We are the UK's premier Early Years consultancy - for mock inspections, pre- and post-Ofsted support, training and much more. We are a tight-knit team of twelve consultants, based across the UK but who share the same vision and passion to help nurseries and practitioners to be the best that they can be and ready to face an ever-changing industry and meet the challenges that it brings. Our team are all either experienced Early Years inspectors, outstanding nursery operators or inspiring Early Years teachers. As a result we not only understand the most current structures and guidelines in place in the Early Years sector, but see both the very best examples of best practice and the most difficult issues facing providers on a daily basis. We can see your setting through the eyes of the regulator whilst at the same time working by your side to drive quality and excellence in your provision. It has never been a harder time to survive in the childcare industry. At Hopscotch we understand the financial constraints that are putting the sector under pressure. We work to ensure early years providers are sustainable whilst also creating a rich and stimulating environment for children. Our team have extensive management and executive experience and can ensure that your business runs as efficiently as possible without sacrificing quality. No matter what you and your settings need, Hopscotch can help. Our consultants have inspected thousands of Early Years provisions and Hopscotch have helped hundreds of settings to achieve their goals. As inspectors, we’ve seen the very best and worst of the sector – so we know exceptional practice when we see it. And as consultants, we’ve worked on every kind of project – from settings in danger of closure by the authorities, to settings who wish to offer something that has never been done before in Early Years, to settings that are just a twinkle in the eye of a person with a vision and a dream!

It may be a little later than usual but after (literally) not a single person has asked for it, we're excited to share our monthly map to show where we have supported nurseries last month (October)! We really do travel all over the country to offer in-person support! We're also excited to share that a number of our clients have had some very positive visits from Ofsted through October and early November - well done to everyone and good luck to those who are expecting it any day now!
