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.

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.

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.

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.
