About Us
We are caring for the most important and vulnerable person in your life and you have the right to expect the highest standards from us. Spanning across the north and south of Wiltshire, the only way to understand the unique nature and happy atmosphere of our nurseries is to come and see them for yourself.
Our Nurseries
South Hills Nurseries was originally established in 1993 in the secluded countryside, in converted farm buildings on the back of the Wilton estate. Our first nursery had a holistic approach, combining Montessori methodology with fantastic care and a love of the outdoors.
Between 2009 and 2018, we have opened nine further nurseries throughout Wiltshire, some of which are linked to Primary Schools, Academy’s and Children’s Centres. This ensures we are providing outstanding care to all members of the local communities
In 2018, we took the Nursery Group of the Year prize at the NMT Awards, a testament to all the amazing work our teams are doing throughout the country. We are very proud of them all and this recognition is well deserved.
Mission Statement
‘South Hills Nurseries are dedicated to developing curious minds from the tiniest to the
tallest members in our awe inspiring environments.’
Our ultimate goal is to nourish each child’s sense of wonder by experiencing and gazing at the world with them. They help each one of us to share in their excitement and see it through their eyes.
South Hills also recognises that the learning journey is not just for the children. Together, the staff grow and learn and this comes from a workplace of trust, respect and admiration.
