Amazing Nursery and amazing people creating it. My child only started nursery when he was nearly 2 years old, very shy mummy's boy. Nursery staff helped my son build his confidence in so many ways.
Leaving our most precious treasure - our son in Train Station Nursery I can be sure he will be wonderfully
cared for.

Both my children attended Train Station Day Nursery and both adored going. Their confidence grew so much because of the activities that they did that involved playtime, crafts, reading and football which they both particularly loved. They made some lovely friends and I can't fault any of the staff,
they are all amazing. My son was completely ready for school when he left and my daughter is due to start in September which she is ready for thanks to nursery but she will really miss going every day. I would highly recommend the nursery and the staff do everything to build the trust required to leave our children in a safe and fun environment.

Amazing nursery. Cleanest one I've visited, friendly professional staff and brilliant routines for the children. Great security system verified with fingerprint technology which ensures that only the correct people can enter which is very reassuring. Fun activities for the children suitable for their
ages. My son really enjoys it. The staff have worked hard with him to help him overcome separation and social anxiety and have done this successfully. 5-star nursery!

Absolutely brilliant nursery. The staff are excellent. They try their best to accommodate all of your child's needs. They make sure each child is treated as an individual. My son loves getting up to go to nursery. They always have interesting activities going on and visits from the children's favourite
super heroes or Disney characters. I would recommend this nursery all day long.

There isn't enough characters to fill in how impressed I've been with everybody involved at the nursery. My little boy was quite nervous with separation anxiety and from starting there to now not wanting to come home when I pick him up is amazing...he can count to 30, almost write his name and a proper
social butterfly. It's a really lovely nursery with amazing staff you make sure you have the time needed to go over anything 'little one' related! I have and will recommend this nursery to all my mummy friends :-)

I never thought I would trust a nursery to look after my son because of his health problems but the staff are so helpful and friendly and really make me feel comfortable leaving him in a morning and knowing he will be safe, cared for and extremely happy when I pick him up.

Review from Becki (Mother of Child) published on 9 September 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff at Train are great. My little girl loves Nursery and would stay there all the time if she could. Her key worker and Room manager over the past 9 months have been amazing. They have both made what was a difficult time leaving my baby a lot easier. Management are professional and approachable
and more than understanding re my crazy shifts. I couldn't really ask for more. On a daily basis the activities vary recently my daughter loved 'beach day', meeting Minnie, messy play in many forms. Everyday I always fer a full breakdown of what she been doing/eating etc that day something I know my friends at other places don't get In as much detail. Very happy with Train and look forward to future years watching even more development and happy times x

This nursery is brilliant. The staff are so pleasant. I was really worried about my son settling in as he gets quite anxious at being left but after only 2 settling in sessions he is starting 2 full days. The security really is of a high standard. I couldn't really rate this nursery any lower than
a 5 star.

I was unsure about putting my son in nursery but the staff are brilliant and I'm glad I chose Train Station. The facilities are excellent and the staff are second to none. My son came on in leaps and bounds, both in confidence and development during his time here and it was with both joy and sadness
that he graduated this year. Thankyou everyone at Train Station for the hard work and commitment you put in.

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.
