Our son has been at Hopscotch Titchfield from ages 1-4 and has received excellent care, attention and development. The staff are incredibly friendly and professional and he is made to feel like one of the family. Communication with us has been great and flexible contract hours have been a real benefit.
I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Both of my children attended this nursery from ten months and I was so happy with the care provided. All the staff were attentive and took the time to listen to mine and my children's needs which they responded to. Key workers took the time to understand my children's interests and feedback to me on
progress. I was so sad when they left but equally very happy they were able to experience such a lovely setting.

Hopscotch Day Nursery Titchfield is a wonderful preschool. Both my son and I love it and we have been really happy with everything here! I am a childminder myself and can see that the staff value every relationship with the children they care for, as I do on a 1-2-1 basis. Thanks Hopscotch for seeing
my son through until he goes to school in September 2022!

An absolutely fabulous nursery and a great choice for our girls! The setting itself is always well maintained, the rooms are clean and there is plenty of outdoor space for the children to enjoy. The staff have always provided an excellent service, they are really approachable and both our girls have
built strong relationships with them. I mostly put this down to just how much the staff members love their roles and certainly put the children first. Both our daughters look forward to nursery, they take part in a wide range of activities, spend time learning new skills and have made lots of friends. We are regularly kept up to date with their progress. We’ll be sad to say goodbye to Hopscotch Day Nursery Titchfield when our daughters head off to school!

My little girl loves coming to nursery, she’s very excited in the morning and always asks to go, even when it’s not a nursery day. She does a variety of different activities there and always comes home with art work. She’s always coming home talking about the staff and telling me they are her best friends.

Despite the current lockdown procedures we have been both grateful and impressed with the experience of nursery that my daughter has had. It is clear that staff provide a range of interesting activities for children to do during the day and stimulate their development. The food is varied and we have
been pleased with the range of different food groups/textures she is experiencing.

We love Hopscotch Day Nursery Titchfield because of the care and attention that they give to the children. They are like our extended family. All the staff know all of the children and their parents and they take the time to get to know you. The premises are in a beautiful listed building which has
character but it is clean and bright and offers space whilst being cosy. My children love the food and eat things at nursery that they would never try at home. They love the time they spend at nursery and always come home singing new songs that they have learnt and with handfuls of art and craft.

Hopscotch is like a home from home, which is exactly what we were looking for. When we were shown around, I knew straight away that this was the nursery for our daughter. The lovely ‘ladies’ provide such excellent care and I trust them completely. My daughter is now four and has been there since she
was nine months old. They have played such a big part in her developing to be a kind, confident and happy little girl. I can’t thank them enough for all they have done. My son has just started there and loves it too! The staff are friendly, professional and approachable. I couldn’t recommend this lovely nursery more highly.

The staff at Hopscotch have been fantastic at supporting my child settle in a new area and she enjoys going - looks forward to it every day. They have encouraged development in getting her ready for school and in developing her self-confidence and kindness. My child's only wish is to go to more sessions
- a testament to everything the staff at Hopscotch do for her.

Drop off time can be daunting, for both myself and my daughter. It's taken a while for her to go off with no tears. The staff have approached it perfectly. I can see how much my daughter loves the ladies there, she happily goes to them at drop off times. She's very much a 'Mummy's girl' and won't even
willingly go to Daddy! so for her to happily go with the Hopscotch ladies is the highest compliment from my daughter!

Both of my children attend Hopscotch in Titchfield and we are generally delighted with their level of care and general professionalism. Nursery staff are lovely and friendly. The team work hard to optimise the children’s development within the confines of an old building. Feedback is always actioned
and when problems arise, they are dealt with with the utmost of professionalism. Most importantly my children are happy and well cared for there.

We love Hopscotch Titchfield. The staff genuinely love our child and take care of him like we would. They take time to get to know your child and work closely with each other and management to ensure that nursery is an inviting, exciting, safe and happy place to be. The management team always listen
and are always willing to help in any way they can. Our little boy loves nursery and often doesn't want to come home at the end of the day. That has to be a good sign!

I knew Hopscotch was the right place for my daughter from the moment we walked in! We were welcomed by warm friendly staff and it’s been the same ever since and that’s three years ago now. My daughter loves it there, she does fun and educational activities every day and has made such good friends. She
adores her preschool ‘ladies’ who genuinely seem to love their jobs. Nothing is too much trouble and there’s always a willing ear or shoulder should you need it as much as the children! I will be a mess when she leaves as you’re all like family to us. I couldn’t recommend this lovely environment more highly.

My son has been with Hopscotch for 18 months. He has thoroughly enjoyed his 2 days a week.
Having started in toddlers, he made a smooth transition into the Pre School rooms.
The space and variety of things to do is far greater than any other nursery I visited before choosing Hopscotch. I knew from
the second I walked in the door and was met at reception that it was going to be the perfect setting for my son.
The staff have been amazing throughout his time and there are a few he is going to miss greatly when he leaves in a few weeks.
I cannot thank the staff enough for everything they have done.

I could tell straight from the visit to Hopscotch that the staff would be amazing. This was a real tipping point for choosing the nursery. My son did struggle initially to settle at nursery but the whole team did absolutely everything to help him adjust to being there; this included extra settling in
sessions at no extra cost which helped him enormously. Over his time at the nursery, he has developed so many amazing skills and this is thanks to the amazing structure of the nursery day, the skilled nursery staff and the superb range of equipment in the Under 2s room. I love hearing about his day and the staff use Tapestry brilliantly to update me with pictures and videos! Makes it that little bit easier to leave him knowing he is having a wonderful time.

Hopscotch Day Nursery Titchfield has been a fabulous nursery for both my son and now daughter. They have both thrived in the fun-packed, educational environment that the staff create for the children. The staff create such a warm, safe place for the children to explore their characters, their skills,
language and so much more. I love getting the updates both first hand at pickup or via the observations on the Parent Mail/portal. Both my children have loved being here and it has helped to bolster their confidence and helping to prepare them for school. Thank you.

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.
