The Old Station Nursery Stratford-upon-Avon Nursery & Pre-school

My experience of Old Station Nursery has been outstanding. The team led by Lucy are fantastic, they care deeply about the children, always take the time to both update the app throughout the day - but also consistently check in verbally at the start and end of the day. Every member of staff I have interacted with are great ambassadors for the nursery and their profession. I cannot rate them highly enough. Thank you Old Station Nursery team!

Five stars for this amazing nursery! My 17-month-old is currently attending and it's been such a great experience. The staff are lovely, the facilities are always clean and bright, and most importantly, my child is happy to go in every morning. It's such a relief to know they're in safe, caring hands while I'm at work. They also do so many cool activities,lots of messy play, baking, outdoor time, and sensory stuff that my little girl just loves. I really appreciate the daily updates and photos we get; it's so reassuring to see her having fun with her little friends. The energy in the room is always positive and the teachers are just brilliant with the toddlers. Huge thanks to the whole team for everything they do.

I was very worried about my daughter attending nursery but was comferted quickly because it was clear how much all the staff cared for each child. This was reflected in how quickly my daughter settled in. I love the app the nursery uses as I can see what she is getting up to and the pictures helped ease my worry at the beginning also. When my cousin was looking for somewhere to send her son, I very quickly recommended here.

Our 18 month old daughter absolutely adores going to nursery. When I was picking her up, she hit another child through sheer excitement of seeing me. Rather than getting angry, the staff showed remarkable understanding, care, and a positive approach to both children involved. My daughter was immediately upset by what she had done, but the staff, knowing her so well, handled the situation perfectly. What an outstanding nursery, which I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone.

My Daughter loves attending the Pre school. She always comes home very happy and chats away about all the different activities she has done that day. The staff are so friendly and we receive such a warm welcome every morning. We get such lovely updates and are invited to parent join in days, where it is lovely to see her playing in her pre school environment. She's always so happy to show us around all the different activities she gets to do. I can't recommend the pre school enough, my daughter loves it and she is really exceeding in her development and confidence whilst attending. Lucy is a fantastic manager and is always so helpful with any questions or queries we may have. All of the staff really ensure all my daughters needs are met and make sure they are helping her to develop and grow ready for going to school this year. We will miss the team very much when she has to go to school in September.

Felicity really enjoys nursery. I love all the activities nursery do with all the children. All the staff are fantastic and attentive.

Both my children have been at old station nursery from 1 year old with my youngest now in pre-school. They have thrived at both the nursery and pre-school alike. The staff have always taken the best care of my children and my eldest now at school loves coming back to say hello. I cannot fault the care or quality education or value my children have consistently received. They really do value the happiness of the children. Cannot rate Stratford upon Avon nursery and pre-school enough! The only thing I would improve would be food and nutrition but this is a national problem same with schools .

The staff are really knowledgable and friendly. Have helped my little boy settle really well and have been really reassuring. Ruth has been amazing as his keyworker and Lucy the manager really friendly and helpful.

My daughter started with them at 12 months old, and she has come on leaps and bounds. She loves going to nursery and is excited to be dropped off! The staff are so friendly and really care about the children they look after. Using the app, we get updated throughout the day, which is lovely. We chose this nursery because of how clean and secure the facilities were and how welcoming and friendly the staff are. They give her a huge variety of experiences from activities, food options and learning through play.

George has loved coming to nursery since starting pre school. His emotional development has improved lots over the past few months with the help of nursery staff.

Sid has settled in so quickly and happily at The Old Station, he has been here 6 weeks but seems like he's been settled much longer than that. He loves the staff and activities, and all the food, and his language is coming along so well since he started. We're really happy with the choice we made.

It was difficult at first, as he cried a lot, but the nursery thoughtfully assigned him a key carer to help him feel secure and build trust. This approach made all the difference. Gradually, he settled in, and now he runs into the nursery with a hug for the staff. He is only 4, but has shown great improvement with numbers and colours.

Our daughter Edie has settled back into nursery really well. We have seen how positive it has been for Edie to see such familiar faces with the staff team. The positive and friendly approach from the staff is currently creating a very warm and nurturing environment for all the children, in our opinion.

My child is very happy at this nursery and has been made to feel very comfortable and welcome. They experience a variety of different activites and are always excited to come. The staff are always very informative on collection and the app use is fantastic.

We have absolutely loved our experience of The Old Station Preschool. Indi has come along so well and enjoys every minute - the staff are just wonderful too and Indi speaks so highly of everyone! We're sad he has to move on to primary school because again its just so lovely here for him.

Lovely environment with friendly staff. The little guy is excited to come and always has a great time. Lots of activities which vary from day to day including indoor and outdoor activities. Favourites are cooking and music.

I love reading my son's daily updates and he loves all the toys and activities outside.

The preschool is such a lovely place. My son has grown so much and all the staff are lovely. It was the prefect move up from the nursery and we couldn't be happier.

My child has attended The Old Station Nursery for over a year and we couldn't be happier with our experience with the nursery. My child has additional needs and is non-verbal, and every member of staff at the nursery has taken the time to get to know and understand him, as well as helping and supporting us all as a family as we navigated the education, health and care plan process and school applications. We feel very lucky that our child attends this nursery, and we will be very sad that his time there is coming to an end when he starts school in September.

Everyone at pre-school has always been so lovely and caring towards my son. He loves coming to play with his friends and to do various activities. Pre-school is such a lovely environment, and all the staff are friendly and approachable. Also lovely, varied food options which are always enjoyable. Great daily updates at pick up, and love the info provided on the app.
