Tik-Tok is a non-profit making children’s daycare nursery in Gateshead established in 1991. We provide full-time and part-time places for babies and children aged six weeks to five years. In 2004 Tik-Tok moved to a brand new purpose-built Community Nursery, in Old Fold Road, Gateshead opposite Gateshead International Stadium. Each daycare nursery playroom is monitored by CCTV and has it's own secure garden area.

The nursery works in close partnership with parents, and we promote an environment of high quality daycare through our key worker development programme. We enable children to reach their full potential in an exciting, stimulating and educational atmosphere, geared to each child’s individual needs. This encourages them to progress and learn in a warm, secure and caring environment.

“The good parternship with parents is effective in helping children achieve the early learning goals. Parents receive clear and well presented information ..through a brochure, newsletters and notice boards. ..Parents are encouraged to linger in the nursery and time is allocated each day so they can talk about their child's activities at home and share information with staff about their child."

Tik Tok offers equal opportunities with regard to religious persuasion, racial origin, gender, disabilities, culture and linguistic background. Each child will be treated as an individual and given both the time and the opportunity to develop their own self-esteem, self worth and value within the nursery environment. Children of both sexes will be given the opportunity to participate in all areas of play. Tik Tok offers equal opportunities in our selection, training and development of staff. Here at Tik-Tok we constantly work to ensure high standards are achieved and maintained.

"There is good organisation of space, staff and resources. Staff are very aware of the different and changing needs of the children....within a warm, welcoming and child orientated environment.”
