Leaving your child in the care of someone else is a hard thing to do, especially when you don't know those people. I was nervous when my daughter first went to nursery and even more nervous when she went to Fareham, transferring from a setting where she had settled - I needn't have been! The staff in
the under 2's room are amazing, my daughter settled quickly and, thanks to the care, knowledge and dedication of the team has developed into a talkative, confident and social toddler. The app, end of day handovers, phone calls if needed, observations and informal chats with the team allow me to feel safe in the knowledge that my daughter is happy and well looked after when I'm at work. Her development across different areas is mapped and shared at parents evenings. I don't worry about my daughter when she's at nursery, I know she's having a great time, cared for by caring, passionate and knowledgeable women who are lead by an amazing manager.

Can't praise Hopscotch Fareham enough. All the staff are so caring and knowledgeable.
The nursery has an excellent child centred approach which is implemented consistently.
We have been particularly grateful for the support given to our grandson who has been working to be independent of his nasal
feeding tube.
The nursery staff have worked really hard to ensure that he eats and drinks sufficient and that this is communicated to us.
This reflects the super communication and feedback at the end of each session and through the Family App. Pictures of our grandson enjoying wonderful varied activities are much appreciated.

Reply from Dani Athersmith, Nursery Manager at Hopscotch Day Nursery Fareham

Thank you for this lovely review. We have loved watching your Grandson progress and we are so proud of everything he's achieved while he has been with us at Hopscotch! We thank you for allowing us to be part of his development journey.

Fantastic staff who genuinely care about all those they look after.
The layout of the nursery is lovely and it has great transitions between different age rooms, so they are not daunted when it is time to go to a new room with new staff. My daughter has been there for over a year and I couldn't imagine
her being anywhere else.
We are always given updates of what is going on each day, what she is given to eat (and how much she actually eats!) and photos of things she is up to.
My daughter is absolutely thriving at Hopscotch Nursery in Fareham and enjoys every day she is there.

Our son started at hopscotch at 6 months old! We began with a few hours a week and have built it up to 4 days per week. He is now 17 months old and has loved nursery from the very beginning. His physical and social development came on leaps and bounds ever since. We are updated regularly with pictures
of him engaging in lots of fun activities. You can really see how much practitioners support the children in their development as well as meeting their individual needs. We love how transparent they are, and that we are kept in the loop with how he is getting on. The food menus are also great! We would highly recommend hopscotch (fareham)

Our twin boys go here since they were 1 years old and they have always thrived. The staff are great. Very friendly and approachable. The nursery is always organised and clean. A lovely bright and airy space. We get regular picture updates about what our boys have been doing which is lovely. They think
up a huge range of different activities for the children to do which keeps things varied. We moved but still kept our little one's here as we are so happy with the nursery.

My child started hopscotch Fareham in November 24 due to me taking them out of a different nursery l. I was absolutely amazed at how wonderful and welcoming the staff were to help with a quick start date and settle my child in. I could not believe the complete change in my child from crying and not
wanting to go in on their first session, to a few weeks later, so excited to go to. They now can not wait to go to nursery and are so happy to go in with the staff member, and I can feel confident that my child will be looked after like one of their own at the Fareham setting. All of the staff here are amazing, caring, happy and always available for anything. They really have turned my little girl around from the child she was at her old nursery, back to her happy self within such a short space of time. I wish I had sent her here from the start. The best nursery and staff around. Thank you for everything that you do for my child. She will continue to flourish in your loving care.

We have used Hopscotch Fareham now since 2022, both our children have attended and we believe they really do get the best start to their education. Our youngest started here in January 2025 and she loves it. All the staff are so friendly and caring, it's nice to see the same faces still working here
2 years on from when our son left. They involve the children in lots of activities from indoor to outdoor, they even have a soft play area which is an added bonus! Great communication with parents through the use of the app and we're given regular updates on what they've been up to during the day including pictures. I would definitely recommend them to family and friends and I can't speak highly enough about the setting.

We've had a wonderful experience with Hopscotch Fareham! My son attended for four years, and now my daughter is there as well. She started in the baby room and is now in the toddler room, where she's truly blossomed. Since joining, she has gained so much confidence and is steadily achieving milestones
that were a little behind her age. The staff have been incredibly supportive and attentive, making sure each child's needs are met. It's a relief to know my children are in such caring and nurturing hands. Thank you, Hopscotch Fareham, for all that you do!

My son has attended Hopscotch since he was 1 and is coming to the end of pre-school. He is on the sensitive side, so I was really worried about him going to nursery but he has absolutely thrived at Hopscotch. The staff are wonderful, so kind, patient and understanding. It's been such a weight off my
shoulders to know he's happy and is being looked after by staff who genuinely care about him. My daughter is about to start in the baby room so we're about to start the journey all over again - we didn't even consider sending her anywhere else! Thank you Hopscotch Fareham team.

