We’re so pleased you’re considering Hilltoppers Nursery for your child. Choosing the right early years setting is an important decision, and we’re here to support you every step of the way. At Hilltoppers, we offer a safe, caring and engaging environment where your child can grow, explore and thrive from as young as three months old through to their fifth birthday.
Places and sessions
We have a total of 43 places available, split across our baby room (for children aged 3 months to 2 years) and our mixed-age toddler and pre-school room (for ages 2–5). We offer both funded and non-funded sessions, including the 15- and 30-hour funding options for eligible families of 3- and 4-year-olds. Funding can be used during term time, and a small contribution may be required for meals during funded hours.
Our sessions are flexible to support working families, and we’re pleased to also offer wrap-around care, including breakfast and after-school provision for nursery and reception-aged children.
How to apply
To apply for a place at Hilltoppers, simply contact the nursery or school office to request an application pack. We always encourage parents to come and visit us. You’ll have the chance to see our lovely setting in action and meet the team.
It’s important to note that attending Hilltoppers Nursery does not guarantee a place in reception at The Hill Primary Academy. If your child is due to start school, you’ll need to apply for a reception place separately, through the local authority.

We are proud to have been rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted, with particular praise for our children’s behaviour, confidence and the warm, supportive relationships they build with staff.
If you’d like more information or would like to arrange a visit, please don’t hesitate to get in touch—we’d love to welcome you and your child to the Hilltoppers family.
