How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities make steady progress. Staff work closely with other professionals and parents to make sure that they understand the child and what they can do to help them develop to their full potential. The special educational needs coordinator spoke to the inspector about how they support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities.

Outdoor space

Staff organise the environment to provide children with outstanding experiences and activities, indoors and outdoors, to enthral and excite them in their play. Young children become deeply engaged. For example, they explore different ways to make marks on different surfaces in the garden.

We have had a brilliant experience with Jesmond Nursery. They are very well organised and well staffed. The staff are all very friendly and come across as genuinely caring about the children. Communication is effective, the menu is varied and the daily activities are both thoughtful and culturally diverse - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

My daughter is 5 this year she’s been in JN since she was 11 months old the place is amazing all the staff are fantastic so professional and caring and really know the children. The day trips they look the classes to were lovely - walking to exhibition park, Waterstones to pick books, Pets Corner, Theatre at Christmas ... list goes on. Thank you we’ll be sad to leave but she’s had a fantastic time and will definitely miss Gillian’s cooking xxx

My daughter has been going to the nursery since around 2.5 years old and now she has been there for nearly 2 years. We have had a very positive experience and she just said: " I just love my teachers and nursery, why can't it be open forever" . My daughter goes there twice a week and always asks when is it her day to go. I even had an evening when i arrived at 5.30 pm and she made to wait till 6 pm because she just wanted to play with her friends. We have had very small issues over the time ,which were dealt with appropriately and efficiently. I highly recommend this nursery . My daughter will be sad to leave once she starts the school this September.
