Mason started to TNG when he was six months old, his confidence has grown massively. Mason does a variety of activities and goes on outings which he loves. The staff has supported Mason throughout his time.

My child is always happy to go to the nursery. And when I pick him up in the evening, he's always smiling. I feel like he's learning a lot, he gets to do many activities he wouldn't have access to if he was at home. I have full confidence in the staff.
Reply from Shirley Robinson, Nursery Manager at Tynemouth Nursery at Battle HillThank you so much for your kind words. It's really nice to hear your little one is happy coming in and going home with a smile, and we're glad you feel supported by the team.

My son has been attending this nursery since April 2025. I have consistently delighted with our experience. From how brilliant the staff are, fantastic communication and high standard they have across the board. They are quick to resolve my issues and keep me informed throughout the day via the app
or phone calls. My son has come on so much and has genuine bonds with the staff. The enthusiastic welcomes in the morning get me son running in with a smile on his face. Detailed observations provided allow me to build on his development at home and they are always a joy to read. I am confident about my daughter starting later in the year.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son attends this nursery and I cannot recommend it enough, the staff are amazing and thanks to them he is thriving. The activities offered are brilliant and it's lovely to receive photos and updates throughout the day with regular observations to track his development. The children are encouraged
to do what makes them happiest, I love arriving for pick up to see him playing and dancing with friends and staff or in a fancy dress outfit that he has chosen to wear. The menu is brilliant and the chef makes sure she gets to know your child's likes, dislikes and dietary needs and is always free for a chat if things change. The manager is always so welcoming and makes sure she updates parents regularly via the app as well as answering messages quickly. The room sizes are great for the age ranges within them and are always clean and safe for the children, there are lots of toys for the children to play freely with between activities.
Reply from Shirley Robinson, Nursery Manager at Tynemouth Nursery at Battle HillThank you so much for this lovely review, Naomi! It means a great deal to us to hear how happy your son is here, from dressing up to dancing and playing with friends. We're also glad the updates, meals, and activities help you feel connected to his day, and I'll pass on the feedback to the team. All the best for 2026!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.929)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.929) out of 10 for Tynemouth Nursery at Battle Hill is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.929 for Tynemouth Nursery at Battle Hill is calculated as follows: ( (373 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 396 Ratings = 4.929
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tynemouth Nursery at Battle Hill is based on 33 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 44 number of registered child places is 8.8, which has been reached with 33 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
