About this day nursery

Green Tree Childcare in Newcastle Upon Tyne offers a nurturing environment where children from 1 to 4 years old thrive. Open all year round, Monday to Friday from 7:30 am to 6 pm, the nursery ensures children feel safe and secure, greeted warmly by staff who are highly attuned to their individual needs.

The dedicated team identifies and supports children with special educational needs and/or disabilities, implementing clear plans and even learning sign language to aid communication development. Children are encouraged to be curious, engaging with a variety of activities and resources.

A strong emphasis is placed on developing an appreciation for books, fostering early literacy skills. Outdoor learning is a key feature, with children of all ages enjoying physical activity in the garden, riding on toys, and taking managed risks like navigating a ramp.

Babies, for instance, are encouraged to crawl through tunnels and use the fence to pull themselves to standing. Parents frequently commend the setting for the daily information shared, both verbally and through an online application, and appreciate the introduction of stay-and-play sessions.

My little girl has been here for 2 weeks now and I honestly couldn’t thank the staff enough for the help towards her in nursery. From the minute she goes through that door she’s comfortable with her arms out for staff. Very helpful when it comes to communication also from management! Couldn’t fault them🩷

Please avoid this nursery. The owner and management are incompetent. They are more interested in making money than the needs of the children. Children with additional needs are not adequately supported and ratio's ate not met. There are lots of other nurseries in and around the area.
