Ofsted Outstanding & Good Nurseries
Hopscotch has four nurseries in the city of Brighton & Hove. This includes our preschool in Brighton located in Preston Park, and our three nurseries in Hove that are situated in convenient locations for working parents. We also have nurseries located in East Sussex in the towns of Peacehaven and Seaford. All of our nurseries cater for 0-5-year-olds and include preschools which set an excellent foundation for the transition to school.
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) sets the standards for all early years providers. It ensures children learn and develop well whilst being kept healthy and safe. The EYFS consists of seven key areas of learning which guide the work of our practioners. These are:
- Communication and Language
- Physical Development
- Personal, Social and Emotional Development
- Literacy
- Mathematics
- Understanding the World
- Expressive Arts and Design
All of our activities and procedures are child centred and planned to support the development of children’s individual needs at their own pace.
Our nurseries are thoughtfully equipped to promote the highest standard of care and education. They are regularly inspected by Ofsted and our learning programmes are planned within EYFS policy. Tapestry Learning Journeys offer early years settings a way to record their children’s special moments and help parents be involved in partnership as their children blossom and grow. All children attending have a personal online learning journey which records photos, observations and comments, in line with the EYFS, to build up a record of their experiences during their time with us.
Hopscotch also offers a range of peripatetic classes in Spanish and the Harmonica which further enriches the children’s learning and contributes to the EYFS framework by providing the children with the confidence, skills and knowledge they need to start school.
