With the setting being located in a beautiful period property, south of Birmingham, Northfield is convenient for families in the nearby villages of Bournville and Longbridge. 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 nursery has six rooms which are divided into spaces for babies, toddlers, and Pre-School children. These rooms are designed to provide plenty of space for children to explore, investigate, and learn, as well as to stimulate their curiosity.
The baby rooms are equipped with a variety of low-level furniture to help children develop their balancing and walking skills, and the team make sure to provide natural and engaging resources, including messy play, painting, and texture exploration. These activities are incredibly valuable to the babies growth and development. The toddler rooms also offer a wide range of activities, such as exploring colours, shapes, books, music, and dance through a well-balanced curriculum that caters to individual needs.
By encouraging them to talk about their feelings with their peers and caregivers, children in Pre-School are supported in understanding and managing their emotions and the team also help them to develop skills such as sharing, care and compassion for others and treating everyone with respect.
The nursery has strong connections with local school teachers, which is useful in ensuring a smooth transition from Pre-School. The nursery children regularly visit the local church, library, and retirement village complex to help learn about and understand their surroundings. With a perfect location for easy access to parks and woodland areas, the children can learn about nature through well-planned Forestry sessions.
The Old Station Nursery Northfield has a Review Score of 9.7 (9.650) out of 10, based on 16 reviews in the last 2 years. Over all time The Old Station Nursery Northfield has 30 reviews.

Overall Experience
Excellent small nursery where staff are personable and well-invested in the development of our child. Two staff members in particular are fantastic in the baby room. Always happy and friendly.

I couldn’t recommend The Old Station Nursery enough, being a very anxious first-time mom, I felt very supported throughout our transition. Contact and updates have been great. I’ve always felt able to speak to staff about any concerns I have had. It’s a lovely homely environment with genuine, child-centred staff and a great outdoor space. My son is coming on leaps and bounds here. He takes part in a variety of creative activities and is well cared for.
Thank you to all the wonderful staff in the baby room for helping my son settle in so well!

We're delighted that he settled in so well, that's great to hear.

I'm very grateful to the manager and the team for being amazing. The staff have taken great care of my son. He has settled in very nicely. There is a great deal of individual attention that they provide, and I would grade them second to none. He was going to a very renowned private school nursery before, but I'm very happy that we've taken him out and put him in The Old Station Nursery. Thank you.

We're so pleased he's settled so well. The team will enjoy reading this thanks.

My son is thriving at Old Station Nursery. He is settled and socialised with his peers who he often talks about at home along with naming the staff. He is happy on arrival and pick-ups especially when he is in the garden playing with the toys/equipment (usually found on bikes/trikes/scooters. All staff are kind and friendly on approach, always smiling and engaging with children (often seen singing, dancing, serving snacks). My son particularly enjoys all the different play/creative activities - dressing up, arts and crafts, water play, and garden activities and it is lovely to see all the local area trips to parks, ponds, train and fire stations via photos on the parent app. He is on track with his learning and development which is monitored and recorded through the app. He sleeps and eats well at the nursery, in a good routine so I would recommend the nursery to any future child.

Overall Experience
Good nursery, friendly staff, a good choice of food, and plenty of interactive activities for children. Management is very well structured and informative. The app is very good as it allows you to see what your child has been up to throughout the day, however, it is not always updated regulary.

A lovely nursery with a caring team of employees and managers. My daughter has enjoyed her time at the nursery with the many daily activities whether on site with members of the nursery team, or staff brought in for dance and football sessions, or off site with visits to the fire station, train station and library to name a few. Lots of focus on development and socialising with peers. A great all round experience topped off with the lovely cook who spoils the children with her culinary creations, and the most caring and thoughtful manager, who really wants the best for the children at the nursery. The classes are small which I preferred, as it was less daunting for my daughter and I felt she had a better nursery experience because of it. Well done nursery!

I come to pick her up and she is beaming every time.
