I love Hopscotch Day Nursery Titchfield and everything they do for my son (and my daughter before she went to school). My son started when he was 9 months old and has another year and a half in pre school. He loves going in, loves the ‘grown ups’ in the setting, loves his friends, and loves the activities.
He runs straight in when we get out of the car, collects his name, votes for the activity and goes into the room. He’s happy, has lots of friends, and loves the variety of activities on offer from parents reading books, giant snails visiting, sports, creating and making things, and eating together. The staff are ace; helpful, kind, and caring. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

We can only say great things about Hopscotch Day Nursery Titchfield, our experience has been brilliant. The staff are supportive, friendly and caring. Our daughter is always happy after a day at Nursery. We would recommend the Nursery to anyone. The development we have seen in our daughter has been
huge. When she leaves we will be really sad but know she will have had the best couple of years there.

My almost 15 month old daughter has been attending the nursery since she was 8 months old. She adores going here, and is always excited to get out the car when we pull into the car park. She goes in to the nursery happy and comes out happy too.
The staff are brilliant and they do lots of activities
with the babies. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. They have always cared for my daughter in a way that compliments what I do at home.
The baby room is open plan and there are lots of areas for the babies to explore. There are lovely outdoor spaces too.
I highly recommend this nursery.

Both my son and daughter attend this nursery and they have both thrived since attending. My son has developed so much and comes home every day telling me what he has learnt. My daughter has had some allergies, and they have been nothing but helpful in helping us manage this, as well as helping her settle
which was harder than our son due to being born in lockdown.
I would recommend this nursery to anyone!

Hopscotch Titchfield has been amazing for my two children. They support them brilliantly, really thinking about their individual needs. The staff get to know the children well and are always aware of how to help. They teach them important skills, play with them, plan fun activities for them and keep
parents well informed. They give parents good information on children's days and are always there for questions or help. So pleased I sent my children there!

Having had our eldest go all the way through the Hopscotch Titchfield pathway and now with our youngest halfway through and another on the way, one thing which I think highlights how great they are is the consistency of quality, where every single day has been a highlight for our little guys.
Consistency
throughout the organisation is brilliant, from great information and regular updates during the pandemic from the leadership team to prompt responses from the finance team (it does really help!) To the great teams within each of the rooms who genuinely care and enjoy the time of our little ones.
With our 3rd on the way, we can't wait to see the fun they have through their Hopscotch Titchfield Journey.

All the team have looked after my daughter brilliantly for the last two years. Every transition from room to room has been managed thoughtfully always putting my daughters needs first. The team provide an excellent level of care and we feel our daughter is developing so well thanks to their attentiveness

We have been impressed with the number of purposeful observations captured in our son’s first term. This gives us a snapshot of what he gets up to each day. It has been rewarding to see how settled, happy and excited he is to attend the nursery. We cannot fault the staff for settling him in so quickly!

We visited many nurseries before applying for a place and chose Hopscotch Day Nursery Titchfield because it had such a special feel to it. Very caring staff and good variety of activities with well-supported learning.
Both of our girls loved their time at Hopscotch and I feel that the nursery supported
them beautifully in their early development.
Their key workers and the management were especially invested.
A lovely setting.

My child enjoys nursery and has made some good relationships with the adults that work there. He can be a little upset in the mornings due to separation anxiety, but the staff are very caring and nurturing to encourage him into the setting. It is lovely to see what he gets up to at nursery via the app,
and very handy to see what he has eaten during the day and how long he has napped. It is clear to see he is learning lots at nursery, and it has been lovely to see him grow in confidence socially.

His confidence is growing and he is doing really well. The staff at Hopscotch Titchfield are always so friendly and available for a chat,
they know my son really well and give him extra support on days he needs it. My son has additional speech and communication needs and Hopscotch have ensured these are met well and communicate excellently with other professionals when needed. They go above and beyond, thank you Hopscotch Titchfield!

Hopscotch Titchfield is such a great nursery - I chose it because it was close to home and have since realised people put their children on waiting lists way in advance to ensure a space here. It’s only since learning about other nursery experiences that I’ve appreciated just how lovely it is - the
staff seem to genuinely love their jobs and the children. They’re never irritated when you raise a concern. They care about the children’s families, are genuinely interested and enthusiastic about their lives and relationships outside and are diligent in their wider responsibilities to education/learning/play/school preparation/covid/the environment/health. They are always communicating their intentions and learning ideas to keep parents involved. All the staff across the building seem to know all the children’s names regardless of what room they’re in and it makes it feel like you’re leaving your children in the care of a really close knit family. In short - thank you!

We’ve had three experiences with different nurseries for our children and Hopscotch Day Nursery Titchfield is by far the best in every aspect. The staff are so kind, caring and listen and help with any concerns you have. The facilities and setting are excellent. The activities the children do are not

The care our son has received from Hopscotch Day Nursery Titchfield has been second-to-none. The staff treat the children as if they are their own. The key workers take time to nurture the children and post photos and updates on tapestry along the way. We are so happy with how our little boy has been

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.

Hi, I am Anna Dempsey, I have been with Hopscotch since 2011 when I joined our Titchfield nursery as a newly-qualified Nursery Nurse in the Under Twos. Since then I have progressed up to Deputy Manager and am now covering Katie Streets' maternity leave.


As a mother to a 3-year-old little girl, I understand the importance of early years care and education. I am passionate about children being given the highest possible care which is why my little girl is at our Fareham nursery; I chose the best for her and I want to provide the best for you and your family.


I am passionate about my job, our nursery and developing the children that are in our care. Ensuring that all children are provided with opportunities to learn, develop and flourish throughout their time at Hopscotch is a privilege. 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.

The team at Titchfield are fantastic, all highly committed to the children they care for. They are passionate practitioners who I enjoy supporting on a daily basis. Maddie Day, our Deputy Manager, has been with us since 2013 and we are lucky to have her as part of our team.


Situated between Southampton and Portsmouth and with easy access to the M27 it is ideally suited to parents living in Locks Heath, Park Gate, Stubbington, Titchfield and surrounding areas. We offer a rich environment with age-appropriate resources which are accessible in a continuous provision style, and our nursery is in a beautiful location - a Grade Two Listed building full of character and personality. In a built up, residential area, the nursery offers a countryside setting the children can enjoy.


We are proud of our nursery, and I look forward to showing you around and introducing you to the team.
