Our daughter joined Hopscotch at 6 months old and has thoroughly loved her time there. The staff are friendly, helpful and have tended to and supported our daughter’s extra care needs throughout her time there as needed. We couldn’t speak highly enough of Hopscotch and would recommend them without hesitation.

We are so happy with Hopscotch, our son has been there since he was 7 months old and has grown lovely relationships with the team. We could not be happier, he has thrived in this environment and learnt important skills and loves the other children in his group.

Hopscotch is an outstanding nursery where the staff are attentive to my children's needs and keep us informed as to how they are getting on throughout the day. My children have both thrived at Hopscotch and we will be very sad to leave in September!

My daughter joined Hopscotch West Hove in March 2024, and she absolutely loves it. There are always so many fun activities planned throughout the day, the soft playroom is incredible, and the staff and friendly and helpful. The hot meals available from Little Tums are a huge bonus too - my daughter
loves them, and it’s great to know she’s had a nutritious, hot meal while she’s at nursery.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.755)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.755) out of 10 for Hopscotch Children's Nurseries - West Hove is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 out of 5 from 5 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 4.983 for Hopscotch Children's Nurseries - West Hove is calculated as follows: ( (59 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.983

  • 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 3.772 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hopscotch Children's Nurseries - West Hove is based on 5 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 = 3.5

    • 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 92 number of registered child places is 18.4. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 18.4 = 0.272

  • 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.
