School's Out at Langley
GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Whitley Bay for children from birth to 8+, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in April 2023. Open since 2000, with 50 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 North Tyneside
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in North 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 at this welcoming and inclusive setting. They form close bonds with staff who are gentle, caring and kind. Children are happy, settled and are growing in independence. They benefit from secure daily routines and consistent expectations, which help them feel relaxed and secure. Support for children's personal development is a strength of the setting. Staff support children to talk about their feelings and emotions. For example, they encourage children to place their hands on a 'worry handprint' to seek reassurance and wish their worries away. Children choose a soft toy each morning which represents how they feel that day. Staff revisit this with them in the afternoon to see if their feelings have changed.
Staff encourage children to carry out activities, including registering themselves into the setting. This helps children feel a sense of belonging. Children receive plenty of clear praise and encouragement. This helps boost their confidence and self-esteem. Staff are very good role models. They promote positive behaviour through regular, gentle reminders about the importance of listening and being kind to others. Older children help out by becoming 'behaviour monitors', who seek out positive behaviour. Children are encouraged to record and share compliments about their friends. They talk with staff about differences, tolerance and respect for others.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- help staff to identify and make the most of opportunities to extend children's learning, to enhance teaching to the highest 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.
