  • Tynemouth Nursery, North Shields
Located in spacious gardens in this former prestigious family home on Preston Avenue, Tynemouth.

The building just oozes the homely feel that the local owners were so determined to achieve in all settings.

With six base rooms for the children along with an imaginary room and large outdoor play area Tynemouth Nursery, recently refurbished and re-equipped in 2018, offers a catalyst of activities to enable children to learn through play and fulfil potential.

The nursery is proud to have the prestigious Millies's Mark accreditation awarded in 2018, having this award demonstrates the nursery's commitment to going above and beyond the minimum requirements for keeping children safe.

All staff working directly with children not only hold a paediatric first aid certificate but are also competent in how to apply this in practice.

With lots of extra activities such as French, football, yoga, sing and sign and regular trips plus digital learning journals, state of the art door entry systems and fully qualified early years teacher Tynemouth Nursery has so much to offer.

We can't recommend Tynemouth Nursery highly enough. Our daughter started at 9 months old and has stayed for preschool and our son has recently started at 9 months old. We have been so impressed with the care shown to both our children, from initial settling-in sessions and beyond. The staff and management
team are amazing, and genuinely care about all the children. The nursery is a happy environment to walk into and the staff are always smiley, friendly and show a real interest. We have been really impressed by the extracurricular activities that the nursery has offered including music, ballet, football, rugby and tennis! The staff have lots of engaging activities planned every day and it has been really amazing to see our children's development during their time there. We love getting updates on their day via the app and receiving detailed observations and assessments to show their development too.

We have entrusted both of our daughters to Tynemouth Nursery and we could not be more impressed with the exceptional staff. They consistently go above and beyond to create a warm and welcoming environment for all the children.
One member of staff, in particular, is one of the kindest individuals we
have had the pleasure of meeting. The way our little girl eagerly greets her every morning speaks volumes about the care and nurture she provides. Four other staff members are all outstanding in their roles and we are truly grateful for all they do. We consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to have one member of staff as our daughter's teacher. Your wonderful persona and unwavering commitment to the children are nothing short of amazing.

The staff at Tynemouth Nursery are all so lovely. The nursery always has the warmest, most welcoming feel to it. All the staff are so polite, kind and helpful and take such good care of the children. You can see they have genuine, strong connections with them and this isn't just the staff in the actual
rooms, all staff at the nursery are great with the children. I'm so pleased we chose this nursery for our son and wouldn't dream of sending him anywhere else.

Tynemouth Nursery has been a very welcoming and warm environment for my son. He found it challenging to adapt to a nursery environment, at first, but the staff have all been kind and supportive. They keep in regular contact with me, throughout the day, and always are so calm and collected. The activities
my son partakes in at the nursery are also lovely and different to what we would do at home. I would highly recommend this nursery if you are looking for somewhere with a warm and homely feel.

Starting our girls off at nursery was heart-wrenching as you don't want to let go but picking this nursery has been the best decision for them and us as a family. Our girls are 2 and 3 and are absolutely thriving and flourishing here. The staff are better than you could wish for and have formed gorgeous
bonds with our girls. The love and care goes above and beyond any expectations we had. We are always asked by our girls if the staff members can come to our house for tea! They'd be very welcome. Can't recommend this nursery enough.

We absolutely love Tynemouth Nursery on Preston Avenue and our children do as well. They have come on so much since joining a year ago and are both so excited to see all staff, they are welcomed with big smiles and hugs from everyone who works there as soon as they come in the door and always greeted
by name even if the children aren't in their room/class. The staff are very communicative with us and take on any request we give. They are constantly doing new activities in their room and getting lots of time outside. We're also really pleased with the varied meals they receive.O verall, very happy we enrolled the girls here!

Our son has been attending this nursery since January 2024. Looking back, we had a slightly shaky start as he didn't love being left straight away (which child does?), and with our second invoice we received notice of a price increase - perhaps the latter could have been handled better, or perhaps it
was just a sensitive time for us. That's about it for the negatives, so let's fast forward to present day; he loves the place and particularly the staff. The nursery have taken care to adjust his key worker to meet his learning and emotional needs, the wider care for him is exemplary and his welfare is at the heart of the service. It feels very much like the staff are passionate and take genuine joy in helping him develop. An important point is that if there are any concerns (a rarity), the management are responsive and accountable. Our warmest thanks to the staff and unreserved recommendation to prospective parents and children.

This is a fantastic nursery with amazing staff who have helped my daughter settle into the nursery with ease. My daughter loves going to nursery and is always cared for to a high standard. The activities offered are always very creative and promote all areas of development. There is a wide variety of
foods offered which has really helped my daughter with her weaning journey. As a parent returning to work after maternity, it is reassuring knowing my child is in safe hands and has a fun day! Thank you to all of the staff at TNG!

My son goes to Tynemouth Nursery one day a week which has been a hard routine to adjust to. The staff have done everything they can to help him settle. He now walks in with arms open wide. The staff are all friendly and kind and they all know him not just the staff from his room. I am confident he is
well cared for and happy whilst there. They offer a range of activities that meet his developmental needs and his social, language and motor skills have greatly improved whilst attending. The outdoor garden is a great space and the catering team do a great job.

The staff provide a safe, nurturing environment at Tynemouth nursery. They go above and beyond organising a wide range of activities for the children. My daughter has thrived and some of this is down to the excellent support, care, and education given at nursery. For over 3 years, Tynemouth Nursery
has been an extension of our family.
The catering is great, the menu is changed at varying times throughout the year and it is excellent.
Overall keep doing what you do, you are great.

My son left Tynemouth Nursery at Preston Avenue two weeks ago due to him starting school nursery in September. I have been really happy with the care that my son received. The staff are always very welcoming and friendly and I feel they cared a lot for my son. The nursery often has party days or themed
days and celebrates a lot of festivals and events, which I feel is very important. The staff provide a range of new activities and my son always enjoys the outside space, which is lovely.


I feel that communication is excellent, I am able to log in and see what my son has been doing during his nursery day. This is updated frequently. The observations and assessments the staff complete show how well they know my son and understand his interests. My son had a lovely relationship with his key worker and she was often there at drop-off or collection.
I have been very happy with the care my son received and my younger son has just started in the baby room.

Tynemouth Nursery has been absolutely wonderful for our daughter.
Every day she would wake up asking for her teachers and little friends. She goes in happy and leaves with a big smile on her face, after a day full of adventures.
Couldn't have wished for more. The food is homecooked and super delicious.

My son has attended the nursery for 3 years and has loved every minute.
The attention and care the children get is second to none along with the activities they do, the outside garden space they have to play in, the selection of food they offer and the day trips they go on, my son has thrived because
of all of this.
Tynemouth Nursery has been the perfect place to prepare for school in September.

My daughter has thoroughly enjoyed her first few months at Tynemouth Nursery. The staff are friendly, welcoming and patient and it is clear our daughter has a strong bond with them as she looks forward to going in each morning. Communication, both in-person and via the app, have been excellent and we

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.862)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.862) out of 10 for Tynemouth Nursery 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 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.862 for Tynemouth Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (208 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 239 Ratings = 4.862

  • 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 Tynemouth Nursery is based on 20 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 75 number of registered child places is 15, which has been reached with 20 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.
