The Old Station Nursery Bromsgrove is a purpose-built childcare setting located in Worcestershire, providing a secure and nurturing environment for children to thrive and build a strong foundation for their future. The nursery offers exceptional care, enriched by unique learning opportunities for your child. One such experience is child-friendly cooking classes, helping to equip children with valuable skills and deeper knowledge of the cooking process.

The nursery boasts a 'home-from-home' atmosphere and offers plenty of opportunities for children to grow and develop into independent learners. The nursery is composed of four spacious rooms, each thoughtfully designed to cater to the needs of children at different developmental stages, equipped with age-appropriate resources that encourage them to take charge of their learning and development.

The 'Little Dreamers' room is tailored for infants aged around 0-6 months and offers a variety of sensory experiences with different textured equipment that promotes exploration and investigation of their surroundings. The 'Discoverers Room' is for babies aged around 6-12 months, where they continue to be encouraged to be independent and learn their first words while playing and communicating with their peers. The 'Explorers' room is where children aged around 1-2 years old start building friendships and learn essential skills such as letters, numbers, and colours.

The Pre-School room is for children aged around 2-4 years to engage in various areas of learning, such as messy play, physical education, construction skills, mathematics, and sensory play. The room also focuses on preparing children for their next stage of learning at 'big school' and works with families to ensure each child is confident and ready for this crucial milestone.

My First Friends Bromsgrove has been outstanding! Our child has been genuinely cared for and supported, he adores the staff team and they have done so much to support his early education. He is due to start school soon and we will all miss them - I would highly highly recommend this nursery.


The

team are so kind and caring, they set up wonderful activities and provide a fabulously warm and nurturing environment. They have set our child up to start school from a really strong start point and have helped to make his early years really special.
Five stars!

I couldn’t have picked a better nursery to send my son to. It honestly feels like a little family, the staff are so easy to talk to and provide a safe, friendly, comfortable environment for not only the children but the parents too! They're exceptional! Thank you to everyone! I would 100% recommend.

Best choice we made for our little girl. All the staff are lovely and couldn’t be more helpful. The nursery has great facilities and I love being able to use the app to see what my baby girl has been up to and also can see pictures and personalised observations of her day. Being a lockdown baby, so
unable to socialise with anyone, it was hard for her to be around so many people all of the sudden, but I can see a lot of changes in her now and she is so comfortable and confident with the staff and friends.

My little boy has attended My First Friends since he was 9 months old (now 3 and a half years) the staff have all been fantastic offering top-notch care. We have never been worried to leave him as he has always had a fantastic time and has been very happy here. I am currently pregnant with his little
sibling and will also be sending them here too when the time comes. We loved the fact it’s all-inclusive which really helped us especially in the early days when you're both busy working parents.

My daughter started at the nursery just before the lockdown hit. When she re-attended after the lockdown restrictions were lifted the staff were absolutely amazing. They made sure the kids were thoroughly looked after. The teaching was excellent. My daughter has always returned from nursery happy with
her day. I can not recommend this nursery enough. Staff have always communicated very well with me about my daughter's care.

Our daughter and son have been attending for over a year now and both are happy and settled. Very friendly and attentive staff who deal with any queries quickly and have great communication. Good balance of learning and play, I especially like the amount of outdoor time and activities that they both
are given.

Review from Bhavini R (Mother of Child) published on 5 November 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I've seen a vast improvement in my son's confidence, movement and his comprehension since joining the nursery. The staff are absolutely wonderful and seem to love what they do. Every day he is greeted with happiness and positivity at the door, no matter who opens the door and he is returned to me, full
of smiles. They have an app which the staff use to update me with his food, sleep, milk, observations etc and this has been a godsend. If I'm concerned, I can email or call them and they usually respond pretty quickly or they will update the app to show me he's OK. The staff are very friendly and approachable. They go out of their way to put me at ease, especially when my son has had a bad night. They have been brilliant at getting him into a routine. Day time naps were one of my biggest worries but they are not an issue any more. Their outdoor play area is great and I love how they have so many events and activities too. Every day he's making or learning something new and I see him developing because of it.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I highly recommend this nursery! My little girl started when she was 9 months old and I was so worried about leaving her. But the staff immediately put me at ease when I went to look around. They are all really knowledgable and friendly, and are always there at any time to answer any questions I may
have or even to just give me an update on how my daughter has been during the day!
Since starting nursery, my daughter has become really confident and interactive. She does different activities every day she's there and is also fed a variety of freshly cooked food. The app is amazing, I can see what activities she is doing during the day, what she is eating, her sleep, and also see photos! I'm so happy I chose My First Friends!! Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A fantastic nursery, from my son's first day they put me at ease with leaving him there. The wonderful relationship he has built with the staff, pure excitement when he sees them, is proof of the care and attention they give my son. He gets to do so many fun activities and share the experience with
his friends, which has helped him progress so much in all aspects of his development. I find the app they use really good, as I get to see how my son is doing each day, seeing what activities he has done, what he has eaten and how much he as slept, and if you have any questions the staff are always there to talk to whether it be during the day on the phone or face to face when handing over your child. I would highly recommend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been at the nursery since 2017 when I reluctantly returned to work full time. From the first day of leaving her the staff put me at ease, assuring me that she would be fine. Three years later I still have the same view that when I leave my daughter, she is comfortable with the staff
and that her best interest is the most important thing. Quite often she doesn't want to leave, particularly when playing in the garden. The nursery is very clean, the staff are approachable and all my daughter's medical needs and behavioural needs were addressed how and when I requested. A fantastic place where my daughter has learnt many life skills and made plenty of mess that I haven't had to clean up!

Being the first time I have had to use a nursery for one of my children and being just a little baby, I have been pleasantly surprised with how quickly she has settled into nursery life! Her key worker has really taken on board all of her little quirks that comfort her as well as following her routine.

My oldest child attended the pre-school at My First Friends Bromsgrove and developed so much confidence in the 12 months she attended. It was fantastic preparation for starting school. Now my little one is in the nursery and she has a smile for the staff at the start of each day, which is lovely to
see. I've found all the staff to be friendly and particularly like seeing the regular updates on the app about what the kids have been up to.

My son started to go to My First Friends when he was 20 months. We have tried another Nursery but after 1 month of constantly crying, we decided to change him to My First Friends. He settled so quickly that I couldn’t believe. The staff was very attentive with him (and I) and made him feel comfortable
very rapidly.
He became another child and he is more confident and sociable.

We chose this nursery as the staff all seemed caring and friendly, and the children all seemed happy to be there. The rooms were also clean and well maintained and the outside space is perfect for children of all ages. Our son has settled in really well and he enjoys his 2 days a week there. I also
love being able to see what he's been doing during the day on the app, and the regular updates have made my return to work much less stressful. I couldn't recommend this nursery enough!

Our baby loves her time at nursery, really connects with all the carers and comes home exhausted. Our favourite part of her going to My First Friends is that they constantly update us with how her day is going through the app and send pictures throughout the day. All of the carers are friendly, caring
and informative. The safeguarding is very thorough and always tell us any issues she has had. We really trust the nursery and love sending our baby here.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.711)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.711) out of 10 for The Old Station Nursery Bromsgrove is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.711 for The Old Station Nursery Bromsgrove is calculated as follows: ( (232 Excellents x 5) + (43 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 287 Ratings = 4.711
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Old Station Nursery Bromsgrove is based on 23 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 60 number of registered child places is 12, which has been reached with 23 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
