Overall Experience

My son has been at The Old School House Nursery for a year since he turned three, and we've had such a positive experience. The staff are warm, caring, and genuinely know each child well.
He's grown in confidence, independence, and social skills, and always comes home chatting about his day. The nursery

has a lovely balance of structured learning and play, and they value outdoor time (encouraged to go in the garden every day). Communication with parents is great. We're always kept updated on his progress and activities. It really feels like a nurturing, happy environment where children thrive.

Overall Experience

Our little boy Riley went to The old school house day nursery from age 1 to 3 and we couldn't have asked for a better place for him. The Robins Room where he first started was amazing. The staff were so kind and caring and we'll always be especially grateful to Amy, Riley's key worker, who made such

a difference in helping him settle and feel happy. He loved the activities and we saw him grow in confidence so quickly. The other rooms he moved on to were also brilliant, each giving him new experiences - a special mention to Jo in Squirrels who was fantastic with him. I know the nursery recently received a lower Ofsted rating, but from our experience this doesn't reflect the care and dedication shown. For us, the nursery has always been incredible and we'll always be so so grateful for the wonderful start it has given Riley

Overall Experience

I couldn't praise the staff and school house team more. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds, always great activities and learning through fun. Staff have wonderful relationships with the children and I wish could book in for lunch and tea as the foods alway amazing. I know that when I leave her

there for the day she's being truly well taken care of.

from Amy S (Mother of Child) published on 20 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My eldest daughter graduated from the old school house last year and my youngest has been there for nearly 1 year now.
I believe they gave my daughter the best start to school and she came out smiling everyday with such a lovely bond with all staff.
My youngest is waving as soon as we pull up outside

and goes in so happy and eager to see all her friends.
I feel they know my children well, always communicating if they are not them selves and making me aware of all aspects of their journey. Wether that be accessing help for her additional needs or updating us on her daily routine.
Their meals are nutritious and their extra activities are amazing, providing educational aspect but most importantly fun.
Overall I couldn't be happier with the nursery experience they provide for my children and always recommend them to family and friends.

from N L (Mother of Child) published on 20 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

We've had such a positive experience here with our baby (under 1). The team in Little Robins is absolutely fantastic. Their diverse personalities and natural strengths create a rich, balanced environment where babies benefit from a wide range of social interactions. For example, some bring a calm, steady

presence while others bring warmth and cheerful energy. Together, they foster a space that feels both nurturing and secure.
In just four weeks, our baby has gone from crawling to confidently standing. A huge milestone we credit to the team's focus on physical development.
We're aware the nursery recently received a lower rating, but from our experience, the care has been consistent, professional, and full of heart. The staff take their roles seriously and clearly understand the impact they have on each child's development. Every family's journey is different, but for us, this has been a safe, supportive setting where our baby is happy and thriving!

Overall Experience

A lovely nursery where the staff always go the extra mile. My little girl has been there since just before she turned 1 and has progressed through 3 of the different rooms so far; each room is beautiful with so many different activities, she learns so much and enjoys every day she is there!
It is

great getting such regular updates from the staff which is really reassuring and the nursery offers so much!

Overall Experience

Our child has absolutely loved this nursery from the day he started. He is always happy and smiley to be there which has made us feel at ease. It's evident the nursery staff genuinely care about all of the children, and treat them like their own. The staff keep us updated throughout the day with pictures

of our child playing or what he's been up to during his day. The garden outdoors is also a great space for the children to play. Our child has developed so much during the time he has been there, in terms of his motor skills and speech. The nursery management are really friendly and approachable, whenever we've had any questions or queries, they've been happy to answer them and deal with everything efficiently. I have so much trust and confidence in the staff and their care, I would highly recommend this nursery to anybody.

Overall Experience

We have been with OSH Middleton now just coming up to 4 years with our 3 children (with still minimum 3 years to go.)
OSH is a lovely nursery, all staff around the nursery including another member of staff are so kind and welcoming to the children and teach/guide each to their own demands.
My middle

child has asthma at the time of flare ups the nursery were and are amazing throughout the whole process. Communication and making a plan together. This has also started with my youngest which again the staff have been amazing especially when she's so little (baby room).
A lady in baby room has been one of the heart and souls of this nursery, she really has been a blessing with both my littles starting with her she's been there key worker and full communication throughtout.
From having an older child now in school, I think he had a shock when he went as he didn't really have that much knowledge of phonics (neither did we) I'd possibly say a little more brought into preschool to help them.
Thank you

from Lucy E (Mother of Child) published on 12 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My daughter started here at 9 months in Robins room in May 2025. We were so apprehensive about putting her into nursery to enable me to go back to work but The Old School House Staff were so lovely on show around that I was over the moon when they said they had spaces. My daughter has gone 3 days a

week since and is thriving. The staff are so lovely and always greet us with a friendly face. They are hot on safety and if someone doesn't know who I am they won't let me in until someone who recognises me comes. I feel my daughter is so very happy at nursery and this is reflected on the communication app family. I get updates and pictures all the time and I love that it's very reassuring. I am happy at work knowing she's happy. I feel like the girls are a second family to my daughter and wouldn't hesitate recommending the nursery to anyone.

