Brightening Blue Monday with Pastries & Smiles!

Blue Monday – traditionally known as the "saddest day of the year" – can feel like a tough start to the week, but at Hopscotch, we’re flipping the script and turning it into a celebration of our incredible team. Today, we decided to surprise all of our staff working across our seven nurseries and head office with freshly baked pastries from Flour Pot Bakery and The Sussex Kitchen! 🥐✨

Small Acts, Big Impact

We truly care about the welfare and mental health of our team, which is why we focus on showing appreciation in meaningful ways. While a warm pastry may seem simple, we know that small acts of kindness can make a big difference in someone's day. It's those moments of recognition and care that lift spirits, boost morale, and help nurture a positive and supportive work environment.

We believe that by fostering an atmosphere where gratitude is shown regularly, we create a place where everyone can thrive – and that translates into the exceptional care we provide to the children and families who trust us.

Mindful Monday

So, this Blue Monday, we’re inviting everyone to take a moment to reflect on how small acts of kindness – whether towards ourselves or others – can bring a little light to our days. Whether it’s a thoughtful gesture at work, a moment of self-care, or simply taking time to appreciate the little things, turning this Monday into a Mindful Mondaycan help shift the focus from feeling blue to feeling grounded and grateful.

We encourage you to join us in spreading some kindness today. 💛
