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.
The Old Station Nursery Harpole has a Review Score of 9.7 (9.731) out of 10, based on 12 reviews in the last 2 years. Over all time The Old Station Nursery Harpole has 101 reviews.

Harpole Day Nursery has done a fantastic job at preparing my 4-year-old for school. My daughter had a good interest in books and learning to count and Harpole Day Nursery have encouraged this. She can now spell basic words like dog and cat so she is more than prepared for school so we're very pleased. She loves the teachers here! She eats much more here than at home which is down to the quality of cooking and eating with others. We would highly recommend Harpole Day Nursery.

Overall Experience
My little girl loves Harpole Day Nursery. Each morning when I drop her off, she runs off excited to meet her friends. Her counting and colours for a two-year-old are fantastic thanks to the games they play. The food is also great. She eats seconds every day!

The outdoor time is great and the home cooked fresh food is always eaten and loved by both our little ones. Always getting good/bad feedback regarding them which means there are lots to work on.

Amazing, caring staff. Our daughter has been here since she was 6 months old and has been really happy and well cared for. Any worries are always talked through and support given. We couldn't be happier with the care she has received.
Thank you.

The best review I can give about Harpole Day Nursery is that I am more than happy and comfortable in leaving my child in their care. This is our second child who has attended and the decision to put him into Harpole was obvious and easy.

We can always see that our son has had a great day when we collect him.

We are thrilled to have found and chosen Harpole Nursery for our miracle baby daughter.
I believe excellent staff are the most important part a nursery can provide to a baby/child and this is one of the reasons why I chose Harpole.
As a mummy, I always ensure I display smiles, laughter, a happy cheery environment and affection to my daughter at all times and the staff here certainly do too. The food/menu is also second to none and fresh home cooked food is important to me!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

My boys have been at the nursery over the past 5 years. I have never had any problems with the nursery and when I have raised the odd concern (in particular with regards to staff turnover) actions were put in place to update parents on staff changes and staff turnover massively reduced.
I am very happy with the nursery and will be sad when my youngest leaves next year. I have recommended the nursery on numerous occasions and all friends have had positive experiences too.
