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.

My child enjoys her days at nursery, she always has lots to tell me about her fun day and the lovely food she has had for lunch.
I like how my child is settling in. Her vocabulary has come on well and she is less clingy than when she first joined.

My daughter has been coming here for over a year and has excelled in every aspect. She is not yet 4 but can count past 20 and can write almost all of her letters. The staff are always friendly and considerate. My daughter has made so many friends which has helped her confidence and independence skills. I am very happy I moved her here and will be sad to leave in September.

Only negative - tea isn't a main meal - it is a snack. Daughter still needs feeding when she comes home from nursery.
My daughter loves going to Harpole Nursery. The carers are all really enthusiastic, kind and friendly. My daughter always eats everything she is given at nursery and seems to really enjoy the food. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Harpole Day Nursery.

She loves to play outside and there is a lovely secret garden where she loves playing and getting dirty. It is a small nursery and the staff adore the children and the feeling is mutual.

My son only stays at the nursery for 1 day a week, so it took him a while to settle, but the nursery took their time to ensure my son felt safe and comfortable away from home. He loves his key worker and says her name whenever we talk about nursery. After every session, we receive a progress sheet detailing his food, naps, nappies and activities throughout the day, which is always explained to me when I pick up my son. We are really happy with the nursery and my son loves it.
My daughter loves attending nursery. The staff are brilliant and take such good care of all the children. Great outdoor space which the children use all the time, which my daughter really enjoys.

Our son has been at this nursery now for about 6 months and we love it. The staff are so friendly and enthusiastic with the children. He always comes home with lots of stories about what he has been up to that day from painting, helping make dessert for tea time and playing outside in the mud garden. We are also really impressed with the freshly cooked meals he receives and the variety of menus each week. We really cannot say enough good things about this nursery and feel safe dropping him off every day that he will be looked after so well.
Excellent nursery couldn't wish for a better one. Staff are all excellent and very caring. My daughter is extremely happy here.

This is a very friendly and professional service, my boys have thrived here and their development reflects all the hard work done by the staff. The facility is excellent, clean, well equipped and safe for all the children.

My son has been attending Harpole Day Nursery for nearly 1 year and is now off to school. Harpole have been fantastic for the whole of his duration there and they have always made me feel welcome and part of the team. My son loves the time he spends with them and enjoys all the food and activities they provide. They have helped him come on leaps and bounds with reading and writing and doing practical chores for himself, his confidence has grown tremendously. I just wanted to say if your looking for a nursery you should really consider them if you want a small, friendly, family atmosphere for your child.
