Michelle Macey
Nursery Manager – Nursery ManagementHi, I am Michelle Macey, the Manager of Hopscotch, Gosport. I've been with Hopscotch since 2022, when I joined the Fareham nursery as Deputy Manager to cover Maternity leave.
I am committed to supporting my team in providing outstanding care to your children, and to their own professional development through in-house training or formal studies.
With an established, caring and committed team, I enjoy my job every single day. I get to see babies take their first steps through to tearful goodbyes to our children joining school, knowing that we have supported each individual child in developing to their full potential.
Hopscotch Gosport was our very first nursery, and it's the one that is close to all of our hearts. The building is a historic Naval guards house which Freya converted in 2005, and we've maintained deep connection to many Navy families in the area over the years. With a child centred and spacious layout, we can ensure that children enjoy and achieve in all areas of learning. Our outdoor environments are welcoming and engaging and offer ample opportunities for children to express their independence and creative skills.
The layout of the nursery allows for total free flow from indoor to outdoor areas with each of our playrooms having direct access to the outdoor environment. This allows our dedicated childcare team to follow and enhance children’s own interests and, in turn, means that children are engaged in their play and learning.
My team and I are here to support you and your family every step of the way from the first settling in sessions, weaning, potty training and on to school. As a mother, I know first-hand how important it is to be supported through the early years journey our children take.
