Shotley Bridge Nursery School Ltd

Both of my grandchildren have made excellent progress at Shotley Bridge Nursery. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming and parents/grandparents/carers are encouraged to participate in a variety of activities with their children. The activities are well planned to make learning fun and also to meet the needs and interests of the children. The children are actively encouraged to explore materials both inside and in the outdoor area. I feel they are encouraged and supported by staff in everything they do. I love the way the children are involved in the community eg. visiting old people, planting vegetables with the support of the Alt group, then when they have grown, preparing them for lunch/snacks. The children also have the opportunity to be involved in the French language group. I feel that all staff from students to directors have time to listen to parents and that our views are valued.

They have cared for several of my grandchildren over the years. Very pleased.

All staff are friendly and have fantastic relationships with all the children.

Very pleased with the progress my child is making at the nursery.

My son really enjoys coming to nursery now that he has settled in. Originally my son came on an afternoon but it wasn't working for him. The nursery allowed us to change to mornings and this has helped my son. The development my son has made since coming to the nursery is great. He is making friends and his confidence is growing. He loves coming to nursery and the staff are great.

My daughter started nursery 1 year ago. She is having a lovely time. She made special friendship relations she has 2 best friends that she now meets outside nursey too. The nurses are very caring and supportive with children. I had amazing support with my daughter's potty training. My daughter loves the nursery also because all the activities that take place mighty monsters. She loves the nursery time because she has all different activities every day and week. Also the language training was outstanding. Her language has come on very well. Thank you.

My niece attends this nursery and when collecting her she is always very happy and talks about all of the exciting things she has done during the day. All the staff are very welcoming and discuss what she has been doing. Very good nursery.

This is the best nursery I've ever seen. The team is very friendly, they take care of every single child. When my daughter cries they give her a hug. When she started at the nursery she couldn't speak English, now after 5 months my 2.5-year-old child can speak simple words, she knows numbers 1-10 and colours as well. Everybody is very nice, they are always smiling and every day they are teaching them something new. The nursery is always very tidy - kids change their shoes - this is great. The best nursery in our region. My daughter loves this nursery.

My child really enjoys attending nursery, she talks about her teachers at home all the time. They are very friendly staff who give their love and support not only to my child but our family as well. Activities they provide are exciting to keep my child involved. She has come a long way since starting here. They offer so much more opportunities alongside their everyday curriculum, such as first aid, mighty monsters and dancing, all of which give my daughter confidence.

The word 'amazing' jumps to my mind about Shotley Bridge Nursery School Ltd. My granddaughter has developed so much and she loves attending nursery. Her key worker and the rest of the staff are fantastic and show a lot of care towards her. She attends nursery two days a week but attends extra sessions to take part in activities they provide. My daughter was so upset when I left her at first, but now they are all part of our family and we feel so comfortable.

I would 100% recommend this nursery, both my little ones have gone to Shotley Bridge Nursery and have enjoyed it. My little boy is 4 he has been going since he was 8 months. I will be sad when he leaves, it is a great nursery and the staff are lovely.

Excellent nursery. My children have been attending for a year now and they have come on leaps and bounds thanks to the wonderful staff at Shotley Bridge Nursery. I cannot recommend this nursery enough. The staff are very friendly and nothing is too much for them. They go above and beyond for each and every child. A truly fantastic nursery for your child to attend.

I cannot give enough praise to the staff who are upbeat and patient and it is evident that they genuinely care for the children in their care.

My little boy is 3 years old and loves attending nursery. He is making great progress in all areas of development. I have attended lots of event's planned by the nursery, including "we're going on a ghost" was a fabulous walk in fancy dress to the local park. It was a great way to meet other parents and watch him play with his friends. The staff are amazing and always go the extra mile to help. I know my son is in good hands when I drop his off at nursery. He always comes home singing and loves talking about what he has done on the day.

My little boy has settled in brilliantly and has come along amazingly since starting!

My daughter has now attended this nursery for a year and I'm extremely pleased with her progress so far. She has grown in confidence and developed very well. All the staff I have encountered have been friendly and welcoming, especially those within the streams. I'm thankful to all of the staff within the streams for looking after my daughter so well. She goes in with confidence every time and is never upset when I leave, which is clearly a good sign that she is happy at nursery. I originally chose the nursery due to the open airy feeling as opposed to other local nurseries. It's always clean and has great facilities and it's not full of the toys you would expect at home. They use natural products and allow the children to go outside which is great. I would highly recommend Shotley Bridge Nursery School.

If anyone is looking for a nursery, without a doubt I would point them in the direction of Shotley Bridge Nursery School, I thank them for their efforts in making our children's first experiences a fantastic one.

I used Shotley Bridge Nursery School for holiday cover over the 6 weeks holiday and my daughter could not have been happier. All the staff welcomed her in with open arms and despite her never attending the nursery as preschooler Grace loved being there. I know the new wrap around service is new to this nursery but I can not recommend them enough. Will definitely be looking to this nursery for future holiday care.

Shotley Bridge Nursery is, in my opinion, a fantastic, nurturing, educational and safe environment for any child.

The staff are always extremely amiable, professional and very caring and I would recommend the nursery to any parent.

My little girl loves going to nursery. Staff are very friendly and always get feedback each day she goes.
