My daughter has been attending this nursery since she was 9 months old she's now 3.5 years old and still loves it just as much! Staff are very friendly and approachable, homemade meals for lunch every day and picnic type tea on a later afternoon, my daughter is very comfortable here, will be sending
my youngest when I go back to work next year

My son absolutely loves going to nursery. I was worried as this was his first time in a nursery but all the staff at Teesdale Childrens Day Nursery made us both feel so welcome. He has created incredible bonds with both the children and the staff. The first thing he says when I pick him up is I had
so much fun today - this speaks for itself, he loves it so much! I can't fault the nursery for anything, everything is amazing.

Absolutely amazing staff. I could not ask for more caring, loving staff. As a mother of three children who have attended over the span of 20 years, with the same staff looking after them, that is certainly an achievement. A big plus on staff retention. Dropping the children off at nursery has been
like leaving them at home with family. I can go to work worry-free in the knowledge my child is being looked after by the fantastic staff! The staff are an absolute credit to the nursery!

Reply from Michelle Gorman, Manager at Teesdale Childrens Day Nursery

Thank you so much for your kind words, it has been a pleasure to be part of the nursery for the last 23 years, being able to support children and their families in their journey through the nursery.

My daughter loves nursery, and I cannot fault the care she receives. She learns something new every day and the staff are always keen to share how her day has gone. I would recommend this nursery to anyone looking for exceptional childcare.

My two sons have both attended Teesdale when I returned to work, My youngest is still in the setting. The staff are lovely and friendly putting parents and children at ease. They adapt to your child's needs and deal with allergies well (I have never had a problem with my child being given incorrect
food/milk while in their care) Children are always learning even in the baby room, fills me with confidence that he gets the support and ability to learn. I would not hesitate to recommend the nursery to friends and family and after looking at other nurseries, I knew this one was the one for my children.

Putting my 6-month-old in Teesdale Nursery was the best decision I made, despite the worries I had. All the staff made me feel at ease. My son loves going to nursery and I have seen a massive improvement in his social skills. The activities are brilliant and all ages are involved, I now go to work without
a worry and know that my son is looked after and cared for like he is one of their own! I recommend the nursery and would recommend anyone with any queries to contact the management as they are brilliant.

Reply from Michelle Gorman, Manager at Teesdale Childrens Day Nursery

Thank you for your kind words, it has been a pleasure getting to know yourself and your son. We are so pleased with how he has settled into nursery. I will pass on your comments to the rest of the team.

I am so happy I chose this nursery for my son. The staff are all brilliant and nothing is too much trouble. Whenever possible the children play outside which my little boy loves. The communication via e-mail and in person to book full days or pick up from school works great. I would definitely recommend
it!

Reply from Michelle Gorman, Manager at Teesdale Childrens Day Nursery

Thank you for taking the time to publish a review for us, it is very much appreciated. We feel that communication is a vital part of nursery life, therefore we thrive on strong relationships with both parents/carers and children including communication whether that is via email or in person.

My little boy has just been back for the school half term. He enjoys it that much he wanted to go for more days than we had planned! I could not imagine sending him anywhere else. He has been part of the nursery from 9 months old and is now 5! He counts down for the school holidays to go see all the
girls. The manager and her team are fantastic and really accommodating - it's like a home from home for my boy. I would 100% recommend it to anyone looking for a childcare setting that has friendly staff and is always nurturing, fun and safe to name just a few things! Thank you to the girls at Teesdale for always opening the door with a big smile on a morning it really makes a great start to the day. We will certainly see you again soon!

My little girl absolutely loves coming to nursery. She has been coming for over 2 years now and enjoys it so much! She has a brilliant bond with all the staff but loves one member of staff, in particular. I recently had a little boy who will also be coming, when he is a little bit older.

The staff are very caring and friendly. They all know my son, even those in other rooms. I am pleased with the level of care provided at Teesdale day nursery. Opportunities of learning through playing as English is my second language and my son learns more at the nursery than at home, because we speak
more French at home. I always feel comfortable and safe leaving my son. The staff have good communication skills. I cannot thank the staff enough for the incredible job they are doing.

Me and my twin boys absolutely love this place. The staff are very friendly and helpful and are trained to a high level. I had looked at other nurseries but a friend of mine told me about this and it has been the best decision I have ever made. They can deal with my son's medical issues with no problems
and can administer his medication. If you are looking for the best nursery in the Stockton area then this is the one for you

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.

Hello, I'm Michelle.
I have a level 4 in Early years childhood studies and have worked in childcare for 22 years here at Teesdale Children's Day Nursery. I started out as an Early year's educator, working my way up to deputy manager and I'm now proud to be manager. I take pride in having very good organisational skills and use them when managing the nursery, staff, and children. I love to meet new families, welcoming them into our setting and ensuring that they feel comfortable. We work as a team to ensure all rooms provide fun, stimulating, and safe environments. I believe having a strong team helps children achieve their individual learning goals by working together and working alongside parents and families collectively. I look forward to welcoming you to our nursery.
