My son has been coming here since he was one and he loves it here. He runs in happily and I get constant updates on my app. Would highly recommend this nursery to anyone who is thinking of sending their child here.

Train Station Day Nursery has been perfect for our daughter, they have made her feel very welcome the whole time that she has been attending. All the staff are very caring and supportive towards the children and families. Our little one has come on leaps and bounds since starting last January. We have
recommended this nursery to everyone we know as our experience has been amazing.

Review from Amy L (Mother of Child) published on 9 March 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter joined the nursery four days a week over extended hours just before she turned one. As a new parent, I was really nervous about this but was immediately put at ease by the staff.
My daughter started with a few settling-in mornings and then began nursery the following week.
Over the course
of the 7 weeks, I have seen my daughter's progress updated on the app. This will tell you exactly what she has eaten and drank and how much, her nappy changes and her sleep. The app is also updated with key information for the nursery along with pictures and the progress of your child.
I couldn’t recommend the nursery enough, when my daughter leaves for nursery in the mornings she is happy to go and she comes home with a beaming smile and I can tell she’s had lots of fun.
The staff at the nursery will go above and beyond to ensure not only your child is settled within the nursery but also check you are ok and send pictures and updates throughout those first few days.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Personally for me, as a mother, I feel that Train Station Day Nursery has gone above and beyond for my child. They've been able to accommodate her needs in a loving and caring way. Like any parent, naturally, you're protective. The staff has met my standards on safety and the best part is the app. It's
allowed for me as the mother to have peace of mind. A quick glance and I know she's fed, nappy changed. It's a good school hence why I'm willing to travel the distance for my child's early development. Best nursery ever in my humble opinion.

Friendly staff, our child is always happy to go in and greets all staff with excitement.
The environment which our child is in is brilliant. She is always on the go, playing with water dough, rice etc.
Eats all the food provided and loves it, in turn helps myself when preparing meals for her.

As a first-time and very nervous mum this nursery has put my mind at ease. My daughter is always excited to attend nursery and see her favourite practitioners. My daughter has progressed with her speech, problem-solving, sharing and eating since starting. All staff are friendly during drop off and the
app is very easy to use.

We have been with the nursery for 4 months. The staff are very welcoming and genuinely enthusiastic about their jobs and getting to know my child. They have created an environment in which she feels comfortable. They have been especially accommodating since she has been in a cast.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.851)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.851) out of 10 for Train Station Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 27 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 4.951 for Train Station Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (309 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 324 Ratings = 4.951
  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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Train Station Day Nursery is based on 27 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 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 150 number of registered child places is 30. 27 Positive Reviews ÷ 30 = 0.9
  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.
