Day Nurseries Owned by ICP Educare in South Yorkshire

We are really pleased with the excellent care & support our child and we as parents have received from the whole nursery team as she has progressed through the nursery. The staff were very knowledgeable & helpful with supporting potty training. We particularly chose OSH due to the flexible long hours which accommodate our work schedules & it is so useful that they provide breakfast. When we looked around the nursery with our young baby, we weren't particularly concerned about the extra-curricular activities they were providing inc. tennis/French lessons/events. However, as our child progressed to the pre-school, we saw her enjoyment of these activities & the value this added to her nursery experience. It is not a cheap nursery, & when our child was unable to speak was somewhat frustrating that they remained paper-based when other nurseries have apps. But it has been a safe, happy environment that our child has thrived in & prepared her brilliantly for school & we would recommend it.

A lovely environment and caring teachers. My son enjoys the food and toys there. A good mix of activities and outdoor play. It's nice to have a note of what the child ate during the day.

Just occasionally it feels a lack of staff members in the room.

Fantastic nursery team, caring and attentive. Excellent support from every member of staff too. My child has thrived here and loves going every day. A mix of activities and play. So flexible with day swaps too. Thank you all.

I couldn't recommend the nursery highly enough.

My son is very happy here, he claps when we pull up outside. As a family we have always found the staff so welcoming. The flexibility they try to offer if they can in terms of swapping a day if you miss yours for whatever reason is amazing. I just hope the new management/owner doesn't change things for the staff or families too much because from our perspective, they are great! Thanks for all you do for our boy.

All staff at reception are also very approachable and helpful. Can't recommend enough.

We have had a very positive experience of old school house endcliffe since our eldest son started there in January 2023. The management team are very responsive to questions and are a friendly team to meet us every morning at drop off. The staff working in the rooms and looking after the children are fantastic - caring and committed to providing the children with a supportive and fun environment. We have been very pleased and hope the nursery can continue to be managed in such a way that puts the children first, and enables the staff to provide the best care.

The facilities are excellent, providing a safe and engaging environment for children to learn and play. We are always greeted with a warm smile, and it's clear that the staff genuinely care about both the children and their families. I would highly recommend The Old School House to anyone looking for a nurturing and supportive nursery.

Such a lovely nursery! Staff are friendly and welcoming. My daughter was only 6 months old when she started and I always felt she was well cared for. She loves going and always has the best time. There's great outdoor spaces for them to play in which are nicely hidden from public view.

Overall, a great experience. Nursery go out of their way to fit child in on other days at short notice if they can, and are also willing to swap days which is a huge pro.

I wish the nursery would use the app to add information about your child's day, instead everything is on paper. Also, it would be nice if the food rotated on different days so children access a more varied diet, rather than always having the same thing on Wednesdays (bi-weekly) for example.

One thing we especially love is the booklet around her development and the photographs and drawings in there, which is something we can keep forever. We are so happy we get to send our second daughter to the nursery when she is one, due to the level of care we have seen from all of the staff!

Honestly couldnt sing The Old School Houses Praise enough. Both my children have gone here, my second is still here. My second has severe anaphylactic food allergies and honeslty they couldnt do more, it is a really tough road to naigate and they do everything in their power to keep him safe, included and well looked after, He has his own food menu, they have removed certain allergens he has on days from the nusery for example green peas. Honestly words would ever express the gratitude we have towards all the team! They are like family.

Our little one started at the beginning of the year and we have been very happy with the care that our little one has received. The staff have been fantastic at communication and are always welcoming. Our little one loves going to nursery and gets upset when we pick them up because he just wants to keep playing.

I cannot rave about Old School House enough. My daughter loves going every time. The staff are professional, the activities varied and the food excellent. Recently my daughter had an allergic reaction and to be honest the nursery dealt with it way better and more informed than we would have. They helped us through the process. Can't thank them enough

Really friendly supportive staff who all help create a enjoyable environment. Really happy to be able to take my child there and pleased that they are always happy to go every day. It really does make the day so much easier!

Have always been pleased with the flexibility, welcoming nature of staff and the fact our children have always seemed happy to be at OSH. The pictures sent at the end of the week are great to see and the end of year report lovely too.

Both my children have gone to old school house. The nursery carers are really nurturing and the kids have lots of fun - my son is always dressing up and doing dance routines. The facilities and outside space are fantastic with lots of bikes and ride ons for the kids. The nursery are also very supportive with things like potty training and my eldest was very well prepared for school.

Benty Lane, Old School House Nursery is a warm, friendly and nurturing place for my daughter to attend. From the moment we walk through the door, we are greeted with smiles and warmth. My daughter is always really well engaged and we've seen her thrive since attending. The care the staff have for my daughter is clear and this makes me feel confident in choosing Old School House Nursery.

We sincerely hope the staff are supported to continue to provide excellent care, under the new ownership from April 2026.

We have had a great experience with OSH for the past 4 years. Our eldest is starting reception this year and it is clear that she has grown into a happy, confident little girl with OSH providing her with skills to ensure she is ready for reception. The French and tennis lessons are a bonus during preschool years. They try to be as accommodating as possible for unexpected changes in nursery sessions. It is evident staff are caring by how my girls talk about their carers when they come home.
