Free Spirits Nursery
Free Spirits Nursery - Where fun and friendship comes first!
Free Spirits Nursery is a superb 88 place childcare facility for children from birth up to 5 years of age.
We are based on the Freeman Hospital site in High Heaton, Newcastle upon Tyne and are part of The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. This means you can be reassured that our standards are as high as those you would expect of our internationally renowned healthcare.
Places are available to employees of the Trust as well as non-employees, so you don’t have to work here to place your child in our nursery.
Our aim
We aim to provide the highest quality childcare and education by creating a safe and stimulating environment where children have the opportunity to develop socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually, in order that they may reach their full potential whilst having the best possible fun.

Laying foundations for learning
Our well balanced programme of play and educational activities ensure children receive a broad and balanced curriculum, appropriate for their age and stage of development.
Improving outcomes for children and families
The nursery is regulated by The Early Years Directorate within the Office for Standards in Education (OFSTED) and complies with the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage. We passed our most recent inspection with several outstanding elements.
