My 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.
Thank you for taking time to leave a review, we are so happy you feel so pleased with the setting!
Hillside 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.
Thank you for leaving us a review! We love that your daughter enjoys sharing her nursery experiences with you at home!
Hillside Childcare & Out of School Club - Altofts is a lovely environment with a brilliant team of caring, friendly staff. We are so impressed with the app-based updates we receive on a daily basis. The team are very focused on child development and have really helped our son to blossom!
Thank you for such a wonderful review, these words mean a lot to our staff team!
For 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.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review!
My 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.
Thank you for taking to time to leave us a review! It means a lot to our staff team!
Best 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!
What amazing words! We are very proud of our setting and staff team, thank you!
My 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!
We are so pleased you are so happy, thank you for leaving a review!
Both 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.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We are so please you feel such a part of the Hillside family!
Lovely 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.
Thank you so much for your review, your kind words mean the world to us!
After 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!
Thank you so much for your kind words, they mean the world to our staff team!
Our 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.
Thank you for such a lovely review. We are so pleased you recognise our family feeling, it's just what we strive for!
Absolutely 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.
Thank you ever so much for leaving such a lovely review.
My 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.
Thank you so much for writing such a wonderful review!
Hillside 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!
Thank you so much for sharing your kind words. We pride ourselves on being a home from home for our families, and we are so pleased you feel so happy with us.
I 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.
Thank you so much for your kind words, we appreciate them very much!
Our 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!
It has been a pleasure to care for your little ones! Thank you very much for your kind words!
Wasn't too sure about not being able to go into the nursery when my child started (due to covid) but everyone made it easy for him to start. He has come out of his shell by being at Hillside Childcare and is constantly learning.
Thank you very much for your review, we are so pleased we were able to make the first transition easy especially around the Covid guidance. We are so happy to have our families back inside with us now too!
Our 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.
Thank you so much for the lovely review. Being a part of Hillside is about looking after the child but also reassuring parents too and making you feel at ease when going off to work!
The best nursery! All the staff are so friendly, trustworthy and professional. My little boy always comes home happy! My little boy had attended this nursery for quite a while and I’m so glad I chose this nursery. They have been nothing but nice and helpful. I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough. His key workers are fantastic. He adores them and always attends nursery with a smile on his face.
Thank you so much for your kind words, these really do mean a lot and we love to see the children happy and enjoying their time with us!
Fantastic nursery, staff are amazing and go above and beyond for the children and parents. They do fantastic activities linked with children's interests. The setting is a really good layout for children to play and have lots of fun. Would highly recommend.
Thank you so much for this lovely review, it means a lot.
