Our Nursery Rooms

Each Room with our nurseries is lovingly created to give the best experience, the best resources and the best excitement to your child,

By using the Curiosity Approach within our nurseries we are truly able to offer a natural home-from-home experience.

This approach, and accreditation, builds on well known and established early years theorists, such as Reggio, Steiner, Te Whāriki and Montessori, in providing children with an environment, experiences, activities and resources which foster their in-built need to explore, try things out and engage in a high level of sustained shared thinking. We enhance the environments and resources that we already have in the nursery. We are introducing resources that are “real” and authentic, rather than plastic, to inspire awe and wonder and to enable children to handle items that are made of natural materials to gain skills and a level of understanding to support their learning and development at a deeper level.

Explore What each room has to offer:

DinoBabies – 0-2 Year Olds

Sensory Room – All Ages

Triceratops 2-3 Year Olds

FUNDING AND ASSISTANCE

We know that, no matter how great or how cost-efficient we try to make the nursery, the cost of day nursery can put many mums and dads off choosing it as an option.

There may, however, be help out there to assist you. There are a range of Government schemes open to parents that can make nursery affordable and we will do everything we can to help you understand the choices and access the funding that you might be eligible for.

Putting the 'Care' Back into Daycare

“Dinotots Daycare is situated in the heart of Blyth’s town centre, commanding an outstanding presence in an 1889 three story building which was originally built for the Bank (Read it’s amazing History Here);

We have transformed this beautiful historic space in to a homely environment for the children to explore whilst keeping as many of the original features to create character for all the children to enjoy. Taking advantage of the large space each age group has been given their own dedicated floor where they can develop, learn and grow throughout their time here. As we’re in the perfect location, we also greatly immerse ourselves into the local community having visits to shops, care homes, the local library, harbour and local parks to support children’s knowledge of the world they live in and their local community.

Come join us and let the world hear your roar!.”
