Hopscotch Regents Park

Regents Park is built around the children – and they know it. Their ideas shape activities, resources and even the food choices. Outside, a garden that genuinely feels like a slice of nature has squirrels and foxes for company, wooden hideouts, planting areas and space to run and imagine. Shelby the tortoise is a fixture of nursery life, and the city centre location means there’s always something new to explore.

  • My little boy has thrived in this setting. We are so happy with Hopscotch. They listen, take on feedback and make things happen. Thank you for everything- I totally believe you will make sure that my little boy will start school really well.

    Overall Experience Review from R P (Mother of Child) published on 15 January 2026
  • My Daughter started Nursery in October 2025, we are now 3 months in and she absolutely loves it! I love how all the staff know her and acknowledge her even if they aren’t in her room. They spend a lot of time outside in the garden (Any weather) together with all age groups which is fantastic. The garden is massive and has so many things for them to do. The menu rotates and the food sounds delicious which my daughter seems to enjoy.
    The Staff are so lovely and nurturing which as a mother who was very nervous about their child starting nursery is very reassuring.

    Thank you Hopscotch Regents Park Team for making the nursery transition a lovely experience for both of us.

    Overall Experience Review from Chloe B (Mother of Child) published on 13 January 2026
  • The staff here really take the time to get to know the children and they are very sensitive to my daughter’s needs. They are very willing to listen to any worries and help with particular learning tasks in preschool. The facilities are also well taken care of, with an amazing outdoor space which my daughter loves. The staff are always friendly and the management are always available and helpful.

    Overall Experience Review from Natalie G (Mother of Child) published on 13 January 2026
  • My child has been at this Hopscotch setting for almost 3 years and I’ve only ever felt positive about their time here. The staff are incredible – patient, caring, and genuinely seem engaged with every child. The setting itself is lovely and there’s always something for the children to do. Management are great, engaged with the rooms and children, and responsive if I’ve needed to contact them. My child happily tells me about their day and often talks about their ‘nursery adults’ as well as their peer group. It’s great to see them feel so comfortable outside of their home!
