A Parent's Journey...
As a cooperative we value and understand the need for parents to choose the best nursery for their child. It can be a daunting and anxious time for parents who have bonded with their new baby and been the main carers in the start of their lives. The thought of leaving your baby with someone you don't know in an environment you equally don't know or have any expertise in choosing can be a very stressful time. At Childsplay our staff and procedures are built around this understanding and we support all parents who make their initial inquiries into the type of care we can offer them as well as their child.
We hope that your exploration of our website will alleviate your concerns, anxieties and questions that are circulating in your mind, but in a further attempt to put you at ease please read the recent and ongoing journey's of some of our current parents. These reflections are based on real life experiences and feelings from parents who were once in a similar position to you. There is support at our cooperative... and it starts from the first contact you make with us and grows beyond the time you leave.

“I visited Childsplay Nursery that my Grandson attends. I was very impressed by how happy and engaged the children were, the cleanliness throughout the nursery as well as the staff being very friendly and knowledgeable. Childsplay have a lovely garden environment which my grandson adores. The meals are all made on site with a good choice of menus on offer. My grandson particularly loves their lemon and courgette cake! The staff offer lots of variety for the children ie, allotment, forest school and trips to local areas. I wish nursery’s like Childsplay was around when my children were little. My Grandson loves his time here!”
“Childsplay Nursery is second to none! The staff are wonderful and have felt like an extended family to us. Both my children benefited from an extremely nurturing and stimulating environment as well as a range of exciting activities at no extra cost to us (e.g., forest school, allotment, inter-generational project). The quality of the food is outstanding as is the outdoor space. A truly magical place for young children! The nursery management is excellent as is communication with parents.”
“Childsplay Claremont Nursery Cooperative is the best nursery around and I wouldn’t send my children anywhere else. The stability and consistency of the staff team makes transitions for the children so much easier and they go above and beyond in the care they provide. The food provided is amazing and they are supportive of any special diets needed. The garden is such a special place for the children to play and the extra activities offered (including forest school, allotment, trips into Newcastle) give the children such an exciting and varied experience. The cooperative ethos makes Childsplay such a special place where everything is to make the children’s experience the best it can be.”
