Health & Wellbeing at Gosforth Nursery
At Gosforth Nursery, we are committed to promoting every child’s health and wellbeing through a balanced combination of nutrition, physical activity, and emotional support. Located in the heart of Gosforth, Newcastle, our nursery offers a nurturing environment where children can grow into confident, well-rounded individuals. Our approach supports both dependence and independence, helping children thrive during their early years.
Healthy Eating and Baby-Led Weaning
We believe healthy habits start early. That’s why we follow a baby-led weaning approach, allowing babies to explore new foods at their own pace and develop positive eating behaviours.
Our in-house cook prepares nutritious meals and snacks daily, guided by the Eat Better, Start Better framework from the Children’s Food Trust. Each meal is tailored to your child’s stage of development, with softer textures for babies and varied textures for older toddlers.
- 3-week rotating menu with age-appropriate options
- Blended meals available on request
- Organic milk served daily
- Water accessible throughout the day
Customised diets are always supported. If your child has allergies or specific dietary requirements, we’ll work closely with you to provide safe, healthy alternatives.
Physical Activity and Active Lifestyles
We promote an active lifestyle for children in Gosforth with regular opportunities for movement and play. Outdoor exploration is encouraged daily, and we also offer structured extracurricular activities to support physical development.
Activities include:
- Baby yoga
- Dance
- Football sessions
These activities not only keep children engaged but also support gross motor skill development and social interaction.
Emotional Development and Personalised Care
We understand the importance of emotional wellbeing in early years development. Our experienced team helps children begin to recognise and manage their emotions in a calm, supportive setting. We use age-appropriate methods to promote independence, emotional regulation, and social confidence.
For our youngest babies:
- Bottles are sterilised and prepared according to each child’s individual needs
- Feeding routines are personalised and adjusted as children begin transitioning to solids
