Friday the 2nd of March.

Due to the College closing we cannot open Tynemouth Nursery at North Shields and Tynemouth Nursery at TMC.

Tynemouth, Billy Mill, Jesmond and Zone4kids Whitley Lodge will open. Our staff numbers maybe lower, so please be understanding and if you can please phone nursery before setting off to ensure staff have arrived to maintain our ratios. We will keep monitoring the situation and keep you updated during the day.

Zone4kids Coquet Park is scheduled to open but if the school announces it will close we will also close.

Thank you for your understanding in these difficult circumstances.

ADVERSE WEATHER 28th February 2018

After taking into account the weather forecast, road conditions and the safety of parents/carers and staff in travelling to and from Nursery we have decided to close at 2.00 pm.

We hope this will make travel easier for everyone. Please drive carefully.

At the present time we will be opening as usual tomorrow morning but please wait with your child if there are not enough staff to maintain the correct ratios.

We thank you for your understanding and co-operation in these most treacherous weather conditions.

ADVERSE WEATHER

We have managed to open today at all settings (28th of February) with the exception of Zone4kids Coquet Park as the school has closed, well done to the staff! Can we politely ask all parents/carers for your co-operation during these adverse weather conditions.

We need to maintain staffing ratios and you may need to wait with your child until the required staff have arrived safely.

During these adverse weather conditions we will look carefully at the weather forecast and if there is no improvement forecasted we will close earlier in order to allow more time for safe pick ups and staff to get home safely.

We will keep you informed during the day.

Thank you for your co-operation.

New Tynemouth Nursery Manager

A huge Tynemouth Nursery welcome to our new Manager, Melanie Robertson, who started last week. Melanie, pictured here being welcomed by Director, Kaye Kilsby, has an impressive C.V. and a wealth of childcare experience, she joins us from Kids First where she was Deputy Manager. The pull of our fantastic Nursery was too much for Melanie and she is loving her start in post.

Already she has made lots of suggestions to further improve the Nursery and the first of these is to move her office downstairs so it will be much easier for her to see the parents more often. This will be finished soon. I am sure you will all join Kaye and I in wishing Melanie all the very best for the future in her new role as Nursery Manager of Tynemouth Nursery.
