VOTED SOUTH TYNESIDE NURSERY OF THE YEAR
FREE CHILDCARE WITH NO EXTRA FEES
We offer 15 hour and 30 hour funded places to eligible children, without any additional charges. Choose us for a hassle-free, enriching early education experience!
FEEL SAFE WITH OUR HAPPINESS GUARANTEE
We offer unlimited settling in sessions, so both you and your child can be sure that joining the Little Jems Family is right for you.
WE DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY…
Most nurseries charge you on days they are closed, like bank holidays. We don’t think that’s fair! So if we are closed, we don’t charge you. We also let you take holidays with notice, which other nurseries usually don’t allow.
Extras such as meals, nappies and wipes are always FREE.
