Our Ethos

At Green Tree we believe curiosity sparks a child's love for learning. Our nature-inspired environment encourages exploration and discovery, with a child-led approach that invites awe and wonder. Our dedicated staff support each child's unique journey, nurturing independence, and a sense of curiosity through thoughtful and responsive guidance.

Welcome to our nurturing world

Flexible, affordable childcare in Newcastle

Green Tree Childcare opened in 2022 with the aim of providing flexible and affordable childcare for parents in Benwell and surrounding areas in Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

We operate on a strong ethos built around child-led, play-based learning and the concepts of Hygge and The Curiosity Approach.

Our nursery setting has been carefully designed with our ethos in mind, providing a calm and tranquil space for children to learn, explore and discover the world around them in a supportive, safe environment.

We are Ofsted Registered and rated ‘GOOD’ in all areas!

Why choose Green Tree?

  • Calming indoor spaces

    Green Tree is all about giving children the space and freedom to engage in immersive, child-led play in a calm, safe and comfortable environment. Our rooms are furnished for a cosy feel, and provide spaces for quiet time and self-regulation.

  • Nutrition-driven meals

    Our nursery cook prepares meals fresh every day, with a focus on nutritional balance to ensure your child's growing body and developing brain get what they need. We are a peanut-free nursery, and cater to various dietary requirements.
