I can't recommend this nursery enough! All the staff are incredibly nice, and the manager, is especially helpful, particularly with any issues related to free childcare. She is always accommodating and goes out of her way to assist.
My son is in the Waddler room and absolutely loves it, especially
the meals provided. The staff are so patient, attentive, and genuinely caring with all the children. A special shoutout to two staff members, who are assigned to my son and always go above and beyond to ensure he's well looked after. We couldn't be happier with our experience!

Since my child started nursery here in March 2023, she has come on leaps and bounds! She loves her time at nursery 4 days a week, has come out of her shell so much and loves playing with her friends. The girls always look after my child and support when needed in anything specific such as potty training.
I would always recommend this nursery to anyone!

My older son used to attend Space Station Day Nursery and now my younger is there as well. I think this says all, they are amazing with kids, very patient and flexible.
My kid's progress can be seen and as a parent could be happier with the experience. Myself and my Wife can rest assured that our
son is safe and happy there.

My son has attended Space Station since he was 4 months old and choosing this nursery was the best choice I could have made for him. His experience in every room has been exceptional. The key workers know my child very well and give key updates as to his progress and next steps including tips for things
to work on at home.
My son is developing above his age level and has built fantastic relationships with peers and staff. The communication is excellent, the curriculum is considered and implemented effectively and creatively so the children continually build new skills while enjoying themselves.
My son will be moving to preschool soon and though I am sad, I know that he is ready and the transition will be perfectly planned, as all others have been.
I could not recommend Space Station more and there would be no words to thank them for everything they have taught my son and the love and care they show daily.

My son has been going to Space Station since September 2023 and joined when he was just 11 months old so I could return to work. As most mothers, I felt really nervous leaving him at such a young age and with people I didn't know but the staff have really put my mind at ease. They have been so understanding
of my wants, needs, routine, etc and are all so friendly and approachable. The frequent updates via the app are really comforting and it's so nice to see what my son is doing throughout the day. I feel like the team genuinely cares about my son. My son absolutely loves going to nursery! His development has progressed so much and this is definitely due to the great staff, their curriculum and being around other children. I would highly recommend the nursery.

My little boy has been at Space Station since he was 9 months old he's now 3 and ready to move over to pre-school. I cannot rate the nursery highly enough the care and compassion from all staff throughout the years have been amazing, he's thrived and learnt so much, he's always happy to go and will

You just can't fault this nursery and I've heard different options. But when you have kids that attended here and are happy and comfortable with the staff, you know you made the right choice!
My daughter has attended this nursery since she was 1 year old! She adapted very quickly due to the staff's
kindness. They were always there to comfort her if she needed it. Thank you for all your support and care that you offer to our children.

I sent my baby to Space Station Nursery when he was 1 year and 4 months old. I was so worried at first as my baby had never been away from any of our family members, not even 1 minute. I was very worried if he could settle well at nursery, being away from us for the first time. The nursery staff are
well trained and experienced in handling this kind of situation. My baby did cry a bit in the beginning. He quickly settled in and has been enjoying his time at Space Station! Parents are always well-informed through the nursery app and phone calls. I get updates about what and how much my boy has eaten if he has had a nap or had a poop. Teachers often send updates with pictures about what the children have learned in the classroom.
Everyone at Space Station is so friendly and helpful. Highly recommend Space Station to any parents!

My son has been attending Space Station since January 2024. He was 9 months old when he started and settled in so well. When he started he couldn't crawl, or walk and was not the best eater. Since being at the nursery, he has developed so well and is now crawling, nearly walking and is a great eater!
His key worker provides regular reviews which is great to hear about his progress. I like the easy nature of the app and can get updates throughout the day on his eating, sleeping and movements. All the staff are friendly, give great advice and support him to develop. The secure nature of Space Station is one of the reasons I chose here and this has not disappointed me.

When it was time to go back to work I decided after viewing Space Station that it would be perfect for my daughter. As a first-time mum, I was very nervous about leaving my daughter, staff made me feel very at ease during the transition period, I was given updates and a detailed handover when picking
her up. Now 3/4 months on from starting my daughter has come on so much, the staff are absolutely brilliant with her and I can see she has created some really positive bonds! My daughter enjoys all the great activities/learning sessions they do and she is given a varied diet/new foods to try that she may have not tried at home! Best decision I ever made and can't thank the staff and management enough for how amazing they are with my daughter!

Leaving our son's nursery is bittersweet, but we couldn't be more grateful for the incredible experience he's had here. The staff at Space Station have been like family to us, providing a nurturing and stimulating environment that's helped our little one thrive. From the warm welcomes every morning
to the thoughtful activities and care throughout the day, we've been consistently impressed. The dedication and love shown by the staff have truly made a lasting impact on our son's development. While we're sad to say goodbye, we'll always cherish the wonderful memories created here. Thank you to the amazing team at Space Station for everything you've done for our family. He will definitely miss you all. You've earned every one of these five stars and more!

This is an outstanding nursery. my son has come along so much since he started here last year, the staff are so friendly and welcoming. Also, his key worker is amazing with him; they have formed a special bond, which is lovely to see. Overall, I would recommend this nursery to everyone; it really is

Lovely, friendly warm atmosphere, staff are very professional, my daughter needed lots of support from staff when going into nursery, when leaving Mum and Dad she got very upset, the staff were amazing with how to deal with her and as she attached to one member of staff the other girls always tried
to make that staff member available when my daughter was going into nursery to make the pass over as calmly as possible for my daughter... so thank you to management, nursery room girls and cook for making our girl lovely hot meals. My daughter will miss you all so so much. you are all superstars. Written from Mum and Dad.

Can’t fault this nursery one bit. My little girl has been going for a year now and started in the baby room where the staff are absolutely lovely. I was so nervous sending her to nursery as I’m a first-time mum and didn’t know what to expect but the ladies looked after her so well and were also there
to support me and Dad if we had any questions. They would encourage her so much to hit the milestones and even after being there for 2 weeks she had done so much. Now she’s in the waddler room and again, the girls are great with her. They’re so supportive in and out of the nursery. There have been times where I’ve mentioned I’ve been struggling with something particular like behaviour or eating and they have given me support in that specific area and given me different things to try and it’s been great. I have absolutely zero concerns sending my little one there and she absolutely loves it!

My little one has unfortunately picked up a few illnesses that have been going around so his time at the nursery has been a bit stop/start. However, the staff are excellent and friendly. This generates a warmth around the place which has helped him to settle in despite him having breaks from the nursery.
They all seem to have a genuine affection for all the babies which is nice to see. Updates and photos are put up on the app so you can see what your little one is up to.


Behind the scenes, it is well managed and you are always kept informed about what is going on and queries are handled quickly and efficiently. You are also kept informed of various schemes available which is very handy. As for the ratings: As my child is a baby, I don't know the Outside Space, Learning, Resource / Equipment / ICT but you are forced to give an answer.

Space Station was the best nursery for my little boy, he gained an amazing personality and learnt so much in just a few weeks of being there. He still asks to go to nursery in the mornings which shows just how much he loved it there. The staff were amazing and I would highly recommend to anyone who’s
looking for a safe place for childcare.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.942)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.942) out of 10 for Space Station Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 42 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 42 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 4.942 for Space Station Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (476 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 502 Ratings = 4.942
  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 Space Station Day Nursery is based on 42 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 70 number of registered child places is 14, which has been reached with 42 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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2017

Hi, I'm Kim, I am Level 4 qualified and I have 20+ 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 now for over 10 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 also 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 myself and my amazing team contribute to that is why I love what I do!
