About this day nursery

Hopscotch Day Nursery Fareham, a childcare on non-domestic premises setting, provides a welcoming and inclusive environment for children aged 0-4 years. 30pm for 51 weeks of the year, the nursery creates a hive of activity where children are encouraged to play, explore, and investigate under the close supervision of staff.

The manager, a qualified teacher with strong values, leads a team dedicated to providing high-quality early education. The nursery effectively supports children with special educational needs and/or disabilities, with the manager working closely with parents and external professionals to ensure good progress from their starting points.

Toddlers and older children enjoy free access to outdoor areas, with staff creatively utilising inclement weather for activities like making "magic puddles" with powder paint. Children thoroughly enjoy their time here, benefiting from a curriculum that emphasises physical development, communication and language skills, and prepares them for school.

The nursery also provides nutritious, home-made meals and snacks, promoting independence in children as they learn to serve themselves. Daily verbal and written feedback through an online system ensures strong partnerships with parents, keeping them informed of their children's next steps in learning.
