Castle Nurseries at Rye Hill

from Joseph G (Father of Child) published on 4 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
In my own opinion, Castle Nurseries is if not the best, one of the top 3 nurseries in Tyne and wear.
I make bold to say so because apart from my own experiences and observations over the years, the recommendations and testimonial praises I've always gotten about Castle Nurseries has been phenomenal.
Some
years back when my first child was to start nursery, a neighbour was the first person who recommended the nursery to me and ever since I got a placement for my first child, I have met parents/carers who brought their kids from the length and breadth of Tyne and wear, stating how good castle nursery is and how they didn't mind the stress of coming from a distance just to get the best based on how vast and welcoming the nursery is with regards to it's cultural diversity, religious and ethnicity inclusion.
Furthermore, It feels so good to know that all three of my kids started their educational journey at castle nursery of which their impact is very evident and I am most grateful.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my Daughters attended rye hill nursery, and when my 3rd is old enough I hope she too will get a place. Could not fault the nursery/ teachers or staff what so ever, they've went above and beyond for my family throughout the 4 years my children have been going. Both my girls were always so excited
to go in a morning, and made great relationships/ bonds with everyone there.


My daughters have came on massively with speech, sharing and playing with other children, and have learnt a lot within there time at the nursery. If anyone were too ask me a nursery for there child to attend I would most defintely recommend here.

My son has been at this nursery since he was 11 months old and has just left nursery at 4 to go to school! He's loved every day he's been and the staff have always shown the love back. Couldn't recommend a better nursery, and hopefully we will see you all again in the future xx

The nursery has been absolutely amazing with both of my children. The oldest has now left but their advice, support and care have been unexpected and so appreciated. My youngest lights up every morning walking in which just shows how much he loves it. The place feels like family and I'm not sure how
I would have managed without them.

I have used this nursery since my son was 9 months old, now he is 1.9 months and I'm pleased to say he is looking forward to going there every time. The staff are amazing and caring, they communicate well with me and my son. They respect my decision in regards to dietary low sugar and encouraging fresh
fruit. We had some issues but once addresses were sorted immediately. I have another baby on the way and definitely will be going there.

My grandson (who lives with me) has attended this nursery since he was about 2 and he’s loved every minute of it.
They have helped him with his learning so much and he has made so many little friends here.
The staff are so friendly, down to earth, and always ready to help with anything they can.
He loves coming here and will miss it a lot when he goes to reception in September.

My twin girls have been in this nursery for over 2 years, I have 6 children with the twins being my youngest of all the nurseries I've been to over the years this one is the very best!
The staff is amazing and my girls are thriving the warm welcome you get and the love and attention that goes into
every aspect of their jobs show every day. Management is amazing nothing is a problem and they listen to parents with any concerns and bring the best out in my girls. I can't rate them highly enough 5* nursery!

Outstanding school can’t fault anyone or anything.
Helped and still helping my daughter's confidence and food fears, also helping my son with his separation anxiety and me as a parent on how to handle the breakdowns. Always there to help and support you as a parent too.
Would recommend this school
to anyone who has small children.

Outstanding nursery, all my three children have been to Castle Nurseries at Dunstanburgh Road. My own experience with them has been amazing, the staff are so welcoming, evidenced by their social skills to their vocabulary which has improved a lot since they started going to this wonderful place. I can't
praise all the ladies enough for all their work with all of my children.

My daughter has blossomed at Castle Nurseries at Dunstanburgh Road Day Nursery. She has grown up in this setting and we both have made strong connections with the staff, management and other children. With their support and guidance, she has met or exceeded all her development milestones and I've certainly
learned a few things too! All the staff are lovely, caring individuals. The food is great quality, the building is safe and welcoming. To be even better, parents could have online access to their child's learning journey but the team are very good at updating from day to day.

My daughter has been attending for just over a year. When she first arrived, she could only say two words and with the help of the workers, she can now say a wide range of words and sentences. She has had very low confidence and she is now coming out a great deal with her confidence. The staff are friendly,
helpful and polite with everything they do. I could not recommend a better place for my little girl to go, it's amazing.

Such a friendly, caring and welcoming nursery. The staff are excellent, skilled, professional and caring and will go the extra mile to help the child and family when a crisis occurs. The food is excellent and always enjoyed by my grandson, he will miss this when he goes to school. He has been here since
he was a baby and has been through all the rooms, made many friends and at each stage staff have helped him learn age-appropriate skills. I am confident that when he leaves he will be ready for school.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a foster carer, I have used this nursery over a number of years.
I have to say, this nursery so deserves its outstanding rating. The children that have had the opportunity to be part of this warm, nurturing environment have all loved their time here.
Each child is cared for as an individual, so
specific needs are always met.
May I also say how supportive and kind all of the staff have been to me, keeping me fully informed of how the children’s day has been and of their progress.
I would have no hesitation in recommending this nursery to any parent/carer.

I met the nursery in August 2020. I am a foster carer and the children in my care had attended this nursery for years. I was greeted by management in a professional, confidential way. I was given all information to help me with the children. I have had continuous support from management and all staff.
I cannot speak highly enough of this nursery. All staff have been amazing with me and the children.
