  • 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 5.0 out of 5
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.

Review from Andrea E (Mother of Child) published on 20 May 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

I have currently my second child in the same nursery. Very friendly staff, my sons love all of them. They report every-day through an app so I can see what my son has been doing - including photos/videos. I can just recommend.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.816)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.816) 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 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 4.916 for The Old Station Nursery Walsall is calculated as follows: ( (175 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 190 Ratings = 4.916
  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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Old Station Nursery Walsall is based on 16 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.9
    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, which has been reached with 16 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
