She started with you when she was just 7 months old, and since then, you have been a big part of her growth and journey.\n\nTo Michelle, Demi, and Rachel, Sandra who have been there since the very beginning, and to all the amazing teachers and carers, I cannot thank you enough. 💖 Your patience, guidance, and genuine love have helped shape our daughter into who she is today.\n\nWe are deeply grateful for the warmth, kindness, and encouragement you’ve shown her every single day. From her first steps and words to her milestones and little victories, you were there to celebrate and nurture her. You were not just her carers, but her teachers, her second family, and her safe place.\n\nWe will always remember the love and support you’ve given us as parents and the joy you’ve brought into our little one’s early years. You will forever hold a special place in our hearts. 🌸✨",

We got there 30 minutes late due to the rain and we had to use the bus. I rang the number that booked the viewing for us and she said we were late but she can do a 5 minutes look around for us. We waited outside in the rain for about 20 minutes for her to come take us in. I decided to ring her again as it was getting too cold waiting for long outside with my wife and son. All for her to say over the phone that we came late and have to come back at another time. That’s really so disappointing for a first timer at the day nursery and I’m definitely not enrolling my son there. Definitely not a friendly act  at all.",

My little one Is in his final year at Durham Road branch before heading off to primary school. I can honestly say hand on heart both my children have loved attending the nurseries both Durham Road and Hylton Riverside branch, the care they've recieved is second to none the staff are so friendly and amazing with the children. I would reccomend apple blossom to any of my family, friends and anyone out there looking for childcare. They go above and beyond for you and your children. 5 stars from us. 😁",

What it's like to attend

Children enjoy their time in the nursery. Children have good relationships with staff and other children. Staff have high expectations for children's learning and children demonstrate high levels of engagement.

Inspector highlights

-   The manager and staff evaluate their practice and identify areas that they can improve. Changes they have made have had a positive impact on children's behaviour and concentration. 
-   Staff attend a range of training to strengthen their practice, including on safer sleeping and oral health. 
-   Staff know where children are in their learning and talk confidently about how they are helping children to develop their skills. 
-   The manager has thought carefully about the order in which children develop skills, such as feeding themselves. Clear progression is evident throughout the nursery. 
-   The staff in the nursery have a very good relationship with parents and use a range of methods to communicate with them. 

Areas to develop

-   1 extend understanding of the ways in which to help older children to develop their literacy skills 
-   2 strengthen communication with younger children and provide more opportunities for children to develop their vocabulary

I would like to thank Apple Blossom Day Nursery, Durham Road Branch, from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for taking care of our little one for the past 3 and a half years. She started with you when she was just 7 months old, and since then, you have been a big part of her growth and journey. To Michelle, Demi, and Rachel, Sandra who have been there since the very beginning, and to all the amazing teachers and carers, I cannot thank you enough. 💖 Your patience, guidance, and genuine love have helped shape our daughter into who she is today. We are deeply grateful for the warmth, kindness, and encouragement you’ve shown her every single day. From her first steps and words to her milestones and little victories, you were there to celebrate and nurture her. You were not just her carers, but her teachers, her second family, and her safe place. We will always remember the love and support you’ve given us as parents and the joy you’ve brought into our little one’s early years. You will forever hold a special place in our hearts. 🌸✨

Booked a viewing to come look around as I was initially excited to enroll my 2 year old son at the nursery after reading all the good reviews. We got there 30 minutes late due to the rain and we had to use the bus. I rang the number that booked the viewing for us and she said we were late but she can do a 5 minutes look around for us. We waited outside in the rain for about 20 minutes for her to come take us in. I decided to ring her again as it was getting too cold waiting for long outside with my wife and son. All for her to say over the phone that we came late and have to come back at another time. That’s really so disappointing for a first timer at the day nursery and I’m definitely not enrolling my son there. Definitely not a friendly act at all.

Over the past 6 years both of my children have attended Apple blossom nursery, different branches due to house moves but the care was all the same. My little one Is in his final year at Durham Road branch before heading off to primary school. I can honestly say hand on heart both my children have loved attending the nurseries both Durham Road and Hylton Riverside branch, the care they've recieved is second to none the staff are so friendly and amazing with the children. I would reccomend apple blossom to any of my family, friends and anyone out there looking for childcare. They go above and beyond for you and your children. 5 stars from us. 😁

Each and every member of staff is fantastic with children especially my 4 year old. He absolutely loves it here at Durham Road. Being a SEND Parent I know he can be a bit of a handful but I know he is safe, his needs are met and he is enjoying learning with activities that are planned for him. Infact I get jealous because I want to join in.
