The nursery is good, and has definitely improved over the last few years. The staff are kind and caring and my little one enjoys going each day. There are issues of course (predominately around communication) and also a favouring of photos only being provided on social media sites, whereas if your child
has a no public photo policy, it means that you don't see any photos from the exciting events on the app. We're meant to get regular updates but ours have dwindled to once a month which is very upsetting, despite frequent requests. They have lovely theme days and events which they obviously take a great deal of time and care to think about for the children's benefit. Overall, a very lovely nursery and we have been happy for the last few years, just with better comms going forward and more updates

Our son loves Old Station nursery, he quite often doesn't want to leave! All the staff have been lovely, and he talks about them all the time which clearly shows the impact they are having on him. His language and social skills have developed greatly since being at nursery. There's lots of small personal
touches aswell such as gifts/artwork being made by the children for special occasions to take home. There is also a variety of activities completed with the children which seem to vary each day which is great.
Only feedback is that I wish the app was used more. In babies room it was updated daily with meals, sleep and photographs. Now we are lucky to get one photograph every 3 weeks, and there's no food updates or sleep updates. I do understand that it must be hard to look after lots of children and complete the app at the same time, but some form of communication/update would be nice.
Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at The Old Station Nursery FaringdonWe are delighted to read how much your son enjoys his time at our nursery and the lovely progress he is making with his language and social skills.

you for everything you do for the children.

Our child generally enjoys nursery, eats well there and does a range of activities. The staff are all lovely, however the 6 weekly updates we are meant to receive on our child's development and progress has been lacking. I have seen other parents get much more in depth updates at the expected time intervals,
so think this must be a bit hit or miss depending on key worker. However I am not sure if staff are potentially meant to be doing these updates and assessments whilst also caring for the children, so on the other hand I would prefer they are spending time interacting with the children rather than filling out forms!

Our child has been a happy attendee of Old Heyford Nursery now for over a year. We could not be more delighted with our experience. The Staff are truly phenomenal. Everyone we have met has been exceptional - from the Chef to the Nursery Room Staff. Our child asks to go to Nursery everyday - even a Saturday.
Honestly it is thanks to the Staff that our child is thriving, happy and confident. Thank you to everyone at Old Station Heyford!

My daughter started nursery in January and she has settled in amazingly! The girls at old station have been amazing with her, her key worker is fab and goes above and beyond for my daughter. Communication is great from her through the app which is brilliant especially being an anxious mum being able
to see what your child is getting up to! My daughter has done lots of different activities from sensory play to reading books. She really looks forward to going to nursery!

Amazing nursery with kind, polite, and well-trained staff - Sarah is especially wonderful. The daily program is full of engaging activities, which the children really enjoy. The food is great, and the staff carefully consider all allergies and individual preferences.

The Faringdon nursery is absolutely brilliant. The staff are friendly, professional and make the welfare of all children their top priority. In the toddler room, the children do a wide range of activities each week including reading, storytime, singing, outside play, messy play, painting and drawing
the list goes on! The food is good, varied and balanced and prepared on site and toddlers also take part in regular cooking/baking activities. The nursery also take part in all the fun festivities and celebrations throughout the year. The staff are wonderful, they all know my child by name and take the time to chat and ask how we are. Communication is very good, regular updates are sent from the nursery manager and individual handovers each day are thorough. It would be nice if the toddler room posted more pictures on the app to parents. It was almost daily in the baby room but toddlers at best it's once a week.

My 1 year old started here a couple months ago and has settled in so well! Not once has he been upset at drop off or pick! He absolutely loves the staff here, and you can really tell they love the children too. They explore all sorts of new foods too which I love. I would recommend this nursery to any
parents out there. I've seen a huge development in my little one, he's learnt so much already.
