17th November 2013 This is the place that you'd want every child to experience ... it the perfect haven of early learning. If you have an opportunity to send your children - especially the 4 year old sessions, you will be overwhelmed by the warmth and knowledge of the teachers as they help your kids prepare for the next step. I nearly cried on Tim's last day saying goodbye to Kathy and Margaret ... however, we have a second child and she'll definitely be heading this way too!

25th January 2013 Our daughter has been going to Hillsborough Preschool for morning sessions, and over 4 year old sessions aswell since her birthday. She loves it. The programmes provide structure, free play time, art, mat work, writing and games. The over 4 programme focuses on reading, writing and maths in a creative and positive way - getting them ready for school. She is so proud of her 'homework' and her portfolio is great. The teacher/child ratio is fantastic, there is always so much going on - it is very creative, the staff are all lovely, the environment is quiet, friendly, calm, and highly educational. It's a great start for her.

28th May 2012 Hillsborough Preschool has given both of my children a fantastic start. The standard of care is high and the activities are fun and educational. Unlike many kindergartens, there are lots of structured learning activities - particularly for the 4yr old afternoon sessions - it's not all just free play. The teacher to child ratio is high so the opportunities for learning are great.
