  • Hopscotch Day Nursery Eastleigh, Eastleigh
Located in a former social club, the beautiful Victorian property that is now Hopscotch Eastleigh has been extensively refurbished to provide high-quality childcare. Located directly opposite the central park, and close to the town centre, the nursery has a private car park for easy drop-offs and pick-ups. The team regularly take advantage of the surroundings with trips organised to expand the children's experience within their local area.

When they're not 'out and about', their secure rear garden provides a variety of physical play elements to develop imaginative play. Outdoor play is an important foundation of learning, providing physical development alongside opportunities to explore, and learn how to manage risk. During Spring 2021 they will be creating a second garden, accessed directly from the under-twos area opening up free-flow play opportunities.

Inside, the spacious rooms allow continuous provision and free flow movement, and the amazing team work hard to ensure that all children are engaged with purposeful play so that each and every one of them is supported to develop their full potential. To support this, they work in partnership with parents to ensure that the needs of all families are met. Hopscotch Day Nurseries have been providing exceptional childcare across multiple settings in the Gosport / Fareham area since 2005, and are very proud of the high standard of care they provide. They look forward to welcoming you into their family.

My little boy started Hopscotch Eastleigh in May. He is currently in the toddler room and he absolutely loves it. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and I feel at ease leaving my little one there. His speech has improved, his social skills are getting so much better and he is generally very happy!
Thank you Hopscotch team!

Reply from Linda Jobling, Nursery Manager at Hopscotch Day Nursery Eastleigh

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! Our nursery team works hard to ensure that settling in is a positive experience for all children. This approach is crucial in helping them feel safe and secure in their new environment, which then supports their growth and development. We're thrilled to hear your feedback about the improvements in social skills and speech development. These are essential life skills that we actively support every day.

My 2 year old son started in September and it's the first time he's been in this environment without me and they have made it so easy and fun for him and they all seem so caring towards all of the children they have in their care.

Reply from Linda Jobling, Deputy Manager at Hopscotch Day Nursery Eastleigh

Thank you so much for your lovely review. The nursery team really do work hard to ensure that the children are given support as it is important to us that parents and children are supported well during the transition into nursery life. This gives the children a really good start at nursery, to enable them to develop and learn new skills to support on their journey with us, so that they leave nursery, happy, confident and inquisitive learners.

A local nursery with a caring staff. A great catering team providing fresh meals. Experienced all four rooms. Friendly management team. Good parking and access or very convenient if you live in central Eastleigh.

Reply from Linda Jobling, Nursery Manager at Hopscotch Day Nursery Eastleigh

Thank you so much for your review of the nursery. Our wonderful catering team work really hard to provide home cooked food for the children to enjoy. I am pleased to see that you have given positive feedback on all 4 of our nursery rooms that your child has followed on their journey with us. Each room has its own curriculum which really supports the children to grow and develop at the different stages of their learning and development. We are very luck to be situated in the centre of Eastleigh and use this to our advantage when taking the children on trips to explore the local area or when visiting our local library.

My daughter has been attending the nursery since she was 10 months old, she's now 3 and still absolutely loving it there. The staff are amazing, they all take the time to personally welcome your child or say hello as you enter. Updates are provided throughout the day and safeguarding is a top priority.
My daughter enjoys the meals that provide a healthy balanced diet and meet her dietary requirements. We always enjoy the parent welcome days, they're always a lot of fun.
I know my daughter will miss her time there when she has to go to school next year.

I could not recommend Hopscotch Eastleigh enough! The staff are fantastic - so friendly, happy and enthusiastic and they genuinely care about the children. My daughter had major surgery just before starting and they went above and beyond to make the necessary adjustments for her. The staff take the
time to really invest in the children’s development and work on their targets alongside the parents. We never feel rushed at drop off/pick up and get lots of updates throughout the day via an app. The setting feels like a home from home and we are so happy we chose Hopscotch for our daughter.

Reply from Linda Jobling, Manager at Hopscotch Day Nursery Eastleigh

Thank you for your review and your lovely comments. Our baby staff are such a wonderful team and I know they really do go above and beyond to help our parents settle into nursery life and support them through all the emotions that both parents and the children can experience. I know we have had really positive feedback from our parents regarding the introduction of our new app, they find it very interactive and they are able to log in during the day to get updates on their child. We are glad that you have had such a positive experience and thank you for sharing them with us, we are looking forward to supporting your child in the rest of their journey with us here at nursery.

