About Us

What A Hoot – Blyth

What A Hoot Day Nursery Blyth opened its doors in April 2014.

Located in the centre of Blyth, Northumberland, we have transformed a building from an old first school into a modern, purpose-built nursery, after-school & daycare provider for children from newborn to twelve years of age.

As a registered childcare facility, we meet the national standards set by OFSTED our governing body and all of our staff have been suitably DBS-checked and gone through a rigorous recruitment procedure.

Our Blyth nursery consists of  5 spacious and vibrant rooms accommodating babies from 0-2 years,2-3 year olds and 3-5 year olds.

As well as a purposeful and enriching learning experience for the children, What A Hoot offers something very special – and quite unique for a day nursery. We have our own in-house drama and imagination company, with unique stories and songs to ignite the children’s imagination and take them on a make-believe journey through the woods, under the sea – and even to the moon! Even our littlest children benefit from this experience and gain confidence using their imaginations and language and communication skills.

Conveniently situated on Albion Way in Blyth town centre, What A Hoot is ideal for parents who live, work or travel through Blyth – we’re easily accessed by bus or on foot, with dedicated parking facilities for those travelling by car – and we’re just a short walk from the amenities of Albion Retail Park.

Alongside What A Hoot Day Nursery, we have other thriving businesses in the centre: High Energy Martial Arts Academy; Albion cafe and Horizon housing association. All of the companies within the Activity Centre operate with the same ethos: community-focused work celebrating a healthy and balanced lifestyle.

We also have an onsite Sensory Room in the centre, The Sensory Nest, which is ran by our nursery. Our nursery children use the sensory room regularly, it is particularly beneficial for our children who have additional needs. The Sensory Room boasts; a soft play, bubble tubes, activity walls, a swing seat, a spinning plate a trampoline and an enclosed outdoor area.   

If you live in Blyth, Ashington, Cramlington, Bedlington, Seaton Delaval, Seaton Sluice or any of the surrounding North Tyneside or South East Northumberland areas, What A Hoot offers practical and affordable daycare services for parents looking to give their children the best possible start in life.
