I have been super impressed with Hopscoth Nursery, Botley since day one! Throughout the day, we get updates on what our child has been eating, how long she's been in the garden, how long she napped for and her nappy changes. They also give a comprehensive run-through on pickup as well as regularly posting
photos on the nursery app so we can see how much fun our child is getting up to. They also assess the child's progress and inform us of her communication, social and physical capabilities. They've really helped our child's speech develop and she's constantly learning through play, songs and books at nursery. They really take an interest in seeing each child develop. Hopscotch also makes sure that our child safely explores the world around her, taking her for days out to the park and allowing her to explore their big garden! This is a really great nursery and we couldn't be happier with the environment our child is attending every week.

Reply from Jodie Parker, Nursery Manager at Hopscotch Day Nursery Botley

Thank you for such a lovely review! It's great to hear about all the things your child gets up to in their day. I'll make sure to share this feedback with the team!

Given our excellent experience, we wouldn't consider using any nursery/preschool other than Hopscotch Botley. The team are fantastic. Everyone knows our son, not just his immediate room team, and greet him by name. He's always made to feel welcome and cared for in the setting. He's had a wonderful range
of opportunities, and we love the addition of woodworking. The outdoor space is fantastic. The Botley team have also created lovely experiences and opportunities for parents, and are always supportive, offering advice. The team have really helped us to foster a curiosity for the world around us and a love of learning for our son. Staff take an interest in what he does when he's not at their setting, making it feel like a very personalised service. It feels like we, as parents, work as a team with the staff to create a warm, happy environment in which our son can thrive.

Wow, what a fantastic review! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts. It's lovely to hear that both you and your son have such a positive experience.

We highly recommend Hopscotch. Both our children have attended the setting. The children have always loved the ladies across the different rooms and refer to them as 'my teachers'. They love the outside space and activities and are allowed independence across the preschool areas. They have built some
lovely friendships and have enjoyed their time at Hopscotch.
The team are very helpful and great at making the kids feel supported and more grown up. The food always smells great and I'm often told 'Yours is not as good as pre-schools'. The activities always vary. Our general rule is, the filthier they are when they come home, the better the time they have had. Communication has always been very good. They have also been very supportive of us and have accommodated last-minute days where needed. Even when I have phoned up with as little notice as 7.30 am on the day. Where space and staffing allow, they have always helped. We will miss you all when school starts!

Just wow, as a first-time mother I never expected the childcare process to go so smoothly.
My nerves about leaving my child for a full day quickly vanished with the timely updates and great handovers.
The staff are so detail orientated and take absolutely everything in their stride. They really
care about providing an environment that compliments home structure.
I'm also so touched that all the staff in babies actively cuddle and soothe my child when needed. There are a few comments about the pricing, however, for the service received it is very much fair. At drop-off, I don't have any anxieties that my child's needs won't be met and when I collect her she is always really content.

My son attends botley hopscotch 3 days a week in the preschool main room. The girls are always working together to help support my little boy, especially with his meal times and school readiness. The food is lovely and there is a wide range of selection across the week. The team are super friendly and
welcoming and the facilities have a lot to offer, specifically the garden for its large open space and stimulating activities.

Our little boy has been at Hopscotch Botley for a year now and I cannot recommend them high enough. All the staff are friendly and helpful and my son has learnt so much from them. He comes home doing sign language which is amazing as this isn’t something we’ve had chance to do with him.

At Hopstotch Botley, you are always greeted with a friendly welcome and smile from the front desk team. They are very accommodating and understanding when you ask a question or submit a request. My son loves to go to nursery and the Baby and Waddler Team have been amazing throughout my son’s nursery
journey so far. The teams are smiley and always happy to answer any questions for you. They give you a good overview/run down of the day your child has had and provide activity observations. Within the many different activities, there's plenty of time spent outside in the garden in all weather which is great. Last year, Hopscotch even hatched some ducklings and my son had a lovely experience seeing them up close before they were sent back to live on a farm. I am very happy with Hopscotch and would totally recommend the nursery to my friends.

My daughter has been at Botley Hopscotch for 2 years now and has always been so happy to go! She has made some lovely friends and built some fantastic relationships with the staff. They show the utmost care and attention to my daughter's needs, and what always amazes me is that it doesn't matter which

Our daughter has been at Hopscotch since she was 2 starting in Toddlers and recently moved to Preschool Hall. Took her a while to settle initially but all the staff have been amazing and kept us updated on how she was getting on two different apps. She loves going now and we always get a great handover
of how her day has been.

Hopscotch is a fantastic nursery, my child has a great time when here, the outdoor space is really big and they are always doing lots of different activities with them when indoors. Children are encouraged to learn and staff help to teach them important independent skills.
The management team are
great and whenever I have had any questions or concerns they have always communicated back with me as I would expect, whether that’s by email or face-to-face, I have never come away from a conversation with them unhappy, and can see they are there to support my child.
The staff show genuine care for my child, I have no safeguarding concerns, and they offer a good variety of food which is made fresh on-site every day.

