  • 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.

Both our children have attended this nursery, and my youngest is still currently there. We are very happy with the care and provision she is given. She loves going and has built a good relationship with all the staff and other children there. She feels happy and safe, which is all you can ask for as
a parent.

Our boy loves Tynemouth Nursery! As do we as parents! The staff are excellent and always feedback on the day’s activities on pick up.
They regularly have weekly focused, for eg story week, (stickman) family tree, burns night, games, thanksgiving etc.
They cover literacy and numeracy, shape and
movement, colour wheel, letter formation, taking turns, talking about feelings, as well as outdoor learning.

My daughter has been attending Tynemouth Nursery for roughly a year and a half. The building itself is welcoming and warm. It reminds me of a home rather than a nursery. The rooms are big and bright and welcoming. The staff who work there are kind, caring and funny. My daughter loves going to nursery.
She has so much fun. She feels secure and safe and that is the most important thing for a mother, that they feel their baby is in safe hands and the baby themselves feels safe. There is a great, healthy variety of food. The outdoor space is big and has a little sunshade and a mini climbing frame and slide. There are also mud kitchen spaces. The extra activities are brilliant - from football to French. There is so much art and crafts and music. We feel lucky to have found this nursery.

Thanks for your lovely review. We are so pleased the nursery reminds you of a home; as this is one of the things we are so keen to achieve.

My first little boy who is now 5 and had the best start to his education at Tynemouth Nursery. He is now at school, extremely sociable and friendly which I put down to the relationships he built with both staff and children at Tynemouth Nursery.
My other little boy is 2 and attends Tynemouth Nursery
full time. He is also really settled at nursery and one of the best choices I have made is to send him to Tynemouth Nursery.

My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery at TN (Tynemouth Nursery). She is looked after by well qualified, kind and happy staff. The staff know her very well and I believe she is challenged, cared for and nurtured as she should be in a nursery setting. My daughter has flourished here and the staff
are always on hand to support her when needed. The activities provided during the day are well thought through, carefully structured and always have fun at the centre. I would wholeheartedly, and have actively, recommended Tynemouth Nursery to friends.

My first child attended since she was one and stayed all the way until Pre-school. She has started school with no issues, and that is down to the staff at Tynemouth getting her so prepared for the transition. The staff were immediately welcoming and supportive of both her and my needs. They take a genuine
interest in the children and their wider life and family. My daughter flourished and soon became a confident, independent and social child. She had many differing experiences, and I never doubted that she was being well looked after and more importantly having fun and learning. The building is so homely with excellent facilities, garden great for little explorers and outside agencies brought in for further development ( tennis/French/football/jitterbugs). Food is all fresh, healthy and varied ( better than I get). My 2nd child starts very soon and already feels part of the Tynemouth family. I did not hesitate to put her in Tynemouth as nowhere compares. Amazing staff and service.

This is a great nursery. They are always looking for ways to improve and new things to do with the children. All the staff are really caring, and I feel very happy about leaving my children with them. I know they are having a lovely day and are very well looked after. They do loads of lovely activities
including football, yoga, sing and sign plus trips out. They let them play outside as much as possible in the fantastic outdoor space which my children love. The staff are keen to help if you have any queries or concerns. All in all, we are very happy with Tynemouth Nursery.

I could not recommend Tynemouth Nursery more! My son has now been at the nursery for a year and he absolutely loves going. The staff are all fantastic and I trust them completely to look after my boy. The nursery provides an excellent environment for children to learn, play and socialise with other
children. They have regular visits from external activity groups that the children love and learn a great deal from and the meals prepared by the in house chef really are great. I am so pleased we chose this nursery!

My child was only here a short few months before she started school but she thoroughly enjoyed her time here. Staff were always informative and helpful. She was always full of excitement when we picked her up, telling us of all the fun things she did that day and the yummy food she had been offered!
I was impressed with all the extra activities that this nursery had to offer and that we were kept informed with pictures and information on her daily activities. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone, 5 stars.

My daughter has a complex genetic disorder which requires strict dietary requirements. The nursery initially worked very closely with us to ensure my child would be safely cared for while at nursery. I feel completely relaxed sending and leaving her which we have not felt from anywhere else.
All
the staff take an interest in each individual child and welcome the whole family.
Our child has developed greatly while attending the nursery.
She has experienced so many new activities and we are kept updated and supported.

I am so grateful to all the staff at the nursery, they are so helpful and very flexible with days and times. My son loved going there, they brought him on in so many ways ie friendships, learning a new language, hitting milestones. I was sad to see him leave to start his new adventure in reception.
The staff truly went above and beyond for me and my son.

Our son has loved his time at Tynemouth Nursery. He has really developed since starting 2 years ago. The staff are wonderful, rare to find little turnover, so you get to know them and so do the children. The house and gardens are lovely, and the activities keep the kids happily busy. Cooking, yoga and
French have been highlights. Nursery management is excellent. We couldn't be happier to recommend the nursery.

I have to say my wife and two girls have experienced only good things at Tynemouth Nursery. My four-year-old will be moving to school in September and all of her activities at nursery have made her confident to get started and meet other children. Our two-year-old has all of these activities ahead of
her, and I would not want to miss them. The staff are devoted and well trained and in my opinion, have gone beyond what is expected. A wonderful nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.859)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.859) 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.859 for Tynemouth Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (197 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 227 Ratings = 4.859

  • 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 19 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 19 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.
