A newly refurbished nursery, The Old Station Nursery High Wycombe, has been carefully designed to support children's development in a natural and engaging learning space. The modern and engaging rooms provide an inclusive space where children are free to play, learn and explore.

With space for up to 30 children per day, the smaller size makes the nursery unique, allowing them to offer a welcoming space where the team are able to get to know each child in their care. The nursery offers exceptional care, enriched by unique learning opportunities for your child. One such experience is child-friendly cooking classes, helping to equip children with valuable skills and deeper knowledge of the cooking process.

Recognising the importance of outdoor play, The Old Station Nursery High Wycombe ensures children have plenty of chance to explore the world around them and a brand new garden space is soon to be added to the nursery.

The Old Station Nursery High Wycombe is ideally located on the grounds of Manor Farm School so that when the time comes, the transition to ‘big school’ is as smooth and seamless as possible. They work closely with parents to ensure that the children are exceptionally prepared for their next stage of learning.

Review from S I (Father of Child) published on 2 July 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter loves her nursery. She's always happy to be there, and it is clear she finds it fun and engaging, and she certainly has strong relationships with the caring staff. We have seen her grow and develop accordingly in the 18 months she has attended, and we are thrilled and grateful.
Our only
feedback would be that we aren't sure how children who may be picking up reading early are challenged. And also, even though the main parts of meals are excellent, home-prepared food, some of the wider elements of food offered (cereal/breads/snacks) are technically ultra-processed foods, even if they are low sugar/salt/fat.

My 21 month old started nursery here 3 months ago and he absolutely loves it. He's settled in so well. He's come on developmentally so much since he's been here as well, speaking loads from when he started and couldn't say many words at all. They are always doing fun and educational activities with
them which I see through pictures on the app and my little boy looks like he's having a great time every day. The staff are so friendly and accommodating. Definitely recommend this nursery!

We continue to be impressed by the level of care shown by the entire team. It's such a welcoming environment that nurtures and develops children at their own pace. I've seen improvements in my son's confidence, language and problem-solving skills since he has been attending The Old Station Nursery.
He is very happy and talks fondly of the staff and his friends.

Old station nursery is the first nursery my son has been at, and I can't recommend them enough! All the staff are friendly and helpful, they go above and beyond to make sure my son has the best time there. They regularly plan sensory activities and craft activities to keep the children entertained and
to help them learn new textures and they have a lovely garden space with loads of activities. They provide amazing on site cooked meals by their chef and update the parent app to show snapshots, meals, naps and nappy changes so I know exactly what my son has got up to during the day. I couldn't ask for more when it comes to caring for my child, I highly recommend old station nursery! The communication is brilliant and they've really helped both my son and I have a positive experience. Thank you to all the staff and to the manager for everything!

Our daughter has settled so well. The staff have been so supportive and welcomed her into the new nursery setting. The care she gets when here is very home from home and maternal. It's a lovely place, the staff are very caring and assertive. The fresh food ensures she's fed well and I love the variety.
Happy daughter, happy mummy.

Our youngest has been at nursery since September and we are so pleased with the way she has started to adapt to nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.757)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.757) out of 10 for The Old Station Nursery High Wycombe is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 43 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 42 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.757 for The Old Station Nursery High Wycombe is calculated as follows: ( (415 Excellents x 5) + (80 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 514 Ratings = 4.757
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Old Station Nursery High Wycombe is based on 42 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 30 number of registered child places is 6, which has been reached with 42 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
