Little Angels at Bedlington
OutstandingBirth to 5Long established
A day nursery in Bedlington for children from birth to 5, open 07:00 to 19:45, 7 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in September 2022. Open since 2013, with 60 places.
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 Northumberland
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Northumberland 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 of all ages are excited to enter this stimulating and vibrant nursery. They have excellent attachments to staff, who welcome them with huge smiles and cheery 'good mornings'. Babies hold out their arms, eagerly reaching for their key person. Older children rush in, hurrying to hang up their coats and bags, impatient to see their friends and for their learning to begin. This highlights the extent to which children feel safe and secure in the nursery.
Children become deeply engrossed in their play and show exceptional levels of concentration and motivation for their ages. They develop a thirst for learning and confidently demonstrate their wealth of skills and knowledge. Older children are articulate in communicating their interests to others. They instinctively and confidently work together to extend their play. For example, children choose to hold a fairy tea party and want to develop the activity to make houses for the fairies. They work proficiently together to design the houses and collect the resources which they need. As other children become interested, they are welcomed and their ideas are listened to and valued.
Children demonstrate exemplary behaviour and show exceptionally high levels of respect for each other and adults. For example, as older children ride on bicycles, they are especially courteous. They ensure that they do not disrupt other children's play by not bumping into them. Babies are curious and explore their environment with interest and confidence. Younger babies intently watch other babies as they bang beakers together. They beam with delight as older babies share the beakers.

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.
