Hallfieldfirst provides an excellent introduction to life at Hallfield.


Care is provided by dedicated staff 51 weeks of the year (weekdays only, excluding Bank Holidays) from 8.00am until 6.00pm.


We understand the pressures you can face as working parents and do all we can to provide a caring, happy, safe and stimulating environment for your child.


Parents and carers are regarded as the most important people in the child’s life and by developing a partnership with you we can offer your child security and continuity of care.


OUR NURSERY AIMS: • To provide a caring, happy, safe and stimulating environment in which children will be given opportunities and experiences to develop to their full potential

Staff spend one to one time with key children with attention being given to the individual needs of your son or daughter. All forms of play are educational and are part of the EYFS.
