Review from K L (Aunt of Child) published on 15 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Amazing nursery, with awe of an outdoor offering for my niece as she loves forest school.

The staff are welcoming and very caring. Children appear happy when I collect my niece. Great to see my niece being so independent as I arrived early and saw her serving her own food which was fantastic.

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at The Old Station Nursery Henley
Thank you for your lovely review. We are delighted to hear how much your niece is enjoying her time at nursery, especially the outdoor environment and forest school experiences.

Creating opportunities for children to explore, learn, and build confidence outdoors is something we are very passionate...

Review from Martyna B (Mother of Child) published on 19 March 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My experience so far has been very pleasing and satisfactory. The staff are ever so friendly, kind and helpful. Everyone is smiling and look/feel they have passion in what they do. My little boy got welcomed so well and has made amazing bonds. I always get updated about his day face-to-face. My little man is eager to see everyone as soon as we pull into the care park. He feels safe and content.

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at The Old Station Nursery Henley

We are delighted to read how well your son was welcomed to our nursery and the lovely bonds he has built with our team. They will be pleased to know that the daily handovers and the warm, friendly environment help him feel safe, content and excited to arrive each day.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been very happy at OSN since joining full time last summer. She loves the multiple different activities organised throughout the week, with dancing and spanish, firm favourites. She enjoys spending alot of time outside in the large garden or at forest school.

The teachers provide great support for her and have helped us navigate key milestones like potty training.

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at The Old Station Nursery Henley

We're delighted to hear that your daughter is enjoying her time and making the most of the varied activities on offer. It's wonderful to know that dancing and Spanish have become firm favourites!

Review from Chloe J (Mother of Child) published on 30 April 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Sending any child to nursery is a big deal, but when a child is SEN and has additional medical needs it becomes even more of a challenging decision to choose an appropriate setting. From initial show round through to the present day, the manager and team have gone above and beyond to make us feel entirely comfortable and the way in which our daughter has flourished since starting is testament to their commitment to working with each individual child to tailor their approach and develop a special bond. Our daughter is so excited to go to nursery and her development has rapidly increased since attending. We are so glad we found this nursery!

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at The Old Station Nursery Henley

We understand how important and emotional it can be to choose the right setting, especially when a child has additional needs, and we are truly honoured that you have entrusted us with your daughter's care. Watching children flourish and grow is an absolute joy for our team. Every child is unique,...

Review from Eve C (Mother of Child) published on 23 April 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We couldn't be happier with The Old Station Nursery - The staff are warm, attentive, and genuinely care about the children's wellbeing and development. Communication is excellent - we always feel informed and supported.
There's a fantastic variety of activities on offer, from Forest school and Spanish to outdoor play and seasonal crafts. The spaces are vibrant and engaging, and the outdoor area is perfect for exploration and learning. Whatever the weather the children are encouraged to spend time outside, exploring and playing - there is no other nursery in the area with such a great outdoor space!

Our daughter is excited to attend every day and always talks about her carers and friends. The manager goes above and beyond to keep improving the setting, and it shows. A truly special place where children thrive.

Review from R S (Grandfather of Child) published on 24 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

What has struck me is how nurturing the nursery is, the staff and management always make time for any questions we may have. My granddaughter loves her food which is very varied and has given her opportunities to experience different food. She loves singing the new songs she has learnt and I love viewing her activities at nursery. Well done to the team.

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at The Old Station Nursery Henley

The team takes time to get to know each child individually and organises activities and learning experiences to suit them, so they will be happy to read how their hard work and dedication are positively impacting your family.

Amazing nursery, our niece has been going for over a year and she loves it. The care and attention she gets from the team have supported her development so well in the last year. The app that's available to see her progress, what she eats, what she does is a wonderful touch. A wonderful team with a very knowledgeable manager, great job guys, thank you.

Overall Experience
I would highly recommend The Old Station Nursery. The staff and management are fantastic and have been instrumental in my niece's development. She absolutely loves it there and it's wonderful peace of mind knowing she how much she enjoys her time there.
We have a joke that she eats better than we do and are constantly surprised at how high quality and varied the meals are.

I love the fact I can keep up with my nieces' progress, daily activities, meals and photos through the app. The outside space and activities provided are excellent and I would recommend to any families looking for a nursery place for their children.

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at The Old Station Nursery Henley

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Our team takes pride in offering exciting learning experiences so the children in our care can develop at their own pace, and we love to share those with family in our app.

My daughter loves coming to this nursery! The staff are lovely and the girls are great at providing her with lots of activities throughout the day! I love seeing the photos/videos of her doing different things throughout the day on the app!

The manager is very supportive and was great when my little one first started and is always available if I need him.

Great staff, especially the lady in pre-school, my daughter loves her.
Forest school is also great and one of her favourite activities.
She also loves the food provided.

The only issue for me as a parent is the muddy car park.

Lovely experience joining The Old Station Nursery in Henley on Thames! The staff have been very quick in getting back in touch with us, setting up viewings, settling in, and making sure our child’s first few days were easy. The staff are amazing and everything has been so smooth and stress-free. My son is settling well and I feel at ease dropping him off!

Wow. Thank you so much for such a glowing review. We are delighted to hear this and we'll be sure to pass your comments on to the team.

Review from Holly H (Mother of Child) published on 8 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our son has been at The Old Station Nursery Henley for just over a year and he absolutely loves it there.
The food that is provided is great, he has at least one hot meal a day and updates show that he finishes most meals. The menu is varied, introducing the children to a wide variety of flavours and textures, it always surprises me which foods he takes to and now eats at home.
The outside area is full of toys and activities and the children are outside in all suitable weather, great for a boisterous 2-year-old boy. His speech and educational progression have been amazing to watch and a huge part of that is his experience at The Old Station Nursery.

The staff are friendly, caring and confident. Our son has always bonded well with his key carers and I am confident he is well looked after with an experienced team, two members of staff, in particular, have been a real support to us and him through his first few years. Thank you.

Review from K R (Mother of Child) published on 6 September 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have two little boys at the Old Station nursery. My oldest, now two, has been there since he was six months old and my youngest, about to turn one, has been there for a couple of months. As a full-time working mum, finding a setting your children love, with people who care so much for them, is extremely important. I am so happy with the care the nursery provides and love hearing about what they have been up to every day. Most days when I pick them up, they are outdoors playing, in their element. I am so happy I have been able to get my boys into the nursery and can't thank them enough.

We couldn’t be more pleased that we chose the Old Station Nursery for our daughter. She and we have been welcomed from day 1, with everyone we encounter being kind and friendly. She has quickly adjusted to her new setting and clearly loves the staff who care for her. They treat her with such kindness and understanding and I feel confident leaving her in their capable hands. Thank you to the whole team for making my return to work so much easier than it could have been!
