Our Nurseries

St. Gabriel's Nursery, is dedicated to nurturing the potential within every child. Operating under the statutory guidance of the Early Years Foundation Stage, we provide a rich and stimulating environment that builds upon each child's unique life experiences.We believe in creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere where families feel comfortable and supported. Our homely setting, combined with a flexible and collaborative approach, allows us to work closely with you to meet the individual needs of your growing child.

Our philosophy

We are committed to providing a nurturing, stimulating, and child-centered environment where every child can thrive. We believe in fostering a love of learning through play, collaboration, and respect.

Play is learning

We believe that children are naturally curious, and play is their way of exploring and understanding the world around them. At St. Gabriel's Nursery, we provide a safe and stimulating environment where children are encouraged to follow their curiosity, ask questions, and learn through hands-on experiences. We see play as the key to unlocking their potential.

The library

We're delighted to offer a vibrant lending library for all our parents and children. Discover a world of exciting stories with our wide selection of books, available for you to borrow and enjoy at home. Share the magic of reading together, whether it's a bedtime story or a cosy afternoon adventure. You can also enjoy a special story time with your child right here at nursery, before or after their session.

Our parents tell us, 'The library is a valuable resource, and we love choosing and sharing books together.' We believe in fostering a love of reading and creating special moments for families.

Soft play

Our vibrant soft play area, bursting with bright, exciting colors, is a daily highlight for all our children at our Heaton setting. Designed for endless fun and exploration, it's a safe and stimulating space where children can burn off energy, develop their physical skills, and let their imaginations soar. It's an integral part of our daily routine, ensuring every child enjoys active play and exciting adventures.

Walks and trips

Each week, children from all rooms embark on exciting explorations within our local community, fostering hands-on learning and discovery. Our adventures take us to diverse destinations, including the local shops, Gosforth Park, local care homes, Jubilee Road fire station, Iris Brickfield, Heaton Park, and Jesmond Dene. These experiences provide valuable opportunities for children to learn about their surroundings, interact with different members of the community, and develop a sense of belonging.
