The Cedars Nursery - Newcastle

I could not speak highly enough about the Cedars Nursery - Newcastle. The overall care is excellent, each and one of the carers are wonderful with the children, they teach them and look after them with so much patience and love. The nursery itself is based in a big building, with big rooms with different areas for the kids to play and develop. It also has a wonderful garden with lots of corners for different activities. The food is home made every day in the nursery kitchen. They have a wide menu with well balanced and nutritious meals. Both of my children are looking forward to going to nursery every day and I leave them knowing they are in a safe place. I would definitely recommend this nursery.

Caring staff and exciting activities with good food - very pleased I chose this nursery.

I would expect more learning activities for pre-school children. Staff are always lovely, polite and helpful.

I can't praise the staff at The Cedars Newcastle enough. My son had a wobble about attending nursery earlier in the year due to us expecting a baby and the staff worked so hard to get him back to loving the place.

We chose this nursery due to them being able to accommodate our family work shift patterns and nothing is ever a bother about the rota. It's very hard to find a nursery who will accept a rota place and we couldn't be happier with our choice.

Our son now doesn't want to leave at the end of the day as he loves the outdoor space so much he just wants to stay with his friends.

The Cedars Nursery offers exceptionally high quality childcare with professional staff who are passionate about providing a loving, friendly and safe environment for the children. The range of activities, learning resources and meals on offer are of an excellent standard, and the huge garden enables the children to explore and enjoy the outdoors freely and safely. My three children all went to The Cedars Nursery and loved every minute of it. I would highly recommend The Cedars Nursery.

My daughter has been coming to the nursery from being a baby and my son also came until he was 5 yrs old. I can not say enough praise for the staff and the way they help the children settle in. My daughter loves coming to nursery to see her baby friends and loves playing in the extensive garden. My son had behavioural difficulties and although they had to deal with some difficult situations, they never stopped him from coming to nursery. My son now attends school with no problems and I feel nursery prepared him for the school environment. He had no problems settling in. Thank you to all the staff who look after my daughter and my son when he was at Cedars.

Our two little girls (1&2) attend Cedars and we have been very happy with the standard of care, facilities, and staff members there. The nursery itself is large with ample play and learning areas. The garden is very large, and the children spend much of the day outside if the weather is good. The staff are very friendly and have been responsive to our requirements - for example, introducing potty training. There is an emphasis on fun and play, and the staff create a 'home-from-home' feeling which has really helped our two year old develop into a confident and happy little girl. With 3 meals per day included and a significant discount for full-time care (5 days for the price of 4), plus a sibling discount, we have also found Cedars to be good value for money compared to other nurseries.

On a whole the nursery is ok. I have personally found school attached nurseries to be more productive education wise. This is more of a daycare. I found majority of the staff to be polite and welcoming but a few of them are really uncooperative. In my one year experience in this nursery I have not seen them arrange any trips for the students, which I feel is also integral in the overall growth of a child.

My daughter has been going to cedars since she was 9 months old, now as a four year old little girl she has flourished at the nursery. The staff are very welcoming and really take the time to know each child. Now in her last year at Cedars I know there will be tears alround when the time comes to leave. I am confident the nursery has set her up to a great start at school.

It's a shame because at Christmas and Easter the staff made an effort and did activities if only they would do this for the rest of the year!
