Hadden Hill Nursery & Preschool

Hadden Hill Nursery & Preschool has been providing exceptional childcare for many years and has built a strong reputation for offering high-quality early years education.

Our nursery is known for its warm, caring team and small, friendly environment where children feel happy, supported, and excited to play, learn, and explore every day.

Age Groups

Nursery

Babies up to 18 months and Toddlers up to 30 months.

Preschool

From about 30 months to 5 years.

Our Nursery

Our dedicated team in each room specialises in supporting children at every stage of their development. We take the time to really get to know your child, their routines, preferences, and unique personality.

Our Preschool

Our Preschool welcomes children from around 30 months until they start school, with separate Lower and Upper Preschool groups to support each age and stage.

At this point, we gently introduce more structure into their day and encourage growing independence, helping children develop the confidence and skills they need for a smooth, happy transition to big school.

Nutritious and Healthy Food

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5-Star Rated

Our chef prepares fresh, home-cooked meals every day, healthy, tasty dishes that children absolutely love! Even our fussy eaters enjoy exploring new flavours.

We introduce a wide variety of foods from different cultures, including familiar favourites like fish pie and mild curries, while always carefully accommodating food preferences and intolerances.

We are proud to support local producers, sourcing most of our fresh ingredients from nearby growers.

Learning and Development

Our team truly love what they do, and this warmth shines through in the care and learning experiences we provide every day. Each child has their own Key Person who observes their play, understands their interests, and plans engaging activities that help them grow with confidence.

Our Hadden Hill setting is designed to support children at every stage, offering:

  • A large rural garden with plenty of space to explore

  • Bright, welcoming rooms tailored to each age group

  • A wide range of toys, learning resources and imaginative play opportunities

Children have the freedom to discover, experiment and learn through active, creative play, both indoors and outdoors, every single day.

What Parents Are Saying About Us

I love picking my son up as he's all smiles and full of tales of his day. I'm always amazed at how often he chats at bed time about what he has been learning. The outside space is fantastic for all ages.

E Rudman

I have been particularly impressed with the pre-school class which provides an outstanding level of basic education far superior to that my son receives when he attends a preschool elsewhere for two days per week.

S Worsley

My son has learnt so much and is always talking about his friends at nursery and what he does there. Where else would a child get to roll around in jelly!!
