I have been able to fulfil this dream of mine by having an amazing team of practitioners that are so passionate about their day to day role. We are always looking of ways in which we can improve our provision but It has been amazing to see so many children and their families leave happy and ready for school and every year we feel proud of all the things children have achieved with us.

Senior Practitioner - Level 3
First Aid Trained - Safeguarding Lead
Hello! I have been working at Hopscotch since 2011 and I am so happy here! I have a real passion for working with children and enjoy following the children's lead in exploring our imaginations and creativity (unleashing the child within me).
The children become part of such a wonderful family and I feel privileged to be a part of it. I really do feel that I have the best job in the world!
Jo - Rising 3’s
Senior Practitioner - Level 3
First Aid Trained - Safeguarding Lead
Hi, my name is Jo and I’ve been working at Hopscotch since 2019. Working with children runs in my family – as far back as my great-Nan! I believe that it is a real privilege to be involved in a child’s early years and that we, as practitioners, have a responsibility to begin that process of giving every individual child the confidence and belief that they can be anything they want to be, and doing anything they want to do.
At home I am kept busy by my young dog, cat and regularly caring for my baby niece and 3 year old nephew, but when I get the chance I love doing arts and crafts, being outdoors and reading.

Hi,
I have been working with children since 2015!
I consider myself to be a fun-loving character, passionate about children and being able to support them to have the best possible starts in life! In my spare time, I enjoy spending time in my kitchen, baking up delicious treats or if I’m not there you’ll find me out exploring a new city. I love to travel and would like to see as much of the world as possible!
