  • Spring Nursery Blaydon, Blaydon-on-Tyne
Formerly known as Blaydon Day Care, Spring Nursery Blaydon is situated within the grounds of Parkhead Primary School.

Open 51 weeks of the year between 8:00 and 18:00 Monday to Friday. For eligible parents, the setting offers 15 free hours per week through two-year funding, together with the extended up to 30 hours available for three and four-year-olds.

An established staff team works hard to build relationships with parents/carers so that views are valued and are included in the child’s learning and development. Keyworkers plan activities which are developmentally appropriate to each child’s individual needs and interests providing reassurance in a warm, safe environment.

As a Spring nursery, the setting shares the aim to encourage every child to discover their own individuality and to learn about the modern world through play.

I couldn’t have found a better nursery for my son and daughter to attend. My son was just 10 months old when he started and I can see how much this nursery has brought him on, he really loves going! My daughter is 3 and has just started this week, she has done two sessions and is just in love with the
place! Keeps asking when she is going back! The setting is fantastic for the ages it caters for and the staff are absolutely lovely! We just love this nursery. Thank you for everything you do for my children, it’s really settling as a parent to know when you drop your kids off they are in good hands and are having so much fun!

Spring Nursery Blaydon has been so supportive and helpful with my son. He has separation anxiety and needs extra support to help him settle. They have been brilliant in helping us do his sessions in short sessions so he can get used to going. He is getting much better being there, and I feel fully supported
and confident they are helping him adapt.

Spring Blaydon are so supportive of my little boy, who has a developmental delay. From introducing him to the team last year where he refused to even open his eyes on a visit, we have seen so many changes in him. It's great to see the pictures of what he gets up to, and it’s lovely when the staff get
just as excited as us when he achieves something or does something new. It’s great that he receives so much encouragement, and the feedback at each pickup shows just how much the staff are also invested in him and his development.

My son absolutely loves going into the nursery. He always comes out smiling and is happy to go in, which is great to see. I'm always informed of his day and how he was, and the girls seem to have a genuine interest in him. Lovely nursery.

My son currently attends this nursery, as his older brother did 2-years ago. We moved house to a different area 3-years ago, but I would not change them to a different nursery.
The staff go above and beyond to help and support any situation, and their communication is fantastic! My son had been struggling
with some developments, which are now improving massively through the help of staff at Spring Nursery.
I feel more than happy and comfortable leaving my child in their care. I can't thank them enough for the help and support they have given to my children.

It's really hard to write a review on a setting that I have never been allowed to see. My child is often late to come out after her session and on drop-off, we are normally waiting around for up to 15 minutes. The staff are really polite and I love the occasional feedback we get via the app (although
this should happen after every session).

One of the best nurseries around! Not only has my little boy come on leaps and bounds since starting Spring almost 2-years ago, but they’ve also been very supportive within his life outside of nursery!
Brilliant staff and an amazing environment.

The staff at Spring Nursery Blaydon are all absolutely fantastic at their jobs. I've had two previous children attend this nursery, and my third and final also attends this nursery too! The staff are always happy to help with any issues and always have a smile on their faces upon arrival, which makes
it easier for the children to attend. I looked at previous nurseries for my first child, and the second I walked into Spring Nursery Blaydon, I knew it was the best place for my children to thrive.

My little girl has attended Spring Blaydon since September, she loves going to nursery and runs straight in once the doors open. The staff pay attention to her interests, and the app is great for seeing what they have been up to and the progress they're making.

My son started here in September and has settled in so well due to staff being so welcoming and supportive. He even asks if he can go to nursery on the weekend he enjoys it that much! Having regular updates from staff on the app is useful and puts your mind at ease. So glad we chose Spring for our little
boy!

My son has recently just started at this nursery and I could not be happier with the whole experience.
Leaving your child as a parent is really tough, every single member of staff have gone out of their way to make myself and my son feel comfortable while going through this new change.
My son is
comfortable and already has a lovely bond with his key worker. I am over the moon with this nursery and really look forward to seeing my son grow and excel here. Thank you all so much for making this transition easy and relaxing.

I can't fault this nursery in any way. They have given me the confidence and reassurance I needed. Both my children attend Spring and they both love it. My son needs extra support in various areas and the staff have worked alongside myself and professionals to make sure he reaches all his targets. My
daughter has thrived so much, once was very shy but now she is the most confident happy little girl. I can't thank all of Spring staff enough. Brilliant.

My daughter has been attending Spring Blaydon since she was around 18 months old. My husband and I decided when I returned to work that a nursery setting would work best for her as she was quite a quiet, timid little girl and we wanted her to mix with other children of a similar age.
She has come
on so much since she started, thanks to the support and encouragement of the staff. She has the chance to explore a wide range of activities and this is reflected in her play at home; she is growing in confidence all the time, it’s lovely to see.
The nursery have been great with our dietary requirements for our daughter and she enjoys a wide range of nutritious foods and snacks. She looks forward to going into nursery to see her friends and her key person every day. As parents, it’s important to us that our daughter is happy in her childcare setting, as she spends a great deal of time there, and she is. We would recommend Spring Blaydon without hesitation to other parents.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.932)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.932) out of 10 for Spring Nursery Blaydon is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.932 for Spring Nursery Blaydon is calculated as follows: ( (234 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 249 Ratings = 4.932

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Spring Nursery Blaydon is based on 21 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 54 number of registered child places is 10.8, which has been reached with 21 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
