Review of The Old Station Nursery Harpole from Rhian L (Mother of Child) published on 9 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We have been coming to nursery since my daughter was just under 1 year old and she is in the baby room. She settled in so quickly, which gave us so much reassurance, and she is always so happy to go in.

All of the staff are incredibly friendly, welcoming and caring, and it's clear how much they genuinely look after the children. She eats really well there, enjoys lots of lovely activities and has made some lovely little friends too.

Communication has always been brilliant, there are always updates on the app and emails are answered quickly and staff are always helpful and supportive. We've seen such lovely progress in her development since attending and are so happy with how well she is doing. We couldn't be happier with our experience so far and would highly recommend the nursery.

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at The Old Station Nursery Harpole

Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience with us, Rhian.

We are delighted to hear that your daughter settled so quickly into the baby room and that she enjoys coming to nursery each day. We understand how important those early days are for families, so it is...

Review of The Old Station Nursery Harpole from Kavya S (Mother of Child) published on 28 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The staff are exceptionally professional, caring, and genuinely dedicated to every child's development and wellbeing.

From the very beginning, the team made our daughter feel safe, welcomed, and valued. Her confidence, communication skills, and social development have improved tremendously since joining. The learning activities are always creative, engaging, and well-structured, providing the perfect balance of education and fun.

What truly makes this nursery outstanding is the warmth and commitment of the staff. Communication with parents is excellent, and it is clear that every child is treated with patience, kindness, and individual attention.

The environment is clean, safe, and nurturing, and we feel completely reassured knowing our daughter is in such capable hands each day.

We are extremely grateful to the entire team and would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for exceptional childcare and early years education.

Review of Little Houghton Day Nursery from Brooke L (Mother of Child) published on 23 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We couldn't be happier with our experience with the team at Little Houghton Day Nursery. Both of our boys are always excited at drop off and welcomed with open arms. The staff are always warm and caring towards not only our children, but also us as parents and nothing is ever too much to ask!
Having a child with special needs and disabilities and being able to leave them in the care of a setting came with some personal challenges but the team have always been extremely supportive and I cannot thank them enough for taking the time to be inclusive and cater to his needs.
Our boys have learnt so much since attending and have grown so much socially and emotionally and this is fully down to the nurturing environment that has been created for them by the staff.

We're so grateful for everything the team has done and continues to do for us and we couldn't recommend them highly enough to anyone looking! It's always a good sign when your children don't want to leave at home time! Thank you!

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at Little Houghton Day Nursery

We are delighted to read that both of your boys are happy at our nursery and that they arrive each day excited and ready to go. It's wonderful to know that the care, inclusivity and support for your child's individual needs have made such a positive difference for your family. Thank you for taking the time to recommend our nursery.

Review of The Old Station Nursery Harpole from C H (Mother of Child) published on 20 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter is absolutely thriving in this Nursery. She has made many great friendships and adores all the staff. Her language and learning is coming on leaps and bounds. Her development has always been a focus and the Nursery staff help teach her and set further learning skills to achieve. My daughter loves all the imaginative play, music and dance activities. We can check in on her throughout the day on our parent app for peace of mind and even see photos of her. The food is amazing, varied, healthy and nutritious with the odd special treat. The Nursery makes Occasions such as Christmas and Mother's Day extra special which is such a lovely touch. We would recommend this little Nursery to any parent/guardian. It feels like another part of our family, so supportive. We can't thank you all enough. Thank you!

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at The Old Station Nursery Harpole

We are delighted to read how much your daughter is thriving at our nursery and the wonderful progress you are seeing in her language and learning. It's lovely to know that the care, communications, and special celebrations make it feel like such a supportive, family environment.

Review of Little Houghton Day Nursery from Marie R (Mother of Child) published on 10 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child has been going to nursery since November 2024 in the baby room. It has been wonderful watching them grow and engage in lots of activities. The nursery staff are very friendly and easy to talk to. I love seeing all the pictures from each days activities. They provide a wonderful selection of meals and snacks during the day. Even trying new foods that we dont have at home.

Review of Wellingborough Day Nursery from Kristina A (Mother of Child) published on 3 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We are incredibly happy with our experience at Wellingborough Day Nursery and the wonderful progress our daughter, Iris, has made. The biggest difference we've noticed is in her social confidence and willingness to engage with everyone. Drop-offs and pickups, which used to involve tears, are now completely stress-free-she genuinely loves being here. She runs in happily every morning and is always in a joyful mood when we arrive to collect her. This transformation is a direct result of the nurturing, positive, and supportive environment created by the staff. We highly recommend Wellingborough Day Nursery to any parent looking for exceptional care and developmental support. A big thank you to all the team!

