Old Station Nursery Innsworth has been a brilliant setting for both my children. They go to nursery happy and excited for each day. My eldest who is now at school was confident and well prepared following her journey. My youngest who is still in pre-school loves it. The carers, his friends, and the
external agencies that come through the week at the contribute to a positive environment for him to enjoy and thank. Thank you to all the team.

This nursery is what I'll describe as exceptional. My daughter started when she was 1+ and now 4 yrs, over the years, I have seen her be herself, form friendship, learn and still keep learning. The staff, managers are amazing. They will make you feel at home like a small family. I have no complaints
and happy with all I've see with my daughter, friends etc. I worry not when I drop her knowing she will be okay. I will highly recommend. I feel they are reasonably priced as well compared with other nursery I checked at the beginning.
Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at The Old Station Nursery InnsworthWe are delighted to read how positive your experience has been over the years and the wonderful progress your daughter has made. It's lovely to know that the nurturing, family feel and reassurance you have when leaving her mean so much to you. Thank you so much for taking the time to recommend us.

My son has now been attending for 2 months in the baby room and is showing signs he is really comfortable with his environment. The confidence he has learnt from this setting has really helped with all aspects of his growth and learning. The staff always have time to properly debrief you at drop off
and pick up, which really help settle my mind that he's getting the attention he needs.
Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at The Old Station Nursery InnsworthWe are delighted to read how well your son is settling in the baby room and the confidence he is gaining. It's lovely to know that the detailed handovers at drop-off and pick-up give you such reassurance.

The Old Station Nursery Innsworth have been brilliant. My daughter started in February and I have been so impressed with the settle in sessions, and the phased start which I requested - they were so accommodating with making the transition best for our situation. My daughter is now 3 weeks in to her
4- day weeks and is so well cared for, is eating and sleeping well. The app they use is great to seeing what she's eaten and when/how long she's slept is so helpful.
Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at The Old Station Nursery InnsworthWe are delighted to read that your daughter has settled well following her start and that the phased sessions worked so well for your family.

Our son has been coming to this nursery since he was 8 months old, almost 4 years ago. We have seen such a change and have loved to see him grow, a huge part of that is because of the nursery. They have been outstanding and we couldn't be more grateful for everything they have done for him. We will
be very had to see the end of his nursery journey in Sept. A special thanks to his keyworker who has been nothing but amazing. Thank you for everything you do. You are all wonderful!

Oakley has been at Old Station Nursery for coming up to 2 years now and our experience has always been fantastic. Oakley has grown enormously in confidence, she has learned so many skills and the staff has been nothing short of fantastic. Communication and organisation is always great and I always day.
Lots of fun extra activities get planned and things like sporty stars and boogie boots are a real bonus.

My daughter has just transitioned from the toddler room to the pre school room and is thriving with the support she is given by the wonderful staff there. Every time we arrive I feel like the staff are genuinely excited and happy to see her and I know she is going to have a great day. And if she is
upset for whatever reason, the staff truly care and are patient and show understanding. Every parent wants their child to feel safe, settled and supported at nursery and this is exactly my experience.

Being a military family the upheaval of our little ones is always at the forefront of our lives. Our little one joined the baby room and settled in immediately, so taken by the kindness of the team and how they interact with her.
Our child also have food allergies and these are taken seriously and
excellent procedures are in place.
Having happy kids certainly makes for an easier life, and Innsworth Old station nursery sure makes that life easier.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.831)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.831) out of 10 for The Old Station Nursery Innsworth is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 39 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 39 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.831 for The Old Station Nursery Innsworth is calculated as follows: ( (395 Excellents x 5) + (68 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 468 Ratings = 4.831
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Old Station Nursery Innsworth is based on 39 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 94 number of registered child places is 18.8, which has been reached with 39 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
