  • The Old Station Nursery Stratford-upon-Avon Nursery & Pre-school, Stratford-upon-Avon
Stratford Nursery provides a home-from-home experience to ensure the children feel safe and secure to explore their environment. 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 main room and a connecting room for nap time, where the lights can be dimmed, calm music can be played, and a cosy atmosphere is able to be created. There is also a separate nappy changing area and kitchenette within the room, so everything is easily accessible.

The nursery is equipped with low level furniture and resources that encourage the children to develop individually, with staff available to support and guide them where needed. Activities are planned around the child’s individual interests and changing needs.

Outside there is a large outdoor area that is undercover, so that children are able to explore outside in all weathers. There is also a safe and dry space for the younger babies who are still crawling and learning to walk.

My little boy loves coming here. He has thrived and developed in so many ways. The environment is safe, friendly and exceeds our expectations. When you say goodbye to your child at the start of the day you want to know they'll have a day that is full of learning and fun and in a place that is going
to look after them and your certainly feel that here.

My daughter started at the Old Station Nursery in September and has settled so well in the baby room. She has built some lovely relationships with the staff and they are all very welcoming and caring. The children have lots of opportunities to explore independently, engage in a variety of activities,
and enjoy time outside. We have regular updates on how her day has been and it's lovely to see photos of her having fun. We couldn't be happier.

The Old Station Nursery is such a fantastic nursery, the staff are amazing, friendly and caring. I started using the nursery when my baby was only 7 weeks old and they have just been so great with everything. I get updates throughout the day at work via the app so can feel completely at ease knowing
my daughter is well cared for. The facilities are really good, having been fully refurbished recently. Would highly recommend this nursery to anyone in the area.

We recently moved to the area and found The Old Station Nursery with full-time availability for our son. The nursery has been amazing with his transition into full-time nursery, with constant updates, pictures and developments! I fully trust the staff with my son and they have looked after him incredibly.
The nursery has recently been renovated and my son loves all the new toys, the sensory room and the outside area!
He has developed so well being at this nursery. I couldn't recommend it more!

Such a welcoming and friendly environment for our daughter and for us when we drop off and pick up.
We can see how much our daughter learns from day to day and thanks to all the caring staff, she has grown so much.
All staff remember everything our daughter has done each day which we love and is always
very impressive.
Very happy leaving our daughter here and glad we chose Old Station Nursery.

My son has been going to The Old Station Nursery since 14 months of age. My initial anxiety of sending him to nursery soon disappeared as he settled in quite well. The practitioners have all been excellent at looking after him. My son has grown to be fond of all the staff at the nursery and looks forward
to spending the day with them. I cannot have enough gratitude and appreciation for the team at The Old Station Nursery.

When I was looking for a nursery to send my child to, myself and her were nervous about new changes, we have been greeted with the warmest of welcomes and our minds have been put at ease.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.867)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.867) out of 10 for The Old Station Nursery Stratford-upon-Avon Nursery & Pre-school 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 44 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 44 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 4.867 for The Old Station Nursery Stratford-upon-Avon Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (466 Excellents x 5) + (54 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 528 Ratings = 4.867
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Old Station Nursery Stratford-upon-Avon Nursery & Pre-school is based on 44 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 86 number of registered child places is 17.2, which has been reached with 44 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.
