoor space lots this summer.
We've not experienced any issues, but if we had, I'm confident they would have been dealt with appropriately by the management team.
The staff are all really warm and friendly, and all seem to really, really love working with kids, which has been the most important thing for us.

Thank you very much for your review of Gosport Hopscotch. We really appreciate your comments, and I am glad your experience with us has improved. We have absolutely loved having your little boy with us in the under-twos room - he has a wonderful character and loves to have increasing conversations and comments with us during his nursery day. He loves the sensory room and delights in our bubble tube.
Thank you so much again; best wishes to you all.

My daughter was enrolled in January this year at 8 months old. I was apprehensive initially, which was soon reassured once she settled within the week and was excited to arrive at nursery in the mornings.
Great communication from the nursery throughout the day via the app alongside a comprehensive
handover each evening.
Staff in the under 2's room appear to have great knowledge and understanding of my child's needs and personality. Always very welcoming and happy to help. I mentioned a concern I had with my child's development which her keyworker agreed they would focus on, within a few weeks she excelled in this area and any concerns were quickly resolved.
The management team are visible and active, they also appear to have a great understanding of the children's personalities and my child is elated when she sees them. This evidences leadership within the nursery.
Overall appears to be a great nursery and I'm very happy with my child's placement.

Reply from Michelle Macey, Nursery Manager at Hopscotch Day Nursery Gosport

Thank you so much for your review, we are absolutely ecstatic that you feel this way about the nursery. We are delighted to have your daughter with us, she is a lovely active girl who enjoys all areas of the under twos room, loving at the moment the baby dolls and playing in the garden and our singing bag. I have passed your lovely comments on to the team. If there is anything we can do to help, please let us know.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

Our son now 22 months has been at Hopscotch since he was 8 months old. We have been really happy with all the care provided by the team in the under twos room. As a young starter, our son was given lots of attention when he was still a baby including making time for him to have cuddle naps when he refused
to nap in the sleep room! Growing up, the team obviously had a real impact on his development of communication and confidence, in particular his love of music, doing the moves for nursery rhymes, Makaton for please and thank you, and words for his favourite animals and vehicles. He also has strong bonds with the team who are able to coax him inside to play when he just wants one more cuddle at drop-off.
In terms of minor improvements, there could be better communication between management and staff about admin things (although I think this is better after recent changes), and from staff to us about developmental achievements and targets.

Reply from Michelle Macey, Nursery Manager at Hopscotch Day Nursery Gosport

Thank you so much for your review of Hopscotch Gosport. I really appreciate your kind comments on our under two's room. The team there love supporting all the children to grow and develop. The team have loved spending time with your son, really celebrating his love of all things moving within the room, especially his love of tractors! We are always grateful for any and all constructive comments and aim to strive forward, thank you for your comments on our communication, we will make this better.

My little boy started in May and from his settle sessions I didn’t think we’d get to this point - going in to Babies without his dummy, giving smiles to all the ladies, exploring the room happily and so happy on pick ups! He still has his wobbles but he is settled and happy - that’s a massive thank
you to the ladies for building such lovely bonds, having the patience and really getting to know the child’s likes and dislikes in such a short space of time!
Meanwhile, my eldest moved up to preschool in June - he’s settling well but needing that little bit of extra support to settle to the new environment and the team are being really understanding and patient! I’m receiving thorough handovers and helpful tips to try at home too! Thank you!
(Toddlers also have been an amazing team and group for my eldest before his move up! He built some special bonds with the lovely team and was always happy on pick ups - without fail!)
I’m so glad I chose Hopscotch Day Nursery for both my boys.

Reply from Sally Rutledge, Marketing at Hopscotch Day Nursery Gosport

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such an amazing review. The Gosport team love looking after both of your boys. Your little man in the baby room has become such a happy chappy and loves exploring. Since transferring from toddlers to preschool your son can now be found either in the tree house planning an adventure with his friends or creating a potion in the mud kitchen.

When talking with the staff in the under 2s room, I've found them to be extremely knowledgeable and caring for the children. We did have one issue, however this was promptly addressed and resolved to a high level. With everyone happier at the end. The space provided and the amount of equipment for the
children is fantastic and amazing. With lots of outdoor play being facilitated.
All in all, the under 2s room is fantastic as is the rest of the nursery and I would happily put another child of mine in there for the educational, development and nurturing support they provide both the children and the parents!!! Thank you all of the Hopscotch Staff!

My Son has attended Hopscotch Gosport since November 2021 and still to this day (June 2023!) I don’t have a bad word to say about the nursery. The whole team have been fab, I’m very particular about who I leave my Son with, yet almost right away when he was in the babies room I felt completely at ease.
My son loves all the lovely staff who look after him and it’s clear to tell the staff really care about him too, including management who have been working with me and my son recently following a bout of poor health. Everything is communicated from his sleep, activities, emotions, to what he’s eaten that day. The staff here are all worth their weight in gold. I couldn’t imagine sending him anywhere else, they have my complete trust. Best nursery around!

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.633)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.633) out of 10 for Hopscotch Day Nursery Gosport is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.633 for Hopscotch Day Nursery Gosport is calculated as follows: ( (195 Excellents x 5) + (54 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (4 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 264 Ratings = 4.633

  • b) 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 Gosport 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:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 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.

Michelle Macey

Job Title: Nursery Manager

Joined: 2007

Hi, I am Michelle Macey, the Manager of Hopscotch, Gosport. I've been with Hopscotch since 2022 when I joined the Fareham Nursery as Deputy Manager to cover Maternity leave.


I am committed to supporting my team in providing outstanding care to your children, and their own professional development through in-house training or formal studies.


With an established, caring and committed team, I enjoy my job every single day. I get to see babies take their first steps through to tearful goodbyes to our children joining the school, knowing that we have supported each individual child in developing to their full potential.


Hopscotch Gosport was our very first nursery, and it's the one that is close to all of our hearts. The building is a historic Naval guards house that Freya converted in 2005, and we've maintained a deep connection to many Navy families in the area over the years. With a child-centred and spacious layout, we can ensure that children enjoy and achieve in all areas of learning. Our outdoor environments are welcoming and engaging and offer ample opportunities for children to express their independence and creative skills.


The layout of the nursery allows for total free flow from indoor to outdoor areas with each of our playrooms having direct access to the outdoor environment. This allows our dedicated childcare team to follow and enhance children’s interests and, in turn, means that children are engaged in their play and learning.


My team and I are here to support you and your family every step of the way from the first settling-in sessions, weaning, potty training and on to school. As a mother, I know first-hand how important it is to be supported through the early years journey our children take.


We hope you would like to come to visit Hopscotch Gosport where we can show you our nursery and introduce you to our team.
