Our Vision

Putting children first - and leading the way in early years for over 37 years.

Caring for children is what we do

At Hopscotch, we believe childhood is precious - and it deserves to be protected, nurtured, and celebrated. Our mission is to create spaces where children feel safe, curious, and inspired to learn, all at prices that work for families.

Every Hopscotcher is cared for as an individual. We build calm, structured, and sociable environments where children feel confident and supported to grow. Our holistic approach nurtures their academic, social, and emotional development, giving them the skills and resilience they need for school - and for life.
