    They are all lovely with my daughter, and all know her name even if they work in a different room. They are all genuinely interested and care for the kids. They have a sensory room and a large outdoor area. The meals are varied and nutritious. The kids go in happily and come out happily. I would fully suggest this childcare centre, and it is near a bank. Exceptional team and childcare centre.

    The team are welcoming, supportive, polite, compassionate, attentive and understanding. The sensory room is outstanding and I suggest this as the number one day childcare centre to go to. I truly like this day childcare centre, my daughter absolutely loved it.

    I sense like we are part of another family and they adore the kids as much as the parents do. They go above and beyond to be flexible, informative and just easy to deal with. I would one hundred percent suggest this childcare centre to anyone looking for childcare and I couldn’t suggest them enough. Thank you for all that you do for us. It is appreciated from the bottom of our hearts. My journey with YMCA Day Childcare centre is just incredible.

    They have listened to all my concerns and worked with me to give my son the best help he needs. I adore that they do not miss anything out, they tell you everything he’s done through the day. if there is an accident, they do not wait until pick up to tell you, they will give you a call to keep you in the loop. My little boy is not highly great at joining in and meeting new people, but he loves going to childcare centre. I could not fault this childcare centre. They have been so supportive and taken the time to actually speak to you. My little boy is not highly great with his speech, and we learnt that when he’s shouting for one name, this is his key worker. This is a big thing for him as he has only ever had a bond with myself and his dad, so knowing he’s feeling so comfortable at childcare centre enough to ask for his key worker is incredible. YMCA Day Childcare centre team are incredible with my little boy!

    My 2-year-old daughter has been at the YMCA Day Childcare centre since she was 9-months-old and truly enjoys her time there. She also loves the food at childcare centre, and I have no worries about her egg allergy as she has an egg-free menu. The team are lovely. Highly suggest. Truly excellent team, welcoming, and the kids adore them.

    The team are excellent, and every one of them has left a lasting impression on my daughter; she still plays childcare centre at home and uses the names of old team! My daughter comes home every day with dinner medals, which is consistently a sign of great food. On the weekend, she still asks to go to the childcare centre for lunch. The team are absolutely lovely to both kids and parents and if there’s ever an issue, they’re quick to resolve and assist in any way they can. The only letdown is there are not many updates via the app, but I think that’s because they’re so hands-on with the kids, so can’t truly complain! I changed my daughter to YMCA 18 months ago, and highly quickly she settled in, and we noticed a major difference in her compared to her old childcare centre!

    She has grown in self‑assurance, made lots of new friends and enjoys going every day. The setting is bright and inviting, and truly appreciate the inclusiveness in celebrating various holidays with the kids. The team do not miss anything, her key workers have been excellent and tell us everything she’s done throughout the day during pick up, and if she’s feeling unwell, they call immediately. Both the manager and deputy are approachable and have been highly supportive of us during a hardship in our family. Thank you so much for all that you do! YMCA team have been incredible with my little girl!

    My daughter has been in the baby, toddler and now pre school rooms and all have been a pleasure. I am excited for my son who has just started. All the team have a close bond with the kids which is lovely to see. The activities they do are so varied and well thought out. I couldn’t fault them in anything. Thank you for all your hard work. I am exceptionally thankful we found this childcare centre.

    The team have been absolutely fabulous with him even from just his first visit and I truly appreciate the highly quick response I consistently get from the childcare centre when I ring up. I am also truly grateful for all the updates I get about his day during pick ups. The baby room also seems truly bright and cheerful and well-provisioned which is why I chose YMCA Day Childcare centre. Couldn’t be happier – thank you! My little one has been attending YMCA Day Childcare centre for about 6 months now and he’s truly grown in self‑assurance!

    All team are welcoming and well‑informed. I am highly cheerful with the provision they provide and sense confident leaving my kid there. I am consistently so impressed with the range of enjoyable and engaging activities on offer for my 2-year-old.

    He loves it! The change in his behaviour is incredible, the team are like family, when I’m picking him up we catch up on what’s been done in the day, how my little one has been! The updates is incredible! Not only face to face updates also online via the online journal, emails etc. Highly welcoming, helped my little one massively! He consistently comes out cheerful and in-home life he will say “mummy I’m going to tell childcare centre this, I’m going to tell childcare centre that!”
    My little one classes YMCA childcare centre as his family and will be sad when it’s time to move on! I’m so cheerful with them I am sending my little girl there as well, she can’t wait to go! Trust these people massively! Nothing but fab journey. My little one has been attending childcare centre for a year!

    The care of YMCA Day Childcare centre is exceptional, we have updates via emails for everything we need to know, there’s a vast amount of activities for the kids to dive into, as well as a lovely private garden, upon visiting it is consistently exceptionally spotless. The food menu is incredible too! All team are welcoming and welcoming. We truly adore this childcare centre. My son has been attending this childcare centre for four years now and is transitioning over to reception in September, I wish he could stay we adore it that much.

    All members of team are incredible with our daughter and make sure she is cheerful every day she is there. She has come on so well with her independence and discovering and she loves being there, we are exceptionally cheerful. Updates with management is exceptional and they are consistently there to help with any questions you have. I highly suggest this childcare centre. 10 out of 10. We adore the YMCA childcare centre, it’s such a lovely atmosphere for kids to playtime and learn.

    All of the team are incredible! They are all so compassionate and attentive to my little boy and have welcomed him in as part of the YMCA family. They are so accommodating to our needs and consistently there when we need help or assistance. Both the Manager and Deputy are highly approachable and consistently so compassionate. All of the preschool team have been incredible with our little boy, we cannot thank them enough for the assistance and adore they give our little boy on a daily basis. Our baby is also joining the YMCA family in May and I know he will be in the best hands with the best people. Thank you so much for all that you do! I cannot suggest YMCA enough!

    He started when he was eighteen months and was truly clingy and quite unsettled. The team have been lovely, calm and patient with him, reassuring him that he is secure and cheerful. Slowly, he’s started to delight in his days at childcare centre much more.
    The values of the YMCA shine through the childcare centre. The team seem cheerful and genuinely care for the kids. Parents chat at the gate at pick up time and the kids come out smiling. Thank you YMCA! I’m so cheerful I found this childcare centre for my son.

    The team are enjoyable, compassionate, engaging and well‑informed practitioners. We consistently sense 100% confident in our daughter’s safety, care and early education when dropping her off for the day. While our daughter has been in and out of childcare centre this past year, due to Covid restrictions, she has been supported truly well on returning to childcare centre, which she has found quite difficult at times. We know she has lovely bonds with her carers and if she needs a cuddle and to quietly read a story with one of the team, then that’s what she’ll get. Despite the interruptions to her time in childcare centre, she has come on in leaps and bounds and we’re truly proud of her development which we know the YMCA team have played a huge part in. She loves to surprise us with the things she’s learned at childcare centre and speaks truly warmly of her friends and carers there. We are exceptionally cheerful with the care our daughter receives at the YMCA Childcare centre in North Shields.

    The rooms have consistent team which benefits the kids during their settling-in period and I receive a thorough handover each time he is in, as well as an update on their app. It is a bright inviting setting and my baby goes in smiling which is a big relief for any parent, I have chosen to give this setting four stars, my only criticism would be to update the app more as I have only received one update since April. My son started at this setting earlier this year and I am so cheerful with the care he has received.
