  • 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 daughter has been attending Hopscotch Eastleigh since March 2021, after moving from another setting. She has come on in leaps and bounds since we have moved and really enjoys the time she spends with the girls and other children in the room. She is also eager to come in and is always happy and bouncing
when I pick her up. Great Nursery, all the staff are wonderful and can't do enough.

Reply from sally Rutledge, Integration Team - Head Office at Hopscotch Day Nursery Eastleigh

Hi Zoe. Thank you for the lovely review. As a parent, I understand how tricky it can be to move your little one to a new setting. We always ensure each child has a bespoke settling in period before they join us to make sure they settle quickly and to reassure you as a parent. It is a pleasure having your daughter in the Toddler room and we all love watching her develop and grow.

The setting is fantastic and my daughter has been so happy there since the day she started. She has excellent freshly cooked food which is fantastic as it helps with trying new things (they care about nutrition too), she has fun every day.. what more could I want?! The staff are amazing and she loves
each one of them.
I really couldn’t be happier with how they all treat her and how genuinely happy they are to see her every time she goes in. I wouldn’t want her to be placed anywhere else and am so lucky that such a lovely team look after her while I have to work. Thank you guys as always - if there was a higher mark than excellent, this nursery and the whole team would be awarded it in every department!

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.

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.