My daughter has been attending Hopscotch Eastleigh since November 2022 and absolutely loves it. The staff are kind and caring towards the children and really supportive of parents' preferences. Her development has been incredible since she started in the baby room at 11 months. She has since moved through
Waddlers and is now in the Toddler room and in all three rooms, she has had a wonderful time and the staff have been brilliant. Most recently, they have supported us with preparing her for a new sibling by talking about it with her, reading lots of books and doing lots of role play. And they've also helped us with potty training. The nursery provides a varied healthy menu and lovely outdoor spaces, as well as lots of opportunities for messy and creative play. I cannot fault Hopscotch and would recommend it to everyone.

Reply from Linda Jobling, Manager at Hopscotch Day Nursery Eastleigh

Thank you for such a lovely review of our nursery. I am so pleased that your child has had a positive journey with us, each room is as unique as the children they support to grow and learn, and the staff really do work hard for the children to meet their milestones before they transition to the next room. It is so important for us to help children understand changes that may occur in their family dynamics, such as welcoming a new sibling or moving home, so it is wonderful to know that your child was supported in welcoming a new sibling to your family. We also appreciate your positive feedback regarding the food that is cooked fresh each day by our amazing catering team, we are looking forward to introducing our brand new summer menu soon. Kind regards, the Eastleigh Team.

We couldn’t recommend Hopscotch Eastleigh enough. Our son has been attending for almost 2 years and absolutely loves it. The staff are incredible - every one of them, no matter which room they look after, takes such care of every child. They are all so friendly and take such pride in what they do. They
have nursery-wide activities that parents are invited to which has been such a lovely touch and has given us a wonderful insight into our toddler's life at nursery. They are so thorough at pick up and take such pride in telling us what he has been up to each day. The facilities are also amazing, with such lovely rooms and outdoor spaces for the children. We have such a happy boy at Hopscotch!

Reply from Linda Jobling, Deputy Manager at Hopscotch Day Nursery Eastleigh

Thank you so much for your lovely comments. The staff work really hard to provide engaging activities for the children and I know they look forward to letting parents know at the end of the day what the children have been involved in, especially if they have achieved a new mile stone in their development. We love watching the children grow and learn new skills as they transition through the different rooms within the nursery, it is very important to us that the children are well supported during these times, so it is good to know that this has worked well for your child. We have all really enjoyed having the opportunity to invite our parents in for our events afternoons, we shall be planning lots more in the future, as we have had such positive feed back from our parents. Thank you again, and the Eastleigh team.

Our little girl was at Hopscotch from 9 months until 2.5 years, 4 days/week, when we relocated at which point we were truly devastated to have to leave. Everyone at the nursery is wonderful, warm and friendly they spend so much time getting to know the needs of the child and adapting to help them grow
and flourish - our little girl thrived during her time there. They do a brilliant job of updating parents on what they are up to during the day with the app including photos, videos and notes as well as taking the time at the start and end of the day to talk, I never felt rushed. The staff are also great at responding to concerns and were particularly patient in helping our girl sleep (which she needs but does not always want). They also take them out on little trips and go outside every day. The transitions between rooms as she grew went so smoothly and the facilities are brilliant. They are a nursery constantly looking to improve the experience for all. Thank you to you all, we will miss you so much.

Reply from Linda Jobling, Manager at Hopscotch Day Nursery Eastleigh

Thank you so much for your kind words. I know the staff work really hard to get to know each child and their family. It is so important to us that each child is recognized as a unique individual and we understand that all families are different. Our nursery is always trying to adapt and change to ensure that everyone who walks through the door is given a warm and friendly welcome and that we all work as a team to make all our parents both new and existing, know that we are always here to support them in their child journey with us.
We love watching all our children grow and develop, and love to celebrate their achievements with their families. It is always sad when children have to leave us, on behalf of everyone at Eastleigh Hopscotch we wish you all the very best in your new adventure.
Kind Regards Linda and the Hopscotch Team.

