We honestly can't recommend this nursery enough. From our first visit when my little boy was 10 months old, the staff have always been warm and welcoming. Each room is thoughtfully set up with activities to match the children's ages and milestones. Stay & play sessions have been lovely and it's great
meeting the parents of the children he plays with.
When he moved into the next room and I found out I was pregnant, his separation anxiety naturally peaked. Drop-offs were tough, but the staff always reassured me once he settled and gave detailed updates at the end of the day. Nicola and the management team have been incredibly supportive, putting helpful steps in place that have made a real difference to both him and me.
My little boy was born prematurely, but at 2.5 you'd never know - he's come on so much since joining the twos room. The Famly app updates are always lovely to read. The support and friendliness here truly stand out, and we're so grateful for everything they do.
Reply from Nicola Young, Nursery Manager at What A Hoot Day Nursery BedlingtonThank you so much for your kind words, we are so grateful that you choose what a hoot for your children's journeys

Since Jesse joined What a Hoot, he has been thriving. He goes into nursery happy every day, and I have had nothing but a positive experience with all the staff.

The staff at the nursery are caring and approachable. They always take the time to update how my little boy has been throughout the session. The food variety is really good and I always know he will have a healthy meal. My little boy always comes out happy and has enjoyed his day.

Started in September 2025 and we only had tears the first week. She loves coming in and always has a smile to the staff at drop off and puts arms out to go. I couldn't be more happy with the nursery and staff and feel she is content and well looked after.

We are really pleased with What a Hoot nursery, they have been brilliant with our little girl, shes thriving. She approaches the staff for cuddles and is sad when she has to leave. Their communication has been great and the Famly app is really handy. They have organised parent activities and photo sessions
that she can join even when it's not always her usual day. The staff are conscientious and we don't feel rushed at handovers. They always take things at our pace (e.g. weaning) and ask for our permission and feedback about next steps. We would recommend them to our friends and family.

We cannot fault anything about this nursery. They go above and beyond to make sure our daughter is getting the care she requires. Staff are very attentive and want to be involved in any appointments so they can provide further care and support us as parents. We are so happy we enrolled to this nursery.

The level of care and compassion from the staff is phenomenal. They have all built wonderful relationships with my daughter and go above and beyond to support her, get to know her and try to make her time at nursery as fun and nurturing as possible. I cannot sing their praises high enough!

The team at What A Hoot has been amazing with our son, they have ensured all needs are met. He struggled with a few things but they have worked beside him to ensure he learns and can do things to the best of his ability. Their patience is amazing as it can take a bit with him. Handover, no matter the
day or time, they always make sure you know what's happened and any concerns or questions are always answered. Amazing team!

As a family, we can not recommend What A Hoot Bedlington enough.
It has been absolutely amazing for our son's development.
The nursery itself is currently going from strength to strength and the current changes are absolutely amazing, there is so much for the children to do. Hats off to the full
team and a huge thank you to all the staff. Our little boy is so confident and I'm sure it has a lot to do with his past and present key workers.
A special shout-out to the three ladies for all the amazing work they have done with our little boy.
Also, a massive shout-out to the owner/manager, the changes you are implementing are absolutely fantastic.

For the last two years, our daughter has attended What A Hoot and our young son also now attends. They both get so much out of their time in the nursery and really look forward to going. They have both made strong connections to staff and talk about what they have been doing with their friends. They
are both very happy here and I can't recommend it enough.

We have been at What A Hoot for two years and have two children attending the nursery. I'm so glad we found such a fantastic nursery. The staff are brilliant and clearly love their job and the kids love going. The food is varied and plentiful. Highly recommended.

My daughter always looks forward to nursery and has developed socially far better than we feared with her being a lockdown baby. Her confidence grows daily and What A Hoot contributes to this.
