  • The Old Station Nursery High Wycombe, High Wycombe
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.

Absolutely love The Old Station Nursery High Wycombe, so much so we moved to Oxford and still commute, with both our children so happily settled here. My second child started in September and has settled in really well. I love the daily updates from his session and feel happy knowing he spends his days
with such a caring, attentive team.

Our 7-month-old daughter started with the nursery in September and the team's dedication to providing a nurturing environment has made a hugely positive impact, and we are thrilled to see how well she has settled in.
The nursery has a really inviting atmosphere and has a fantastic garden area which
definitely supports her daily experience. The staff's genuine affection and attentiveness have created a sense of security and comfort for her, and we value the time and care they provide.
We also appreciate the regular communication from the management, as it demonstrates their commitment to the well-being of the children and the smooth operation of the nursery. The parent app updates with photos are a great way to stay connected and informed about her daily activities, providing us with peace of mind as a parent.
Looking forward to continuing to build a relationship with the nursery over the coming years and would definitely recommend it to others.

I arrived to collect my niece, and the security and the checks carried out were second to none, with ID being checked and also a password which was arranged with the parent. I haven't attended nursery for some time but the changes in the garden and environments inside, seem to have made a huge impact
on the children's learning and development. I would highly recommend this nursery.

My nephew has been attending since July 2023 when he was 7 months old and the progress that I have seen is amazing - both his development and the nursery as a whole. All the staff are so welcoming and show a lot of passion and care.
I'm so glad to see their new Ofsted rating is Good and the report
was fantastic. You can see how hard the team work, it was truly deserved! Well done the whole team!

Incredibly friendly and supportive staff, child absolutely loves her time there and can't get enough. Really seen a positive development in our child since starting, a massive increase in confidence and independence, especially with other children.
Overall really satisfied with this nursery and everyone
involved. We love getting updates through the app as well, seeing her progress each time she goes. Child is incredibly happy when she goes and feels welcome and confident enough to be left there all day.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter recently started around a month ago. She found it hard to adjust at first as it’s a daunting experience for any child to leave their parent but the staff were so attentive in making both me and my child feel reassured and comfortable within the nursery and before we knew it my child was
settled in and is having fun every day asking to go and play when she wakes up!
The app they use is great for updates throughout the day where I get informed about meals/nappies.
The nursery staff are always open to any requests/questions you may have too which helps me to feel at ease when leaving my child for the day.
Thank you all for being so welcoming.

Really great first few months at The Old Station Nursery High Wycombe, staff are really friendly and proactive with my daughter: playing, supporting and comforting her. Food is of a good standard and it's always clean and tidy in the nursery. They always do new activities and offer original learning
experiences for the children, including arts, crafts and food-related activities. I really am really happy with the nursery and how they have helped my daughter settle in.

Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
My son is in the under 2's room and overall the experience with the nursery is inconsistent. Depending on which members of staff are working, handovers at the end of the day range from non-existent to detailed, as does the information added to the app. This leads me to assume that the care, attention
and engagement he receives in attendance follows the same pattern. I'm often told he eats well yet comes home thirsty and starving. All in all, we use this nursery for its convenient location, but would not recommend it.

Our child loves going to The Old Station Nursery. The staff are fantastic and look after the children brilliantly. The manager has really improved the nursery over the last 12 months. The children participate in fun activities including trips to the park. The garden has been refurbished recently meaning
the children have a great outdoor space. The small size of the nursery means the staff knows all of the children well and they really care for them.

We've had a fantastic experience at The Old Station Nursery. It's a nurturing environment where the staff genuinely care about the well-being and development of children. One of the highlights is the renovated outdoor playground - it's clear that thoughtful planning went into its design to encourage
physical activity and imaginative play. The nursery's support for bilingual children is also commendable. They embrace and nurture linguistic diversity, helping children like my son maintain a connection to our family's language while also engaging with English. The staff's commitment to creating a positive, inclusive atmosphere where children can thrive is evident in every aspect of the nursery, from the balanced and kid-friendly food options to the innovative learning activities. Choosing The Old Station Nursery for our son has been one of the best decisions we've made. It’s a place where he is nurtured, valued, and encouraged to grow.

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.
