Hopscotch Ranked in Sunday Times Top 100 for Apprenticeships

We’re thrilled to announce that Hopscotch Children’s Nurseries has been ranked No. 49 in The Sunday Times Top 100 Apprenticeship Employers 2025.

This prestigious list, compiled by High Fliers Research for The Sunday Times, celebrates the UK’s standout apprenticeship employers — recognising those who are creating real opportunities, building diverse teams, and supporting apprentices all the way to qualification.

At Hopscotch, we believe apprenticeships are more than just a route into the workplace. They’re the foundation of brilliant careers in early years education. From day one, our apprentices are right there with us — learning on the job, building their skills, growing in confidence, and becoming an integral part of our team.

Being recognised nationally for our approach to apprenticeships is a proud moment. It reflects the dedication of our managers, mentors and apprentices across every Hopscotch nursery — and the shared commitment to learning, development and care.

We’ll continue to invest in our apprentices and support the next generation of early years educators, helping them shape futures — including their own.
