Review from A L (Mother of Child) published on 11 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter is almost 3 years old and has been at Spring Nursery since she was about one. She has learned so much and amazes me every day. She can string together 3-5 word sentences, count, say the days of the week, and recite stories and songs. Her confidence and independence, compared to when she started, have been remarkable, all thanks to the nursery staff's hard work and commitment. My daughter has built a fantastic relationship with her key workers and the nursery staff. Her key workers have been so supportive and attentive, and if I needed some tips, they were knowledgeable and approachable. All the staff are friendly too. My daughter really enjoys her time at nursery and likes to speak about her day, and talks about her peers and says their names. I recommended the nursery to my sister, and her daughter also attends and enjoys it.

Review from D M (Mother of Child) published on 11 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I honestly can't put into words how much I love this nursery. My eldest went here and now my youngest does too and it has been the best decision for both of my girls. The difference in my little one since she started is amazing. Her talking, her confidence, making friends, counting and most of all her happiness have come on so much.

She built the loveliest bond with her key worker straight away and even plays nursery at home which tells me she feels safe and happy there. The staff treat the children like their own. They are so kind, patient and genuinely caring.

The kids think they are just playing all day but the things she is learning honestly blow me away. My little girl is only two and already learning days of the week, seasons, letters, numbers, the weather and so much more.

They are always easy to talk to and I have never once felt worried leaving my daughter. I recommend them to everyone I know and could not speak highly enough of them.

Review from Sean P (Father of Child) published on 22 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child loves coming here, the staff are very good at making the children feel welcome at all times. The only "gripes" I have is, when the staff rock up to work 2 minutes before they are suppose to start. It doesn't look great from a parents perspective.

Secondly the amount of different illnesses the children are allowed to attend nursery with is unbelievable. My child is permanently coming home with different illnesses caught from another child at nursery. I understand this is a blanket policy. This really needs to be looked at again as this affects the parents if it spreads in each house hold.

Reply from Susan Pentland, Nursery Manager at Spring Nursery Blaydon

Thank you for your feedback, With regards to our unwell child policy I can confirm no children are permitted into nursery unwell and we ensure we follow the guidance of public health England at all times, Where children have been unwell in nursery parents are asked to collect their child and remain...

Review from Debbie W (Mother of Child) published on 11 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son started at Spring Blaydon at the beginning of October. He is 2 years old & spent his first 2years with me, so found the transition of leaving me hard to begin with.
The nursery was so supportive of my son & myself during his settle sessions & first weeks. They kept me updated & made a big effort to help my son to build bonds & feel secure in nursery and with his key people.
My son settled so well and quickly considering he's not used to being left with anyone other myself & some family.

He is happy and cared for. The nursery provides some fab activities to engage the children and pay attention to children's interests and like to link learning and experiences with home and nursery. I honestly can't thank the nursery enough and look forward to the next few years of my son's time there.

Overall Experience

He struggled at first to adjust to life away from home but the staff at Spring were amazing at welcoming him each morning with a smile and getting him settled. His speech and social skills have come on amazingly well and the range of reading, art and practical activities have been diverse. He enjoys going into nursery and talks at length about his day, often wanting to go in even on his days off! Thank you for being the start of his learning journey.

My son has been attending this nursery since just before he turned 1 year old, and he's leaving for big school this year. The staff have always been fantastic and supportive and he always comes out with a smile on his face. Regular updates on the app and always a quick word at handover to report on any concerns if there are any.

Review from R P (Mother of Child) published on 25 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending Spring Blaydon for the past 6 months, since she was 10 months old. It's nerve-wracking dropping your baby off at nursery for the first time as a new parent and the staff were really reassuring, giving me regular updates. As my daughter is getting more communicative, I can tell that she really enjoys nursery - she is very happy to see the staff members and when I drop her off, she is always interested to see what's going on in the nursery and doesn't even look back!

Review from Nicola T (Mother of Child) published on 31 December 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I'm so happy we chose Spring Nursery in Blaydon for our childcare needs. All staff are very friendly and caring and my little boy is happy to go into nursery each day. They have developed lovely learning environments for the children to explore and it also has a warm, cosy feel too. There is great communication via the app so I know how my baby is doing throughout the day and I can see how his development is monitored via their observations. They have also been flexible when needed to add additional days. Would highly recommend.

The most amazing nursery, who always go above and beyond in levels of care and support. My son has settled in so well, all the staff are so friendly and supportive for both parents and child.
Even on 2 days a week, we can see how much our boy has come on walking, playing, sharing, and with his words. We're so impressed and so grateful.

Our baby is due to start in the new year and we feel really confident going to work and leaving our little ones in the amazing care of the staff at Spring Blaydon.

My son started the nursery in February 2024, at the time he was a year and a half old.
For him, it was the first experience and the first time he had been left with someone different to Mama.

I am really glad and grateful to the Spring Nursery staff as my son has been really happy and content attending the nursery. He goes two days a week and he really loves it. He goes happy and comes back happy.

The staff at Spring are absolutely amazing. My little girl loves going to nursery and just runs in and says 'Bye Mammy, see you later'.
The staff always let you know how your little one has been during the day/what they've eaten etc.
If any concerns are raised about a child's development they will support you in any which way they can. They've been fantastic with my little girls' hearing/sensory issues

I can't recommend Spring Blaydon enough.
