Wild Hill Hall

Apple Daycare Ltd opened Wild Hill Hall in October 2024.

It is a wonderfully appointed indoor space with the added benefit of access to the fields out side.

 

Care is provided for Children from birth to five years [the term after the child's 5th birthday]. ​

​

We accept 15 & 30 Hours Funding, as well as private funded hours

which can be added to increase the number of hours you would like us to care for you little one.

Wild Hill Hall is managed by Olivia Harrison (L4) and she is ably assisted by Harriet who is L4 and currently undertaking the CERTSEY training to become a qualified SENCO.  The other members of staff are L3, L2 and apprentices training for L2 and L3.

 

Our in-house chef's Anna and Emma who prepares a variety of fresh home cooked meals each day and many baking activities with the children.

​

At Apple Daycare, our curriculum is broad, balanced and designed to inspire curiosity, wonder, excitement and a sense of adventure. Our dedicated key workers work tirelessly to meet each child’s individual needs, creating engaging play experiences that are thoughtfully differentiated. Through skilled support and guidance, they scaffold learning, helping children to solve problems, embrace challenges and develop confidence in taking risks within their play.

​

We provide a carefully considered balance of adult-led and child-initiated activities, underpinned by high-quality teaching and a robust framework that prepares every child for the next stage of their journey. This includes those moving on to school, as well as children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. We celebrate diversity and recognise the strength it brings to our community, where children learn, play and grow together in an inclusive environment.

​

Our Forest School programme forms an important part of our approach, offering rich opportunities for children to connect with nature and develop an understanding of the environment. Led by Louise, our sessions take place twice a week and provide pre-school children with meaningful outdoor learning experiences, encouraging exploration, resilience and a lifelong appreciation of the natural world.

​

There are areas of development that the government expect children to be supported in.

These prime areas include; Personal, Social and Emotional Development, Physical Development Communication and Language Development, Specific areas Include: Maths, Creative Learning, Expressive Art and Design, Understanding of the World and Literacy.

We as practitioners will incorporate all of these areas of learning into each child’s daily routine, giving each child the opportunity to develop in every area at their pace.

​

We encourage a mixed age group where younger children will learn from and feel valued by the older children and the older children learn empathy and responsibility whilst in the company of the younger ones.

Key workers endeavour to make sure that all activities are tailored to be age and stage appropriate.
