Day Nurseries Owned by Newcastle City Council

He has had such a fantastic start to his nursery journey, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. We are incredibly grateful to everyone at Rye Hill Castle Nursery for giving him such a positive and nurturing start.

We're so grateful for all the love, care and support the team has shown our family. We couldn't recommend Castle Rye Hill Nursery more highly, thank you so much everyone for everything you do!

A special thank you to Kathryn and Michelle for being so kind, supportive, and accommodating. After visiting five nurseries, this was by far the one that gave us the most confidence. It's worth the extra drive, and we highly recommend it.

The nursery has been absolutely amazing with both of my children. The oldest is now starting high school, and my youngest starts primary school this september. Their advice, support and care have been above and beyond. Both my children loved coming to the nursery, the staff make you feel like family the way they looked after myself and my children. I couldn't think of a better nursery to send your younger ones too. I wouls recommend a hundred times over to any parent, the way my children have blossomed is unimaginable. Thank you dunstanbourgh nursery

I feel so honoured to have had my son here since he was 10 months old, as he has been loved, cared for and supported like he was one of the staffs own children. They supported my son through the milk ladder, speech difficulties and even disagreements with other children - keeping us completely informed and supported throughout everything. It's to the point where on weekends we have to drive past to show him nursery is closed as missed his friends and teachers so much!

The rooms are well equipped, we get beautiful crafts for special occasions, the menu is absolutely fantastic in comparison to other nurseries I hear of, and they celebrate each child's birthday and their daily achievements with you, what more could you want!

We'll all be very sad for my son to move to his school in September but I'll cherish everything this nursery has done for us all for all these years.

I moved my child here from another local nursery because I was unsatisfied with the variation of learning at the previous nursery. Since my child has attended here I've witnessed lots of toys and activities compared to the other nursery. The outdoor play area is really good quality and my child often speaks about this when at home.

My child is happy to go to nursery and is always happy upon collection. My child mentions staff names whilst at home and has developed positive relationships.

I noticed significant improvement in my child's language and confidence since joining the nursery.

My only feedback would be the lack of space for my child to attend an extra day. This is having a financial impact at home and is frustrating. It's understandable it's due to the nursery being so good and in demand.

Great, friendly, organised and dedicated nursery. This nursery has helped my children develop but also supported us as parents be organised, updated and on track so our children receive the best care and any additional support, guidance and services offered. They offer a relaxed childcare service which makes them approachable and have all the children at the centre of their work. They have been brilliant and would highly recommend. They also work extra hard to get the children ready for school and keep you on track getting support in ready to be actioned at school age. Nothing ever goes a miss fabulous nursery.

If you are concerned on funding, from experience many nurseries lack this attention to detail but this nursery works to help you and your child to the best of their ability with no hidden fees. They are warm welcoming and explain any concerns instantly.

My child looks forward to nursery and has good friendships with other children and staff. He has a lot of energy and I feel the staff manage this well. There is a wide range of home cooked meals that are helping him with his fussy eating, I've seen a big improvement in him with this - especially recently. The staff are always very friendly with me and give a good update of my child's day on collection.

Amazing nursery. The staff are all knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. The standard of care is brilliant, and the food is home cooked and well balanced. Cannot fault them and would recommend them to others.

Our son has been attending since the beginning of January, and we absolutely love the nursery. They genuinely cared about getting our son settled as soon as possible, realising it was a massive change in routine for both our son and ourselves. It's only been a few months but he absolutely loves going in, now we have the struggle of getting him to leave at pick up! Loads of space and a sheltered outdoor play area which is ideal. The staff are absolutely brilliant We genuinely are so pleased we chose this nursery.

I can not be more pleased with this nursery, staff are amazing, they go above and beyond for the children ( not only mine) . They do a lots of activities, and yes if your child come home dirty it means he had fun and played. I have not one but two children here, both started at age 9 months and I'm more then sure that my children are well taken care of. Staff communications with me is great, they do a handover at receiving and collection of each child . Really there are not enough wards to describe how happy i am with this nursery.

M daughter went to this nursery several years ago and benefitted greatly from the friendly, caring and approachable staff. My son has been at this nursery for almost a year. He was no to keen at first, but with assistance from the friendly and caring staff now enjoys his time there and looks forward to going now.

It is really nice place and Fantastic nursery for my two daughters

My son is in this nursery he is non verbal and has high sensory needs the staff are amazing and very supportive my son is really enjoying time here and I feel they always meet my sons needs and he is safe there

My daughter started the nursery at the age of 1, now is just over 3. The staff is just amazing. You can really see how much they care and always make us feel like my daughter is the greatest kid in the world. They are not only looking after her but also contributing in her development.

Highly recommended

Absolutely the best nursery my son has ever been ,he attended 2 nurseries before I wasn't happy until I found here .the manager is very nice ,friendly, approachable, educators are all lovey they are like second mum for children.the place is very clean and safe very warm and friendly environment.the educators are all professional and passionate highly recommended.

The girls at the nursery always go above and beyond for the kids. I couldn't wish for a better setting for my children. They absolutely love it there. The staff always give us a rundown at the end of the day about how their day has been, what they have eaten etc. it's really helpful for us carrying on with the routine at home. There's always fun events on where they get the kids involved. Vikki is an asset to the nursery, she's always there to help, or a shoulder to cry on. She actually cares about the families.

From the first visit Vicky was amazing so welcoming and helpful catering to our needs the staff are amazing from management nursery staff kitchen staff and cleaners I would highly recommend this nursery my grandson has attended this nursery since he was 6 months old he's now 3 and has blossomed and learned so much, I will be sad when he leaves

Choosing Castle Nursery Montagu has truly been one of the best decisions I have made for my daughter. The children enjoy a wide variety of activities every day, learning through play while having so much fun.

The care here is wonderful - every member of staff is warm, patient and attentive. My daughter is always well looked after in every aspect, from play and learning to meals, naps and emotional support.

The management team is also incredibly helpful and supportive to parents. A special thank you to the manager, Vikki, whose kindness, understanding and constant smile bring so much reassurance and trust.

I feel very lucky that Castle Nursery Montagu will be part of my daughter's childhood from the age of 6 months. I'm truly grateful to every member of staff who has cared for her.

My son went to this nursery 8 years ago and now my two other children go and honestly it's hands down the best nursery, the staff are lovely and very welcoming and let you know if anything's wrong and how your child day has went from start to finish! They're very helpful and polite while talking to you! They always welcome children in with smiles and they're very welcoming and smiley.
