"We are very happy with this nursery setting. Our little one joined when we moved to the area a year ago when he was 2. The care he receives is exceptional and he talks fondly of the staff who care for him. He really enjoys the cake baking and art activities. I would recommend for anyone looking for a smaller setting away from large nursery chains."

"Hopscotch ticked all the boxes for me when I was looking for a childcare setting for my daughter (who has now gone to school), my son (who is currently attending the nursey) and my youngest daughter (who will be attending in the new year). These boxes included excellent pastoral care, learning and development activities that would keep them stimulated and instil a lifelong joy of learning, the chance to meet and interact with peers their age (and who would attend the same reception class), and being prepared for the transition to school. In addition to meeting these key requirements, I have been very impressed by the organisation and communication skills of the manager and her team, the extra-curricular activities that are on offer (Sing and Sign classes, for example) and the fact that nutritious hot meals are served for lunch. My children have and do very much enjoy themselves a Hopscotch and come home full of news about their day and armed with a plethora of artistic items!"

“Hopscotch is a very special nursery. My daughter has been so happy here and her confidence has grown so much. The staff are outstanding and seem very happy at work. I love that they observe what the children are really interested in and create stimulating activities around their passions rather than a set curriculum each term. The feedback is always detailed as they are really interested and excited by each child's progress. The photos and videos on Tapestry show how much fun is being had inside the nursery! My daughter is so well prepared to start school in September but it is going to be so sad to say goodbye to everyone at Hopscotch. I wish we had moved here sooner so my eldest could have had the Hopscotch experience too.”

“My two little girls attended Hopscotch and absolutely LOVED IT. The environment was so welcoming and warm. They grew so much in confidence in their time there and made so many good friends and fond memories. As a parent I felt confident sending them there, I knew they would be nurtured and supported. Even on the weekend they would complain that they would want to go to school. I tried not to take this personally. I can only hope that our next step in the big school is as smooth and rewarding”

"From the get-go my daughter has loved her nursery, Hopscotch. 
Not surprisingly as the team taking care of her are always smiley, engaging, caring and helpful and she is genuinely fond of each of them.

It is a relatively small intimate nursery which particularly appealed to me. The setting is clean, bright and organised, with an outside play area. My daughter experiences Forest School here one day a week in the beautiful Staffhurst Woods. This gives an excellent dimension to her learning and development. Thanks to Hopscotch she is coming on leaps and bounds."

My daughter attended the Hopscotch Nursery in Oxted for 2 years, whilst we were awaiting for a school place to be available. I had researched many nurseries within the local vicinity that would provide a high level of support to my child. The previous nursery my child attended, had struggled to cater for her needs so I had to ensure I chose a suitable one. I visited Hopscotch Nursery on an open day and met the proprietor, Anna and some of the staff. I was impressed by the warmth exuded and the knowledge they displayed, I felt they provided the type of learning style that would suit my child. After a tour of the facility, I knew this would be the most suitable nursery that would provide a nurturing environment that we were seeking.


At the time, the nursery’s ethos was ‘learning through play’ and we saw the immediate change in my child’s abilities and learning. Her behaviour improved immensely, and she has started to learn letters and numbers to a high standard. The staff were patient and very accommodating; they adapted their techniques to best match my child’s abilities. The staff to child ratio was good and the smaller, more cosy setting certainly made the children happy and bond with each other. There was an option to attend a weekly forest school, which allowed the children to detach from the classroom and experience a different aspect of learning. It is refreshing to see children who were reluctant to leave school at home time but that was the effect this nursery had on them.


I could not recommend Hopscotch Nursery highly enough and in my opinion, the smaller size would suit children who are shy or are not suited to a larger environment; where it was easy for a child to feel overwhelmed or neglected. The nursery has a fantastic team of SEND teachers who were very knowledgeable and experience in dealing with children with special needs. We always felt welcomed and had a place where we could always talk to and share ideas with. Anna has been outstanding for our child whom she assisted us through the EHCP with Surrey Council.

“Since we started at hopscotch in September I have noticed a remarkable change in my daughter. She is happier and calmer and has learnt so much, the atmosphere is perfect for the children and helps them grow and learn and the staff are amazing”. 
Thank you for an amazing time.

"Hopscotch Montessori is a lovely setting. The nursery is quite small and personal compared to some which I find is brilliant. My daughter has been going for a while now and she enjoys every day she spends with the staff at hopscotch. The staff are all so friendly and attentive to the children's needs. Her learning has come on leaps and bounds and I feel like the nursery has really prepared her for starting school this year."

'A friendly, learning environment - our son has settled in well and loves it. The staff attend to him with great care. His attendance at Hopscotch is visibly aiding his development'

“Our daughter has attended Hopscotch for a year now and we’ve found it to be a fun, warm and nurturing environment. We have found the team to be lovely and caring and have enjoyed the regular feedback on her development from them. The Montessori approach works well for our daughter and she has come on so much in so many ways. Hopscotch really is a special place and we’re looking forward to seeing how our son enjoys it when he starts next year”.
