Such an amazing nursery! Both of our children attend and we are so happy with everything. The staff are so professional, friendly, kind and always willing to go above and beyond. Our daughter will miss everyone when she goes to school this year. Thanks for giving them the best start to their education!

The Seven Dials branch of Hopscotch Children's Nursery is an absolute delight! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warmth and enthusiasm from the exceptional staff. Their dedication to providing a nurturing and enriching environment for children is evident in every aspect of the nursery.
The educational program is fantastic, tailored to each child's needs and interests, fostering a love for learning from an early age. The facilities are outstanding, with spacious and bright classrooms, as well as a wonderful outdoor area for play and exploration. What truly sets Hopscotch Seven Dials apart is the sense of community it fosters. It's more than just a nursery; it's a second home where children feel safe, valued, and supported. Communication with parents is excellent, keeping us informed and involved every step of the way. I can't recommend Hopscotch Seven Dials highly enough. The Management Team do an incredible job!

Our experience has been exceptional. With our younger son enrolled and older son now in reception, Hopscotch has shaped their early years. From the warm welcome to the genuine care by teachers, it's become a 2nd home. Our older son's smooth transition to reception is a testament to the excellent preparation
received at Hopscotch. We’re particularly impressed by the nursery’s technology for daily feedback through the app, keeping us closely involved in our child’s activities and milestones, fostering a strong sense of partnership between home and nursery. The nurturing environment extends beyond classrooms, fostering community through activities organised throughout the year, which strengthen the bond between parents, teachers, and staff. Our experience with Hopscotch Nursery is overwhelmingly positive. We are grateful for the love, support, and guidance our children receive each day and wholeheartedly recommend Hopscotch to any parent seeking a nurturing and enriching environment in children’s early years.

Our children (2) and (5) both went/go to Hopscotch from one year onwards. Both adapted very quickly to the new routine and enjoy being at Hopscotch. They are/were happy there and trust the staff.
The oldest one is now in primary school and Hopscotch did a fantastic job in preparing him for this big
step.
The daily activities are well-planned and crafted and provide a lot of fun to the children. The staff is extremely professional and caring.
What I appreciate the most as a parent is that working with Hopscotch feels like a partnership with the well-being of the children at its core. The support and reassurance you get from the team whilst navigating the challenges of parenthood are invaluable.
Highly recommended.

Reply from Laura Minter, Marketing and Communications Manager at Hopscotch Children's Nurseries - Seven Dials

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a glowing review. Our team work above and beyond their roles to create a partnership with parents. We are thrilled that your oldest child had a smooth transition to primary school.

I can’t rate Hopscotch highly enough. Both of my daughters have attended and both have enjoyed going in. They do plenty of learning activities and my eldest daughter was more than prepared for school when she started in September.
All the staff I’ve had the pleasures of dealing with have been absolutely
brilliant and they obviously enjoy what they do as staff turnover appears to be very low.

So happy to be sending both our children to Nizells Avenue, Hopscotch Children's Nurseries.
The staff go above and beyond to care, play and educate to get little ones ready for life and school in future.
Really like that there is a preschool incorporated into the nursery so they can spend all their
time at the one place with the same friends and staff through the years they get to know well.
Very professional with updates on the app daily and photos keeping us informed.
We really trust the staff to care for our toddlers. Very quick to reply with any correspondence and queries on email or by phone.
We never have any tears at drop-off and they very much look forward to seeing their friends and playing in the garden.
Would highly recommend, such a lovely place for our children to grow up, have fun and socialise.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a positive reivew. We are so pleased that both your children are thriving and having fun under our care. We appreciate your trust in us and are committed to providing a nurturing environment for your child.

Hopscotch Nursery at Seven Dials is incredible. Because of the dedicated and knowledgeable staff and lovely environment, my son has thrived there. As a non-verbal child with ASC, it has been challenging to navigate his early years. The nursery have supported us every step of the way from diagnosis to
issue of EHCP and celebrated every single step of progress he has made and the wonderful little boy he is every single day.

An incredible nursery with motivated and highly trained staff. The site itself is very clean, tidy and organised enabling the children to focus well, plus wonderful/new equipment for them to use. We are kept very well informed about our child’s progress without being bombarded with information. Communication
about any issues is handled in a sensitive way. The preschool room staff really go above and beyond creating wonderful experiences and memories for the children.

Reply from Laura Minter, Marketing and Communications Manager at Hopscotch Children's Nurseries - Seven Dials

Thank you so much for your lovely comment. It is a pleasure caring for your little one and being able to provide them with experiences and memories. We value all our parent's comments and are happy to hear you think so highly of our nursery provision.

Lovely local nursery - it is clear the staff really care about the character development of all the little ones. The staff are great at communicating and always make you feel welcome. We have a 3-year-old who attends and thoroughly enjoys their days at nursery.

My child has attended Hopscotch Nizells Avenue since he was one. Throughout this time he has been supported and cared for fully. Each of his key workers has been adept at meeting him as an individual and has encouraged him to discover and explore his own interests alongside supporting him to participate
in planned group activities. Whilst attending preschool he comes home each day with drawings, completed creative projects, new knowledge and fascination with topics they’ve learnt about within the curriculum underpinned with a sense of self-confidence about his learnings. Alongside his curricula-based development, he has learnt and practised social skills which have been embedded and reinforced by experiencing the behaviour of his teachers: an environment of kindness, listening and empathy. I will forever be grateful for the team at Hopscotch, who all commit so fully to their work, and create an environment that is safe, caring, playful and educationally robust.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.942)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.942) out of 10 for Hopscotch Children's Nurseries - Seven Dials 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.977 for Hopscotch Children's Nurseries - Seven Dials is calculated as follows: ( (129 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.977

  • 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 4.965 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hopscotch Children's Nurseries - Seven Dials is based on 11 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 57 number of registered child places is 11.4. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.4 = 0.965

  • 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.
