Welcome to Hillside Pre-School Verwood
At Hillside Pre-School, we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, which supports the learning, development, and well-being of children from birth to five years. The seven areas of learning are embedded into everything we do, ensuring that children develop key skills and knowledge in a fun, nurturing, and play-based environment. From communication and language to expressive arts and design, our experienced team ensures every child has the opportunity to thrive across all areas, developing curiosity, resilience, and confidence to learn.
Our setting offers flexible hours to meet the needs of families - please contact us to discuss the options available. We also run a Breakfast Club and After School Club for children attending both Hillside First School and our pre-school, providing wraparound care to support busy families.
We believe in creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome, and every child’s individual needs are respected and met. Together, we celebrate diversity, learn from one another, and foster a sense of community.
