Such a fantastic Nursery, every member of staff is fabulous with the children. I have had two children who have attended this nursery and both were happy every day. The staff really take such good care of the children, they are such positive influences.

Review from Kerri O (Mother of Child) published on 11 April 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We have sent our second child here. She started a week before lockdown and we waited a year before sending her back.
If I could say one negative, it's a shame they got rid of the outdoor play frame.
She was very shy and wasn't used to being around other kids. We are so happy with how much she changed within 6 months. She has more confidence and we can now leave her with family whilst we go out without her crying after us. She loved the staff, they were so good to her and she always talked about what she had done that day. She learned some sign and she does it at home too. I am so happy with how much she has progressed and would highly recommend the nursery.

The management are really good too and were very helpful any time I needed support from them.

Review from Jessica P (Mother of Child) published on 25 March 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter has loved going to nursery from day 1. They’ve been really supportive of her settling into the baby room and she’s developed great relationships with the staff. The app is well updated throughout the day so you have an idea of what they get up to, eat and naps etc. Covid has meant we aren’t able to go in the nursery which is a shame so drops off are done at the door. Now the weather is better, they are having some outdoor time as well which we really support as parents. They come home with lots of crafty bits, even in the baby room. I’d really recommend the nursery to any parents who are trying to choose.

Reply from Sharon Cummins, Nursery Manager at Fire Station Day Nursery

Thank you for the review, Jessica and thank you for choosing Fire Station Day Nursery. We are hoping to assess the situation with parents coming into the building again very soon.

Lovely team of staff in Baby and Waddler room. My daughter is always happy to be dropped off and I am confident that everyone at the nursery is looking after her well and keeping her safe whilst I’m at work. Great place.

Overall Experience

An outstanding nursery in every respect, I am so glad we sent our daughter to the Fire Station Day Nursery. The staff are fantastic and the facilities and activities they do with the kids are brilliant. Our daughter loves her day at nursery and considers the staff her extended family which means I can leave her without a moment's worry. Her development right through from starting in the baby class at 9 months has been excellent and is a testament to the dedication of the staff. I cannot recommend Fire Station Day Nursery enough!

All my children have had an excellent time here and I would whole heartily recommend sending children to the Fire Station for a great experience and to well prepare your child for school. The app is a great communication tool and used very effectively.

Review from Helen T (Mother of Child) published on 19 August 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

So impressed with this nursery, both of my daughters attend with one due to leave next month for school. For the past 4 years, my daughter has loved going to this nursery and formed strong bonds with the staff that care for her. Have always felt assured that my children were happy and well cared for here, facilities are excellent and have helped them progress and develop skills. Even though moving further out of the area I decided to send my youngest child here instead of to a closer nursery due to how happy and confident I’ve been leaving my children in their care. Highly recommend!

Overall Experience

Both my children have attended Fire Station Day Nursery. My youngest is due to leave in August and she is going to really miss them. I have always felt comfortable at work knowing that the girls are safe and being well looked after. The facilities are fantastic, including a soft play area and sensory room, something I didn't see when looking round some other nurseries. The staff keep parents well informed and send regular photos and messages to let us know what the children have been up to.

Review from Lee W (Father of Child) published on 9 July 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our child has been going here for over 12-months. We've never had any issues at all. It's very secure with fingerprint recognition pads on all main doors so you know your child is safe. Staff are all very approachable including the manager. It's clean and tidy, good parking and they're usually quite flexible with any changes re extra days you might need to put your child into a nursery...obviously, you need to give as much notice as possible!

Review from Diane Y (Mother of Child) published on 8 September 2015 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The Fire Station Day Nursery has been a fantastic place for my little one to be whilst we're at work. He attended from the age of 12 months until he started school in September 2015 for 3 full days. I felt at ease with him being there as it is a safe secure environment. The children have fun playing and are also educated too in Spanish, numerous and phonics, preparing them for school. I would highly recommend this nursery if you're after childcare with peace of mind.
