Bensham Grove Nursery
Bensham Grove Nursery
Our Sidney Grove site offers high quality provision indoors and outdoors for children from birth to 5. It is a responsive space that is light, airy and natural, in terms of the choice of colours, furniture and storage of resources and equipment. The walls are plain and light in colour, giving us a blank canvas for documenting and sharing some of the learning that takes place there. The intention is that when anyone walks into our main nursery space, it is very clear what happens there. Our reflections on children’s play are presented in very accessible ways, along with thoughtfully taken photographs and where appropriate, children’s work, so that the child’s voice is what a visitor sees and hears.
The Nest and The Den for children from Birth to 2
We are proud to be the only Gateshead Local Authority maintained Nursery School providing high quality education and care 5 days a week from 8:00am – 6:00pm, 50 weeks a year (at our Sidney Grove site) for ages birth to 4.

Our Deckham site is a term time Nursery School which offers 2 year funded places in our Dicovery Hub and 3 and 4 year old 15 hour and 30 hour places in the Investigation Hub. Both groups of children share a wonderful space that extends the ethos of our main school and is a responsive space that is light, airy and natural, in terms of the choice of colours, furniture and storage of resources and equipment. The walls are plain and light in colour, giving us a blank canvas for documenting and sharing some of the learning that takes place there. The intention is that when anyone walks into our main nursery space, it is very clear what happens there. Our reflections on children’s play are presented in very accessible ways, along with thoughtfully taken photographs and where appropriate, children’s work, so that the child’s voice is what a visitor sees and hears.
We offer morning sessions 9:00 – 12:00, afternoon sessions 12:45 – 3:45 and 30 hour spaces from 9.00 – 3.00.
As a Nursery School we are staffed with a Headteacher, a qualified teacher and a very experienced staff who provide the highest quality learning experiences indoors and outdoors.
