My daughter is so well looked after by all the staff, she is happy attending and is continuing to flourish. She has gained confidence and independence since starting. She loves the food and playing in the garden the most and absolutely adores the staff.

We love Hopscotch Titchfield! Our son enjoys his time at nursery so much. The staff are fantastic and have taken the time to really get to know him and his interests and tailor activities accordingly. When I tell him it's time to go to nursery he happily gets his shoes on and he always has a smile on
his face when I pick him up. The activities they do are both fun and aid his development and I am often jealous of the lovely food he eats. I know he is well taken care of and also has lots of fun while he is there.

It's hard to single out one occasion where we are so happy with the care of our son. I would like to highlight a particular member of staff in the preschool room, she's very personable and our son is very comfortable around her. She is usually the one to greet us when dropping off and picking up, also
the manager always makes an effort to say hello and you can tell she knows each child individually. I don't worry about our son being under their care and I totally trust them. Our son has developed so much and I'd like to say a lot of it is down to the team at Titchfield.

Both my children started here in September last year when we moved to the area. They both love coming and the staff are so friendly and supportive. We don’t have family close by so we really rely on the nursery to be our support system and they are always so helpful with any advice we need. The food
is great and there is so much variety, I’m certain that’s why my youngest is such a good eater. We’re so glad we found a nursery that we trust completely with our children.
The communication between the staff and parents is very good and we get lots of updates on what the children have been up to. Any messages that are sent in the app are always replied to quickly and efficiently.

As my daughter’s time at Titchfield Hopscotch is coming to an end I wanted to share what a positive experience she has had. The staff are incredible and go above and beyond for the children. The activities are varied and my daughter has thrived, she is more than ready for school and has made genuine
friendships with her peers. I cannot rate the setting highly enough and as a family, we will be sad to see her leave.

My son attends the under 2's and they are all so lovely and friendly. He is always so happy when I pick him up and when I drop him off too. His meals for the day are great and fills him up. He has progressed so much in the 3 months he has been there and learnt lots from the people and children there.
I feel very comfortable leaving him there for the day knowing he will be very happy.

My daughter loves coming to the nursery. She joined when she was 6 months old and is now almost 2.
The whole team are fantastic, her development has come on leaps and bounds, she has a different adventure each day, from playing outside, to messy play. Cooking and much more.
For me, this is a home-from-home
for her and couldn’t recommend Titchfield Nursery more highly.

Hopscotch Titchfield are amazing. Both my children have been lucky enough to attend this nursery, one now at school and the other in the preschool room. The staff go above and beyond with activities for the children. The outdoor space is great and a safe space to play. The menu has lots of variety.
It's such a welcoming setting too, always greeted by someone and any questions answered. I will be sad when we no longer attend as it's been such a huge part of my children's life and development. Would highly recommend this setting to anyone.

I’ve been so impressed with the whole team in every room at Titchfield. The care and genuine interest and support they’ve shown my little boy are so appreciated. I never have issues getting him to attend and he regularly asks if the room leader can come babysit! I get regular updates online to show
me what he has been up to and activities are so varied and he just has such fun, feels safe and secure and has really connected with the team. It helps ease the mum's guilt for sure as he attends multiple days! The team always gave him such a warm welcome and made the time to chat to me about his day during the handover at the end of the day. The management team are always visible and approachable and have a good understanding of what’s happening within the setting. I can highly recommend it.

We changed nurseries and all the staff have reassured my faith in early years education.
From dealing with the member of staff in admin making the process smooth, another member of staff has been amazing and made my child feel very settled very quick.
Knowing one member of staff in particular is the
manager is very reassuring as I have found her very approachable.
Chefs and food are very high standard.
My daughter's comments on new nursery is she likes going and has so much fun.

We have been so pleased with our experience at Hopscotch Titchfield and couldn’t be happier with our choice of nursery for our son.
The staff there are incredibly kind, caring and competent and we know our son is safe and happy in their care. Through end-of-day handovers and the online app, we know
how he has been each day and are kept well-informed about his well-being. It’s always so lovely to hear how his day has been!
Our son clearly has lots of fun there and takes part in well-planned, creative and fun activities every day. We always love seeing the artwork he comes home with!
He settled well into the routine there and has always slept well and enjoyed his food and snacks.
Overall we’re thrilled with our nursery experience so far, so much so that we’ve already signed our next child up to start next year!

My son has been at Hopscotch since he was 13 months old, he is now almost 3 and half and is thriving in pre-school. The staff have always gone above and beyond with both the care of him and then the reassurance of myself (a very anxious mummy leaving her precious boy).
He absolutely loves coming home
and telling us all about his day, the games he’s played, the pictures he’s painted, the friends he’s made, and the list goes on!
We will be forever grateful we chose hopscotch as the nursery for our boy to be at.

My eldest daughter attended Hopscotch and loved it, she is now at school with a lot of the good friends she made here. My youngest daughter now also loves it at Hopscotch, the staff are caring, and friendly and really make it fun for her. The food is fantastic, a good variety and her allergies are well-managed
here. I like the pictures and updates I get on how she's doing throughout the day when she is there, and we also have the opportunity to meet the staff at open days and parents' evenings. The staff work hard to provide varied activities and we enjoy bringing home lots of artwork!

My son attended babies, where I felt he was safe, well cared for and developing well. He is now in pre-school, the communication is poor, I am concerned regarding the quality of learning and care. Staff turnover is frequent. They have recently raised their prices to be in line with their competitors.
However, their competitors have better facilities and therefore I struggle to understand their reasoning. I feel the manager is enthusiastic and knowledgeable but this no longer cascades to the staff.

My daughter started going here when she was one year old. She has loved every minute of it and she is now four years old. Great staff and a wonderful atmosphere for a child to grow and develop. She has made so many friends here, learnt so much and has lots of fun. Amazing food, I look at the menu and
it blows me away with the variety and thought that my daughter gets to eat when she is there. She has learnt her letters, shapes, alphabet, writing her name the list goes on. Great in supporting your child through their emotions and a very loving and fun place for those first important early years.
Amazing nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.829)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.829) out of 10 for Hopscotch Day Nursery Titchfield is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.829 for Hopscotch Day Nursery Titchfield is calculated as follows: ( (216 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 240 Ratings = 4.829

  • 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 Titchfield is based on 19 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 75 number of registered child places is 15, which has been reached with 19 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