Hopscotch is one of the best in my opinion. All the staff say good morning and good night to the children as they come and go and all of the staff know each child by 1st name making it a more welcome feel. If you are ever unsure of something you can ask them and they usually can give you the answer
right away or by the end of the school day. The on-site cook is very friendly and cooks up beautiful meals (+ gives you ideas for new foods to cook at home that they will actually eat! The nursery manager is very supportive and helps you with any questions you may have. In the rooms, they do a lot of activities and it's always different things and this is something we like the little one is there for 3 days. It's a nice setting think you should go have a show around and get a feel for the place and see how little one takes to it.

Reply from Linda Jobling, Manager at Hopscotch Day Nursery Eastleigh

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, we are so glad that you have had a great experience at Hopscotch Eastleigh. We are very lucky to have such an amazing team of staff and our cook does an amazing job in cooking up delicious meals for the children.

Eastleigh Nursery itself is fantastic. However, Hopscotch management has recently changed their invoicing system causing an incredibly tight turnaround to be able to pay the company and late fees are charged. The finance department has shown no care and is not reading my emails properly in their contact
with me.
Eastleigh Nursery, however, is brilliant. The manager does a wonderful job and I trust the staff within the facility to care for, support and educate my child. This should be a 5* review but Hopscotch Management have brought it down.

Reply from Linda Jobling, Deputy Manager at Hopscotch Day Nursery Eastleigh

Thank you for your review. I am so pleased that you are happy with the care and support that your child receives from the wonderful staff at Eastleigh Hopscotch. We work hard to support all our families and to make the nursery a welcoming and fun place for the children to grow and develop their skills and abilities to be happy and confident young people.
I am sorry to hear that the change to our new invoicing system has caused issues for your family. Our finance team are keen to work with our parents to address any issues that have arisen since the changeover in January 2024.
Thank you again for your lovely comments I will share these with my team.

My little boy loves preschool and all the staff. I love the fact they take the time to have 1-1 sessions with activities and share this on the app. The staff know what each individual likes and dislikes, and if there is ever a difficult morning, they encourage him with his favourite toy or explain some
of the fun activities they have for the day, which makes me feel at ease when leaving him.

I know that drop-off times can sometimes be difficult for both children and parents, so it is good to know that the team are working with you to make a smooth and engaging transition from home.

Hopscotch Day Nursery in Eastleigh is fantastic. We are continually impressed with the level of care and attention staff have given our daughter since she started. We really feel like they know her, all her likes and dislikes and all her quirks. Watching our daughter at a recent open day, it was clear
she really enjoys her time at nursery and feels at home there. I love the fact that they make the most of the outside space, even with the under-2s, and it was lovely when they took some of the babies to rhyme time at the local library. They take safety and safeguarding incredibly seriously and we could not be happier leaving our daughter in their care.

Facilities are great and nursery is clean and new looking. Nursery is understaffed however and this has effected the amount of activities/outings.

Eastleigh hopscotch is a very good nursery. They let the parents know what happens day to day with the child and what they have been up to that day. Also, they let the parents know if there are any concerns with the child and what the nursery and the parents can do about it like if the parents need
to get hold of the Health Visit staff or the doctor. They do home-cooked food which is fresh, and if there is anything they need for the child at nursery, they tell the parents what they need to bring in when the child is in the nursery next.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.760)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.760) out of 10 for Hopscotch Day Nursery Eastleigh 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 18 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 4.792 for Hopscotch Day Nursery Eastleigh is calculated as follows: ( (198 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 240 Ratings = 4.792

  • 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 4.968 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hopscotch Day Nursery Eastleigh is based on 18 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 93 number of registered child places is 18.6. 18 Positive Reviews ÷ 18.6 = 0.968

  • 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.

Linda Jobling

Job Title: Nursery Manager

Joined: 2011

Hi, I am Linda the Manager of Eastleigh Hopscotch Nursery. I have been working for Hopscotch since 2011, where I started as a lunchtime assistant in the baby room at our Lee on Solent setting. I moved to our Eastleigh Nursery in 2022 as Deputy Manager to cover maternity leave. I am a qualified SENCO and am here to ensure that all children your child is given the best possible start in their own personal learning journey.


As a mum to 4 children, I understand how important it is to a parent to know that they will be leaving their children in a caring, safe, and secure place. I absolutely love coming to work every day and find it a privilege to be a part of each and every one of our children’s learning and development journeys. There is no better start to the day than seeing a child’s smiling face coming through our Nursery door ready for a fun-filled day, of exciting and learning-rich activities.
