Hopscotch Titchfield

Titchfield has the quiet confidence that comes with nearly two decades of practice. The leadership team – manager, deputy, cook and room leaders – has been here for years, and that continuity shapes everything: familiar faces, trusted routines and relationships with families that often span more than one child. Set in a semi-rural location with a rich outdoor space, it’s a nursery where children know exactly where they belong.

A word from…

Cat Dolton Nursery Manager

Hi, I’m Cat. I’ve been with Hopscotch for over 10 years, starting as an Assistant Practitioner in the Under 2’s room and working my way up to Nursery Manager. As a mum of two, both of whom attended Hopscotch settings, I know how much it matters to find somewhere that truly feels like home. Our team is passionate about making every child feel safe, valued, and inspired. I’d love to show you around and introduce you to the team.

What our parents thinks...

  • Anna, Cat and their team are amazing we changed our daughter to hopscotch and from day 1 we saw a massive difference. They are so good with her as she has extra needs they also communicate with us about how she is getting on from day to day

    Overall Experience Review from Jamie B (Father of Child) published on 28 October 2025
  • My little one has been attending Hopscotch Titchfield for a year now and I couldn’t be happier. My daughter started on Toddlers room last year and has recently moved onto preschool. The staff members are kind, supportive and knowledgeable. They’ve helped her settle in nicely and I was given regular updates regarding her progress. The key workers have taken time to built a positive rapport with her allowing her confidence to grow. She clearly trusts them and feels safe in a environment that allows her to explore and develop. I’d definitely recommend this nursery.
    A big Thank you to Anna, Cat and the whole Titchfield team!

    Overall Experience Review from Raquel B (Mother of Child) published on 22 October 2025
  • We feel so lucky to have found this nursery for our two boys. It’s a lovely, small and welcoming setting where everyone knows each other; children, parents and staff alike. The team are lovely and you can really tell they enjoy what they do. Staff turnover is rare, which gives the children so much stability and comfort.
    What stands out most is how much the staff genuinely care about the children. They always go above and beyond to help, and they do it in such a kind, non-judgmental way. There’s always something fun happening – from themed days to family events – and the sense of community is just wonderful.
    Our boys have thrived here and go in happy and excited. We couldn’t ask for a better, more nurturing place to start their early years

    Overall Experience Review from Aoife M (Mother of Child) published on 16 October 2025
  • Honestly could not recommend this nursery enough from taking the time to talk me through how tax free childcare work because I didn’t understand it to listening to any question I have no matter how many times I ask all staff are amazing! And the care they provide to the children is the best you could ask for my little one always goes in smiling and waving and comes out the exact same sometimes she doesn’t even want me to take her home everyone is so friendly and lovely. So glad I picked this nursery

  • I’ve now got my second child at Titchfield Hopscotch and I could not recommend them enough. All of the staff are just lovely and brilliant with the kids – what’s even nicer is that now my youngest has the same keyworker my eldest did (who we love!) but honestly everyone there is brilliant and I trust with my babies. Both of my boys love going in to nursery, and it’s because of the welcoming home-from-home feel. My eldest who has just started school was there for 4 years, and my youngest started last month. Also the food they get (which you try on parents evenings) looks so good and both of them eat everything including food they wouldn’t even touch at home – of course!! Great communication, friendly, clean and also as a forces family they are always really supportive when dad is away (to the kids but also to me which is so appreciated!).
