Stanley's at Hebburn
OutstandingBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Hebburn for children from birth to 8+, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in June 2022. Open since 2012, with 41 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 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 enjoy superb relationships with staff at this extremely inclusive and welcoming setting. Staff plan outstanding opportunities for children's physical development. They promote 'tummy time' for babies to help develop their strength.
Older children develop their muscles as they climb, stretch and swing in hammocks in the enclosed garden. Children develop their coordination by using a wide range of tools. For example, they mix and dig with different utensils using dough, mud and sand. Staff support children to strengthen their core muscles and develop their sense of balance. For example, they move the sandpit from the floor to standing when children start to pull up to their feet.
Children are extremely happy, settled and secure. Support for their behaviour is excellent. Children benefit from a wide variety of highly stimulating and challenging activities and experiences. For example, staff plan outstanding opportunities for children to learn about nature and the wider world around them. Children explore life cycles as they care for tadpoles and caterpillars and watch them grow. They take part in bird watching and hunt for bugs with binoculars. Children plant and help to grow cucumbers, strawberries and tomatoes in the nursery's allotment.

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.
