Nursery wait times
I've heard about seriously long waiting lists to get children into nursery but wondering if anyone knows if that's the same in/around Gateshead? I'm not sure how far in advance we need to start looking at trying to book a place? If anyone knows anything or has any advice that would be fab 😊

We called Tik tok or whatever it’s called and she was an arsehole told us not to bother, and it’s 50 pound to put your name down 😵
Thank you both! I think I'll steer clear of tiktok then 😂

It depends on which nursery you’re wanting and whether they have a waiting list. The one we have sent ours to is very popular and I actually put his name down when I was still pregnant! (And the same for his little sister) … he’s been at that nursery 2.5 years and I’m so glad we chose it so I’m happy we were prepared. They said it was also advised to put them down for 5 full days a week so you’re guaranteed your chosen days then you can reduce them nearer the time if you don’t end up needing full time. So I did that and then reduced to 3 days a week 👍 Best to call the nurseries you’re thinking of going to though and asking if you need to be that prepared (personally I thought it was ridiculous 😂 but now I’m glad we asked lol) highly recommend physically going to view the nursery too as you get a feel for what’s right for your little one ❤️
