Review from V S (Mother of Child) published on 20 February 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience

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.

Thank you for recommending our setting! The team will be so pleased to read how reassured you feel when you are apart from your little one. The app is great for this to see daily updates as well as key milestones.

The Old Station Nursery have looked after two of my children from 10 and 12 months and their care of both of them has been impeccable. I feel confident leaving them in their care and feel knowledgeable about their days as I'm updated frequently throughout the day.

Overall Experience
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!

↩Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at The Old Station Nursery Stratford-upon-Avon Nursery & Pre-school

We are very proud of our provision and aim to make the transition to nursery as smooth as possible through regular updates in the app and face-to-face to reassure parents. Thank you for recommending our nursery.

Overall Experience
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.

We have been so impressed with how well looked after our son is at nursery. He is so loved which is so reassuring for us as parents. Knowing even if he is upset at drop-off that he will be cuddled and looked after is everything. We (and our son) love the staff here!

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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. Since my daughter has come she has thrived and is eager to go in the mornings. I am very impressed with the friendly staff and would 100% recommend to everyone. Our experience has been fantastic.

↩Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at The Old Station Nursery Stratford-upon-Avon Nursery & Pre-school

Thank you for sharing your experience! We understand enrolling your child into nursery can feel overwhelming so it is wonderful to read how our practitioners have supported you and your daughter to settle and that she is thriving.

Overall Experience
Fantastic preschool setting!
My son attends 3 sessions a week and the transformation in him has been marvellous.
The staff is wonderful and has accommodated my son's additional needs
The staff are magnificent especially the staff who put so much time and attention in with my son and have made amazing progress with him. He loves being there and he has come on developmentally in leaps and bounds since attending.

Wonderful setting and I recommend it highly to anyone.

My children love coming to nursery and preschool. They love the staff and have so much fun with all the activities on offer. I am kept up to date on their progress and development and I enjoy seeing what they have been up to with my snapshots and daily updates.

The staff are amazing and they all know my children so well. It's lovely to see the bonds they have with all the staff.

↩Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at The Old Station Nursery Stratford-upon-Avon Nursery & Pre-school

Communication is so important when you have little ones attending nursery. Parents want to be updated and know that their little ones are well-cared for, educated and most importantly, happy. Thank you for sharing your experience.

I am very pleased with the nursery. The staff are very attentive to my son and his requirements. They are very welcoming when we arrive and keen to update us when we pick up.

We have been using Old Station Nursery since March 2022. Staff are brilliant. Very friendly and have formed good relationships with us and our son. Feel the outside areas could do with a bit of a refurb and the car park isn't great.

Overall Experience
I think the nursery teachers are amazing and do such a good job at educating and looking after my son, his speech before starting nursery wasn’t that great but in the last 7 months since he’s started it has come along so well and it’s all down to the wonderful women who work at the nursery. He always comes back home so happy after nursery telling me all about the things he’s learnt that day.

I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

Review from D L (Father of Child) published on 24 July 2023 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Overall my little one seems happy, I like the staff handovers, especially being allowed inside the rooms now.
I think the outside looks a little run down, the front lawn is very overgrown and you took down the outside climbing frame 6 months ago but not replaced!

I would also like parent's evenings every 6 months as I’ve only had 1 in about 15 months.

Overall Experience
The staff at the nursery are lovely. They really care about the children and take the time to get to know them. They build close relationships so the children trust and love them.

Unfortunately, the price of the nursery has gone up significantly since OSN took over and their communication isn't great. Despite the price increase, there is no sign that the OSN group plan to improve the facilities or resources for staff and children - besides superficially adding their branding to windows, signs etc. However, this takes nothing away from the amazing staff (inclusive of the nursery manager) and their efforts with the children.
