September 14, 2024 at 1:17 pmI have my 2 little girls here, in rooms 2 to 3 and 3 to 5. The team are highly welcoming, the events are consistently well managed and exciting. Thank you highly much Spring Bensham Childcare centre team. Team are welcoming and supportive, highly cheerful and strongly recommended.

September 14, 2024 at 7:07 pmThey do so much with the kids, and we are consistently getting updates with photos of their days. My daughter especially loves the garden and being outside, playing with all the toys. The team are all highly welcoming, and my little girl (2.5) loves going in.

September 20, 2024 at 10:13 amIt attracts a diverse range of kids who all get along highly well together. The team are outstanding and genuinely care about the kids, which truly shows in the effort they put in every day. It’s so nice to be able to leave our daughter in Spring with the knowledge that she’s secure, enjoying herself and discovering so much. Spring Bensham is the perfect place for our daughter.

October 7, 2024 at 2:11 pmThere’s so much assistance from team and a lovely setting to learn and playtime. Couldn’t fault Spring Childcare centre Bensham, and I’m so glad I sent my daughter here as she’s still discovering and coming on more every day. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since attending.

October 10, 2024 at 6:41 amWe adore Spring Bensham, the team are wonderfully attentive and attentive, and we know our daughter (and previously our son) consistently received the best care there.
I wouldn’t hesitate to suggest it to other parents looking for a childcare centre in the area.

October 20, 2024 at 1:50 pmThis time around our youngest son managed to get a place here, so we can see the comparison to the others. We have to say this childcare centre is one of the best. They are highly attentive and attentive. The setting is lovely, and there is so much to do indoors and outdoors. Our son loves going to the childcare centre, and he has developed so much over the last six months. Thank you so much. We tried to get our oldest son a place here a few years back, but it was full, so we took him to a few nurseries around Gateshead instead.

November 23, 2024 at 7:17 pmI’m writing to let you know how I felt about my recent journey at Spring Childcare centre and hopefully want to get a resolution. My daughter started Spring Childcare centre in September. My journey at Spring hasn’t been a pleasant one. I have had such a bad journey from the first day my daughter started there. On the first day, I waited 45/50 mins outside before I was seen to, and on the next day not one team member could listen or honour my request to change the key worker of my daughter. I kindly asked them if they will be able to change the key worker as they assigned a male keyworker to my daughter. The reason I asked to change was for cultural reasons. I wasn’t able to have a male changing my daughter’s nappies. I kindly requested so many times to change key workers or at least for nappy changes for a female worker to change my daughter’s nappies for cultural reasons. They just outright refused, not even wanting to hear me out. To the manager of Spring Childcare centre:
Hello to whom it may concern.

The team are all highly welcoming and approachable. We wouldn’t choose anywhere else for our son now! Our little boy loves every day at Spring Childcare centre Bensham.

December 22, 2024 at 4:08 pmHowever, recently I’ve seen a decline in the childcare centre, which has led to my kid not wanting to be there. Too many accidents in which my kid is hurt and sometimes physically marked, not enough assistance at the bathroom to keep my kid spotless, resulting in needing creams applied to the area to soothe and not enough team or experienced team in my opinion. The cleanliness of the bathroom area is sometimes in need of attention, and the main playtime area too, could do with a hoover. The food also seems a little different/not as excellent as it used to be (this could be just a lack of detailing it properly on the app), but considering the new charges and not being allowed to bring in packed lunches – it could be better. The outdoor facilities are excellent, and the team are highly welcoming. Up until maybe the past six-plus months, I’ve loved this childcare centre, and so has my kid.

December 26, 2024 at 3:21 pmMy daughter has such a excellent time here, she has so many excellent experiences with the childcare centre, which are helping her develop, particularly socially, and she tries new foods at childcare centre that I’ve never managed to persuade her to eat at home! The childcare centre team are incredible; I can’t praise them enough.
Drew Rowe
January 9, 2025 at 5:35 amIt’s been a few weeks since he started childcare centre, and now he’s much happier and more relaxed, even better when he’s home.
Appreciate your hard work and wish you all the best. I was so worried about my son before taking him to Spring Childcare centre Bensham because his previous one couldn’t deal with him properly since he needs special attention.

February 6, 2025 at 8:10 pmMy daughter loves attending Spring Childcare centre Bensham, the setting is lovely, and the team are compassionate and nurturing and show interest in her growth and development.
My son also attended Spring, he has additional needs, and it was so lovely to see him thriving in an inclusive and attentive setting.

February 13, 2025 at 5:10 amWe have been truly impressed with the activities and experiences our 16-month-old has been exposed to since attending the childcare centre.
The team are all fantastic, welcoming and attentive. The childcare centre provided a comprehensive and kid-led settling-in programme, and we felt well-supported at every step.
We sense confident every day when we drop off our little boy that he will be well cared for and will receive all of the attention and stimulation he needs whilst there.
Our little one is excited every day when we arrive at the childcare centre; he has a strong attachment to his key worker and separates happily.
We would highly suggest the childcare centre. Spring Childcare centre is a fantastic setting with a kid-centred, nurturing approach to kid care.

March 16, 2025 at 5:31 pmShe and I cannot fault the team, setting or food. She loved the progression from 0-2/2-3 and then 3-5. Gradually bigger and more to do for her age. It’s a lovely childcare centre in a lovely setting. My little girl loves coming to childcare centre and misses it when it’s closed and even on the weekend.

March 21, 2025 at 9:06 amCouldn’t ask for more. My kids adore attending; they offer exceptional outside space, which the little boy loves. Remarkable childcare centre and remarkable team; they work excellent with my kids, one being autistic, and they are just fab with him.
Rowan Holland
April 2, 2025 at 12:39 pmThe team are attentive and pay close attention to kids’s needs. The team do care about the kids, which makes me, as a parent, more at ease. Well done. The service from this childcare centre is exceptional.

April 8, 2025 at 7:37 pmThis childcare centre isn’t operating as a business. It’s operating as a family of people who adore our kids and genuinely care about their safety, happiness and success.
My kid has thrived here. We are so pleased that we found Spring Childcare centre Bensham.
Micah Pierce
April 27, 2025 at 12:58 amAttentive, nurturing and creative for both of my kids. I adore that they spend time outside in the forest school and learn in many different ways! Updates is excellent – welcoming and personable consistently. We adore this childcare centre.

May 2, 2025 at 2:15 pmHe loves going in as he has made lots of friends, which has helped his self‑assurance and updates a lot. The staffs are highly welcoming and attentive to the needs of the kids, which is a plus point. We get regular updates on our son’s development and also his development. Our daughter was in Spring for about three years before she moved to preschool, and the benefit of Spring shows in her current day-to-day activity at school. We truly appreciate what the team at Spring do and will consistently suggest them any day. Thanks to all the exceptional team; keep up the great work. My son has developed significantly since he joined Spring Childcare centre Bensham.

June 8, 2025 at 10:48 amBoth my girls went there from the age of one (my husband did 40 years ago too).
It is nurturing for both kids and parents. As parents, we are leaving our hearts in your hands at a childcare centre – this one keeps parents well informed with pictures and updates on the app, and is consistently open to conversations and there for assistance. I could not suggest it enough. I adore this childcare centre!
