Fantastic nursery team, caring and attentive. Excellent support from every member of staff too. My child has thrived here and loves going every day. A mix of activities and play. So flexible with day swaps too. Thank you all.

Review from F K (Mother of Child) published on 20 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Both of our children are currently at OSH Benty Lane. We have had a universally excellent experience at Benty Lane.
The staff are kind, caring and invested in the children. The range of activities both play and learning is incredible. The support to both children and parents is a huge positive.
My son is leaving for school in September and has learnt so much (in a playful environment) that he will be in a very advantaged position, and for that we are grateful.
Aside from the care for the children, the nursery tries to accommodate our needs (occasional day swaps etc) where possible and safe with staffing levels.
And just a mention to Jonathan the tennis coach, what a fantastic introduction for the children.

I couldn't recommend the nursery highly enough.

Review from Josh C (Father of Child) published on 16 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The Old School House on Benty Lane is a fantastic nursery. My child has been attending for over six months and settled in really quickly, thanks to the caring and welcoming staff, who did an excellent job helping them feel comfortable from the very beginning.
Every day, we receive a detailed update on what our child has eaten, how long they have slept, and the activities they have enjoyed. This level of communication is incredibly reassuring and gives us great peace of mind.

The facilities are excellent, providing a safe and engaging environment for children to learn and play. We are always greeted with a warm smile, and it's clear that the staff genuinely care about both the children and their families. I would highly recommend The Old School House to anyone looking for a nurturing and supportive nursery.

Overall Experience

Such a lovely nursery! Staff are friendly and welcoming. My daughter was only 6 months old when she started and I always felt she was well cared for. She loves going and always has the best time. There's great outdoor spaces for them to play in which are nicely hidden from public view.

Overall Experience

Honestly couldnt sing The Old School Houses Praise enough. Both my children have gone here, my second is still here. My second has severe anaphylactic food allergies and honeslty they couldnt do more, it is a really tough road to naigate and they do everything in their power to keep him safe, included and well looked after, He has his own food menu, they have removed certain allergens he has on days from the nusery for example green peas. Honestly words would ever express the gratitude we have towards all the team! They are like family.

Overall Experience

Our little one started at the beginning of the year and we have been very happy with the care that our little one has received. The staff have been fantastic at communication and are always welcoming. Our little one loves going to nursery and gets upset when we pick them up because he just wants to keep playing.

Overall Experience

I cannot rave about Old School House enough. My daughter loves going every time. The staff are professional, the activities varied and the food excellent. Recently my daughter had an allergic reaction and to be honest the nursery dealt with it way better and more informed than we would have. They helped us through the process. Can't thank them enough

Overall Experience
We have nothing but praise for the lovely staff at this nursery!
Everyone is warm, friendly and caring. The staff clearly work very hard to provide an exceptionally high level of care for the children.
Our daughter has loved attending nursery over the last 3 years. She runs in with a smile on her face and often needs carrying out because she does not want to leave! This has been incredibly reassuring for us, knowing she is happy here.
The team have been extremely accommodating and supportive of her additional medical needs, making adjustments to keep her safe. This has brought us huge peace of mind, to trust others to support her in the way we do at home - thank you.
The early drop off and late pick up options have enabled us to maintain our long working hours. We have really valued the flexibility to rebook missed days, so that these are not wasted.

We sincerely hope the staff are supported to continue to provide excellent care, under the new ownership from April 2026.

Overall Experience

We have had a great experience with OSH for the past 4 years. Our eldest is starting reception this year and it is clear that she has grown into a happy, confident little girl with OSH providing her with skills to ensure she is ready for reception. The French and tennis lessons are a bonus during preschool years. They try to be as accommodating as possible for unexpected changes in nursery sessions. It is evident staff are caring by how my girls talk about their carers when they come home.

Review from A S (Mother of Child) published on 28 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter's nursery is a lovely place for her to be. She has been going for a few years now and enjoys her time there. Her development is noticed by our close family and friends and we love to hear about her day when she comes home.
The staff (nursery nurses and admin) are all well spoken, kind and caring people and a testament to the nursery.
We receive a great 'handover' at the end of the day on collection. The carers never make you feel rushed and are happy to answer questions and tell you about your child's day and discuss their development.
The level of care and attentiveness is fantastic. The nursery do their best where possible to suit your child's normal schedule and needs which is hugely appreciated.

The nursery holds a high reputation in the local area and we only ever hear positive experiences.

Review from G S (Mother of Child) published on 26 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We are very pleased with the experience that our child has had throughout his time at the nursery. It is very well organised and the staff are very friendly and approachable. The children have a variety of opportunities to learn through a range of areas and these are well communicated through weekly newsletters and displays within the nursery. Our child has made great progress at the nursery and looks forward to attending. Staff give verbal feedback at the end of each day and reports are sent home to inform on our child's learning and development. Children bring home reading books to share with parents and these books are also read with nursery staff. The nursery environment is welcoming and inviting, including the outdoor areas. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Both my children attend the setting and I cannot compliment the care and support they receive enough. They love going to their nursery and learn so much, always engaging in educational activities that are fun and engaging. The staff are all amazing and truly care about the children , my kids have built strong positive relationships with all of their carers. Would highly recommend this setting to everyone!

Review from Emma S (Mother of Child) published on 26 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has enjoyed his time at nursery. He has developed significantly, moving from not wanting to leave me to actively looking forward to going to school. Whilst he only attends one day a week the progress in development in a number of areas are obvious from what he is learning - whether that is getting himself dressed or writing his name. Staff have always been helpful and supportive and he talks very positively about them.

He loves the outdoor play area and activities such as tennis and baking.

Review from S F (Mother of Child) published on 26 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We have had a very positive experience for both of our children attending the old school house nursery which has spanned over the past 8 years.
From the wonderfully warm welcome of the reception team to the handover to nursery staff, our children have felt happy and well cared for at the nursery.
Any concerns / issues we have raised have been dealt with in a timely and appropriate way.

Would highly recommend this nursery as a child focused setting with the drive to develop the children in preparation for transitioning to primary school and a nice outdoor space for them to play.

Overall Experience
Our daughter has struggled with going to nursery. However the two classes she's attended have been amazing with her. She has made close connections to the staff which show how attentive and caring they've been with her. The communication is great each time we pick her up.

All the staff are super friendly welcoming and helpful particularly the reception staff who are always happy to answer our questions.

Overall Experience
I love benty Lane, the reception staff are always welcoming and accommodating (and never make me feel bad on days where I'm disorganised). They know my boy by name and ask about things.
My son's key worker and their colleagues are also incredible. They genuinely seem to care about him, his wellbeing and what he likes/is learning. He has the best time and comes home chatty, well fed, happy and excited. He has come along so quickly with language, special and motor skills.
Really greatful for them all. Plus, their ability to be flexible on the days where I need some more time, they try so hard to fit us in.

Thank you!
