The Old Station Nursery Barnt Green embraces a uniquely home from home feel. Situated in a converted house, the nursery provides 5 rooms and access to 3 outdoor spaces, giving children plenty of space and opportunity to learn and develop.
Its small size is what makes Barnt Green truly unique. The intimate setting allows each of the nursery teams to know all the children and families personally, giving the nursery a really welcoming, family feel; whilst the children are able to socialise with all age groups giving them the change to further develop their social skills and confidence.
Promoting healthy practices is at the core of the nursery, with children participating in activities which aid a healthy lifestyle, eating healthy meals and doing regular exercise. 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.
Outdoor learning plays a key role in the nursery and children will often be outside exploring all that the outdoor spaces have to offer, come rain or shine!

So happy with the way the Sandhills Barnet Green girls have brought my son out of his shell. He's come on leaps and bounds since starting there and absolutely loves it. They are very supportive of any challenges he is facing such as potty training etc. He is extremely happy here and would not want him anywhere else!
All 3 of my children have attended Sandhills Nursery. The staff have been so welcoming and nurturing to the children. I cannot recommend Sandhills Nursery enough.

Be great to know who the new staff are and their names.
Unaware of the exact key person is, I was under the impression it was one person where my son says another.
Sometimes there is a little lack of communication with staff changes, i.e. Our key worker was moving to another area due to the original key worker was coming back I only knew when my boy told me on the last day.
Would like more communication about how they start intergrading children to school life, I am a little worried due to my boy will be going to another school to others so be great to know what prep will be made towards this move.

Since our children (1 and 4) started at the nursery in January we have been delighted with our experience. The staff are all so friendly and happy to be there and they really went the extra mile to make sure our children settled in. Our children are so happy to go to nursery in the morning now and we have noticed a big change in our 4 years olds confidence. Sandhills has been fantastic for our children.
Fantastic nursery. The staff go above and beyond daily to bring the best out in my daughter and tailor 1:1 activities to her needs. All of the staff seem generally happy and appear to enjoy their jobs. They come up with some really creative ideas and activities for the children to do.

My daughter has been attending Sandhills Nursery for two years now and she really enjoys her time there and has a great relationship with the key workers. I think the staff do a great job and she enjoys all the activities that they offer.

Lovely staff. Facilities could be cleaner. Lovely outdoor space. Could do with redecorating downstairs.

I cannot begin to explain what a relief it is to drop our children in an environment that we feel 100% comfortable with.
Children are treated with the respect, interest and care that I would expect. They plan exceptional educational activities that have a process map, beginning, middle and end and will often cover literacy, numeracy, PSE and creative development within one topic cross all rooms. They have a sensible illness policy for children which is also a relief. Each of the rooms is joyful. The staff here really do care, that in itself is priceless.
It’s hard to pinpoint exactly what it is about the setting, however, I believe the staff are excellent, it’s a welcoming environment with clear boundaries and exceptional age specific activities.
I adore that it’s a converted house. It’s a joy to pick the girls up from the garden, where they are always being engaged with or playing together, this nursery feels like a home. A true testimony to the amazing work they do.
My son has recently settled into nursery. Throughout the process, the staff have been kind and supportive.

Our experience of the Sandhill Nursery has been fantastic and we would definitely recommend to others. At first, I was so nervous and apprehensive about leaving my son but I have never felt so reassured, supported and welcome than at Sandhill. It's just amazing nursery.
Our son has been at the nursery for almost a year and I feel he has come along very far in the time he has been there.

Our child has been attending Sandhills for two days a week since January 2016. It is a safe and comfortable environment for little ones, with staff who are caring, friendly and approachable. I'm amazed at how much attention to detail goes into the care of the children - especially given how chaotic a busy nursery environment can be. The children's days are packed with fun, creative and educational activities, often with play outside in the garden or walks around the local area. Every day, there is something new to do. Staff at Sandhills were a great help with some of our toddler's key development steps - especially toilet training - as they had the skill and the confidence to recognise when he was ready and encourage him (and us!) every step of the way.
Sandhills in Barnt Green is a very genuine, warm and welcoming nursery. The staff are fantastic, extremely caring and flexible and their priorities are the children's well-being and happiness. Activities are varied and stretch the children's development, although I would like to hear of more...
Sandhills in Barnt Green is a very genuine, warm and welcoming nursery. The staff are fantastic, extremely caring and flexible and their priorities are the children's well-being and happiness. Activities are varied and stretch the children's development, although I would like to hear of more outside time for the young ones but I understand it is not always easy this time of year. My son now is well settled in and enjoys toddling up to their front door on nursery days and I have no concerns about leaving him, in their capable hands whilst I go to work.
Overall I'm very happy with everything. Fun staff, lots of effort put into themes and activities. My only reservations are with cleanliness - the nursery has a 'nappy' smell and doesn't, within reason, seem as clean as I'd like.

This is a fantastic nursery with exceptional staff. Both of my boys have attended here and the staff are like part of our family. I couldn't ask for better care.

My little boy currently attends Sandhills Barnt Green and has done since he was 9 months. He absolutely loves it and the staff. I hated going back to work full time but it has been such a weight off my mind to see how well cared for he is and how much he loves being there. I can honestly say he has come on leaps and bounds and has thrived with them.

As a parent, I like the fact the nursery is small, so all the staff know all the children and the kids get to occasionally interact with those older and younger than themselves.
Activities are varied including daily outdoor play and music classes (at an additional cost).
After searching for weeks for a nursery I came across Sandhills Nursery in Barnt Green. I am so happy I did as my daughter whom I have never left with anyone, settled in so well because of the patience and care from the staff there. I can go off and leave her knowing she is getting the best care...
After searching for weeks for a nursery I came across Sandhills Nursery in Barnt Green. I am so happy I did as my daughter whom I have never left with anyone, settled in so well because of the patience and care from the staff there. I can go off and leave her knowing she is getting the best care and most of all, she is very happy in her surroundings. She has come on leaps and bounds since starting there with her walking and talking as they teach them things I wouldn't do at home.
My son has been going to Sandhills Day Nursery for around 6 months. He thoroughly enjoys his time there and this is shown from the moment we pull up to the front day where he shows his excitement. The staff are friendly and I feel I can trust them to look after my son while I am at work.

I would recommend this nursery highly to anyone.
