Little things make a big difference

Welcome to our little nursery in the West End of Newcastle. We’re a small, family-run nursery caring for children aged 2 to 4, where every child feels safe, happy, loved and excited to be here.

Welcome to Scotswood

Every child is unique

Our nursery has a lovely, homely feel, and we’re proud to have a small, friendly team who really get to know the children and their families. Our staff have been with us for many years, and their experience, dedication and genuine love for what they do are a big part of what makes our nursery special.

Some children are confident from day one, while others need a little more time, reassurance and cuddles before they feel at home. We take the time to get to know each child, their personality, their interests and what makes them tick.

Discover our nursery

Helping little ones grow

Lots of play, laughter, messy activities, stories, exploring and opportunities to discover new things — always at a pace that feels right for each child.

Learning & Play

Children learn best when they are happy, interested and having fun. We follow the EYFS framework, but it’s never about ticking boxes.

Meet the Team

A dedicated, experienced team, including two qualified teachers, and Jill, who has been with us for an amazing 37 years!

Parent Information

Hours, funded places, fees, breakfast and lunches, uniform and everything else you need to know.

Families come back to us

A nursery that feels like home

Over the years, we’ve been lucky enough to build lovely relationships with the families who come through our doors. Many of our new families find us through recommendations from other parents, and one of the best things for us is seeing families return with their younger children.

We know how big a step it can be choosing a nursery. It’s about finding somewhere you feel comfortable leaving your child, knowing they will be cared for, listened to and treated as an individual.
