Overall Experience

Both of my children have attended Old School House, with my eldest now in her first year of school and my youngest in Hedgehog class. Both children love going to nursery and the staff should take every credit for that. They always go the extra mile to bond with the children and come up with new, creative

ideas for them to get stuck into.

Reply from Leah Hannon, Customer Service at Nature Trail Nursery Old School HouseThank you so much for sharing this lovely feedback. Its wonderful to hear that both of your children have loved their time at Old School House.

Overall Experience

The staff at Old School House make the nursery feel home from home. My daughter settled in pretty much on the first session thanks to the brilliant team that they have. Always a positive greeting in the morning : ) Play, learning and care is evident from the development that I have seen within my daughter.

Nothing is a problem whether it's dietary requirements, adjustments or clarification on something. I definitely made the right decision as I couldn't imagine my daughter anywhere else now. Snails room has been nothing short of wonderful. Huge thanks to you all at OSH in particular to Management, snails team and the lovely chef keeping our little loved ones nourished. The app is fab and I love getting the updates and photos

Reply from Leah Hannon, Customer Service at Nature Trail Nursery Old School HouseThank you so much for your wonderful feedback. Were delighted to hear how quickly your daughter settled and that Old School House feels like a home-from-home for her. It means a lot to the whole team from Management and the Snails room to our chef to know their care, communication, and support are making such a positive difference. Were so pleased youre seeing this reflected in her development, and were glad youre enjoying the updates on the app. Thank you for your kind words and for choosing OSH we truly appreciate it.

Overall Experience

My son has been coming to this nursery since he was a baby hes now 2 and is thriving! All the staff have contributed to his care and they all have so much love for him. He absolutely loves coming and has made lots of friends with both his peers and staff. I could never imagine my son going anywhere

else, and will be gutted when its time for him to leave for school. They offer so much support and all staff are welcoming and approachable and I get great handovers. I never have to worry about him going in nursery he runs in every day with a smile on his face. I am so grateful for every team member that have contributed to his care and guidance over the last 2 years! They have done an amazing job of fundraising and between them all doing the outside space up so he can explore the garden. Thank you all so much

Reply from Leah Hannon, Customer Service at Nature Trail Nursery Old School HouseThank you so much for your lovely words!

Review from A M (Mother of Child) published on 23 February 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

The staff at Nature Trail Old School House made my husband and I feel welcome from the moment we walked in. Zoe, the manager, was kind, friendly, informative and genuinely reassuring. Every member of staff we met as we walked around were warm and approachable, and the children all seemed happy, settled

and thriving.

Our son started at 11 months old and his confidence has grown so much. I was incredibly nervous at first and rang every day for the first few weeks, but the staff were always patient, understanding and quick to reassure me.

Now he absolutely loves nursery, runs in smiling and has made so many friends. The staff care for him like their own, and they all know every child's name and what they like. I would choose Old School House again without hesitation and can't recommend them highly enough.

Reply from Leah Hannon, Customer Service at Nature Trail Nursery Old School HouseThank you so much for your lovely review. Were delighted to hear how welcome you felt from the start and how much confidence your little one has gained since joining us.

Overall Experience

Our son has been coming to this nursery since he was one. Zoe was great setting up settling in sessions and is always present at nursery, on emails or on the phone if you need anything. Our son has been allocated a key worker in each room - all the staff are super friendly. His current key worker is

Melissa, she is kind and attentive and always gives us a run through of our son's day and lets us know if he needs anything. The nursery do a mixture of activities for the children; lots of outdoor play and they have a dance/music class on in the week. Our son's confidence has grown massively since him joining, and it's nice to know that he's being well looked after and having fun. The food menu has recently changed and offers a good variety of options. Thank you Team Old School House!

Reply from Leah Hannon, Customer Service at Nature Trail Nursery Old School HouseThank you so much for your lovely review! Were delighted to hear how well your son has settled and how much his confidence has grown. Zoe, Melissa, and the team will be thrilled by your kind words they work hard to make each day positive and reassuring for families.
Were glad youre enjoying the variety of activities and the updated menu too.
Thank you again for your support it means a lot to everyone at Team Old School House!

