Amazing nursery with lovely staff. My little boy has been going to this nursery since just after he turned one and nearly two years later he still loves it. His confidence and independence have come on so much and he always comes home talking about his friends, staff and what they have been doing each
time and even asks if he can go back most days. The nursery is also so accommodating if extra days are required and nothing is too much regarding his allergies, he always has a like-for-like alternative.

Lovely little nursery with amazing staff, my little boy has been going since he was 9 months old and has always been happy to go in with no tears, as he is comfortable with the staff. He now happily toddles in each morning, eager to start his nursery day.

Since started at the nursery in September 2019, I have felt extremely comfortable leaving my son in the care of the staff. They are always coming up with creative learning, and my son has many friends there. The staff have helped him thrive and become the sociable young boy he is. He is excited when
going into the nursery, and the staff keep us updated on any events or if he has been a bit grumpy as they try to understand why. The nursery cook is loved by all the children, and his delicious food has helped to encourage non-fussy eating.

I couldn't recommend this nursery enough. My little boy started at this nursery a year ago, and he's come on so much! He absolutely loves the girls who work there and is always so happy going in. He always asks to go and play with his friends on the days he's not there. I love how every time he is there,
I get a picture uploaded on the home leaning of him being so happy, doing activities and having fun.

I can not recommend this nursery enough. I wish I had found this place sooner for my little boy! From day one, I have felt so comfortable leaving him there; the staff are so lovely and welcoming. They take the time to chat with you every day about your child, and you can see the amazing relationships
they have with the children. My son's confidence and developments are growing every single day because of the nursery, and it is lovely to see. My son always talks about nursery so positively and loves attending. The nursery provides a great range of activities and also send you learning updates, which is great to see! Thank you so much to all of the team for everything you have done! I 1000000% recommend!

My child started this nursery in September 2020, and for her bring with me the first year of her life, she was an emotional wreck when leaving me, but Tynemouth Nursery at Battle Hill have brought her on loads. She goes running in happy ready to start her day. I wouldn't send my daughter anywhere else,

My son struggled a lot with his first nursery, but as soon he started at Tynemouth Nursery, he settled in straight away! He has come on so much and it has given him so much confidence to interact with other kids and brought his learning on a lot. All the staff are so friendly and welcoming. I know that
he is in a safe and caring environment where he learns a lot and also enjoys himself. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Since joining Tynemouth Nursery I have had the joy of watching my child's confidence grow. The staff have all been fantastic in helping him to adjust to leaving me. The feedback about my child is a great asset. He always looks forward to going and never wants to leave, would 110% recommend. A lovely
'family' type feel which is rare to find - a hidden gem.

Both my children started in September and love nursery days. The staff are all so lovely, helpful and kind. They have all helped them come along so much and I'm so happy with their progress at the nursery. I have a child with allergies that they have worked with amazingly and have helped so much with
potty training.

My little boy started at the end of July and he settled in straight away. He really enjoys it and looks forward to going. All the staff are lovely and they make the parents and kids relaxed which is helpful if you are worried about leaving your child. He always has lots of fun and loves to talk and
tell me about his day there, it's like he has always been there. He walks in with a smile and is happy. Thank you from us.

The nursery have been amazing for my daughter and my son. My daughter has terrible skin and they do everything they can to help with this, they go above and beyond when her skin is really bad. She has already learned so much and come on so quickly thanks to the girls here. I can't thank them enough.

Review from A T (Mother of Child) published on 27 June 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has attended the Tynemouth Nursery since she was 6 weeks old. I was confident from the beginning that the staff were more than capable of meeting all of my daughter's needs. Leaving a new baby at a nursery is hard for any family, but staff were friendly and gained my trust from the beginning,
they didn’t only meet my daughter's needs, but they also met my needs, eg giving daily updates, photographs of what my child had been doing each day, and also being to call to check at any point and staff are always happy to help.
Staff are caring, empathetic and show compassion to all children they work with. From the baby room up to the preschool, staff have worked with my daughter and helped her develop in many areas.
My daughter is ready for school in September and I will be sad her leaving the nursery, but my expected baby will definitely be attending Tynemouth Nursery when she is born!!
Thank you all.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.910)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.910) out of 10 for Tynemouth Nursery at Battle Hill is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.910 for Tynemouth Nursery at Battle Hill is calculated as follows: ( (146 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.91
  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 13 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 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 13 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.
