New Beginnings (Moorside) Co. Ltd
We offer ‘30 hours childcare for working parents’.
We are a nursery where children can discover, achieve and express themselves through play and where mothers/fathers or carers can feel confident to leave their child in safety.
We recognise that a child’s first impressions of the world begin at home and it is therefore vital that both the nursery and parents work together. Parents are encouraged to share their ideas with us to help shape and mould the service we provide.
We aim to provide a secure, stimulating and caring environment that is welcoming and will encourage children to develop to their full potential.
We are committed to providing the highest standards of care in a comfortable atmosphere, while actively promoting equal opportunities and continuing to provide effective learning and opportunities for all children.
We offer a variety of sessions, including term time only places with only a 40% retainer payment for the 13 weeks the child will be absent from the setting.
We offer Free Play and Learn for 2 year olds and offer 3 year 15 hours education sessions.
We offer an afterschool club for children aged 4-8 years, from 3.00pm – 6.00pm, including a full cooked dinner and pudding.
We are open all year round (expect weekends, bank holidays and the week between Christmas and New Year).
We are limited by guarantee company and overseen by a board of voluntary directors based in the Consett area. Our nursery is run by a manager who is based onsite.
We pride ourselves on the good reputation we have formed since our first day of opening, due to our supportive parents in recommending us to their families and friends. We now have children who access our care from Consett and the wider Durham area.
