The Old Station Nursery and Pre-school St Neots are set across two sites, ensuring that they are able to give children a truly unique and special nursery experience. The nursery provides full time and part time care for children aged 0-3 years old and the pre-school provides full time and part time care for children aged 3-5 years old.
Children start their journey at nursery. It follows the children’s interest, ensuring no two days the same! The nursery consists of three base rooms; each benefit from having their own safe and enclosed, age-appropriate outside play area. This provides all of the children with free-flow access to explore the outside play area whenever they want.
Each room has its own garden area which they enjoy in all weathers. The baby room garden has two levels, the one-year-olds have a lovely space which goes round to the side of the building and the toddlers' room has a spacious garden giving the children lots of room to run and play.
When the children are ready, they will transition to the pre-school setting, which is just a few minutes away. The pre-school children have the benefit of having their own site in order to fully prepare them for ‘big’ school life. The pre-school consists of three base rooms, each benefiting from having their own safe and enclosed, age-appropriate outside play area. This provides all of the children with free flow access to explore the outside play area whenever they want.
The pre-school is ideally located within the grounds of Priory Park Infant School allowing those children who progress on to this school the opportunity to become familiar with the setting; aiding transition to Reception. For those that go on to different schools, the opportunity to be in a school environment will help children develop confidence to start school; no matter which school they decide upon.

The girls in preschool 1 are friendly, kind and caring. They go above and beyond to meet my daughter's needs. My daughter's key worker is lovely and always makes time to chat and help with any concerns. It's clear she genuinely loves my daughter and she loves her too!

My daughter attends Apricot Day Nursery, and we could not be happier with them. The facility is great, the meals are wonderful, and the staff are professional, kind, caring, and go above and beyond. Our daughter has so much fun and has advanced so much in her learning, socializing, and communication. She is always happy and loves the women who work there so much. Apricot has been so welcoming and supportive. They communicate on the app consistently and call if there's ever any illness or issues. Just a top-notch experience.
We are delighted to read how happy your daughter is at our nursery and the wonderful progress she has made in her learning, socialising and communication. It's lovely to know that the meals, updates through the app, and the care from our team have made such a positive difference for your family.

They were also incredibly supportive of me as a parent, offering reassurance and guidance throughout the settling-in process, which meant a lot during those early days.
Now he goes in happily, and I truly couldn't wish for a better place or people to leave him with. It's been such a full-on but incredibly rewarding journey watching him grow in confidence and go from strength to strength.
A few weeks ago he was poorly, and when I arrived to collect him it was so heartwarming to see him being cuddled and comforted. Knowing he is loved and cared for just as you would hope for your child means everything.
We are delighted to read how your son has grown in confidence since starting at our nursery and that he now arrives happily each day. The team will be pleased to know that their care, patience, and support during the settling-in period have made such a positive difference to your family.
We honestly couldn't be happier with Apricots. After a previous difficult experience with a childminder, I was understandably very anxious about my son starting somewhere new. The team have been absolutely incredible - not just with him, but with me too.

They supported him so gently and patiently through the settling-in period, and he adjusted far quicker than I ever expected. It's clear how caring, attentive and experienced the staff are. They've made him feel safe, happy and confident, which as a parent is everything.
Communication has been fantastic, and they've always taken the time to reassure me and answer any worries I had. It's such a comfort knowing he's somewhere he's genuinely excited to go to.
We are delighted to read that your son settled well into our nursery and that the transition felt so positive after your previous experience. The team will be pleased to know that their care, patience and communication helped both you and your son feel reassured and confident from the start.
My daughter has settled in so well to Apricot Day Nursery. All of the staff are so welcoming and approachable, and the app is fantastic in keeping parents up to date throughout the day to see how the kids have been getting on. Would highly recommend!

Since the moment we stepped foot into Apricots, we have felt at ease. My son had a hard time adapting to nursery, but the love and care that was shown throughout has helped my son settle in, and now he waves us off smiling. Thank you to all at Apricot.

Both my children (16 months apart) attended the setting, and the team has been fantastic - a really pragmatic team that is supportive, willing to work with the parents, and clear subject matter experts when it came to early years. I could not recommend the team and the setting enough.

Apricots have been amazing with my daughter. She's been here since she was 9 months and that's really bonded with all the staff. They have such a diverse range of play and promote independence and autonomy for the children. They provide the perfect blend of messy play, learning, outback activities and reading. The children eat a diet of home-cooked meals, which I'm often jealous of. Can't rate Apricots Enough!
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're so pleased your daughter has built such strong bonds with the team and is thriving with the variety of activities, from messy play to outdoor fun and reading. We're glad you love the home-cooked meals too - the children certainly do!
My son loves his time at nursery. His confidence has grown so much. Each of the girls in his room are so friendly and helpful, creating a warm, safe, caring environment.

Staff are very friendly and clearly take great care and pride in the children they are looking after. My daughter is always happy to go in and looks like she is having a great time! The updates via the app are very useful to see what she's eaten and what activities they are doing in the room.

You provide such a wide range of activities that help stimulate her, keep her engaged and active and the food/meals are second to none.
Thank you for all you've done and that I know you will continue to do. A special shout out to one of the staff for all her time and effort with my child, we have really seen the change in her progression and confidence.

Apricot, both the nursery and Pre-school are excellent. Both our children have been through and we've seen all staff and rooms. Our youngest is currently in the pre school 1 room. The managers, and the whole team are so caring and supportive of the kids and of us as parents. I especially rate the diversity of food, and the activities. Over the past year and a bit, the thought going into the early years education has come on a lot, and more external activities such as baby zumba and sports have been introduced.
We're so happy to read that both your children have had a positive experience with us. It's wonderful to know that the care, diversity of activities, and focus on early years education our team is dedicated to delivering is making a difference to your family.
All the staff at Apricot nursery are fantastic. They are welcoming, take genuine care over my child, friendly, and create exciting play set-ups to allow him to explore. I never worry leaving him there!
