  • The Old Station Nursery Bromsgrove, Bromsgrove
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.

This is a wonderful place where children are encouraged to learn and develop essential skills. My daughter adores the staff and has been allowed to explore many different types of activities.
I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery to anybody.

My son loves going to nursery. My First Friends is lovely. Staff are all nice, friendly and really look after the children. They know all their names even if not in their particular room. Never had any issues.

Review from Rebecca K (Mother of Child) published on 18 April 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am very happy with the nursery in Bromsgrove. My youngest child, who is nearly 3, has been there since he was 9 months old and he is thriving. He is very settled at nursery and often talks to me about the staff with fondness when he is away from there. The staff are super friendly and attentive. The
nursery is immaculate in a newly-converted building. The low numbers in the individual rooms make the setting feel intimate, like a family and my little boy has made many friends there. Nothing is too much trouble and the nursery staff are very accommodating. 5 stars *****

Nursery is very good. Staff are friendly and know each child well. It is handy to walk to and has parking available for drop offs / pick ups. My son moved there aged three and went straight into pre-school. He is developing well.


I wish the outside area was bigger but local trips to the park give

them more space to run around.

Review from Kelly DSC (Mother of Child) published on 5 April 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my husband and I are really happy with My First Friends Bromsgrove. My twin girls started nursery a little younger than I'd planned so I was particularly anxious but the nursery staff did everything to alleviate my worries. My girls are happy to see their carers in the mornings when they arrive
and are very content when we collect them in the evenings. We have been happy with all the staff and they have worked out our girls personalities very quickly. The nursery have gone out of their way to make a lovely space for the girls and lots of interaction for them.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter is extremely happy at My First Friends Bromsgrove. The room she is in has brilliant resources including both toys and technology. The staff are very caring; they really quickly got to know my daughter, perhaps due to the relatively small number of children in the room. Each day seems to
be well-structured and no matter what time of day I collect my daughter, the children seem to always be engaged in the many, varied activities which are available. I would have no hesitation at all in recommending MFF to others.

My First Friends Day Nursery have made my little girl feel very welcome. My daughters confidence has blossomed since attending the nursery. The carers will go to any level to make sure all the children are well looked after and happy. The nursery is very tidy and clean. Me and my husband would highly
recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My First Friends Nursery in Bromsgrove is an incredible thriving environment where my child is cared for in a friendly, warm, stimulating and safe setting. My daughter has been attending since the nursery first opened in November and she absolutely adores it. The manager is completely on the ball, all
staff take the time to get to know your child, invest time in their individual needs and are always focused on learning through play. The nursery itself is a brand new refurbished setting with everything new and fresh. The rooms are incredibly spacious and well laid out with the most creative toys and activities. The whole setting is simply outstanding and I am thrilled my daughter is thriving and getting prepared for her big move to a primary school setting.

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.
