Overall Experience
I can't express enough how happy I am with this nursery. The dedication, professionalism, and genuine care shown by the staff towards our children's learning and development is truly outstanding.
What has impressed me most is how seriously they take their responsibility in helping each child grow, learn, and reach their full potential. The nurturing environment they create is clear to see, and it gives parents real confidence that their children are being supported every step of the way.

A special thank you to Tom, my child's key worker. His positive attitude, patience, and commitment to building a meaningful relationship with my child has made such a difference. He has taken the time to understand my child as an individual, helping him feel safe, secure, and valued. Because of this, leaving him at nursery has become so much easier, and I know he looks forward to his days there.

Overall Experience
Amazing staff team who are very dedicated and hardworking.
It's great to see how my daughters came out with a lot of potentials and skills.
My little girls started the nursery when they can't even speak and now am very proud of their confidence and interactive skills. They are always asking me one million and one questions about everything, always willing to learn.
They correct my spoken English in the midst of conversations.
That really make me appreciative and thankful to all the staff team for their professionalism, hardwork, dedication and commitment.
Thank you so very much and will forever be grateful for all your hardwork.

We are going to miss you all.

Overall Experience

We have found our experience of Train Station Nursery to be a very positive one. The staff have all been kind, caring and reassuring. They put the effort in and took the time to get to know my child and help them settle into the room and have even checked in when my child was off sick. The updates through photos and messages and the regular app updates have all been very reassuring and its been good to keep up to date with what activities they have done through the week and we enjoy bringing our childs arts and crafts home too. We have also enjoyed getting involved in the stay and play sessions. Communication with management has also been very easy and we appreciated the meeting with our child's key worker for an update on progress too.

Reply from Danielle Aitken, Nursery Manager at Train Station Day Nursery

Thank you for your wonderful fedback! We're delighted to know that you're enjoying the resources and the app we provide for our children's learning.

Overall Experience

I just want to say a big thank you to the manager for making the whole process in terms of registering my second child in to this nursery. As busy parents the whole process can be time consuming and worrying. However the manager was excellent in time management and communication skills in terms of registration, setting up the app and informing us if the days requested was available. I know many nurseries work on a first come first served basis regardless of if they have your deposit or not (a well known nursery), so thank you for making what could be such a stressful event so smooth and refreshing!

Review from S S (Mother of Child) published on 12 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little one has recently transitioned in to the preschool room. I am impressed with how smooth it went and the communication received from the staff within that room. The room leader messaged on the parents app asking about sleep patterns which was great as it shown they like to ensure they know each child's individual needs. They were also very proactive regarding potty training. Thank you for your continued care towards my little one.

Reply from Danielle Aitken, Nursery Manager at Train Station Day Nursery

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you had a positive experience with the transition to the next room and that our practitioners have been so helpful. Your feedback means a lot to us!

Review from L S (Mother of Child) published on 25 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

While there were positive aspects to the nursery and most staff were warm and caring, we experienced ongoing difficulties with the approach of one particular practitioner toward our child. Feedback from this individual was consistently negative and did not reflect an age-appropriate understanding of toddler behaviour. Over time, this pattern became increasingly concerning for us and significantly affected our confidence in the care our child was receiving.

After a mealtime incident, we were informed by another member of staff that they had shouted at our child. What caused greater concern was that the staff member directly involved openly chose not speak to us at all that day (for reasons unknown), and communication was left to another practitioner. As a parent, this felt inappropriate and unprofessional.

In the weeks following this, our child exhibited ongoing signs of distress that were out of character for her,

Management response felt informal and the trust had gone

Reply from Julie Shepley, Senior Management at Train Station Day Nursery
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are very sorry to hear about your experience and the distress this caused you and your child. Ensuring children feel safe, supported, and understood is central to our values, and we regret that this was not your experience.

Absolutely amazing nursery with fantastic staff! Each member of staff has been brilliant with my daughter these last two years. They have been patient, friendly, and helped to develop her to the wonderful little person she is today.
The nursery itself is a wonderful building with the rooms clearly tailored to the age ranges.

Train station is a wonderful place and I will miss sending my daughter here.

Have to say my little girls graduation was the cutest thing ever!

Could not be more thankful for everyone at Train Station Day Nursery for everything they have done over the years! My daughter loved it, she's flourished & made some friends for life! But also built some incredible bonds with the staff too, who are all just amazing & take the time just to even ask how you are & interest in life outside of nursery!

Graduation itself the staff have gone above and beyond, the songs were so cute! All the decorations & activities & there little leaving bags'
Just cannot thank everyone enough, don't get enough credit for how amazing you all are & have been throughout her time at Train Station. It's never easy leaving your child, but knowing she's so happy & looked after makes it so much easier.
The staff are always reassuring & keep you updated. They notice the little changes & celebrate all the milestones with you.
Also to two members of staff for helping make the flexible days work so wel!

Thankyou!

All three of my children have/are attending train station since 2020, never had any issues.
Always great communication from staff, and not to mention the support from staff as a friend rather than "just a child's parent"

I can go to work and know my children are in safe hands, thank you to the wonderful staff at Train Station!

Overall Experience

Our son has been attending Train Station since November 2024 and we have been blown away by the nursery and all the staff from the moment we stepped foot in there. Staff cannot do enough for you and really seem to care about the children they look after. Communication is amazing and the atmosphere is always positive! Our son's confidence and speech has come on so much in such a short amount of time and we 100% feel that this is because of the nursery and the staff in his room. Thank you so much to everyone involved for making us feel so comfortable leaving our child in your setting and for everything you do! 100% recommend your nursery.

Overall Experience

My child has been attending Train Station for several months now. I was able to get my child in on short notice and staff have been incredibly helpful and supportive with their transition. The staff in my child's room are wonderful, not only do I feel safe to come to them with any questions or concerns, but I also feel comfortable enough to enjoy a conversation and share a laugh with them! So far, I couldn't recommend this place enough, my child is happy, thriving and I'm enjoying watching their confidence grow day by day! There has been so much growth in all areas of development, talking, independence and social skills, in such a short amount of time! Thank you team, for your hard work and dedication!
