May 12, 2020 at 12:00 amDue to issues at a previous nursery my son and I was not a black and white case and integration was a slow and painful one, we needed a small miracle and I was worried that Hilltop Tots might give up on us. They didn’t just go that extra mile for us they ran the New York marathon for us, exceeded all expectations and then just kept ongoing. They didn’t go above and beyond they went stratospheric and I am blown away by the support, patience and guidance they have provided to us as a family.
It’s a long road and we are only at the beginning of it but I know when I leave my little boy, he is given the same love, care and commitment that I myself would give. He has fun, is challenged and educated, he’s even learning a second language and he’s just turned 2!
So, would I recommend Hilltop Tots? One hundred million times yes, I would and with all of my heart. I would never take my son anywhere else! We are so incredibly proud to be a part of the Hilltop Tots family!!

May 12, 2020 at 12:00 amAn excellent nursery. Family orientated with the individual needs of each child met in a very caring environment. A high ratio of staff to children which gives each child the care and attention they require. Home-cooked food which the children enjoy. Extra activities such
as music, dancing and Spanish are provided without extra cost. My granddaughter loves attending this nursery.

May 12, 2020 at 12:00 amWe love Hilltop. This homely nursery is a little gem. My daughter is very happy at nursery. The activities and creativity of their learning and development is great and my daughter has flourished whilst in their care. She knows all the children and staff members names and will ask for them. She often doesn’t want to leave at the end of the day.
The care and commitment of the staff gives me confidence that I chose the right place. I get plenty of updates on her activities and progress and feel very included in nursery.

May 19, 2020 at 12:00 amMy young lad has attended the nursery since mid Sep 2019. It was undoubtedly the best decision I made with my wife to pick Hilltop Tots. Very professional staff greeted us with a lot of positive energy. When you enter this place you see kids with smiles and their happiness. This is the best recommendation or rather proof that every parent wants to get. I see lots of passion of the team which are running this place very well. What I am really impressed with and is worth to mention, those people want to make this place better and better! Every single comment is considered with attention. As a recommendation, I can say that during the lockdown my son is missing you guys so much. In the morning when we’re having walks he passes my car and wants to get in and go to your place! MAX SCORE!

May 28, 2020 at 12:00 amThis nursery is a wonderful place for all of the children. It is a home from home where the children get loads of attention and love. My son has been going since the nursery opened, he has come on leaps and bounds since then. The team are simply amazing, they are passionate about what they do and love every single child. They are always happy to see us and I feel I could not have put my trust in a better team to look after and teach my son. Parents are kept informed of everything our children are doing and learning and the team will help parents in any areas they are finding challenging. I could not have picked a better nursery, my son is so happy there and I look forward to my youngest starting soon too.

October 7, 2021 at 12:00 amIt has been a chaotic year, my son started nursery in January 2020 and even with all the out of control world issues Hilltop has gone above and beyond to not only keep themselves safe but also the children in their care. They have supported them in all areas and made sure during this time all children were given the best opportunity to continue to grow. Supporting them with their development and emotional needs and understanding and seeing each child as an individual and not just a number has allowed Hilltop to become like a second family who really does care about all their families.

October 7, 2021 at 12:00 amWhen our daughter started at Hilltop’s we were really nervous, after being in lockdown for so long and only really knowing mummy and daddy. The manager at Hilltops was friendly and understanding of our concerns. She allowed our daughter to have settling in sessions to ensure that she knew the nursery and the staff and felt comfortable with us leaving her there. The updates we get regarding the care of her help to ease my concerns and the photos of her settled. My daughter sees nursery as another home, she has settled in well, loves the manager and the team and never stops talking about them when at home. She loves going to nursery and it has been a joy to send her to Hilltops, I couldn’t have found a better place to send her.

October 13, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son attends Hilltop and he has a smile on his face every day that we drop him off and when we pick him up. The staff are amazing – very loving, accommodating and understanding. The nursery itself is homely and we see for ourselves how happy the children are to be heading in the door each morning.

