December 4, 2017 at 12:00 amWe are so pleased that we chose St Gabriel’s Gosforth for our children. Having moved from the sister nursery we were worried it wouldn’t live up to our high expectations, but we are really happy with it. The facilities are stunning and the staff friendly and welcoming. The management team have been brilliant at addressing queries promptly. Above all our daughter is happy and has come on leaps and bounds in her learning since starting. Her individual needs are also met very effectively.

December 6, 2017 at 12:00 amMy daughter started at St Gabriel’s two days a week when it first opened in September; she was five months old at the time. From the moment she started I have felt confident that she is being well cared for and as her needs have changed so has what has been provided. She now attends full time and we always pick up a happy, confident, satisfied, albeit slightly tired, girl.
Her weaning has gone extremely smoothly thanks to the excellent interaction and relationship I am able to have with the staff and her days are filled with appropriate and stimulating activities. The staff are all knowledgeable, friendly and approachable and the facilities are fantastic. She has already changed so much since she started and I really look forward to seeing her grow up with the staff and facilities at St Gabriel’s.

January 18, 2018 at 12:00 amWe are thrilled with the care our daughter is receiving at St Gabriels. They are caring, attentive and keep us well informed of all she has done that day. They prepare amazing sensory, crafts and music activities for the children. The facilities are exceptionally well designed to encourage fun and learning. Our little girl settled in so quickly and is excited to go there.

July 14, 2023 at 12:00 amSt Gabriel’s has a prefect location and is purpose built. So first impressions are excellent. However, the management are not the best in communicating with parents.
And if you have a complaint they always have an excuse. And make you feel like you are complaining over nothing. They are not very accommodating if you urgently need help (we have no family here).
You provide nappies and wipes even though they are the most expensive nursery setting in the area. Again mentioned many times but never acknowledged.
A number of parents have made valid suggestions in the past and nothing has been done. The desserts were changed from high sugar items to fruits for a short time.
A number of times my child’s bum wasn’t wiped properly/checked.
No aprons when painting and numerous clothes are stained.
Everything is talked about in front of other parents, sometimes sensitive issues.
No air con, very very hot in the summer months.

July 26, 2023 at 12:00 amSt Gabriels Nursery Gosforth is a great nursery with an outstanding approach to childcare. Both my son and my daughter have been privileged to attend the setting and the care and attention showered on them has been nothing short of wonderful. They truly make my child feel loved, so much that they run to start the day at nursery and cry whenever they have to leave. It’s an absolute pleasure to see the happy faces whenever I pick up. Handovers are great and I am always informed of changes to routines and anything of interest. The staff seem happy and supported and genuinely seem to care for my daughter and my son when he attended. I can’t recommend them enough!

August 3, 2023 at 12:00 amMy three-year-old daughter has attended the setting since she was three months old, and I can’t say enough about the care and attention St Gabriel’s provides her. My daughter skips into the nursery, and the tired child I get back every evening has tales of wonder and laughter and happiness – it truly is her favourite place. I can’t thank the team enough for what they have done for my little girl- she truly loves her happy place. The manager and deputy manager are wonderful and very helpful – nothing is too much bother – they go above and beyond with me and my daughter. The girls, likewise, they too do more than I expect. Yes, there are some gripes, but considering what we get back, they are very, very minor!

August 18, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son has been at St Gabriels for just over 2 years and we have always been impressed with the level of care and service that he receives. As a parent looking for a suitable nursery during the crazy time of the pandemic, we knew immediately St Gabriels was the right one for us, as the warmth of the staff and transparency of daily routines gave us instant reassurance. He has enjoyed moving up through the rooms and we have enjoyed getting to know all of the staff as they have helped him grow and develop. Making strong connections with his key workers as they have played a big role in his time there. We look forward to sending our youngest there in January and I know this will help to ease me with the transition of going back to work.
