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
The nursery is very well embedded into the local community. Leaders and staff take great pride in the positive relationships they have with the families who attend.
Children directly benefit from the open communication that takes place between home and nursery. Parents and carers enthuse about the support their children receive. They say the nursery has helped their children make good progress in their development and that staff are approachable and supportive.
The nursery provides an aspirational curriculum for all children and maintains a focus on ensuring that children are socially and emotionally ready for the transition to school when the time comes. The carefully planned environment promotes high levels of focus and engagement. As a result, children demonstrate positive attitudes to learning, and they are calm and purposeful in their play. Staff closely monitor children's development and use this information to ensure that every child makes good progress in their learning and development.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- further support staff's understanding of the curriculum so that planned learning intentions are well embedded into their everyday interactions with children n develop strategies to further support children's emerging communication and language skills.

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.