October 13, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son has been attending the nursery for around 3 months now and I’m amazed at how far he has already come along. Previously he wouldn’t like leaving my side and would struggle with separation anxiety if I had to leave him even with family members. After 4 settling in sessions, he was happy to attend the nursery on his own which is a miracle. Sometimes he still gets a bit emotional at the door but all the nursery staff are friendly and willing to take their time welcoming him in on his off days. I’ve noticed his speech is developing quicker and he is even sleeping better in the evenings after all the adventures at nursery during the day! As soon as I pick him up he will be telling me lots of things that he has been up to in the day. His current favourite is messy play! Thank you to everyone at Hilltop Tots for taking the time to welcome him and for putting my mind at ease.

October 14, 2021 at 12:00 amHilltop is the best nursery in town, I 100% recommend it to anybody looking for a nursery for their children. All the staff are absolutely beautiful people, they are so welcoming, kind and friendly. I am so happy that my twin boys attend here, they adapted well to nursery life and the staff made it easier for my own worries ensuring me they were safe and well. My boys have come on so much since they started, they have learnt so much and their curriculum and guidance are excellent. Nothing is ever too much trouble for the staff. The manager is wonderful and should be so proud of her team and the wonderful work they do. They treat my children like their own and it is lovely to see how much my boys love going. The nursery is the perfect setting and has an outside area for the children to run around whatever the weather conditions

November 1, 2021 at 12:00 amWould 100% recommend Hilltop Tots to everybody. I was extremely worried about sending my daughter to nursery but the manager was absolutely brilliant and understanding of my worries and put me at ease.
My daughter adores going to nursery and very often doesn’t want to leave when I pick her up. She has the biggest smile on her face for whoever opens the door to her in the mornings.
I have no worries about taking her to nursery as I know she is in the care of beautiful people who she loves.
I’m so glad I found this nursery and wouldn’t want her to go anywhere else.

August 10, 2022 at 12:00 amHilltop Tots is simply the best nursery! We tried other nurseries but our little girl just could not settle, I think it can be just too scary for them going from a home environment to a large setting. However, that is what is so amazing about Hilltop, it’s so homely and welcoming. It’s big enough that our little girl is learning to interact with a group of children and is preparing for school, but it’s small enough that it’s not too intimidating. It’s the perfect step up before school and the high staff levels are just so reassuring.
Our little girl adores all the staff and it’s so good to see how much she has grown and developed since she has been here. The staff are all fantastic and spend so much time getting to know us as well as our little girl. They really involve us in her education.
It’s just so clear that the nursery is not just a business, it’s one big family where everything is done in the best interests of the children. I could not have wished for a better nursery!

September 23, 2022 at 12:00 amFrom 9 months old until today, my son has spent his time at Hilltop Tots Day Nursery and I wouldn’t change it for the world! Thank you so much for everything you have done. The memories made (not only with him but myself) I will never forget the day he was sick all over your entrance and myself but you just laughed it off like it was nothing or the day you ruined his hair with foam and I thought I would have to shave his head at a year old. I can laugh about it now, you have made such an impact on us all and we are forever grateful.

October 26, 2022 at 12:00 amI just couldn’t imagine a better place for my son to play, learn and have fun. My son has been going to Hilltop Tots since he was two, so just over 12 months now. He has come on so much with his speech, play and social skills. He tells me about all the fun he has had with his friends when he comes home and asks me every morning when he gets up every day if he is going to nursery today. All the staff are amazing, kind and give so much care and attention to each child, as well as providing support and help for me as a first-time mum. I’m so pleased to say they take the time to chat with how things have been throughout the day and celebrate with me all of my son’s achievements. Personally, I love the fact that the owner and the manager get involved in the daily activities with the children. It shows to me that the leadership values the education and welfare of the children in their care, and they support the other staff fully. Overall, I cannot recommend Hilltop Tots enough! Thank you.

April 19, 2023 at 12:00 amFantastic nursery! Both of my children have loved attending and talk about the children and staff with great fondness. The curriculum is varied and covers all of the EYFS areas and staff go above and beyond to ensure the children receive the best care and education.
