From the Hillside Day Nursery
The home where our Foundation site is located is part of the Kingswood Foundation Estate.
The Estate is a beautiful urban green place that kids will love exploring.
At our Potterswood location, we are fortunate to have a secluded forest area that both of our nurseries use for their Forest School lessons.
Our staff provides care for infants from six weeks to two years old in this cosy setting.
The ratio in the toddler room is 1:4.
Our group of sixteen preschoolers, ages 2.5 to 5, have a fun-filled day full of activities, playtime, and learning opportunities.
Our cook Jo prepares all of our wholesome meals right here on the premises.
Every four weeks, we rotate the menus for our two-course lunches and snack teas, taking special dietary needs into consideration.
Although it is already included in our session costs, once a child is receiving Nursery Education Grant Funding, the cost of lunch is charged individually.
By packing your child's lunch or tea in accordance with our advice for bringing food from home, you can avoid paying for food.
Our employees are passionate about offering top-notch childcare and education, and they take great pride in helping to mould each child's future.
Hillside has demonstrated genuine commitment and attention to meeting our son's special needs.
With employees receiving specialised training to better understand how they can help our son's progress, they have been able to encourage his improvement in speaking and walking thanks to their constant communication.
Since his first day, our kid has felt completely at home at the nursery and loves all of the activities, especially forest school, where students study and explore outside.
The staff is always welcoming, approachable, and thorough in their reports on our son's development and suggestions for improvement.
They successfully blend concern, enjoyment, and education.
My son has attended Hillside for almost a year and a half and I can not fault them!
I have great faith in them to look after my kid and make sure he's content and secure.
For the past year, my daughter has been attending the pre-school, and they have been wonderful with her.
I know she is in good hands the moment I send her off because of the exceptional level of care provided by every member of the staff.
She's going to school, and I hate to see her go.
I heartily endorse this daycare centre to anyone searching for a warm, loving environment for their children.
