Outdoor Space

Our nursery has a large garden which hosts many activities like construction, messy play, science experiments and bug hunts. There are two activity zones which encourage independent play and allow our children to enjoy being outdoors all year round. We have a new wooden climbing frame which helps physical development and coordination. Our garden has something for every child, whatever their mood or their focus.

Located in a detached former home our nursery is warm, comfortable and inviting - with soft carpets, calming environments and cosy corners for every age group. Upstairs we have a glow in the dark sensory space room where children can relax and reflect and downstairs there is a two-level softroom with a ball pool and slide – perfect for energetic children who need to let off steam and bounce around.

All three of my children have attended Hopscotch Seven Dials and two of them are still there, experiencing the high level of care that this nursery provides. You really have the sense that the staff there know your child inside out and care about their development and their experience.

There is a real sense of professionalism but fun at the same time and I always know that when I drop my children off they will be well looked after.

Thank you all for all your hard work.

Both of our children go to Hopscotch Seven Dials and they are incredibly happy there. The teachers are brilliant and always think of creative ways to entertain and educate the little ones. The teachers tend to stay working there for years which shows that it is also a good place for them to work. I thoroughly trust them and know the kids are being taken care of very well. I would highly recommend them as a nursery.

Since joining Hopscotch when he was one, my son has enjoyed his days at Hopscotch Seven Dials. The emotional support the teams provide to the children throughout the day (and parents at tricky drop-offs!) is impressive and demonstrative of their genuine care and commitment to their roles and the children they look after.

The range of daily activities is huge, well crafted and thought through - both fun and rooted in supporting development. Feedback to us is always informative, pertinent and communication is brilliant especially between us and his key workers - who go above and beyond to keep us informed. We will always be very appreciative and grateful to the teams and management staff for making our son’s years before school so happy, rich and enjoyable.
