The Old Station Nursery Harpole is a warm and nurturing village nursery that delivers high-quality childcare in a close-knit setting. Providing care for up to 34 children per day, the nursery’s smaller size ensures plenty of opportunities for each child to grow and develop to their fullest potential.
The rooms inside are carefully designed with age-appropriate resources, offering a safe and stimulating environment for every child’s development. Babies start in their own room where they are encouraged to explore and learn about their environment. With a mixture of child-led and structured activities and the support of their key carer, every baby is given the best start in life.
Once slightly older, children progress to the toddlers' room, which offers a variety of learning experiences such as imaginary and sensory play. The secure garden area provides free-flow access, allowing children to enjoy plenty of outdoor activities and keep active during the day.
Pre-schoolers engage in activities such as arts and crafts, construction and role-play. They spend time outside, planting vegetables and using the loose part props in the garden space. With the support of the team, children are prepared at every stage of learning in preparation for the transition to school. The nursery also has strong links with local primary schools to ensure the process is as smooth as possible.
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.

We have been coming to nursery since my daughter was just under 1 year old and she is in the baby room. She settled in so quickly, which gave us so much reassurance, and she is always so happy to go in.
All of the staff are incredibly friendly, welcoming and caring, and it's clear how much they genuinely look after the children. She eats really well there, enjoys lots of lovely activities and has made some lovely little friends too.
Communication has always been brilliant, there are always updates on the app and emails are answered quickly and staff are always helpful and supportive. We've seen such lovely progress in her development since attending and are so happy with how well she is doing. We couldn't be happier with our experience so far and would highly recommend the nursery.

Our daughter is absolutely thriving in this Nursery. She has made many great friendships and adores all the staff. Her language and learning is coming on leaps and bounds. Her development has always been a focus and the Nursery staff help teach her and set further learning skills to achieve. My daughter loves all the imaginative play, music and dance activities. We can check in on her throughout the day on our parent app for peace of mind and even see photos of her. The food is amazing, varied, healthy and nutritious with the odd special treat. The Nursery makes Occasions such as Christmas and Mother's Day extra special which is such a lovely touch. We would recommend this little Nursery to any parent/guardian. It feels like another part of our family, so supportive. We can't thank you all enough. Thank you!
We are delighted to read how much your daughter is thriving at our nursery and the wonderful progress you are seeing in her language and learning. It's lovely to know that the care, communications, and special celebrations make it feel like such a supportive, family environment.
Fab staff, always goes above and beyond. Never any problems that can't be dealt with. Very accommodating. Keep up the great work team.

The nursery has been in our lives for over 5 years (2 kids). We have been super impressed with the care and attention our children have received. They provide a loving and friendly atmosphere. The children always return home happy, and we have never needed to raise any concerns about anything. I would recommend the nursery to anyone if asked. The staff are brilliant. We will miss this place when our son starts school in September.

I love the app and constant updates, most important for me is that I can see the staff is really caring and really cares about his wellbeing and happiness.
Thank you so much to two specific members of staff especially.
Also food options are great and they get offered fresh and varied food options.

The best nursery! Both of my kids love(d) going there. They develop so well in there in all aspects - being independent, potty training, good eating habits, basic phonics, numbers, etc. But what the nursery has been consistently great at during those couple of years, is teaching kids kindness. They raise them to be good people, and kind to each other. Thank you!
Kindness is so important and that is lovely to hear. We'll make sure your review is passed onto the team.

Both of my children have progressed so much since starting Harpole Day Nursery. They have developed great relationships with their key workers which gives me peace of mind when returning to work! I love the regular updates via the app and see what they get up to. It's lovely to see how they are progressing. Both of my children also have dairy allergies and the way they manage this and provide alternatives has been great!
My little boy loves nursery. I really like how he warms to everyone. He loves the workers and the people and he talks nonstop about the activities.

Our little boy has a fantastic time at nursery. The staff regardless of which room they are based in, know our little boy so well. He runs into the nursery and we love knowing how safe he is there. The staff go above and beyond for special events too. We would recommend Harpole to anybody.

Harpole is always really informative when we pick up. They have been extremely supportive towards potty training in the toddler room. My child goes one day a week currently and they are perfect for her needs. Looking forward to increasing her days.

The loveliest team. Always there to talk to and help with any questions you have. I was so apprehensive about nursery and leaving my little boy, but it was the best thing I’ve done. He has come on leaps and bounds, and I feel confident he is left in great hands.
