All the staff that work at the nursery are not only caring towards the children in their care but also to the families of those children too. The whole nursery has such a family atmosphere and my little girl absolutely adores going there every day. She has been to other nurseries before we found Hopscotch
and she wasn't half as happy. It is all down to the staff. Thank you Hopscotch!!!

I would highly recommend this nursery to other parents. Both my children have absolutely loved their time with Hopscotch and I have always had peace of mind knowing they are getting so well cared for. The staff are all lovely and do a fantastic job.

I am so pleased that I chose to send my son to this nursery, he has been in the under 2's room for 8 months now since starting when he turned 1 year old and he has settled in so well and loves his days at nursery. The staff keep parents well informed of what children have been doing each day and the
range of activities and meals provided is fantastic. Children have lots of time outside, which was something that was important to me for my son. One of my biggest concerns when he first started was napping, but staff worked with me to find the best solution for him and he now naps brilliantly when he is at nursery. The car park can be a bit busy at pickup/dropoff times as it is small, but this seems to be a common issue for nurseries and is a minor issue when everything else is so good.

Thank you so much for the amazing review. The car park can be very busy at certain times of the day and we encourage parents to utilise the space we have.

We have always found Hopscotch to be amazing with our little girl and had no hesitation in signing our second child to this nursery too.


We receive regular communication from the manager and have had extra assistance from the nursery staff with regards to the transition of welcoming second baby,

encouraging feeding and good behaviour at home.


I would certainly recommend the nursery to new parents.

Hopscotch Day Nursery Titchfield is an amazing nursery. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. They keep the parents really well informed on everything to with the children, staff and nursery changes. They all seem to know their stuff and are very committed to making the environment a fun and happy
one with every opportunity to learn and develop. My little boy has settled in really well and you can see how much the staff care for each and every child in their care. As a 1st-time mum, everything and anything can be worrying but they have all been very supportive and helpful and made both his and my transition into nursery a very easy one. All in all, I couldn't be happier with our decision on the nursery and would happily recommend them to everyone!

My 13 month old daughter started at Hopscotch Day Nursery Titchfield only a few weeks ago but since being here she has developed so many skills. The staff in the baby room are all so friendly as are the management staff and I feel confident my daughter is being well cared for by them. She thoroughly
enjoys it here.

Just have so much confidence in this nursery. They have made the whole process of leaving my children much easier. My children have developed wonderfully and learn such diverse subjects. So pleased we chose this setting.

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.

Anna Dempsey

Job Title: Nursery Manager

Joined: 2011

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.
