Since Lo started in January 2026 we have not had anything but positive experiences. The team are so supportive, dropping my Lo off on day one I sobbed, they were so thoughtful and caring. Any queries and questions are met with open ears, if they don't have answers they always find the answer by pick up. The app is so easy to use.
Highly recommend this nursery! 5*

The nursery has been very accomodating. Both our little ones really enjoy coming here, they have been especially great with the youngest (1 1/2 when joined) in helping him settle in, and make sure we were comfortable too along the way. Only criticism I have is that there are things that are overlooked or not perhaps communicated properly. I've asked for the app to be looked into since September as I only get access to one child and its promised to be fixed and still isn't.
↩Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at The Old Station Nursery Montessori Maidstone
We are delighted to read how much both of your children enjoy their time at our nursery and that your youngest was so well supported in settling in. We're sorry to hear about the ongoing issue with the app, and we understand how important it is for staying connected to your child's day. Please bear with us while this is being resolved.

My daughter has been going here for around a year now and she always looks forward to going in. She has learnt many important things, such as how to share and how to interact with other children. She enjoys the variety of daily activities and the interactive learning. I choose this nursery, because of the good things i heard about it from other parents. The facility is secure, which gives peace of mind.
If i had to find any negative for me personally, it would be the recording of how much my daughter eats at meal times. On the application, it will often say (ate all), but i am told differently when i pick my daughter up, so i can be unsure of her food intake. Otherwise, my wife and i are very happy to have our daughter coming here.

We are delighted to read how much your daughter enjoys attending our nursery and the progress she is making with her learning and social development.
