Really happy with the care at Space Station Day Nursery
Thank you for your lovely review we're so pleased to hear how happy you and your daughter are with us, and our partnership with our parents is something we pride ourselves in. Thank you for choosing Space Station.
She is truly thriving-hitting her milestones, growing in confidence, and showing so much curiosity thanks to the nurturing and stimulating environment you've created. I anm especially grateful for the way you support her exploration through well-planned activities, and how attentive you are to her individual needs.
Your communication with me at the end of each day has also been exceptional. The thoughtful handovers keep us connected to her journey and show just how much care goes into every part of her day.
Thank you for being such a positive part of our daughters early development. I feel incredibly lucky to have such a dedicated, caring, and professional team.
Thank you for your lovely review, we're so pleased to hear how happy you are with the care we provide, it's a pleasure having your daughter in our care. Thank you for choosing Space Station
Absolutely fantastic nursery, the staff are really amazing at their jobs. I was really nervous about my son who has higher needs starting nursery, as he is quite delayed with his milestones. But since starting he has really started to blossom and come into himself, and the progress he is making is outstanding to see. He is also very thrilled and excited to go in, that excited he forgets mum and dad and runs straight in! As a parent it's really beautiful to see my son thriving thanks to everyone who works at Space Station. Would recommend this nursery to everyone.
Thank you for your lovely review, we are super proud of the progress your son has made in his time with us. Thank you for choosing Space Station!
What a brilliant nursery. My child was a bit unsettled at first but has come to absolutely adore the nursery workers and staff. They are all so welcoming and caring and have made my child feel so at ease. The onboarding was great and I feel very confident with my child being brought up here.
Thank you for your lovely review, we are so pleased to hear we made the transition into nursery a pleasant one for you and your son and we love seeing his smiley face every morning at drop off. Thank you for choosing Space Station !
Thank you team!
Thank you for your lovely review, its lovely to hear you are so pleased with the care and services we are providing. Thank you for choosing Space Station
My little boy started in the baby room in January and has come on so much. He has settled in amazing and learnt so many new things already and become a lot more sociable. I couldn't thank the staff in baby room enough. One staff member has done an amazing job at helping my child settle in. The staff have all been a massive part of that too. They are all so polite and welcoming too. I love hearing what they have been up to and have had for dinner as he eats like a king there. I will most definitely be enrolling my next baby and recommending space station to others. All staff in baby room are an asset to the nursery and I couldn't fault them for a single thing. Thank you for being a massive part of my baby's journey x
Thank you for your lovely review, we are so proud of how your son has adapted to nursery life with us, and the changes in him have been amazing. We can't wait to welcome your next little to our Space Station family. Thank you for choosing Space Station.
My child has been at the nursery for nearly a year. She loves going and has come on so much since starting. All the staff are lovely and very caring towards the children. You get regular updates about your child's progress and the things that they are working towards next. You get daily updates about what they have eaten and nappy changes. I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

Thank you for your lovely review, we are so pleased to hear how happy you are with the nursery and the care your son receives from our dedicated staff. Thank you for choosing Space Station
I couldn't have picked a better nursery for my child, after finding it hard to be away from me he has gained a brilliant relationship with all the staff and his key worker in particular and is now more confident than ever, they have come on leaps and bounds since starting this nursery and I am very please with everything about it. The communication is great between staff and parents, constant updates on the app throughout the day which reassures me, my child, is settled and having a good day, updates on nappy changes, toilet visits and snacks and dinner are a great piece of mind for a worrier like me.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are proud of how well your son has settled in with us and the progress in his confidence. Thank you for choosing Space Station.
Space Station was a great choice for my daughter. She had been at a childminder from 6 months old and I was very nervous and anxious about her going to a nursery. My daughter did take a while to transition but the whole team were so supportive in that transition. Communication was amazing, altering certain routines for my daughter to accommodate her and also supporting me. My daughter has thrived at the nursery and she now loves it. She has a key worker who she loves and understands my daughter really well. We have updates regularly, pictures and meetings so I can fully understand my daughter's progress and what she is doing. Great team and a great nursery. Special mention to one staff member in particular who has been so good with my daughter and is an asset to the team.
Thank you for your lovely review, we are so proud of how well your daughter has adapted to nursery life, she certainly is thriving! We also appreciate your lovely comments regarding the team and the support you received. Thank you for choosing the Space Station!
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!
Thank you for your lovely review and comments regarding our team, we're so pleased to hear how happy you are with the care we provide. Thank you for choosing Space Station!
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!
Thank you for your lovely review, we love how much her confidence has grown. We're happy to hear how happy you are with our care. Thank you for choosing Space Station!
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.
Thank you for your lovely review, it's been a pleasure having both of your boys in our care. Thank you for choosing Space Station!
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.
Thank you for your lovely review, we cant believe how fast the time has gone, he's definitely ready for his next chapter in pre-school. Thank you for choosing Space Station!
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.
Thank you for your lovely review, we're so pleased to hear how happy you and your son are with us and how we made it a smooth transition for your return to work, his confidence and development have come on leaps and bounds. Thank you for choosing Space Station.
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 tell me all about the exciting things he's done during his day. I will be very sad that he's leaving.
Thank you for your lovely review, we're sad to see him go too, but we know he'll continue to thrive in our preschool too. Thank you for all your support as parents during your time with us and thank you for choosing Space Station.
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.
Thank you for your lovely review and your kind words regarding our team. Thank you for choosing Space Station.
Everyone at Space Station is so friendly and helpful. Highly recommend Space Station to any parents!
Thank you for your lovely review, we're very proud of how well your son settled in with us in such a short time, his confidence has really developed. Thank you for choosing Space Station.
Amazing toddler room especially one lady, she has been amazing! I don't want him to leave the toddler room! The communication is amazing between parents and staff all staff are very welcoming and put you at ease straight away! Would 100% recommend Space Station to anyone.
Thank you for your lovely review and the kind comments regarding our Toddler room and the team communication, we pride ourselves on good parent partnership, we'll miss him but we're sure he'll have a great time in preschool too! Thank you for choosing Space Station.
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.
Thank you for your lovely review, we're so proud of the progress your son has made with us since joining, thank you for the lovely comments regarding the team. Thank you for choosing Space Station.

Meet the Team (1)
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!
