Nestled within a charming rural community near Lechlade, The Old Station Nursery Filkins offers exceptional childcare services. Housed in the former village school, the nursery has warm and welcoming rooms designed to support children’s development at every stage. 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.
The Old Station Nursery Filkins has recently extended its provision to introduce a brand-new 9-place baby room, providing a cosy and nurturing environment for young learners. From the age of two, children can join the 2–4-year-olds' room, where age-appropriate resources and activities tailored to their interests are provided. As children progress, they move to the Pre-School room, where they can learn and play in a safe and nurturing environment. The team emphasises child-led activities whenever possible while also providing structured sessions to help children develop. Additionally, weekly French lessons and preparation for school are included in the Pre-School curriculum.
Outdoor play and exploration are at the heart of the ethos at the nursery, with weekly Forest School sessions for the children to immerse themselves in the natural world. Each child can explore and engage in a mud kitchen, play in dens, and care for the different animals, such as chickens and guinea pigs.
The qualified and dedicated team is passionate about providing high-quality care for all children at the nursery, which is reflected in the Millie's Mark award, recognising the team’s commitment to paediatric first aid.

I was really impressed when I went for a visit with my daughters, the Manager was very informative and showed me around the nursery. I always look for children's work on the walls and the input from the children was so impressive ie: writing from the pre school children and art work up, there is an area for them to explore materials and get creative which for me is very important. I am also very happy with the staff, they are always smiling and chatty when we arrive in the morning and when we pick up which is comforting as a parent as sometimes as a mother you can feel anxious doing the drop off. My daughter loves going to Filkins she is smiling from ear to ear and her confidence has really grown. the pre-school supervisor in particular is wonderful she knows what she likes to do and what she's interested in. The tapestry app is brilliant, there's no wondering how your child is doing because it's there to see. I think is really great I know how well she's doing every week. The communication to parents is amazing we have a very happy daughter and that is just fantastic for my husband and I - thank you to everybody!
