Castle Nurseries Shieldfield

About Castle Nurseries Shieldfield

Castle Nurseries in Shieldfield is a day-care setting on Clarence Walk, just off the eastern edge of the city core near Northumbria University's campus. Its location makes it one of the more genuinely central nursery options, well placed for parents who work in the city centre or study at the neighbouring university, taking children across the early-years age range through the working day. Shieldfield sits within walking distance of the centre, so the nursery avoids the longer journey that some suburban settings involve.

Because the immediate city centre has few nurseries of its own, a setting this close to the core is worth knowing about for central families, though as always it is sensible to confirm availability for the days and age group you need and to arrange a visit before committing. The nursery offers funded early-education hours alongside paid places; check directly how it spreads the funded entitlement across the week.
