The Old Station Nursery Alcester

The nursery is a good size with defined room areas per age group (baby, toddler and preschool), plus a really good outdoor learning area. The back office team in billing/finance are also incredibly helpful and responsive.

This nursery is absolutely wonderful, they really take the time to listen to my daughter and encourage her interests. For example, around Christmas time my daughter took an interest in the postal service. I was sent photos of her on the app and the practitioners had made her a satchel, found her some fancy dress items to make her into a postman for the day and she went around posting Christmas cards to all of her friends. Impromptu activities like this make this nursery so special. All the staff in the building know my daughter by name and pay an interest in her as we come and go daily. It feels like we are leaving her with family, we feel that she is safe and really cared for whilst she attends nursery and the fact that she asks to be dropped off every time we drive past confirms to us that she’s happy there!

Unfortunately, because of this I wouldn’t recommend Polkadots as a nursery to my friends and family.

My little girl has been attending Polkadot Alcester (the baby room) since January 2017 and in the time she has been there, she has developed so much. She absolutely loves going there and attends three full days a week. The staff are fantastic and have bonded with her really well. They do so many activities with the children, each day they do something different. There is lots of variety from water play, flour play, crafts, yogabugs, outside playtime etc. She loves being outside in the garden area. When I drop her off in the morning, I cannot get over how all of the little toddlers are sitting so nicely around the tables and eating their breakfast so well. They learn table manners from such a young age which is great. The nursery itself has great facilities, it's always clean and the staff are very helpful if you have any requests or queries. I can't speak highly enough of Polkadots and would highly recommend to anyone.

The staff are very caring and friendly. I would definitely recommend polkadots to a friend!

I am overall very happy with the care of my child at this nursery. The children do lots of activities and there is a lot of space inside. The only thing I have noticed recently is that there are some new assistants who do not seem as forthcoming with comments on what my child has done that day or how he has been. I have also noticed an increase in the number of children in the class which makes handover and the collection of coats/shoes a bit chaotic at midday.
