What you might pay
This setting does not publish its fees, and no national dataset holds them. This is what childcare costs across the council, as a starting point for the call.
What childcare usually costs in South Tyneside
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in South Tyneside from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

What it is like to attend
Children thrive in this caring nursery. Staff are dedicated to giving children the best possible start in life. Children come in happily and greet their friends with enthusiasm. Babies are confident and at ease in the nursery. They benefit from the caring, warm and nurturing approach of staff. Older children are incredibly excited to see the giant snails back in their room. They eagerly prepare food for them.
Staff use this opportunity to reinforce safety. For example, before children chop up the food, staff explain how they must hold the knife to keep themselves safe.
Parents appreciate the support that staff gave them during the COVID-19
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - strengthen communication with younger children to support their language development even further n focus professional development more effectively and monitor the effectiveness of training to raise the quality of education to a higher level.

What to ask them
None of this is in any national dataset and this setting has not published it, which is exactly why it is worth asking.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- Can I use my funded hours here? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Is there a place for my child's age? Baby rooms fill first and waiting lists are common.
- Who would my child's key person be? And how long have the staff been there. No dataset holds this and it matters more than anything above.
- Can I visit at a busy time? Mid-morning on a weekday tells you far more than an empty room after hours.
