Review from Lynnette M (Mother of Child) published on 2 March 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending Tynemouth Nursery for roughly a year and a half. The building itself is welcoming and warm. It reminds me of a home rather than a nursery. The rooms are big and bright and welcoming. The staff who work there are kind, caring and funny. My daughter loves going to nursery. She has so much fun. She feels secure and safe and that is the most important thing for a mother, that they feel their baby is in safe hands and the baby themselves feels safe. There is a great, healthy variety of food. The outdoor space is big and has a little sunshade and a mini climbing frame and slide. There are also mud kitchen spaces. The extra activities are brilliant - from football to French. There is so much art and crafts and music. We feel lucky to have found this nursery.

Thanks for your lovely review. We are so pleased the nursery reminds you of a home; as this is one of the things we are so keen to achieve.

Overall Experience
My first little boy who is now 5 and had the best start to his education at Tynemouth Nursery. He is now at school, extremely sociable and friendly which I put down to the relationships he built with both staff and children at Tynemouth Nursery.

My other little boy is 2 and attends Tynemouth Nursery full time. He is also really settled at nursery and one of the best choices I have made is to send him to Tynemouth Nursery.

Review from Rebecca W (Mother of Child) published on 5 February 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery at TN (Tynemouth Nursery). She is looked after by well qualified, kind and happy staff. The staff know her very well and I believe she is challenged, cared for and nurtured as she should be in a nursery setting. My daughter has flourished here and the staff are always on hand to support her when needed. The activities provided during the day are well thought through, carefully structured and always have fun at the centre. I would wholeheartedly, and have actively, recommended Tynemouth Nursery to friends.

Review from Joanne L (Mother of Child) published on 23 October 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My first child attended since she was one and stayed all the way until Pre-school. She has started school with no issues, and that is down to the staff at Tynemouth getting her so prepared for the transition. The staff were immediately welcoming and supportive of both her and my needs. They take a genuine interest in the children and their wider life and family. My daughter flourished and soon became a confident, independent and social child. She had many differing experiences, and I never doubted that she was being well looked after and more importantly having fun and learning. The building is so homely with excellent facilities, garden great for little explorers and outside agencies brought in for further development ( tennis/French/football/jitterbugs). Food is all fresh, healthy and varied ( better than I get). My 2nd child starts very soon and already feels part of the Tynemouth family. I did not hesitate to put her in Tynemouth as nowhere compares. Amazing staff and service.

Overall Experience

This is a great nursery. They are always looking for ways to improve and new things to do with the children. All the staff are really caring, and I feel very happy about leaving my children with them. I know they are having a lovely day and are very well looked after. They do loads of lovely activities including football, yoga, sing and sign plus trips out. They let them play outside as much as possible in the fantastic outdoor space which my children love. The staff are keen to help if you have any queries or concerns. All in all, we are very happy with Tynemouth Nursery.

Overall Experience

I could not recommend Tynemouth Nursery more! My son has now been at the nursery for a year and he absolutely loves going. The staff are all fantastic and I trust them completely to look after my boy. The nursery provides an excellent environment for children to learn, play and socialise with other children. They have regular visits from external activity groups that the children love and learn a great deal from and the meals prepared by the in house chef really are great. I am so pleased we chose this nursery!

Overall Experience

My child was only here a short few months before she started school but she thoroughly enjoyed her time here. Staff were always informative and helpful. She was always full of excitement when we picked her up, telling us of all the fun things she did that day and the yummy food she had been offered! I was impressed with all the extra activities that this nursery had to offer and that we were kept informed with pictures and information on her daily activities. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone, 5 stars.

Review from Corey R (Father of Child) published on 23 September 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has a complex genetic disorder which requires strict dietary requirements. The nursery initially worked very closely with us to ensure my child would be safely cared for while at nursery. I feel completely relaxed sending and leaving her which we have not felt from anywhere else.
All the staff take an interest in each individual child and welcome the whole family.
Our child has developed greatly while attending the nursery.

She has experienced so many new activities and we are kept updated and supported.

Overall Experience

I am so grateful to all the staff at the nursery, they are so helpful and very flexible with days and times. My son loved going there, they brought him on in so many ways ie friendships, learning a new language, hitting milestones. I was sad to see him leave to start his new adventure in reception. The staff truly went above and beyond for me and my son.

Our son has loved his time at Tynemouth Nursery. He has really developed since starting 2 years ago. The staff are wonderful, rare to find little turnover, so you get to know them and so do the children. The house and gardens are lovely, and the activities keep the kids happily busy. Cooking, yoga and French have been highlights. Nursery management is excellent. We couldn't be happier to recommend the nursery.

Overall Experience

I have to say my wife and two girls have experienced only good things at Tynemouth Nursery. My four-year-old will be moving to school in September and all of her activities at nursery have made her confident to get started and meet other children. Our two-year-old has all of these activities ahead of her, and I would not want to miss them. The staff are devoted and well trained and in my opinion, have gone beyond what is expected. A wonderful nursery.

Overall Experience

All of our children have attended Tynemouth Nursery and we have always been extremely pleased with the care provided. Each of our children have had great fun whilst learning and have made good progress over the years, academically and socially. The key workers support the children brilliantly and we have always found everyone who has looked after our children to be friendly and approachable. The Nursery provides a relaxed and homely environment which is exactly what we were looking for when choosing childcare for our children.

Review from Stephanie G (Mother of Child) published on 1 July 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Tynemouth nursery is fantastic! Both of my boys have attended since they were 10 months old and I honestly feel as though the staff love them like their own. The whole team are so friendly, welcoming and professional and I would never hesitate to entrust them with my children. The facilities are excellent and the nursery has a real homely feel about it which no other nursery offered. Activities are well structured and educational and the boys love the external activities offered by visiting companies. The food is always fresh and varied and I am impressed at what they put away in comparison to what they eat at home!

My eldest is coming to the end of his time at Tynemouth nursery and I thank staff for helping me raise the polite and confident boy he is today. I had originally planned to move my youngest for logistic reasons but unfortunately, no other nursery compares and (with a little help) we are leaving him at Tynemouth so he can have the same wonderful experience as his brother.

Joanne Gallagher Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2022
Joanne Gallagher

My childcare journey began in 2018 as supply staff, before becoming a full-time practitioner and then a room leader in 2019. In 2022, I joined Tynemouth Nursery Group as Preschool Room Leader, progressing to Deputy Manager in 2023 and now Nursery Manager.

The most rewarding part of my role is seeing children grow in confidence and independence every day. I’m passionate about creating a nurturing environment and supporting families throughout their journey with us.

I recently completed Mental Health First Aid training, recognising its importance for children, staff, and parents alike. Outside of nursery life, I love spending time with my little boy and enjoying weekends with family or at the gym.
