Hi my name is Louise and I offer a home from home environment for your children. A caring,  loving and educational setting where your little ones can feel safe and part of an extended family.
 With over 28 years of childcare experience, including two children of my own, one a teacher in an SEN school and the other teaching Vietnamese children English (in Vietnam) They both took up careers in education having been inspired by all the lovely children.

Archibald First School is situated in the heart of Gosforth and is part of the Gosforth Schools Trust.  We are a two form entry First School with a Nursery as part of our Early Years Unit.  There are no mixed age classes at Archibald First School, each class has a designated teacher and at least one shared Teaching Assistant. In addition to our classrooms we have a computing suite, two large halls, a library, a sensory room and additional group teaching spaces.

I provide a large playroom with a range of toys and activities for all ages and stages of development. I also have a large garden with a selection of outdoor toys for children to play with. 

At my setting, children can choose from a range of activities including play-dough, dressing up, arts and crafts, small world play, baking and much more. 

We go on outings every day to various places including parks, toddler groups, softplay, museums and the beach.