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at Wellingborough Day Nursery

We are thrilled to read how much your daughter has grown in confidence and how happily she now runs into nursery each morning. The team will be so proud to learn that drop-offs and pick-ups have become stress-free. They work really hard to create a nurturing, positive environment, so it is lovely to hear this reflected in your experience.

Review of Wellingborough Day Nursery from Gemma G (Mother of Child) published on 10 October 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Best nursery around. Amazing women that are very helpful and friendly. Was really worried about sending him (being my first child) but my son loves it there. So glad I sent him. Every morning his face lights up when I tell him where we are going. I get regular updates which I love. He's developing so much quicker being there. Will definitely be sad when he leaves ( thankfully a few more years yet)

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at Wellingborough Day Nursery

Thank you so much for your feedback. We are so happy to read how much your son is enjoying his time with us. It is always a joy to see excited faces in the morning! It means a lot that you feel confident and supported, especially as a first-time parent, and we are proud to be part of his first journey in education.

Review of The Old Station Nursery Harpole from Thomas C (Father of Child) published on 30 September 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

The nursery has been in our lives for over 5 years (2 kids). We have been super impressed with the care and attention our children have received. They provide a loving and friendly atmosphere. The children always return home happy, and we have never needed to raise any concerns about anything. I would recommend the nursery to anyone if asked. The staff are brilliant. We will miss this place when our son starts school in September.

Overall Experience
I have seen my little girl flourish so much since she started in January. It took her a little while to fully settle, but I know she is in safe, caring hands. She has developed a good bond with the staff in her room. I receive updates throughout the day and lovely photos.

The staff follow her needs well, and I have noticed a big leap in her development. Being an anxious mother, I feel happy knowing how well looked after my daughter is.

Review of Little Houghton Day Nursery from Emma C (Mother of Child) published on 1 May 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My little boy has been at the nursery for over 3 years now and has really grown in confidence during this time. He loves going to nursery and even asks me not to pick him up too early so he can stay longer and play with his friends. The staff are ll so lovely and seem to really care about the children. Every day they think of new activities, but also allow the children to free play if they want to. Little Houghton is like a second family and we will be sending our second child there next year.

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at Little Houghton Day Nursery

Thank you so much for your review and continued trust. It is a joy to watch children grow in confidence and flourish during their time with us. It means the world to hear that your son loves nursery so much as a result of the team's balance of planned activities and free play. We can't wait to welcome your second child next year!

Review of Little Houghton Day Nursery from Kayleigh S (Mother of Child) published on 28 April 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Since my child has started the bears room, she has made some really god connections with her key person and the other staff. Her key person always listens to any concerns I may have and resolves them. The morning handovers always go smoothly as my child can not wait to play and learn. My child's eating can be off at times but they all try to encourage her to eat in different ways and she has eaten new items of food (great job).

The manager is easy to approach and is happy to hear any concerns you have. My child is very happy being at Little Houghton Day Nursery and thank all the staff that take care of my child.

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at Little Houghton Day Nursery

We're so pleased to hear that your child is happy and thriving with us. It's wonderful to know she's built such positive connections with her key carer and the team. Open communication with our families is really important to us, so it's great to know you feel supported and listened to.

My son loves coming to nursery, he has made good friends and he loves all the staff. The staff are always very informative of my sons day giving feedback every evening. There is always a wide range of activities on offer and they use the village to their advantage, visiting the park and scout field. The chef always makes delicious meals that my son enjoys and there is always a great variety. We can't highlight enough how much we love the nursery.

Review of Little Houghton Day Nursery from I B (Grandmother of Child) published on 15 April 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

On the odd occasion I have collected my grandson from nursery, the staff have been very good at giving feedback on his day. There always seems to be lots of activities out for the children which they enjoy. The variety of food on the menu is fantastic, most of which my grandson will only eat if its "made like a staff members". Overall the nursery is great and I would definitely recommend to other families.

Reply from Jo Bamforth, Head of Communications at Little Houghton Day Nursery

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're pleased to hear that you've had such positive experiences when collecting your grandson. It's great to know he enjoys the activities and the food-especially when it's made "like a staff member's"! Your kind words and recommendation mean a lot to us.

We are currently sending our third child to Little Houghton Nursery. The fact that we have been using the nursery since 2013 to present shows how much we regard it. Our children have all enjoyed their time here and the satff have always been excellent. Whilst it is part of a larger nursery brand it still retains that close village locality and feel.

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at Little Houghton Day Nursery

Thank you for your continued trust and loyalty! It's wonderful to read that all three of your children have had such positive experiences, and we're so proud to maintain that warm, village feel you value.
