OutstandingTakes funded hoursBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Newcastle upon Tyne for babies from 9 months up to school age, open 07:30 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They take the funded hours. They do not publish prices, so ask. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in July 2021, though that is 5 years ago now. Open since 2018.
What it costs
Prices change without notice. Treat these as what to ask about, not a quote.
Funded hours
We accept 15 and 30 hours free childcare for eligible children. We offer this on a "stretched offer" basis, which averages your funded hours to 21 hours per week across the full year or 15 and 30 hours per week term time only which is across 38 weeks of the year.
Worth knowing. If your child attends using government funding, there is a small extra curricular charge per funded session. This covers the cost of all included meals, snacks, and supplies listed above that are not covered by the government funding rate.
What childcare usually costs in Newcastle upon Tyne
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Newcastle upon Tyne from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

Still missing for Plantpots Jesmond
- What it costs
- Nappies
- Waiting list
No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
What to ask them
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
