At Hilltop Nursery we offer an inclusive and welcoming environment and we strive to help every child reach their full potential by offering fun vibrant and interactive activities that the children can engage with. Each child in our care is respected as an individual and helped to feel safe stimulated happy and secure with staff. The Nursery is purpose built and offers great indoor and outdoor space for the children to explore. Children have opportunities to engage in activities in the sandpit digging area investigate water play develop climbing and balance skills and role-play in the play house provides a communication friendly space. Each child has a designated Key Person who welcomes and looks after your child from the first session and during the settling in process. This ensures that your child's individual needs are a priority to us. Reflective practice and self-evaluation are threaded into all aspects of our provision and our approach to early years' education is to provide a good balance between child and adult led activities. The adult initiated activities always take into account the interests and needs of the children and the group as a whole. Children are encouraged to be independent learners and activities are planned to be open ended with the aim to provide the children with a wide variety of opportunities and experiences which support the development of a firm foundation for learning including: promoting language and communication social interaction confidence independence curiosity motivation problem solving and attention. This provider has signed Gloucestershire County Council’s Agreement to take the free 15 hrs for 2; 3 & 4 year olds and 30 hours extended offer.
