My son started nursery at 10 months old. He loves it at the nursery and loves the staff. The activities and attention he receives there has developed his speech. motor skills and confidence. He tries a variety of foods and I really feel the staff care for him as an individual and with the same level of attention he would get at home.
Thank you for your lovely review and for sharing your experience with us. We are delighted to hear that your son enjoys his time at nursery and has built such positive relationships with our team. It is wonderful to know that the activities, care, and support he receives are helping to develop his...
The passion, energy, patience and respect of the team at OSN Filkins is first rate. I am extremely happy my child has a learning environment where they can thrive and have fun. I would definitely recommend.
We are delighted to read how happy you are with your experience at our nursery and that your child is thriving in such a positive learning environment. The team will be pleased to know that their care, energy and commitment are such valued parts of your experience.
The outdoor space is great and she loves forest school as well as the outings to the park etc. It is refreshing to see that the children often make or contribute to the snack and they have wonderful extras such as yoga class, rugby tots or music class!
When it comes to her learning and development, everything is personal and tailor made to my daughter and she is thriving!
The main thing is is she is happy and she goes in every time with a great big smile and excited to see what they are doing for the day!
We are delighted to read that your daughter is happy at our setting and that she arrives each day excited about what the day will bring. The team will be so pleased to know that she enjoys forest school and outings, and that the personalised approach to her learning and development is helping her thrive.
We absolutely love The Old Station Filkins Nursery! The new baby room is fantastic, and our little one clearly feels the same, as he leans forward with a big smile every morning, eager to go in. The staff are so kind and caring, creating such a nurturing environment where our child is truly thriving. There's always a great mix of fun activities and thoughtful sensory sessions. We're so impressed with how well everything is run. Thank you!
It is wonderful to know how much your little one is enjoying the baby room. Our team work hard to create a caring, nurturing space where every child feels safe, happy, and excited to explore, so your feedback is just what we like to hear. We are thrilled that the variety of activities and sensory...
Such an incredible place and community. I was so nervous when transitioning my daughter from childminding to nursery but the staff at Filkins made me feel so incredibly at ease and such a smooth process. My daughter has since absolutely thrived in the nursery for that I'm so grateful. They are so accommodating and the smaller village nursery feel at Filkins means my daughter gets almost the exact same time with her main contact as she would at childminders.
Registering your children at nursery can initially feel daunting, but we are so pleased to read that you have felt at ease during the process. We look forward to supporting your daughter with the next steps in her learning journey with us!
The Filkins Nursery is a fantastic place for children. They have a spacious play area and a dedicated forest school, which my boys absolutely love. They enjoy sharing stories with me about their day and all the activities they do with their friends. My boys have grown and progressed significantly here, thanks to the amazing teachers who work tirelessly to create a safe and nurturing environment. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to all the teachers who continue to care for my boys.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a wonderful review. We are so pleased that you are happy with our service and staff team and that your boys thrive in our setting.
This nursery has been absolutely brilliant! Our child loves it and all the staff. He adores his key person which is lovely to see. The team has been great, flexible, caring and ready to support however they can. The leadership is great, arranging necessary provisions for our child to move on to school and arranging meetings for us to follow our child's progress. We are so very grateful for the hard work that you do! The kindness and the humanity that you've shown us is really touching!
The Filkins Nursery has been nothing but a pleasure and joy for our son. He is always excited about going and loves spending time there. For us, it's been a thrill to see how he has grown and developed, with the reassuring knowledge that he has been well looked after and cared for. The staff are very friendly and caring, they have the children's best interests at heart. The nursery has an excellent range of equipment, activities, and facilities for the children, there is always something new and exciting to keep the children engaged while ensuring the focus is always around play. It's very reassuring to see whenever I drop off or collect my son that all I see are happy, engaged children having a lot of fun.
That is wonderful to hear, thank you for sharing so much with us.
Absolute brilliant nursery. Nothing is ever too much for the staff. Our daughter has come on so far since starting at Filkins. We are so happy we found this nursery - couldn't recommend it more highly!
