Hillside House Nursery is a Pre-school and Nursery offering a comprehensive and exciting curriculum for young children from birth to five years of age. We are open 51 weeks of the year and our operating times are Monday to Friday from 7:50am to 6.00pm. In setting up Hillside House Nursery we have considered what we would want for our own children. We would all wish for our children to be happy, fit and healthy, confident and secure, sociable, kind and caring to others, independent with a clear idea of right and wrong, eager to learn and a big sense of fun.
There are five main play rooms with all the latest play and learning equipment to cater for children aged birth to five years old. We have our Baby Room, Acorns Room, Oaks Room, and Pre-School 1 & 2. The environment reflects our strong commitment to learning through play. The nursery has created a very homely welcoming atmosphere. We also have full access to our large back garden, to our onsite Forest Garden and a small farm.
We understand that modern family life can be very busy! It is not always possible to take children out for a walk or to the park as often as you would like. Hillside House Nursery is an outdoor haven for children. The setting is set in a beautiful rural location in Shropshire. You can feel happy that your child is getting plenty of fresh air throughout their day at Hillside House Nursery. We have seen the benefits to the children’s health and wellbeing and how learning can be enhanced greatly by using our outside ‘classrooms’
Please let us know of any health problems that your child may have, so we can make any necessary arrangements for them. If your child should have an accident or fall ill during their time at nursery, there will always be a first-aid qualified member of staff to hand who will be able to care for your child until further expertise is available.
All accidents and reportable illnesses will be recorded and filed accordingly. You will be informed immediately of anything serious, and on arrival you will be asked to read and sign an accident form detailing exactly what happened.
We have comprehensive security, fire, health and safety and safeguarding policies in place, so please feel free to request them. Please be assured that your child’s health and safety is of paramount importance to us.
