The best nursery! I recommend to my family and friends who are looking to put their children into nursery! The staff are lovely and so happy, my son loves it there, from being moved from a nursery after not liking it he settled in here straight away and he looks forward to going, as a mother that brings
me peace of mind knowing that he's enjoying himself!

Reply from Michelle Gorman, Manager at Teesdale Childrens Day Nursery

My baby has just joined in the baby room, the girls have gone above and beyond sending pictures throughout his morning and helping him to settle in, which is a big step for him as he's never been away from his parents. Nothing is ever too much and always ensure his allergies and routine is followed.

I couldn't recommend Teesdale Children's Nursery enough, they make my daughter and myself feel so comfortable, my daughter loves going and even talks about all the girls outside of nursery, she has become so confident, cheeky and funny and learns so much in this nursery and I'm so glad I chose the nursery
for my daughter as I don't think I could ever find better. The manager and all the girls here have helped me and have supported myself with the transition of my little one going into nursery as all new mums worry about their safety and we're now a year later and honestly couldn't give one fault with Teesdale Nursery.

My 9-month-old has only been attending this setting for two weeks, but the staff have been wonderful. She has some allergies and I'm used to most places not being able to provide for her, but when I mentioned bringing her own food in the nursery explained that wouldn't be necessary as they could meet
her needs. Everyone has been great so far and my daughter seems to have settled in really well in an incredibly short space of time.

Reply from Michelle Gorman, Manager at Teesdale Childrens Day Nursery

Thank you for taking the time to review nursery, we appreciate your kind words. We understand how difficult it can be with food allergies, but as a nursery we take each child's needs individually to ensure we can meet them and this includes their dietary requirements.

My 3-year-old daughter attends Teesdale Day Nursery and I can't thank the team enough for the love and care they show my daughter every day. Thanks goes to nursery manager and all the staff for going above and beyond to make sure the children feel safe and happy. The activities are creative, educational,
and fun, helping the kids learn while they play. My daughter has learned so much and always comes home excited to tell me about her day. I highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a stimulating environment. I couldn't ask for a better place for my little one!

Our 1-year-old son has thrived at Teesdale! The staff are so lovely and clearly care about all the children and their individual needs. Any concerns are reported to you straight away and nothing is too much trouble for them.
The nursery is very flexible regarding what days your child is in and regularly
send updates about childcare funding.
We looked at three nurseries before deciding on Teesdale and we have absolutely made the right choice. Worth every penny! Would 100% recommend.

The nursery and its staff go above and beyond the expectations of a business such as this. I've never felt an ounce of concern or worry when my son is in their care and appreciate the lengths the team will go to support him. They are especially brilliant with supporting SEN children and have really
helped me over the years with both signposting and support on access to elements such as DLA and help available for parents with SEN children. The staff are lovely, caring, and incredibly supportive, it's great to see my son develop under their stewardship. I'm grateful for all they have done to help him develop when at times we weren't sure of his strengths.

I couldn’t be happier with the choice of nursery for my son. The staff always have time for you and have made me feel so comfortable in leaving my son in their care. It is clear the positive impact the nursery is having on my son’s development and I look forward to picking him up and seeing how he’s
enjoyed himself. He always seems to be doing different activities and eating different foods.
It is clear the staff care about what they do and are fantastic at their jobs.

My daughter has just left Teesdale Nursery after two years. In that time, she has gone from an incredibly shy two-year-old to a confident four-year-old ready to start school.
The nursery was great with her, helping her to gain confidence and learn to interact with other children after the Covid lockdowns.
She loved going to nursery.
They were also excellent from a parent‘s point of view. All staff and management were approachable and friendly, and nothing was too much trouble.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.881)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.881) out of 10 for Teesdale Childrens Day 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 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.881 for Teesdale Childrens Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (307 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 344 Ratings = 4.881

  • 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 Teesdale Childrens Day Nursery is based on 29 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 62 number of registered child places is 12.4, which has been reached with 29 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.