Excellent nursery. Huge range of activities to keep children engaged throughout the day including sports, crafts, baking, role play, sensory, reading, and singing; based around themes and learning skills or values. Lovely outdoor space with both grass and hard standing, so can be used all year round.
Excellent
range of food ensuring a varied and balanced diet, and trying different textures and flavours; reflecting what we do at home.

We recently attended an 'open morning' for our granddaughter. It was a pleasure to witness first-hand the wonderful activities available for the children and to meet the staff in a more informal way - thank you! Hopscotch Botley has been wonderful to my granddaughter since she arrived as a five month
old baby. As caring grandparents we are so delighted that our daughter made this nursery her choice. Everyone is amazing and our granddaughter has developed in so many ways. She is a very happy little one at nursery and is so stimulated and cared for.

Updated. Recently received a third increase in 6 months! Justification centres around service charges, changes are unreasonable, with no material change in government funding. Transparency and rationale of fees lack any credibility.
Information on this website regarding fees is incorrect. This has
been pointed out to the nursery and this website, yet still remains.


ASC is not £2.25 - it is £2.70! Fees are not raised annually, they have risen three times in 2023!


On the first fee increase, opening hours were reduced, effectively rendering it an even higher increase relative to hours. Massively disruptive for my family.
Previous instances were charged fees when the setting was closed (through their closure, with notice given the previous evening at 8 p.m.), leadership citing nonsensical “internal” policies.
A lovely setting, with good staff, ruined by the management's treatment of its customers, with extortionate, unfair and regular fee increases.


Reply from Jodie Parker, Nursery Manager at Hopscotch Day Nursery Botley

Thank you for your review, we appreciate all feedback.
We cannot comment on a specific closure without knowing which event the Reviewer may be referring to. Our prices are reviewed annually. These increased by 7% in 2022 and by between 8% and 10% in 2023. The 2023 price increase took effect from 1st March 2023. Our annual rates of increase are comparable to other local providers. Meals and snacks are included in our session prices. Earlier in 2023, Hopscotch did reduce opening hours by 30 minutes to 6 p.m. This was due to ongoing staffing challenges and it also brought Hopscotch in line with other competing local providers. Our consumables charge increased to £2.25/hr from 01.05.23, and to £2.70/hr from 01.09.2023. We are having to pass on a greater share of this cost due to underfunding by the government. We are mindful that the cost of our provision must always be competitive and we are confident that we are. For context, Botley had an occupancy level of 85.1% in July 2023.

We are now in our 5th year of using Hopscotch nursery with our second child now in the pre-school. Recently we noticed the price increases seemed to be excessive while also reducing hours. The nursery seems to have continual staffing issues leaving collection time chaotic with little information about
the child’s day while the parent scrambles to find their items to take home. More concerning than this is the rate of price increase over this period. There has been a 42% rise in the cost of sending our second child compared to what we paid for our first child only 2 Years ago. I acknowledge that price increases are necessary at the moment but this is alarming and seems unjustifiable, with the nursery taking advantage of the limited ability to easily move to a more reasonably priced nursery. I would warn prospective parents to look closely at the pricing of Hopscotch especially when entitled to 30 hours free childcare and be wary of seemingly constant price rises.

Reply from Jodie Parker, Nursery Manager at Hopscotch Day Nursery Botley

Thankyou for your review, we appreciate all feedback.
On staffing, there is a chronic shortage of staff impacting the childcare sector across the UK at present. We have devoted extra investment and resources to address this issue and believe Hopscotch's record in recruitment and retention is on a par with the best providers across the country. On fees, we cannot comment on the assertion that there's been a 42% increase without knowing how this is calculated. Our session prices increased by 7% in 2022 and between 8% and 10% in 2023.These increases were comparable to those levied by other local providers. We are providing all meals and consumables within our pricing. Our consumable charge is increasing to £2.70 an hour from 01.09.2023. We are having to make this increase due to rising costs and underfunding by the government. We are mindful that the cost of our provision must always be competitive and we are confident we are. Our occupancy level in July 2023 was 85.1%

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.513)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.513) out of 10 for Hopscotch Day Nursery Botley is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 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 4.721 for Hopscotch Day Nursery Botley is calculated as follows: ( (213 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 251 Ratings = 4.721

  • 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 4.792 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hopscotch Day Nursery Botley 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 120 number of registered child places is 24. 19 Positive Reviews ÷ 24 = 0.792

  • 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.

Job Title: Deputy Manager

Joined: 2024

Hi I'm Kirsty, I'm the deputy manager here at Hopscotch Botley. I have been with the company since 2012 and I have experienced many different roles throughout my childcare career, including working my way up from bank staff to the waddler room leader, before moving onto my role here at nursery as Deputy Manager. I have two children so I understand how important early years care is. They have both attended the Titchfield setting as I know Hopscotch is the best care for them. I am excited to bring my ideas and knowledge into the role and am passionate about building links within the local community.
