Hillcrest Nursery

Welcome

The Northern Counties Nursery, has been established by the Percy Hedley Foundation in response to the need expressed by parents of disabled children for a specialist all day nursery for babies from three months to five year old pre-school children (7.30am - 6pm). We have more than 50 years experience of making high quality provision for children with special needs and our well qualified staff team can call on support from both Northern Counties and Percy Hedley Schools. As parents you can be totally confident that your children will be safe with us and all their needs will be fully met.

We welcome local children to our nursery which has been developed from the long established and highly successful Hillcrest Pre-School Group which ran on the school site. Our child centred approach ensures that your child will be well cared for and learn the key skills they will need. Our nursery is one of the few in the country to operate on a fully integrated basis to meet the needs of all of its children, whether or not they have physical disabilities, sensory impairments, or healthcare and nursing needs. We believe that all of our children benefit from learning and playing together with the structured support provided by our staff.

Our nursery is based within spacious and completely refurbished accommodation and has easy access to secure soft play and out door play areas. The school has extensive grounds which are enjoyed by all the children. Children with special educational needs will also have access to the excellent hydrotherapy pool. The nursery is divided into three areas for babies aged three months to two years, two to three year olds and a preschool section.

The nursery provides a wide range of respite services for children up to 8 years and their families - including day care and holiday provision, with nursing and therapy support.
