The Old Station Nursery is very well run by a team of people who understand the value of family. My two girls settled in very quickly as the staff were fantastic with them. The meals are well balanced and there is a great variety of food. My girls are taught to be friendly and courteous at all times which means so much as a parent.
If you are considering this nursery I would recommend you speak with the nursery manager and you will instantly know that your kids will be well cared for.

The staff at The Old Station are fantastic. My experience has been excellent. My daughter has learned so much at playgroup and she finds learning there interesting and fun. She has developed her independence with the help of the girls in playgroup. She thoroughly enjoys her snacks and lunches and loves the vet corner, the hospital corner and the shop corner. She is very happy here and I would highly recommend to any parent. Staff in the after playgroup room are fab too.

My son has attended The Old Station since he was 5 months old. Aged 3, he still loves going to "school" and talks about his "friends" who include the other children and the excellent staff. The Old Station offers excellent opportunities for learning and skill development, including lots of messy play.
All food is wholesome and freshly prepared. This is important to me and the factory that swayed my decision when choosing a childcare option. As parents, my husband and I are delighted with all aspects of our son's care and how the staff have worked hard to foster his independence at key milestones.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this nursery. Always a step ahead thinking about the development of children and understanding the concerns/fears of the children as they hit developmental milestones or periods of transition. I have 2 children at this nursery and each child is treated as an individual and not just...
The nursery has an experienced management team and will try and accommodate you as a parent juggling daily life and work commitments whenever possible.

All staff know my little boy by name, even those who do not have direct contact with him. Food is freshly-made and there is a varied menu - he eats better there than he does at home!! I would whole-heartedly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for suitable childcare arrangements for their child.

The Old Station staff Care Nursery and facilities are absolutely first class. My daughter is extremely well cared for and looks forward to going to Nursery every morning. I am particularly impressed with how professional and attentive all members of staff are and how passionately they attend to their duties every day. The dedication shown by members of management and staff to provide a safe and caring environment for our little one to learn cannot be understated. From a parents point of view, it is comforting to know that we can leave our child in the care of such trustworthy professionals. Top notch across the board.

I have two boys at The Old Station.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
Excellent nursery, I have 2 kids here who started in the baby room and are now in playgroup and after school. The staff are excellent and my kids are happy and content here. They provide excellent care and a wide range of activities.

My child's development since attending the Preschool facility at The Old Station has been tremendous. His mild and happy temperament is a testament to the excellent care and teaching style received. The anxiety experienced as a parent when your child is setting out on a schooling journey was soon allayed on evidence of our child's educational development. All the staff are so welcoming and accommodating towards our child. We couldn't be happier with The Old Station.

My daughter attends after school at The Old Station Nursery. Meals are freshly prepared on site and are varied and well balanced. The menu changes regularly to meet all needs and tastes! The staff are very welcoming when you arrive at the nursery. The nursery keeps parents well informed of all information relating to my daughter whilst at the nursery. The activity timetable is fun filled and packed with different activities which keep my daughter stimulated! The outside play area is a great hit with my daughter, she likes to let off steam after being cooped up in a classroom all day at school! I would have no problem in highly recommending The Old Station to family or friends as it has what any parents want "A home from home feeling".

Before opening the Old Station Nursery, I worked as a qualified nurse for 10 years, working with both babies and small children. I then went on to complete my BTech in childhood studies, while also working as a classroom assistant for 4 years in a primary school. During the time that I working as a classroom assistant, I became more aware of the need for a good quality daycare nursery in the Dromore area. I took the brave decision of leaving my job as classroom assistant and began working on my new project of opening The Old Station Daycare Nursery which opened in April 2000. Within 9 months of opening the nursery, we saw the need for expansion and obtained a modular building to facilitate the demand and doubled our capacity.
I feel I am well qualified to understand the needs of children and I am able to provide a safe, secure and caring environment in which your child will grow as an individual.
I am also a wife and a mother of two grown up girls and when not running the nursery there is nothing I enjoy more than spending time with my family.

I've worked at the nursery since 2004. I’ve had experience in working in all the rooms and I took up the role of Nursery Manager in 2018. I am also the Playgroup Leader of our Senior Playgroup. I enjoy dealing with challenging behaviour and looking at the ways of helping the children to behave appropriately as its very satisfying to see their behaviour improve over time. I really enjoy baking, crafts and messy play with the children because I get to be a big kid each day and also because the children can develop so much from these ranges of activities that are offered in the nursery.

I started working in the nursery back in 2004. I have a cache diploma and have since gained a Level 5 in management. When I started at the nursery I started working in the pre-school room and have been here ever since. My aim as Pre-school leader is to prepare the 3 year olds for their move to senior playgroup and to promote independence. Throughout the years I have been promoted into a management role which I really enjoy.

I am one of the original team members and room leader in the toddlers. I started to work alongside Carolyn in 2000 and during my time I have successfully completed my level 3 in childcare, the two year old programme and numerous other courses.

I have worked as part of The Old Station team as Office Administrator since 2017 after completing my degree in Business Studies. I have always been part of The Old Station team as this is our family business and have been in the nursery from aged 8 when my mum opened the business in 2000. In my role as office administrator I really enjoy helping developing the business further. More recently I decided to take the leap and work towards gaining my Level 3 in Childcare. This has allowed me to work in the Senior Playgroup in the mornings which I really enjoy. I love my job as I get to do 2 roles every day!

I started working in the Old Station Nursery in September 2004. When I first started working in the nursery I worked with afterschool which I really enjoyed. However, when a position became available for the cook I applied for it and was successful. I was extremely delighted as this allowed me to combine my love for working with the children and also my love for cooking. I now cook all the meals for the children and I like to see the pleasure on their faces when I cook them a tasty, nutritious meal. I really enjoy getting involved with helping the children try new foods and talking to them about the foods that I offer. Before taking up the post as resident cook, I completed my food and hygiene course to comply with environmental health standards. At The Old Station Nursery we are proud to have been awarded with a score of 5 on the Hygiene Rating Scheme every year.

I have worked in The Old Station since 2008. I have an NVQ in childcare. I work with the 3-4 year olds in our Senior Playgroup also known as Pre-school. I really enjoy watching the children develop into their own person and being part of helping to prepare them for the next stage, that being p1. We work together as a team and aim to ensure that we provide our children with every opportunity to enable them to reach their full potential and encourage, support them throughout their time with us.

I have been part of the team from November 2012, fresh from A-levels and have loved my experience working here. I am very interested in the health care profession and aspire to become a midwife in the future. The experience and skills I have obtained throughout my time in the nursery will aid me when I further my studying. Outside of work my hobbies include babysitting and playing the bagpipes in a competition band. I have an NVQ level 3 in Child care.

This year I will be in the nursery 20 years.

I have been working in The Old Station nursery since February 2011 when I started as a relief member of staff. I now work full time in the Pre-school room which I love. Over the last few years I have had the opportunity to step into an Acting Room Leader role which I have really enjoyed. I have also stepped into a deputy manager role this year to cover a maternity. Since starting the nursery I have gained my Level 2 and 3 in Child Care.

I started as a student in June 2007 then I became a permanent member of the tea soon after. I worked in after-school at the start and then when the nursery’s Junior playgroup opened I moved to the mobile to take up a position there. However, after having my own children I came back and decided I would like a change and am now working as the Room Leader in the Baby & Wobbler rooms. I have my NVQ Level 2 & 3 in Childcare and education.
I started in December 2018 and work in the Toddler room as Room Leader.
