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.

“Review Oct 2024: 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.”
