Review from Sophie E (Mother of Child) published on 30 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been attending here since February and he is thriving. The wonderful staff in the baby room have helped him settle in and also made us, as parents, feel comfortable leaving our son with them. He always comes home a happy boy. We have noticed how his independence has flourished since attending OSN. I would recommend this nursery to anyone who like me, was anxious leaving their child somewhere for the first time, as the baby room staff made me feel comfortable, and will happily take a phone call if you need reassurance your child has settled in. My son is doing really well and seems to have built some lovely relationships with the practitioners and opens his arms to them now at drop off in the morning, which as his Mom, makes me very comfortable. The staff have clearly worked with him to build these positive relationships and make him feel safe and happy at Nursery.

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at The Old Station Nursery Alcester
Thank you for your kind and thoughtful review, Sophie. It really means a lot to us to hear how well your son has settled in since joining us in February.

We understand how emotional and daunting it can feel leaving your child for the first time, so we're especially pleased to know that our baby...

Overall Experience

My daughter has been at OSN for about a year across 2 different rooms. All the staff we've met have been lovely and clearly very invested in the children's development. She tries out new things and nursery and we love the outside space available. The frequency of communication via the app has improved over the last year too.

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at The Old Station Nursery Alcester

We are delighted to read that your daughter has enjoyed her time across the different rooms at our nursery, is trying new things, and is benefiting from the outdoor space. The team will be pleased to know that the communication through the app has improved and is a valued part of your experience.

Review from Lakeshia W (Mother of Child) published on 12 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I couldn't recommend old station nursery Alcester more! My son has flourished since being here. He loves going in to nursery and is always talking about his day, his friends and the staff at home. He is learning so much and it's wonderful to see how they encourage his personality to shine. The staff are great and communicate very well, and I get good quality updates into his development, areas of focus and all the fun things he gets up to during the day. We have had a great experience with the team at Alcester.

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at The Old Station Nursery Alcester

It is wonderful to read how much your son enjoys his days with us and how confidently he is growing, learning, and forming friendships. We are delighted that you feel well-supported through our communication and updates. Keeping you connected to his progress is really important to us.

Review from N K (Father of Child) published on 28 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I've had two children attend the nursery-one has now left and one still attends. The room staff are lovely: very friendly, knowledgeable, and excellent with the children.
The manager, however, is very difficult to deal with. She seems to have limited people skills and struggles to handle different types of personalities. It often feels like there is one rule for her and another for the staff.
I also find the nursery's safeguarding policy far too relaxed. Anyone can let someone into the building, which is very concerning. This responsibility is pushed onto parents rather than being properly managed by the nursery. There are many measures that could be put in place, yet on a daily basis I see parents letting me in-and I could be anyone. This is a management issue, not a staff issue.
There have also been times when there are more agency staff than regular staff, and the handovers in these situations are often very poor.

The nursery also dictates when you can spend your own funding.

Overall Experience

Since our daughter started this year at 12 months old, we have been so amazed at how well she has settled in. The atmosphere the baby room staff create is second family, always so warm, welcoming, kind and understanding. It has been a joy to watch our daughter flourish, enjoying social aspects of nursery along with growth in her development. The environment, staff, atmosphere and resources allow this growth and support both her learning and independence.

Overall Experience

We are really happy with the care, support and learning our children receive. Having grown up through each of the rooms our eldest has loved each stage of their journey. Our youngest had loved each stage of their journey. Our youngest has just moved up from the babies room into the toddlers room and is already progressing. The staff are friendly, supportive and take a genuine interest in our children's lives.

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at The Old Station Nursery Alcester

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We're so glad to hear that both of your children have had such positive experiences with us. It's heartwarming to know that your eldest has enjoyed each stage of their journey and that your youngest is already progressing in the toddler room.

We could not be happier with the care and education our daughter receives at The Old Station Nursery Alcester. The staff are wonderful and have built a fantastic relationship with all of our family. The activities provided are fun and educational. Communications from the leadership team are always really helpful and the app is great at keeping us informed on a daily basis. Thank you to all the staff.

My eldest started in the baby room here and has just left the pre-school to start school, and my youngest is now in the toddler room having also started in babies at 9 months. They have always been greeted with care and enthusiasm by all the staff and are always happy to run in and see their friends.

My child has flourished at this setting. She has grown in confidence and made lots of friends. My daughter always speaks with enthusiastic positivity about her days in this setting and has formed great bonds with her peers and the staff. Special mention to her key worker who is excellent but all staff continually and consistently go above and beyond our expectations. Thank you, we wouldn't want to send our child anywhere else.

The day-to-day care at the nursery is excellent - the staff are all kind, caring and knowledgeable and really try to make each day fun and engaging. The one thing that really lets the nursery down is poor communication with parents.

Highly recommend. Moved our son here, and the staff have done absolutely amazingly helping him settle in and to make new friends, especially one member of staff. We couldn’t ask for more. It’s lovely being able to just go in and see him playing on the collection and how easy the staff are to talk to. The pictures in the app and feedback about his day are very appreciated.

My child is well looked after by the staff at the nursery and you can see how caring they are. The staff know my child’s keen interests and this is reflected in the activities I see they have done through the updates received. My child is always excited when it’s a nursery day and the bond the staff and my child have is fantastic to see and really reassuring as a parent.

Review from Louise T (Mother of Child) published on 21 July 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has been attending this nursery since he was 2 (previously Polkadots) now four and leaving for school in September. I have never had any concerns about the care he has received, what he learns and what he gets up to on the day. Meals that are served are healthy and sound delicious. He almost always eats it all.
The staff are fantastic and turnover is so low which means there is consistency for your child. If/when I have another I will no doubt be signing them up for a place at the nursery.

Admin and billing was a little rocky especially when they changed hands as new billing system but you can overlook this when you know your child is receiving such good care. Highly recommended.
