About this day nursery

South Hills Nurseries, established in 1993, began its journey in converted farm buildings on the Wilton estate, focusing on a holistic approach that blended Montessori methodology with exceptional care and an appreciation for the outdoors. Since 2009, the nursery has expanded significantly, opening ten additional locations across Wiltshire, some of which are integrated with Primary Schools, Academies, and Children’s Centres, ensuring widespread access to high-quality childcare within local communities.

The group's dedication to excellence was recognised in 2018 when they proudly received the Nursery Group of the Year prize at the NMT Awards, a testament to the hard work and commitment of their teams. The nurseries are committed to safeguarding children, families, and staff through comprehensive policies covering health and safety, behaviour, equal opportunities, information and records, curriculum, and suitable personnel.

They strive to foster curious minds in inspiring environments for children of all ages, with a mission to nourish each child's sense of wonder and share in their excitement as they explore the world.
