Overall Experience

All the staff at Tynemouth Billy Mill Nursery are amazing and very friendly. They were amazing with my daughter who has cerebral palsy, she loved going into nursery when she attended there but time had come for her to go to big school. But I definitely recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience

I would thoroughly recommend Tynemouth Nursery at Billy Mill to send your child. Staff are very friendly and approachable, with trust and care apparent. We feel confident that our son is well cared for throughout the day and if anything was untoward we would be notified. The food and drinks supplied are varied and wholesome and with the children all eating together many valuable skills are offered to the children and the occasional trips out and about are very well received.

Review from Dean B (Father of Child) published on 4 March 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has attended Tynemouth Nursery at Billy Mill for over a 6 months now and I can't thank the staff enough for all of the help and support they have given him and also the family as we are first-time parents and they have supported us through a lot with our child's development and have gone above and beyond to support him with his speaking. The nursery is very homely and all of the staff are very welcoming when you arrive on a morning or on an evening collecting and they are always happy to let you know what he has been up to on a day to day basis and all the amazing activities that they do with him.

Reply from Linda Ruane, at Tynemouth Nursery at Billy Mill

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are so pleased your son has settled so well, and you find the nursery so homely; which we strive so hard to achieve.

Review from Nic B (Father of Child) published on 4 March 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our 2 children have attended holiday club since it opened and both love it. The activities on offer are varied each day during the holidays, one day they could be out doing a treasure hunt and the next day building a Lego tower or learning street dance. I love the structured activity programme with morning and afternoon activities but also allowing free play time, where there is a football table, colouring-in resources, building blocks, water/sand trays and so much more to choose from! Our children keep asking how long to ‘holiday club time’ which says a lot about their enjoyment of attending! We feel it is great value for money as the full day pass includes breakfast, a healthy homemade lunch, snacks and tea, as well as free-flowing fresh fruit and water which is really important to us! The staff are great and very welcoming, encouraging the children to mix with each other, there seems to be quite a few children who are going time and again as we have noticed our children forming friendships

Reply from Ashleigh Turner, at Tynemouth Nursery at Billy Mill

Thank you so much for your great review. We have really tried our hardest to offer the very best holiday club in the local area, and it is fantastic to get this feedback!

Amazing nursery, staff are all so friendly. They are great with my daughter. I would highly recommend this nursery to friends and family. My daughter is coming on leaps and bounds since starting in January and she’s been made to feel so welcome. This nursery and its staff deserve 5 stars.

Overall Experience

My son is having the best time here, he gets to socialise with other children his own age and is learning to be independent in an environment I know he is safe and properly cared for. The staff are absolutely amazing, they are always helpful and polite and do a wonderful job of taking care of the children. They make sure the needs of my child are always met. They have helped my child to blossom into such a lovely little boy. I am looking forward to seeing how far my child progresses with these amazing women.

Review from Christine B (Grandmother of Child) published on 23 February 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My granddaughter used to attend the nursery and now attends the Holiday Club. She gets so excited when she knows she is going to holiday club and asks what she will be doing and if they are going on any trips as she has so far been on excursions to the beach, cinema and to museums. The excursions are always well planned and supervised by the holiday club staff.

Thank you so much for the great review. It is great that your granddaughter loves the trips out!

Overall Experience

My two children have both been at this nursery for two years and I have nothing but praise. Friendly approachable staff, lovely food and lovely pictures and crafts. I can't thank the staff enough for how much my children have come on with singing songs, counting and even learning French. A fantastic nursery, highly recommended.

Review from Kielly (Mother of Child) published on 28 January 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We are so happy with our choice of nurseries for our son. I visited so many nurseries when looking to choose one and I kept coming back to Tynemouth Nursery at Billy Mill. There is such a cosy, welcoming atmosphere whenever you visit. The staff are wonderful. They are super friendly and helpful and I feel confident leaving my son in their capable, caring hands. The resources and learning spaces are set up beautifully and change regularly. There are always thoughtful play setups and activities happening in the rooms. I enjoy seeing my sons progress in his online learning book and home school communication is excellent. It's always nice to have a little chat when you pick your child up. I feel like, even though my son has only been attending four or five months, all the staff know my son well and provide a stimulating, nurturing environment for my son to thrive in. We couldn't recommend this nursery enough. Thank you so much, everyone, at Tynemouth Nursery Billy Mill!

Review from Kirsty M (Mother of Child) published on 4 December 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My little boy absolutely loves his time at nursery. He has come on leaps and bounds since starting. The staff are amazing and I have no doubt that he is well looked after when he is there, which has made the transition for me so much easier than I had anticipated. He very much looks forward to getting into his class to see all his little friends which I find so comforting. It gets a 5 out of 5 from me and my little boy.

My great-granddaughter attends the holiday club at the nursery, the staff members within the nursery are all very friendly and welcoming. There is a wide variety of activities on offer and my great-granddaughter loves to come home and tell us what she has been doing throughout the day and ask when she is going back.

The nursery staff are so welcoming and lovely. My daughter went to nursery here for 2 years and now attends the holiday club. She is always so excited to go back because they do so many fun things for the kids. They really have bent over backwards for my child's dietary requirements which is hugely appreciated. Couldn't fault them one bit.

Overall Experience

My daughter used to go to the nursery from 9 months old and once they opened a holiday club, we jumped at the opportunity to go back. My daughter loved all the different activities provided and found it very easy to make new friends. Each day my daughter attended the holiday club, she asked when was she going back as she enjoyed it so much.
