BRAND NEW location coming to Fareham this spring!
From community connection and parent support to nurturing play spaces, workshops, wellbeing services and early years expertise, Hopscotch Ashcroft has been designed to help fmailies feel safe, supported and together.

The philosophy of Natal Bean at Hopscotch CIC is rooted in the belief that families thrive when support feels connected, welcoming, evidence-informed, and genuinely human. We recognise that modern parenting can often feel fragmented or overwhelming, so our aim is to create a calm and nurturing environment where families can access trusted support, community connection, and early years education...all in one not-for-profit place.

Through our partnership with Hopscotch Day Nurseries, we believe in blending high-quality early education with relational, preventative family support focusing not only on children’s development, but on the wellbeing, confidence, and connection of the whole family. Our approach is inclusive, non-judgemental, and grounded in research around child development, attachment, emotional wellbeing, and the importance of the early years.

At Natal Bean at Hopscotch CIC, our processes are designed to feel supportive, safe, and family-centred rather than overly clinical or transactional. We aim to create clear, consistent, and compassionate ways of working that protect children, empower families, and enable professionals and community partners to work collaboratively around each family’s needs.
Our approach combines evidence-informed practice, safeguarding, reflective learning, and continuous improvement to ensure every interaction, from welcoming a new family, to delivering sessions, signposting, partnerships, or nursery support, is relational, inclusive, and responsive. We believe good processes should create trust, reduce barriers, and make it easier for families to access the right support at the right time within a nurturing environment.