Reply from Julie Walker, Fareham Manager at Hopscotch Day Nursery Fareham

Thank you so much for your wonderful review It is so great to hear your daughter has settled well into our Hopscotch Day Nursery at Fareham just like her big brother. Your daughter really enjoys music and movement and is really good at bopping along to the music it's so lovely to observe this in our baby's room. She has started to participate in sensory activities using her feet to explore, cause and effect toys that have captured her attention such as our pop-up toys are also a current favourite. In Preschool your son is fascinated with outer space the moon and astronauts. We all share amazing engagement and conversations with him which are literally out of this world. He also enjoys our garden area using different equipment and tools to physically challenge himself, dinosaurs are never far away either. We are all so pleased you are happy with the care and education that we provide for both of your children. Thank you and best wishes from all the team at Hopscotch Day Nursery Fareham.

Our grandson started at Hopscotch Fareham in April this year. We visited other nurseries before choosing Hopscotch and we felt that this one stood out. The manager and her deputy were so friendly and helpful, as are all the care staff we have met. There was an excellent induction program for settling
him in before he started. He loves coming to nursery, getting excited as we pull into the car park. There is a peaceful and purposeful atmosphere and all the children appear to be engaged in activities with their adults.
His keyworker knows him so well, time is taken to feedback at pickup after every session. Pictures, videos and comments are regularly shared via the app to inform us of his progress.
Since he has started to go to this nursery, we have observed significant improvements in many areas and these have also been picked up by his therapists. In particular, his eating has come on tremendously, meal times are calm and the meals look appetising and nutritious.

Reply from Julie Walker, Fareham Manager at Hopscotch Day Nursery Fareham

Thank you for your wonderful review, our team will be so pleased to hear how well you feel your grandson has settled into our Fareham nursery. We enjoy observing your grandson thrive especially outdoors in the garden where he uses his physical skills throwing balls and rolling balls to his peers. He has displayed a real interest in vehicles and small-world play recently. He is most definitely enjoying tasting food from our delicious menu. Thank you again for your review which we will share with all our team, all the best from all the Hopscotch Fareham team.

My son started in the baby room at the start of April 2024 and I am absolutely blown away by how welcoming, interactive and fantastic the team are.
Kirsty who did his settle was so caring and really spent the time talking with me.
His key worker very quickly built a solid bond with my son and went
above and beyond with touching base to update me on his day and sending me a message using the app to reassure me and if she had any queries about a nap or bottle etc. This was so lovely as I was nervous with him starting at nursery.
The whole team have introduced themselves at the show round, settled and on his first day, ensuring I knew everyone and that everyone knew me.
My son was easily settled by any member of the team if he was sad because they all made the effort to play with him and get to know him.
I love that everything includes meals and how much he eats is filled out on the Famly app for me to see throughout the day. He is so happy and settled already.

Reply from Julie Walker, Fareham Manager at Hopscotch Day Nursery Fareham

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.905)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.905) out of 10 for Hopscotch Day Nursery Fareham is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.905 for Hopscotch Day Nursery Fareham is calculated as follows: ( (308 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 336 Ratings = 4.905

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hopscotch Day Nursery Fareham is based on 28 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 80 number of registered child places is 16, which has been reached with 28 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.

Hello, my name is Dani Athersmith, and I am the Nursery Manager at Hopscotch Day Nursery Fareham.


I have been working in early years settings since 2011, starting as an apprentice before qualifying and gaining experience in various environments with children of all age groups. I joined the Hopscotch team in October 2018 at our Botley location, where I began as a practitioner in the toddler room before advancing to senior practitioner. In September 2019, I transferred to our lovely new Fareham setting, taking on the role of Room Leader for U2 and becoming the third in charge. In March 2022, I was promoted to Deputy Manager at Fareham.


At Fareham, our team of practitioners is dedicated to creating a stimulating environment where children feel safe and secure, enabling them to learn and develop the skills they need to thrive as they grow. I am particularly passionate about fostering strong partnerships with parents to build trust, ensuring that children feel comfortable and secure while in our care.


We understand how challenging it can be to send your child to nursery, and we strive to offer the best possible care, creating a home-from-home experience that aligns with each child's individual routine.
Hopscotch Fareham boasts a beautifully designed environment and a highly qualified, motivated team of practitioners who are committed to building caring, trusting relationships with children and their families.


Our open-plan rooms and seamless access to outdoor areas provide children with a safe space, ready for learning through the play opportunities our team thoughtfully creates.


We are dedicated to delivering the highest quality childcare, always prioritising children’s well-being in everything we do. We feel honoured to help our children flourish, becoming independent and resilient learners who are well-prepared for school.


We invite you to visit our beautiful nursery, meet our committed team, and ask any questions you might have. We understand how daunting it can be to choose childcare for your little ones, and we recognise our vital role in supporting both you and your children.