Overall Experience

Amazing nursery, all the staff have the children's best interest at the front of everything they do. The rooms, outside space, equipment and resources are to a really high standard. My child was always happy going in, excited to see her friends and 'teachers' (all the nursery staff). They have so much

fun, learning through play and the extra curriculars they offer aswell are such good opportunities for the children. The meals offered are great and theres such a variety of foods that broadened her food horizons! They're so supportive during room transitions, challenging times such as potty training and always keeping us updated on everything. I'm so happy with the bonds the staff make with the children, looking after them like their own and I know she's safe, looked after and happy whilst we're at work.

from Chanel W (Mother of Child) published on 6 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My son started at The Old School House Middleton in January and has progressed extremely well in all areas, including his speech, learning, and social development.

The staff are always welcoming and you can see how compassionate and attentive they are towards not only the children, but parents too,

especially during the settling in period.

We are continuously kept up to date via the app with day-to-day information and love to see what he has been up to from the posts and supporting photos that the staff take the time to write. You can see the children are encouraged to be curious, independent, and confident learners, and we can see this reflected in our home environment.

I would highly recommend and will be sending my other children to the nursery once they are older!

My daughter has been at the nursery for the last 12 months and can honestly say she absolutely loves it.
The meals are nutritional and there is a wide variety each week.

My daughter is very happy attending and gets so much enjoyment

from being outside and learning from the staff.
I would honestly recommend the nursery to anyone thinking of sending their child to the Old School House.

Overall Experience

The team at Old School House, Walmley, have been fantastic. They were so supportive and reassuring when our little one struggled to settle in. 3 months later, and he happily leaves my arms to join the lovely ladies in his room. There are well thought out daily activities for the kids that seem very

engaging and entertaining. Lovely home-cooked meals that even our fussy little one eats happily now.

Overall Experience

I can't recommend The Old School House nursery highly enough. From the moment we started, the entire team - both the fantastic management and the incredible nursery staff - have been nothing short of amazing. They are kind, thoughtful, and genuinely care about the children in their care.
My son absolutely

adores them - his face lights up every morning when he sees the staff, and to me, that says everything.
The activities are so well thought out, creative, and varied - there's always something new and exciting for him to experience. It's clear how much effort goes into making each day enriching and fun.
Like many parents, I was nervous about starting nursery, but the team made the transition so easy. They regularly sent updates and photos, offering so much reassurance and support, which really helped put my mind at ease.
Hand on heart, I know I made the right choice in sending my son to The Old School House. It's a truly special place, and we're so grateful for everything they do.

Overall Experience

Our daughter started nursery in November and it was her first time being cared for outside of our home. The nursery went above and beyond to settle her in. All of the Practitioners and management were so patient and kind.

Everything about the nursery is to the highest standard, from the food to

the toys and sensory activities. Parents are invited in for stay and plays in honour of Mother's Day, Christmas etc and they also have themed days for the children too. Our daughter especially likes the Sing and Sign class and going outside in the garden.

The staff really care about the children. Our daughter is only 16 months old and we can already see her learning new things and growing in confidence. She is very happy there and we know we chose the right place for her too.

Overall Experience

I could not recommend The Old School House at Middleton enough. My daughter absolutely loves it there, and has developed so well. The team could not have done more to get her settled and adapted into nursery life at the outset, and provided such amazing care to help her transition. They have also done

this as she's moved up age groups too. Their days are filled with a rich range of activities, with lots of outdoor time especially in the warmer months. They also include a good range of extra curricular activities and the daily menu is always nutritious and well balanced. We've been really impressed with the running of the nursery, organisation and management and feel really well informed. I am so glad that we chose this nursery and very highly recommend.

Overall Experience

Absolutely brilliant nursery! Our son took a little longer to settle in and all the staff at the Old School House Walmley made every effort into ensuring that his transition was as smooth as possible. From an increased number of settle sessions to allowing me to come in on those sessions so they weren't

too prolonged all made a real difference. Not every nursery will do this as we found with our older daughter. The communication from this nursery is outstanding. We always know how our sons day has been through an easy to use app and any messages are easily sent and received, nothing seems too much. They have a wonderful outside area for the children to enjoy as well as fun and engaging themes and topics each week. The nursery is also kept very clean from what I've noticed. I can't recommend this nursery enough, my son loves it there!
