North Shields

Footprints Day Nursery North Shields is a 22 place nursery which opened in 2016. We are a private day nursery providing care and education for babies and children from 6 weeks to 5 years on a term time basis. We offer a fun and inviting, home from home, learn through play environment to allow your little one to thrive in.

We are committed to providing a happy and safe environment for all children who attend our Nursery. Our aim is simply to be the best in the local North Tyneside area and to provide the highest standards of care and education for every child, whether they attend each day or for just one session per week. We endeavour to offer the highest quality setting and standard of care; we welcome the regular Ofsted inspection.

Children are encouraged to confidently explore the play room as well as freely accessing the outdoor area. Through observing children’s individual interests and needs, staff can successfully plan experiences and activities using the 7 areas of learning and development within the Early Years Foundation Stage.

At Footprints Day Nursery children can enhance their learning and development through new, exciting and stimulating activities whilst having free access to the enclosed, secure outdoor courtyard. The open plan courtyard has soft surfacing which is safe for all babies and children to explore with confidence. We have created an allotment area for the children to grow their own fruit and vegetables, which they can enjoy planting, taking care of and then enjoy during meal and snack times.
