Review from Rochelle G (Mother of Child) published on 18 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I cannot recommend this nursery enough. The staff are always so friendly, caring, and knowledgeable, and communication with parents is excellent I like that I can communicate via the app and check what she has eaten etc throughout the day. They are great at keeping in touch and management are always quick to respond and very supportive.
My daughter absolutely loves attending, settles so well, and is always excited to go in. She has a medical condition, and the nursery have been amazing with supporting her. They created a medical plan straight away met with me and reassured me that she could continue attending as normal, which gave me so much confidence and peace of mind.

It's lovely knowing she is in such safe and caring hands every day. And is excited to attend nursery! Thank you to all the wonderful staff for everything you do!

Overall Experience

Our daughter started nursery in January 2026 and the thought of leaving her was daunting however Space Station has helped us adjust to the transition really quickly well. The staff have been brilliant at listening to your needs and taking them into consideration when looking after our daughter. The App is great! Such a reassuring way to find out how our daughter is getting on every time she's in. You can tell the nursery and it's staff are well invested in ensuring the children in their care are well taken care of in all aspects - nutrition, growth and development, communication, social and emotional wellbeing.

Review from Gar-Yen C (Mother of Child) published on 12 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter attended SpaceStation since September 2025. She has moved up to Toddlers room from Waddlers. She recieved massive support from the girls and has achieved the majority of her milestones.

Initially, she did cry when we took her to nursey, but over time she has gained confidence and able to attend without any fuss. She has been well looked after by the staff and they are all very friendly and caring.

I am highly satisfied with the nursery and the team.

Overall Experience
My daughter has attended space station since September 2025. She is currently in the baby room and is soon moving up to the waddler room. She settled in straight away and now goes into nursery without a single tear! The staff in the baby room have been fantastic with her and I have been kept well informed about her day and progress.
She has come on leaps and bounds with all of her milestones since starting at Space Station and the staff genuinely care about the children.
My daughter has a milk allergy and she is well catered for, it really eases my mind to know she is eating well at nursery!

Kim is a fantastic is always happy to help with any queries.

Overall Experience

I highly recommend this nursery.

From the moment my daughter started at 10 months old, the staff have been incredibly supportive. She is dairy-free, and the cook and room staff make sure her meals are always catered for. She also requires prescribed medication, which her key workers administers. Since starting here, her confidence talking, walking and social relationships has grown in leaps and bounds.


I'm truly grateful to all the staff, she absolutely loves it here.

Review from Lynsey C (Mother of Child) published on 5 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending space station for around 18mths and in that time, their contribution to her care and learning journey have been nothing but positive.

Staff at space station are caring and supportive to my daughters needs. They are friendly but professional and show a true engagement in caring, which has been seen through the relationships my daughter has built with staff. Any concerns raised and expressed, specific suggestions are made to offer support to my daughter and us as parents. During drop off's and pick-up's staff are observed unaware, seen interacting will all children positively and encouraging those who may need additional support.

All staff present a familiar caring aspect and make the service they provide personal to you and your child.

I'm extremely thankful we chose space station for my daughters childcare, managing parental guilt is hard but I can honestly say, space station have eased this, as I know my child's safe, happy and developing with them.

Review from Chelsea P (Mother of Child) published on 26 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We've had such a positive experience with this nursery. My little girl currently attends, and my son attended five years ago as well. She absolutely loves going every day, which is so reassuring as a parent.

I receive regular updates through the app, which keeps me informed and involved in what she's doing throughout the day.

I looked at several other nurseries before making a decision, but I kept coming back to Space Station. It just felt right for us - and I'm so glad I trusted my instinct again. We couldn't be happier with our choice.

In her time at spacestation she has come on leaps and bounds thanks to all the staff at space station the staff and managers are brilliant with the kids and put so much time and effort into the children to make sure there well looked after comfortable.

Review from Charlotte G (Mother of Child) published on 20 October 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have been taking my children to Space Station since July 2022. I absolutely love this nursery! All staff are incredible and say hello to my children using their name whether they are in that room or not. Food is fantastic (I see a lot of All+ on my app!) and both children have been so happy attending. One child practically runs in saying hello to everyone he sees and one child has now started school incredibly confident and bright and has a lovely friendship group already since starting 4 weeks ago. I'll be sad when the time comes that I won't be using this nursery anymore but will look back with fond memories and will always continue to recommend. Space Station you are amazing!

I appreciate the staff at space station day nursery for the care and support they provided to my kids. From the first time we viewed space station we could tell the staff really want to make a difference. My kids confidence and literacy skills have improved significantly. The staff updates you about everything on the famly app and face to face. If anyone is considering sending their little one to space station go ahead, It's definitely a great choice. I can't fault space station at all.

Review from K T (Mother of Child) published on 18 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son started in January and within 2 weeks of going he would run in with a big smile! as a parent, I couldn't be more pleased with the care and attention he receives each day. The staff are kind, patient, and they really take the time to get to know each child and support their needs. My son needed comforters each day (usually he's teddys) this was never an issue with staff encouraging anything that made him feel more settled. Also starting, I've seen such a boost in my son's confidence, social development and mostly he's language skills that he was struggling with when starting, he came on so much since being at space station. I found the communication excellent. I always felt informed and reassured, you can simply message the room your child is in and they reply very fast! The environment is warm, safe, and well-organised, and my son is always excited to go in and happy when I pick him up.

I'm so grateful for the wonderful start they're giving him. I truly can't recommend enough!

Kim Dewar Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2017
Kim Dewar

Hi, I'm Kim. I am Level 4 qualified, and I have 25+ years of experience in Early Years. I have worked in various roles throughout my career as a Nursery Assistant, Room Leader and Deputy Manager. I have been in a management position for over 13 years. I have been with Space Station since we opened our doors in July 2017, and I've really enjoyed building my team and nursery over that time and seeing us go from strength to strength. I also have other roles within the nursery as Safeguarding Lead and Lead SENCO, so I oversee the support of our children with additional needs. The thing I love most about my job is that no 2 days are ever the same, and being around children, they always give you a reason to smile. Early Years are important years for any child, and knowing that my amazing team contribute to that is why I love what I do!
