Review from C M (Mother of Child) published on 7 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We honestly couldn't be happier with our experiance at The Old School Day Nursery. Our son Regan started in the baby room earlier this year and from day one the team have been amazing. As parents we were quite nervous about settling him in, but they made the whole process feel so easy and reassuring.
It's been so lovely to see how much he has come out of his shell. The staff have really taken the time to get to know him and support him in such a kind and nurturing way, it really shows how much they care.
We also love the app - it's so nice getting little updates and photos, it makes such a difference and helps you feel connected to what they've been up to.
A special mention to Rhiane and Evie, who have been looking after Regan - they have been so lovely, patient and caring, and it's clear how much they genuinley adore the children. It makes leaving him each day that bit easier.

We're so grateful to everyone there, they really do go above and beyond. We would 100% reccomend them :)

Reply from Debbie Moreton, Nursery Manager at The Old School Day Nursery & Pre-school
Thank you for such a thoughtful review.
We're really pleased to hear how positive your experience has been since Regan joined the baby room.

Settling in can feel like a big step, so it's lovely to know the team helped make that transition feel easier for you. It's great to hear how much he's...

Review from K H (Mother of Child) published on 24 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I highly recommend The Old School Day Nursery. My daughter has absolutely thrived there. The team not only encourages her to be herself, but they really nurture her curiosity and love of learning. She's very much like her dad-always figuring out how things work, how pieces fit together, and how she can make something even better. The staff embrace that side of her completely. Through their play-based learning, they give her the space to explore, experiment, and problem-solve in her own way, as long as she's safe. Even when her approach is a little unconventional, they let her work things out and celebrate her independence.

We're so glad we chose this nursery. It's been the perfect place for her to grow.

Reply from Debbie Moreton, Nursery Manager at The Old School Day Nursery & Pre-school

Thank you for such a thoughtful review. It's fantastic to hear how well your daughter is thriving and that her curiosity and independence are being nurtured in a way that suits her personality.

We believe children learn best when they're given the space to explore and figure things out for...

Overall Experience

My son absolutely loves going to nursery, which really says it all. He settled in very quickly and has built great relationships with staff and other children there. One of the main reasons we chose The Old School was because it's a smaller setting - we wanted a close-knit, community feel rather than a large, impersonal nursery.

He always comes home smiling and has developed so much since starting there. I feel completely comfortable dropping him off each day, knowing he is happy, well cared for, and safe. The staff are always friendly, approachable, and create a lovely family atmosphere.

Reply from Debbie Moreton, Nursery Manager at The Old School Day Nursery & Pre-school

Thank you for such a lovely review. It's wonderful to hear how quickly your son settled in and how much he enjoys his time at The Old School.

Creating that close-knit, community feel is really important to us, so we're so pleased this stood out when you were choosing a nursery. Knowing he's...

An amazing nursery that has cared for both our children. They are always providing stimulating activities and both children loved going. We chose to have a smaller sitting to ensure that the staff knew our children and we consistently know they know them well.
Love the invite to parents/carers for special days as it is lovely seeing just how happy our child is there!

The current deputy manager is the most amazing woman, nothjng is ever too much trouble for her, she has been a consistent star and makes the Old School Nursery even better - thank you!

Excellent nursery very good friendly and professional staff.
My little one is very happy when she is over there.
A whole lot of plays for the kid's every day differed one.
Big bonus is the app where the staff daily adding pictures and all info about kid.
I can see how that nursery and the staff change my little one in the last year and how big progress she done into development.

Just great.

Review from Georgia B (Mother of Child) published on 13 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I could not feel more at ease sending my baby to The Old School Day Nursery, the staff are very kind and super helpful with any query. They ensured my child had extra settling in sessions when he was struggling with the transition of starting nursery. They have communicated with us really well throughout the whole process and have built a great bond with our son.

The activities are perfect for his age and what he likes to do, whilst also helping him develop further with fine motor skills, speech etc.

Reply from Stacy Scott, Nursery Manager at The Old School Day Nursery & Pre-school

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're so glad to hear that the extra settling sessions and strong communication helped your family feel supported during such an important transition. It's wonderful to know that your son is enjoying his activities and making great progress - we love having him with us!

Overall Experience

My son attend this nursery from 8 months old until he went to school this September. The nursery was the obvious choice for my daughter as we had a brilliant experience with my son. My daughter, however, struggles with separation anxiety. I can not praise the nursery and staff enough for their continued support and understanding. They have been amazing from the beginning, extra settling in sessions and working with me 1:1 to ensure my daughter has the best experience possible with the least amount of anxiety. They have personalised a plan for her and we have regular meetings to highlight things that are working and to come up with new ideas. I would 100% recommend this nursery to everyone.

Review from Cole D (Father of Child) published on 14 August 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My daughter moved to this nursery from another at the start of this year. She is three years old. In this time she has really improved in her speech. She now has more confidence in having a conversation and using bigger words. Her confidence has also improved, she was never shy but now she will get involved in every activity with all the chlidren. Finally, my daughter is a picky eater but since joining this nursery she has started to try new foods. This may be down to the fact they allow them to access food and drink alone and teach them independence.

My children have been at the nursery for the last 3 years. The nursery and staff are outstanding! I put my complete trust in them and wouldn't want a different nursery. Both my children have thrived here and absolutely love going. In my opinion, it is the best nursery by far! the relationship my children and myself have with all the staff is just amazing.

Review from Jade V (Mother of Child) published on 27 April 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has been coming here since she was 7 months old - she is 2 now and is really thriving.
I did start off putting her in this one for the convenience of location - as it is only a 2-minute drive from where I work - but I am so happy with my choice.
The staff are all excellent, she is always greeted with a smile and never looks back to say bye now, just runs straight in.
She is always talking about certain staff members when we ask her who she is going to see and play with at nursery today.

Overall, brilliant staff and I cannot wait for her next journey to the preschool room later this year.

Overall Experience

My little girl started at The Old School Day Nursery & Pre-school when she was 9 months old and she has flourished and this is thanks to the great staff and the activities that they provide. She is 3 now and she loves going to nursery. She enjoys Forest School and the fantastic range of activities that the staff prepare for the children. The parent zone app enables me to see lovely photos of what she has been doing each day and my daughter loves to look back at these each evening. The staff are amazing and go over and beyond each day. There are lots of stay and play sessions available to us as parents which I have participated in and it’s great to see my daughter interacting with the other children. I would highly recommend this nursery.

In my role, I am dedicated to supporting our team and ensuring that every child receives the highest-quality care and early education. Since joining Tommies, I have developed my skills and deepened my understanding of the policies, procedures, and values that make our nursery a nurturing and supportive place for both children and staff. Witnessing children and families grow in confidence is truly one of the best parts of my job.

Mentoring new staff members and helping existing team members progress in their roles brings me great fulfilment, as I enjoy watching others grow and succeed.

Creating a positive, open atmosphere where my team feels valued, supported, and confident coming to me with anything, big or small, is very important to me. I strive to foster a nursery environment where everyone feels listened to and can rely on one another.
