hdc Newton Abbot This progressive and unique learning curriculum works to each child's individual abilities.

📍 Located in the historic market town of Newton Abbot
👶Offering full time & part time care for children aged 0-5 years old.
🙋🏻Qualified, passionate, and child-centred team
🏆 Part of 'Award Winning' The Old Station Nursery Group The HDC Curriculum encourages the natural desire to grow, explore and question and, as a result, our nursery educators strive to capture the interests of each child. As well as developing each child’s emotional skills, their day also includes a fun and enriching learning environment through play, science, technology, engineering, arts and maths (STEAM). Our highly-qualified early years educators help each child to develop their individual strengths and curiosity, and therefore each child is encouraged along the way. Our team take the time to develop trusting relationships with both the child and his or her family. You will receive updates through our easy to use app as well as the opportunity to catch up at the end of your child's day. HDC is a family of four nurseries located in the South West of Devon. We continuously upgrade our inspiring nursery environments because we believe a child's surroundings can help to develop their curious minds. We recognise that working and raising a child can be a difficult balancing act and therefore we offer childcare from 7:30am - 6:00pm and offer half-day additions to our scheduling to help you manage your busy schedule.

The Forest children have been gluing and sticking. The adult facilitated the activity by providing various craft materials and explained to the children how to use the glue correctly. The children practiced their fine motor skills by pinching the feathers and papers and they got to choose how they placed each item. The children shared the resources together and communicated throughout.

🍎 Healthy eating is about so much more than what's on the plate! 🥕

From exploring new textures and flavours to growing vegetables, preparing simple recipes and getting creative with food, there are so many ways to make healthy eating fun and engaging for little ones.

Our latest blog explores how everyday food activities can encourage curiosity, build confidence and support children's learning and development through play.

Food is more than a mealtime. 🍎

It’s trying new flavours, sharing stories around the table, learning where food comes from and building confidence to make choices for themselves.

At our nurseries, food is part of everyday learning. From growing and preparing ingredients to enjoying nutritious meals together, children have plenty of opportunities to explore, discover and develop healthy habits along the way.

Because mealtimes aren’t just about what’s on the plate. They’re about learning, connecting and growing.

The Forest children have been playing with roads and cars. The adult facilitated the activity by creating masking tape roads for the children to balance the cars on. The children used their fine and gross motor skills as well as practicing their hand eye coordination. They also used problem solving skills when the cars fell off the roads. The children worked out how to push the cars under the roads to then get them back.