Overall Experience

Our son has been attending this nursery since he was just 6 months old, and now at 22 months, we couldn't be more grateful for the care and support he's received throughout his time there. Watching him grow into a confident, curious, and happy little boy has been such a joy, and the nursery team has

played a huge part in that journey.
The staff are consistently warm, patient, and genuinely invested in his wellbeing.
He goes in smiling each morning, which tells us everything about how safe and loved he feels.
A special mention has to go to Zoe in the baby room, who has been such a steady, caring presence at the very beginning in the baby room. Her kindness and calm approach made those early months so much easier for us as new parents, we knew he was in good hands! It's the people which make this nursery what it is!

Reply from Leah Hannon, Customer Service at Nature Trail Nursery Old School HouseThank you so much for sharing such a lovely review. It's been a privilege to watch your little one grow from 6 months to the confident, curious boy he is today. Knowing he comes in smiling each morning means the world to us.
We're especially pleased to hear how much Zoe's support has meant to your family. Her calm, caring presence in the baby room is something we value deeply, and she'll be delighted to know she made those early months easier for you.
Thank you again for your trust and kind words.

Overall Experience

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone at Old School House for making Mila's first week such a positive experience.

As a parent, it's always a big step leaving your child somewhere new, but from day one I felt reassured by how kind, patient, and attentive the staff have been. Mila has

settled in far better than I could have hoped, and it's clear she feels safe, happy, and cared for.

I've been really impressed by the communication, the warm welcome each morning, and the genuine care shown to all the children. It means so much to see Mila coming home happy and excited after her days with you. Special thank you to Lily who's her key person, she's been amazing.

Thank you again for such a wonderful start to her nursery journey. We're so grateful to have found such a lovely, supportive environment for her. Would highly recommend

Overall Experience

Our son really enjoys Old School House. The staff are extremely welcoming and are always willing to go the extra mile to make him happy. We are kept up to date with what he gets up to and they do lots of different activities throughout the week. The food is great and they were extremely helpful with

dairy/milk allergies. They also have a really good outside area with lots of areas to play (and keep safe from the sun!). I would recommend Old School House to friends and family.

My son has been here for nearly a year and I can't praise the staff and manager there anymore they do so much for all the children and especially for my own recognising that he needs some additional help and helping me in finding the right help for him.

Review from Kelly A (Mother of Child) published on 3 February 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My daughter has attended this nursery since being 5 months old - she is now in the preschool room - and the staff throughout her time there have been amazing. They have supported us with all manner of things including while we were weaning, potty training, and have been great at the day to day learning.

They actively ask for participation from parents and will base activities around each child's favourite things - my daughter's favourite being her 'We're going on a bear hunt' week!
The nursery have a fantastic back garden which includes a climbing frame, swings, slide and their very own veg garden - this is also fantastic.
There are always events on that the children are encouraged to participate in too such as visits out to local parks and shops, and themed days in nursery for different things like Christmas, Easter and other holidays!
Overall, we could not have asked for better!

Overall Experience

Both of my children have attended this nursery-one who has now moved on to school and one who is still there-and we honestly couldn't be happier with the care they've received. Zoe and her team are absolutely fantastic. They always put the children first, really listen to parents, and create a warm,

caring environment where the little ones feel safe and happy.

The nursery has great facilities and a beautiful garden, which the children absolutely love during the summer months. The nursery do lots of events that make the place feel special, like stay-and-play sessions, Christmas fair, parent evenings, and other opportunities to get involved and feel connected.

Overall, it's a nurturing, welcoming nursery with staff who genuinely care. I'm so grateful for everything they've done for both of my kids.

Overall Experience

Absolutely amazing nursery. My girls have been there since they were 4 months old , they are due to leave later this year. Over that time they've grown so much , not just in size. All the staff are fantastic with the kids there. But there has to be massive praise aimed directly at the manager ,

Zoe.

I've seen many great changes over the years , the back garden being the biggest and best one yet.

Now with the extra help and managerial freedom afford by Partou , the nursery is only ever going to get better and better.

Just ask any of the other parents , they'll tell you exactly the same. Going to be a sad day when my two leave. We will all miss the place so much
