Brilliant nursery, my sons absolutely love it here, lovely staff too. There are going to be lots of tears when they eventually go to big school.

My daughter has progressed incredibly well here at Teesdale nursery. They have not only helped encourage my daughter, who has complex speech and learning needs but also support mum and I through regular updates, meetings and signposting to other services when needed.
This is the third nursery my daughter
has attended and the only one where I have felt she has had the support and guidance to thrive. To all the fantastic staff, I cannot thank them enough or recommend more. Thank you.

My little girl started nursery in October and she loves being there. She cries when I leave her but when I look in on my way out she is happy with a staff member, ready for breakfast! I love being able to see what she is doing on tapestry or their Facebook page as it reassures me that she is happy and
well.

I’m glad I decided to send my daughter to Day Nursery. The staff, they listen and follow instructions which as a parent made me feel content when I leave the nursery because I know she is being looked after well. It’s a clean, healthy and happy place for a child. Well done guys!

Both my children have attended this nursery ad their development has been amazing! Both children have been amazing! Both children have great confidence and really enjoy attending. The staff are lovely and always happy to help. The security codes on the doors are changed frequently and this makes me
feel my child is extremely safe. I highly recommend this nursery.

My grandson absolutely loves coming to Teesdale Childrens Day Nursery. All the members of staff are fantastic with all the children; I have recommended the nursery to 2 of my friends. Cannot fault any staff member, totally put my mind at ease and they settle the (crying) children down within two seconds.
Love it completely, my grandson's come on 100%

My Godson loves coming to the nursery. He attends one day a week which has helped him socialise with others including children and adults. In the nursery, there is a variety of activities and experiences whilst helping my Godson's sensory skills.

Absolutely wonderful nursery. Staff are very friendly and helpful. My grandson loves to come and he has progressed so well. They offer such a variation in activities and keep families well informed of their children's progress. My grandson loves the food as there is always a wide variety of choices.
This has encouraged my grandson to try different tastes and textures. I would highly recommend anybody to consider using this nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I think the nursery is very helpful and helped my son grow a lot and learn new and exciting things. The staff are very helpful and always meets the demands and objectives provided by parents and others.
The prices are very understanding and fair for the service they give. The rating that the nursery
has, it needs more stars for what they do and what they have to do on a daily Basis.
Without my son going to the nursery he wouldn’t of learnt as much as he has and has made a lot of friends both staff and children that have helped him learn and develop along the way.

This nursery is absolutely fantastic and was sad to say goodbye. My daughter attended since she was one year up until preschool. All staff are welcoming and have supported my daughter and myself through many transitions of early childhood including support with toileting.


My daughter had many activities

throughout the day and I have seen massive developmental stones completed due to staff dedication and support for families. Staff are diamonds and go that extra mile.

Our daughter has attended Teesdale since her 1st birthday. It was a big decision deciding which nursery to entrust our daughters early years education to. The staff at Teesdale have exceeded all our expectations and helped develop our daughters into the confident person she is today. 4 years later she
is fully prepared for her next journey to a new school. We would wholeheartedly recommend to other parents Teesdale Nursery for their children's first step on the educational road of life. The team at Teesdale made it fun and exciting for daughter who will definitely miss them all. Thank you all very much.

This nursery for me and my child is great. The staff are friendly and keep up-to-date with things that concern the school, outside days, themed days and bringing all cultures together. My child is in the learning stages for reception and comes home having done new things, for the transition, I honestly
do not think I could've picked a better nursery for my child. The past two years have been good and rewarding for my child and I.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.916)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.916) out of 10 for Teesdale Childrens Day Nursery 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.916 for Teesdale Childrens Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (229 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 250 Ratings = 4.916
  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 Teesdale Childrens Day Nursery is based on 21 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 62 number of registered child places is 12.4, which has been reached with 21 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.

Hello, I'm Michelle.
I have a level 4 in Early years childhood studies and have worked in childcare for 22 years here at Teesdale Children's Day Nursery. I started out as an Early year's educator, working my way up to deputy manager and I'm now proud to be manager. I take pride in having very good organisational skills and use them when managing the nursery, staff, and children. I love to meet new families, welcoming them into our setting and ensuring that they feel comfortable. We work as a team to ensure all rooms provide fun, stimulating, and safe environments. I believe having a strong team helps children achieve their individual learning goals by working together and working alongside parents and families collectively. I look forward to welcoming you to our nursery.
