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.
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.

Job Title: Manager
Joined: 2010
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.

Hi, my name is Felicity, and I've been part of the Hopscotch Journey at Fareham since 2020. For five years, I had the privilege of managing our Preschool team while also enhancing my skills with a qualification in Special Educational Needs. I collaborate closely with our Manager, Dani, and we are both dedicated to providing outstanding childcare. Our main aim is to give all our children the best start possible as they prepare to transition to school. We look forward to welcoming you into Hopscotch Fareham :)
