  • The Old Station Nursery Walsall, Walsall
The nursery is located in a converted house in a quiet residential area of Walsall, which is very convenient for families living nearby and in the surrounding borough. 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 five bright rooms that are divided by age group and equipped with age-appropriate resources and furniture to encourage all children to explore and develop their independence.

The baby room is equipped to support babies who are learning to walk and pull themselves up, with furniture and resources that encourage safe exploration. The toddler rooms provide a range of fun and stimulating activities that enhance children's learning and development, and the team support toddlers in becoming more independent and confident in expressing their preferences, sharing ideas, and working together.

In Pre-School, the focus is on preparing the children for a smooth transition to 'big school'. Therefore, the children learn and use phonics and initial sounds as part of their daily routine. They also care for the nursery's snails, fish, and guinea pigs, who are named Peppa and Poppy, as well as having the opportunity to engage in eco activities and Forest School outings.         

Outside, there is a spacious area for play and learning all year round, with a garden split into two areas; one with Astro turf for independent exploration, as well as a bug hotel, den, and construction area with resources such as crates and wooden blocks. The children enjoy exploring and learning about nature in these areas.

Walsall provides a fun, calm and creative environment for all children to flourish.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My child is very comfortable at this nursery, and it doesn't have a very high capacity which is much better for my child. I love that they have extracurricular activities.Such as french and football, which are not really expected at nurseries so this is a bonus.
My child seems to enjoy the food and
have friends. Education wise, I think more could be done, especially for those more advanced. Lastly, the nursery could do with a good clean and vacuum from the ceiling/skirting boards/ corners etc. Cobwebs galore. Otherwise, decent nursery will keep my child here. No major problems!! Think the trees at entrance should be trimmed slightly also.

My child has been attending this nursery for a few months now, and she genuinely enjoys going there. It's been wonderful to see her grow and develop through the fun & engaging activities they offer. Their communication with parents is excellent, and I always feel informed about my child's progress.
I highly recommend this nursery to other parents.

The staff have been great. My son has been going for just over a year now. I have seen such an improvement with his development whilst he has been attending The Old Station Nursery. The management have been so understanding for extra sessions, are approachable and friendly. The staff have helped my

Hand on heart I cannot thank this nursery enough for all the care they give to my boy, he's been going from 14 months and is now 2.5 years old.
I cannot fault them in anyway at all , my husband feels the same, which is amazing because at first when my son was going to start nursery as a first time
mom, it was hard to let someone else look after him.
All staff show just so much care towards the children, they do lots of activities throughout the day, my son has never not napped at nursery. Nappies are changed regularly as much as we do at home. We love the nutritious meals, snacks our son has at nursery.
Extra curriculum activities - French & football he does. He is very happy at nursery, comes home says all the staffs name. They update the app throughout the day, so I know what he's doing when at nursery.
Honestly cannot fault the nursery in anyway. I can only recommend them to anyone to lives locally to send their child here with 100% confidence.

Excellent staff. My baby is well cared for and developing beautifully. It is a very supportive, nurturing and creative environment and I love dropping her off there.
Her speech, mark marking, socialisation and building with toys have come on really well lately.
The activities planned for her are always
very imaginative and enjoyable whilst teaching her new skills.

After relocating to a new place I was worried about my daughter starting in a new nursery and having to settle in again. This was the only nursery where she went and started to play and interact with staff on viewing. I highly recommend this nursery, as one staff member specifically, has taken on board
the whole new place and move and helped us settle in so smoothly. My daughter loves going to nursery and now goes straight to her for cuddles. I happily go to work knowing she's very well looked after and the management team always greet you with smiling faces and makes you feel welcome. This nursery has a family-friendly environment and always go the extra mile.

My son has improved in his speech and at home he is very responsible. After eating he takes his plate to the kitchen which he never used to do. In addition, he has also developed a high level of wanting to know things. My son has learnt to share.

My daughter started eight months ago. She settled in very quickly and built a great bond with the baby room staff. She enjoys attending nursery so much that she is upset to leave. Her speech has really come on, her vocabulary is growing daily and she is a confident girl. The communication is good, the
staff inform me of what she has done that day and they post information on planning, what she has learnt and what she will be learning. This helps to give me tips on what we can do at home. They do a lot of activities indoors and outdoors, they also provide activities in line with the child's interests which is important. The food is healthy and there is a lot of variety.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.873)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.873) out of 10 for The Old Station Nursery Walsall is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.903 for The Old Station Nursery Walsall is calculated as follows: ( (141 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 155 Ratings = 4.903
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.97 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Old Station Nursery Walsall is based on 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 67 number of registered child places is 13.4. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.4 = 0.97
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