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.
This is a wonderful nursery, my son is really happy here. He enjoys all the activities he takes part in and always has lots of stories to tell me about his day! The staff are brilliant and he has such a lovely bond with them, this really helped him settle in when he first started. Communication is brilliant - there's always time to have a chat with a member of staff at the end of the day and the staff are quick to respond if we have any queries via email. The nursery is such a warm and kind environment and we couldn't be happier with the care he receives, and all the fun he has!
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.
The Old Station Nursery Filkins is a wonderful nursery and is in a beautiful small village setting. Such caring and fun staff who take great care in learning the child as an individual and their interests. Our daughter loves her days there. She has learnt a great amount and made a good group of friends.
Thank you for your review, we really appreciate it!
My son has been going here for six months and I can honestly say, it is a fantastic nursery! The staff are brilliant and are so attentive to the children's needs. They are always thinking outside the box and organising events and visits for the children.
Hello and thank you so much for your review, we really appreciate it!
The staff are always thinking of new and interesting activities to keep learning fresh and exciting.
Thank you so much for your review, we really appreciate it!
My boys are very happy about this nursery. The staff in the 2-3y room are super, all are wonderful, loving, caring and professional women. The atmosphere is welcoming, stimulating to learn and make friends. My children are excited and involved in the activities that are organized every day. The management, which I found not decisive on essential points, and the App need improvements. The kids spend a long time indoors when it's hot also due to a lack of shelter from the sun. I asked why there were no parasols outside for children and staff on the hottest days, I was told something new would be bought. Two weeks later, I requested an update, having not seen any new parasols/gazebos, and I was mistaken for someone who dictated what to do. I felt misunderstood and misjudged. Anyway, no solution has been found so far. The information about children's nutrition is insufficient and confusing. The snack menu and food should be present daily on the app. Moreover, the app is too little updated and not very exhaustive.
We apologise for any miscommunication or misunderstandings that may have occurred regarding the purchase of...
Recently we have had multiple issues with the nursery, mainly due to a lack of communication. But also we don't seem to be told a lot about how our child is doing. The parent zone app is rarely updated as well. For the money that is paid for the nursery I do find that since the nursery manager has changed the service that is being offered has altered massively, and unfortunately is not like the great service we used to receive.
Thank you for taking the time to write this review. As a group, we are always trying to improve our communication with our families. We always aim to provide high-quality and regular updates through our social media channels, monthly nursery newsletter, bi-monthly group newsletter and via our...
The nursery itself is a wonderful little place with good outdoor and indoor spaces for him to play and learn and small enough for him to know all of his little classmates.
The staff are wonderful and keep the children entertained all day, and also teach the children a great deal, most days we get told about what our little boy has learned that day, and what he did.
It will be a sad day for him and us when he has to leave and move on to big school.
Thank you so much for your review, we really appreciate it!
We are over the moon with the care we have been given at Filkins Old Station Nursery. My son goes in happy to see his key carer every day and comes out with so many stories of all the activities he's done though out the day. They are always very quick to respond if I have any questions and are very accommodating to our needs.
Hi and a big thank you for your kind review, we really appreciate it!
The communication between the nursery and parents is great and there is always a large range of activities on offer.
Hi and thank you for your review, we really appreciate it!
My daughter loved every day at Filkins Nursery, everyone is very caring and they have a fantastic variety of educational activities. Always prompt to respond to calls and the communication was just fantastic. I highly recommend it for the knowledge, skill and attitude. Thank you so much for the amazing things you have taught to my little one.
Thank you for taking the time to write this review, we really appreciate it!
The nursery is fantastic! My daughter loves going, the updates we received are well constructed and give us a snapshot of her day. She loves her key worker and talks about her all the time at home, which to me shows the bond that she has created with her. The range of activities they do ranges from numeracy and literacy to Forest school. I can only recommend the nursery highly as I think it is a great setting for a child to start their education.
Thank you so much for your review, we really appreciate it!
