Bolland Hall Day Nursery

My daughter has been attending Bolland for the past year and is due to leave to start school nursery in September and I don’t know who is going to be more devastated about her moving on; she has loved every minute of every day she has been there.
She began her nursery journey in a large branded bursary in Newcastle city centre which she did enjoy but she has truly blossomed since her move to Bolland due to the fact that there is such a caring learning environment, staff are so friendly and there is the outstanding outside space which they make full use of.
The topics are interesting and well integrated into the daily routine; the lunches are healthy and nutritious and the staff encourage independence and a group feel to meal times. Children are given specific tasks which sets them in good stead for starting school.
Overall I could not recommend this nursery more.

This nursery provides excellent learning awe and wonder! Play experiences are varied and child centred. In the past this nursery has met the needs of my autistic step grandson and now has given my granddaughter an excellent platform of learning experiences to be ready to continue that as she starts school in September.
Staff encourage a wide range of activities both inside and out! Focus is on the individual child and how best to support their learning!
As an E Y retired practitioner I have always been thankful that my grandchildren gave had such a good nursery education, thank you

My son has been at Bolland since he was 1 year old and has made some incredible connections and relationships since he’s been there. His social development has been remarkable, and although he has some additional needs his overall development has come along amazingly with all of the additional support he receives from the manager and the team. I will be really sad when he has to leave to go to another school, and I know he will miss it terribly.

My niece attends Bolland Hall Day Nursery so I was already aware of the nursery and wanted my daughter to attend. My niece still talks about her time at Bolland and ask my daughter if she was at nursery and if she had a good time. Although my daughter was initially upset for me to leave her the taster sessions helped her settle prior to starting, the staff are extremely helpful, caring and supportive, which also helped to her feel safe when she started. She has developed in confidence and enjoys going to nursery, and always has a good time. The range of activities and development are very good and the staff keep you well informed. I would highly recommend the nursery which provides a safe, caring and nurturing environment. The staff are extremely helpful, knowledgeable and caring, and take part in a range of activities which whilst fun are great for the children’s learning and development.

I would thoroughly recommend this nursery. It has a great, nurturing family atmosphere with excellent, attentive staff, we trust them implicitly. They’ve helped us with our little boy since Easter last year. His speech has improved so much along with his social skills! He gets great home-cooked meals every day which has also encouraged him to eat a greater variation of foods. It’s always clean and considerably tidy! Bolland Hall is everything we could want for our son embarking on his school journey and we’ll be sad when the day comes to no longer leave him in their excellent and very capable care.

What a lovely place for children to learn and grow! My little grandson has been going to Bolland Hall Nursery for almost a year now and he has settled in really well.
The staff are extremely friendly and approachable and nothing is too much trouble. Two ladies, in particular, keep us informed of his progress and any issues, which are few and far between!
The children have lots of activities to choose from inside and they have also have access to a great little, secure and shady, grassed outdoor play area with a mud kitchen, slides, playhouses etc. Home-cooked food is freshly prepared and there’s not much that he won’t eat.
When searching initially for a nursery, we had several personal recommendations from friends and colleagues and we were able to have 2-3 taster sessions to meet the staff and to see how he got on. This was invaluable as we were able to see for ourselves what a great place it is.
We would also now add our recommendation to the growing list!

I cannot recommend this nursery enough, the staff are brilliant with both child and parent, they make you feel relaxed with leaving your child in their care, knowing they are in safe hands, and my daughter comes out of every session with a huge smile on her face! She’s coming on leaps and bounds since she started, it will be a sad day for us both when it comes to her leaving for school.

My little Boy has been attending for a year now. It is such a lovely nursery. They teach a wide range of subjects to children, they encourage children to do as much as they can by themselves to help them learn more independently. The friendships between the children are lovely to see. I cannot wait to see how much my child learns over the next year and a half in preparation for nursery.
