Childcare
The college has a registered child care centre on site which is available at weekends, half-term and holidays for a limited number of children aged 2 – 15.
Places with local Ofsted registered child-minders (off-site) may be booked for children under 2 years and over 11.
Hillcroft schedules up to three courses per weekend and places for children at the college are limited and are allocated on a first come first serve basis. Students wishing to bring children with them must apply in advance.
Arrangements are made about staffing levels for courses 10 days in advance of the course start. We must receive information about the ages and numbers of children by this time. If we have not received this information we may not be able to ensure childcare.
Children with special needs
Hillcroft’s aim is to support mothers to access learning opportunities at the college. If a student has a child or children with special needs we may need to organise additional childcare support. In order to ensure that we provide the best possible care, we would ask for as much information as possible about any particular needs 10 days before the start of a course.
