The Old Station Day Care Nursery & Pre-school is located in the charming, characteristic train station in Dromore. The spacious rooms with high ceilings are well resourced and equipped to create a fun and stimulating learning environment.
The nursery is within walking distance of Dromore town centre and is very accessible to the A1 carriageway, making the commute to work a little easier.
Since opening in 2000, the nursery has grown from strength to strength. It now offers a Junior playgroup, funded pre-school education (Senior Playgroup), and an After-School/summer club based in Dromore Bowling Pavilion.
The emphasis is on offering a warm, welcoming environment, with a focus on providing excellent-quality childcare and education. The nursery's ethos is “to create a nurturing, inclusive environment in partnership with parents, where each child can reach their full potential in an environment which is safe, secure, happy, healthy and stimulating".
The Old Station recognises that parents may find it difficult to choose the most appropriate childcare provision to suit their family's needs. The nursery acknowledges that every child’s needs are different, and the team caters to those individual needs.
Excellent staff-to-child ratios, attentive and caring staff, and high standards across all areas of the nursery help parents leave their children feeling happy and content with the care they receive.

My little boy has been attending The Old Station since April 2017. He really enjoys his time there. Activities are varied and staff are well-trained and professional. 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.

Her little stories she tells me about when she comes home and about how much fun she has had. The girls that work there are just fantastic, we couldn’t have picked a better nursery than The Old Station Day Care Nursery to let my daughter grow up in.

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. The younger one has been there since he was 8 months in the baby room and now into toddlers and the older one has moved through several stages (Junior Play Group through to After School) which has given us an insight into all aspects of what The Old Station has...
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".
I am always assured my girls are well looked after and have fun while I'm at work.

The staff are all very friendly and make you feel very welcome. My child settled in well with the help of all the staff. There are lots of activities done and I feel my child has come on well from attending this nursery.

My husband and I visited a few nurseries in the area when we were considering childcare options for our little girl. We loved the warm and homely atmosphere at The Old Station, especially the delicious smell of food cooking as soon as we walked in! From the first day our daughter was welcomed into...

I have thoroughly enjoyed watching her develop through the My Nursery Pal app and website. We are always given a thorough feedback about her day including details about what and how much she has eaten, what times her nappy was changed, her sleeping times as well as her activities during the day with daily photos. This is always reassuring. When I collect her, she is always busy playing and always looks happy and excited.
A highly recommended nursery with professional, friendly and approachable staff.

You can log on daily and review your child's day/activities - I love seeing the daily updates and photos of him playing.

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 have been part of The Old Station team since 2004 and, over the years, have gained experience working across all areas of the nursery. In 2018, I became Nursery Manager and I also lead our Senior Playgroup.
I also love getting involved in baking, crafts and messy play with the children – it gives me the perfect excuse to be a big kid every day! More importantly, these activities provide so many opportunities for children to explore, be creative, build confidence and develop new skills while having lots of fun.
One of the most rewarding parts of my role is supporting children with their behaviour and emotional development. I enjoy finding positive ways to help children understand and manage their emotions, build confidence and develop the skills they need to make positive choices. It is incredibly rewarding to see the progress they make overtime.

The Old Station has been a huge part of my life since I was eight years old, when my mum first opened the nursery. After completing my degree in Business, I knew I wanted to bring my skills and knowledge into our family business, and in 2017 I joined the team as Office Administrator. Wanting to develop my understanding of childcare as well as the management side of the nursery, I went on to complete my Level 3 qualification in Childcare, followed by my Level 5 in Management. I am now proud to manage The Old Station alongside my sister, Claire. Being part of a family-run nursery means so much to us. We share a genuine passion for creating a happy, nurturing environment where children feel secure, confident and able to thrive. Seeing the children grow and flourish during their time with us is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do.

I have been part of The Old Station team since 2004, when I first joined the Pre-School room, and I have loved being part of the nursery’s journey ever since. I hold a CACHE Diploma in Childcare and have continued to develop my knowledge and skills, completing my Level 5 qualification in Management as part of my progression to Deputy Manager.
As Deputy Manager, I love that I can still work within the rooms and be actively involved with the children. Building relationships with the children and their families is such an important part of my role, and I enjoy being able to watch the children grow in confidence and independence throughout their time with us.
Having worked at The Old Station for so many years, I have seen the nursery grow and develop while still maintaining the warm, welcoming and homely environment that makes it so special. I enjoy supporting the staff team and sharing my experience, while still getting involved in the day-to-day fun of nursery life. For me, the most rewarding part of my job is seeing happy, confident children enjoying their time at nursery and knowing that we have played a part in helping them learn, develop and prepare for their next steps.

I joined The Old Station team in 2022 as a Playgroup Assistant and soon progressed to become Deputy Manager, joining the nursery’s management team. As The Old Station continued to grow, our After School provision moved to a new location, giving me the exciting opportunity to take on the role of After School Manager. With a degree in Early Years, I have a strong knowledge and understanding of children’s development and am passionate about using my experience to create a happy, nurturing and engaging environment. I really enjoy being part of The Old Station team and supporting the children in our care to learn, grow and thrive.
