• Welcome to Hillside Pre-School

    We aim to deliver individualised learning, development and care, giving all our children the best possible start in life.

    Hillside Pre-School is a registered charty (No: 1019979) with a history of supporting our local community since 1977.

    Staff at Hillside Pre-School have a combined experience of over 40 years in childcare.  We are an independent charity a member of the Early Years Alliance. We receive advice, guidance and access to subsidised training via Bristol City Council, BAND and other government supported bodies.

    We are managed by Charity Trustees and receive our income via the Government Grant Scheme, fee paying parents and fundraising.

    Situated in the grounds of Air Balloon Hill Primary School, we are fourtunate to be able to use the school field, ballcourt and ampitheatre for some of our outdoor activities. 

  • Morning & Afternoon Sessions

    We are open daily from 9am – 3pm

    Morning sessions are 9am – 12pm

    Afternoon sessions are 12pm – 3pm.

    Children can attend for a full day (2 sessions) but will need to bring a packed lunch.

    We also ask that children bring a piece of fruit or a vegetable to their session that we can cut-up and share together at snack-time.  It can be fresh or dried fruit, vegetables or even breadsticks.  The children really enjoy trying new food in a social environment so any donations you can make are really appreciated.

  • Class Sizes

    Our classes take a maximum of 24 children at one time and we have either three or four staff members in every session, ensuring ratios of 1:8 are well maintained.
