About New Beginnings Nursery
A place where little lives begin to flourish
At New Beginnings Nursery, we believe every child deserves a safe, happy, and inspiring start in life. Since opening our doors in 2007, we’ve proudly supported families in our community—growing alongside the children we care for and helping them take their very first steps into the world with confidence.
As we approach 20 years of nurturing young minds in 2026, our commitment remains the same: to provide a warm, friendly environment where every child feels valued, supported, and excited to learn.
Learning Through Play
At New Beginnings, we believe children learn best through play, discovery, and meaningful experiences. We provide a wide range of activities that help children develop socially, emotionally, and academically—building strong foundations for their future.
Our environment is designed to be:

Secure and nurturing
so children feel safe to explore

Stimulating and engaging
encouraging curiosity and creativity

Inclusive and supportive
promoting equal opportunities for all
Our Home-from-Home Approach
A warm, safe space
Choosing the right nursery is a big decision, and we’re here to make that choice easier. Our setting has been designed to feel welcoming, calm, and supportive—giving both children and parents complete peace of mind.
From the moment your child joins us, they’ll be welcomed by our experienced and qualified team, who are passionate about early years care and education. We build strong relationships with families across Consett and nearby areas, ensuring every child receives the attention and encouragement they need.

New beginnings nursery is fantastic. My little girl has attended from around 9 months old and she is now 2. All of the staff are friendly and caring and really build loving and caring relationships with the children. I never worry about my daughter when she is there she absolutely loves going and always has loads of fun. The communication between staff and parents is really good and nothing is ever too much bother. The management are really helpful with advising on hours and costs and entitlements which is also really helpful.
New Beginnings are an excellent nursery. We were in urgent need and they accommodated us in no time. The settling-in days were brilliant and all staff are so friendly and welcoming. The staff are very knowledgeable and excellent with my child. My little boy loves going to nursery and has so much fun while he is there. He often will run into the nursery shouting excitedly. The food is excellent that is provided by the nursery as they have their own chef that cooks nutritious meals for the kids. The nursery keeps in contact with you well and it is very easy, they use the app for communication. The management are open and friendly and will go the extra mile for each child. They have their own private outside space that the children spend a lot of time in. Overall this nursery is brilliant and my son loves coming here.
