August 23, 2022 at 12:00 amI could not be happier with Hillside Childcare. They are amazing and my daughter has come on so much since going. They are so inclusive and are always listening and incorporating activities from the families that attend. They have gone above and beyond for my family in difficult situations and we are so appreciative.

August 23, 2022 at 12:00 amOur journey with Hillside Childcare Altofts has existed now for the last 7 years, with both our children attending the nursery and now OOSC settings. Honestly, this nursery was the best decision we ever made! The staff go above and beyond to care for your little ones as if they were their own. The activities and the variations they provide are so much fun and they are so inclusive. I would genuinely recommend Hillside Childcare to anyone!

August 23, 2022 at 12:00 amOur son started at Hillside Childcare in September 2021 and he loves it! The staff here work incredibly hard to ensure our little ones have so much fun every day as well as learning. They often use the children’s interests to incorporate them into activities which is such a lovely idea. Our son has come on leaps and bounds starting here and would honestly recommend them to anyone. A child starting nursery can be so daunting but the ladies here made it such an easy transition not just for our son but for us parents too.

August 24, 2022 at 12:00 amHillside Childcare is such a brilliant, welcoming and nurturing environment for the little ones. Communication is second to none, and I can’t fault the nursery at all. My little boy has been attending for over a year now and absolutely loves it. The activities and equipment are always varied and exciting for the children, and the staff are patient and helpful with any questions you may have. They regularly ask for new interests displayed at home so that activities can be based on this, and this helps reinforce learning at home too. 5 stars isn’t enough!

August 26, 2022 at 12:00 amBoth my children have been attending Hillside Childcare for over 18 months. They have both grown and developed so much both in themselves and educationally. My children cannot wait weekly to attend nursery which makes me extremely happy to know I made the right choice in sending them to Hillside. The staff are absolutely incredible supporting both the children and parents, keeping you up to date with anything that goes on and making you feel a part of the Hillside family. I would 100% recommend Hillside to anyone looking for full time or part time childcare.

August 26, 2022 at 12:00 amLovely nursery. Thoughtful, attentive staff and curated activities structured around the children’s interests and development. Most importantly my daughter is enjoying her time here. Would highly recommend.

August 26, 2022 at 12:00 amAfter a rocky start with another childcare provider we moved my two-and-a-half-year-old over to Hillside Altofts in May. I honestly can’t sing their praises enough. They quickly put together a wonderful plan to help him settle in. They recognised straight away some key things to do to help handover on a morning be less traumatic. On a whole their engagement with parents is excellent, the effort they go to in getting to know each child and identifying learning areas is really impressive. I now have a little boy that gets excited to go to nursery and misses it on days off!

August 26, 2022 at 12:00 amOur son attends the nursery setting three days a week. All members of staff know my son by name and treat him as if he’s one of their own. His main caregiver within the setting is amazing. Always focusing on his interests and encouraging development. The whole setting gives off a family vibe. Never has my son had a bad day here. We are so pleased with their service and thankful for everything they do.

August 26, 2022 at 12:00 amAbsolutely love this nursery. Staff are friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Recently they have increased the size of the nursery which has created a better environment for the children. Since attending this nursery my little boy has come on leaps and bounds with his speach, numbers and socialising skills, plus the meals are cooked from scratch.

August 26, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter started at this nursery at 8 months old, now being two and a half I cannot thank them enough for supporting her growth and socialisation! My daughter has flourished within confidence from being here and will come home with such lovely stories of what she has been doing throughout the day, often bringing home some beautiful artwork too! The bonds formed with her key worker are extremely apparent and the way the nursery inputs things we have been doing at home is great too. I have so many lovely things to say about this nursery and I’m excited to hear the stories my daughter will bring home over the next couple years too.

August 31, 2022 at 12:00 amMy little boy loves this nursery, always has a huge smile on his face when he’s there. The staff are lovely, they keep you well updated and its nice to see what your little one gets up to whilst you’re at work! My little one’s nap times have become more regular, I can see how much he has progressed through his walking and saying more words, this nursery has made a huge difference!

January 17, 2023 at 12:00 amMy child has been attending Hillside Childcare for 18 months. She attends 4 days a week, and the growth and development apparent in her from day one was very recognisable: personal, educational and cognitive. My child gets excited for nursery and you can see how much she enjoys attending Hillside Childcare when you drop her off, which makes it a lot easier for me as a parent. The staff are amazing; no matter which room they are allocated within, they all know my child personally and she is happy with all of them. The updates are fantastic which makes sending her four days a week at such a young age much easier. They offer such varied activities, healthy meals and their devotion to the children and their development and enjoyment is obvious. They also consider families too: offering many family activities for parents to attend, which is lovely watching my child in the nursery environment. I would 100% recommend Hillside to anyone looking for full time or part time childcare.

January 17, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter loves this nursery and as her dad, I cannot express how much work and creative thoughts the staff put into making my little ones Wednesday every week. Both fun and learning, top marks from me and her, well done team.

January 17, 2023 at 12:00 amHillside Altofts is a fantastic nursery. Both of my girls have been here. Currently, my youngest is in the preschool room. She really enjoys coming and loves telling us about her day. The planning, care and time that the staff put into everything they do is brilliant. I would recommend this nursery to everyone. It has a homely, cosy feel and is very welcoming.

January 17, 2023 at 12:00 amFor the past two years both my grandchildren have attended Hillside Childcare & Out of School Club – Altofts the staff are friendly approachable and very caring towards the children and family members. One has now left and gone to big school but still attends the holiday club as he loves it so much.

January 17, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been at Hillside Childcare & Out of School Club – Altofts for a while now. And she loves to go. All the girls are amazing! She has come on so much while there. It makes dropping off our daughter easier knowing she’s happy.

January 17, 2023 at 12:00 amBest nursery around! My two absolutely love it here! They have come on so much whilst they have been attending Hillside Childcare & Out of School Club – Altofts! All the staff are lovely and could not do enough for the child and ourselves as parents from adding days to teaching our children everything they need to know! Definitely, one to try!

January 24, 2023 at 12:00 amHillside has been absolutely incredible for both my daughter and me. They are like family! A lovely personable team who are always striving for my daughter to be the best that she can be! Allowing her to fully explore her questions, grow in her own way and have plenty of adventure! The team keeps me up to date with all that my daughter gets up to at nursery and have even given us books to take home to help her understand difficult topics she has asked about! They are always happy and positive and happy to talk and have even given me help on the type of school structure that my daughter would best thrive in! They take the time to really invest in each and every child individually and are absolutely incredible in what they do! We love them! It’s the most fantastic nursery. My daughter has been so happy there (she attended 2 previous nurseries when she was younger and they don’t even come close!) Their activities are always varied and exciting and are always so engaging.

January 27, 2023 at 12:00 amMy children have been with Hillside for over seven years now and I’m so glad we have a great nursery and out of school club locally that our children love.
The staff are the key to this place being as outstanding as it is. They care so much for the children, my kids in particular have special bonds with certain members of staff and it really shows in how happy they always are there. The staff go over and above to make every day different and I feel comfortable going to work and dropping my kids off with these lovely people. The activities they do with them on a daily basis is fantastic. The variety of meals they get is great with fresh fruit always at their fingertips. The holiday club is awesome, they pack in a creative and fun-filled schedule each day which I know must take a lot of work to organise. I couldn’t be happier with the settings my children are at.
