Hillside Nursery is a secure and safe environment where children develop a love of learning by learning through play in both the inside and outside environment. We encourage children to be independent and self-motivated learners.
We support children to achieve in the seven areas of learning following the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum as our guiding principle. When children start at Hillside Nursery we support them in developing their skills in sharing, communication and making strong and positive relationships with each other and the staff.
Every child is unique so we ensure they have experiences which respond to their individual needs. With this in mind we look at children's starting points and help them to achieve their next steps.
We are supportive of families and work closely with parents to support children in their learning. We create termly curriculum booklets for parents to support their child at home, hold parent workshops as well as have learn together mornings in the Nursery.
