Some words from our Managing Director
Hello and welcome to Hopscotch!
I'm Phil, the Managing Director here at Hopscotch Children's Nurseries. Founded in 1988 by my mother, Barbara, our nurseries have proudly cared for and educated thousands of children across Brighton and Hove and Sussex over the last four decades. We are proudly independent and this means we always have the best interests of our children, families and staff at heart – not vested financial interests. Hopscotch is more than just childcare; it’s a nurturing community dedicated to supporting children's development, happiness, and wellbeing.
As a father myself, with my own children attending Hopscotch, I totally understand the benefits of creating safe, stimulating, and joyful environments where children can flourish. Our passionate teams are at the heart of everything we do, consistently delivering exceptional care, warmth, and professionalism.
We're delighted you've chosen to explore Hopscotch, and I look forward to welcoming you personally to our vibrant community.
