Both of my children went to Space Station Day Nursery, and both enjoyed it a lot! The friendliness of all staff put me at ease that both my children were in safe hands. I received updates daily on their routine throughout the nursery day.
Thank you for your lovely review; we loved having both of your children in our care, and we're happy to hear how pleased you were with the care provided for them.
Lovely staff and management. Always helpful and caring, never had any problems. My 2-year-old son loved attending this nursery, and he really liked his key worker - amazing and friendly. He loved taking part in all the interesting activities, and he grew in confidence so much. Cannot recommend enough.
Thank you for your lovely review; we are so pleased to hear how happy you and your son have been with us. It's been a pleasure having him in our care and watching his confidence blossom.
Both of my kids were going to Space Station Day Nursery. They quickly got over their fear of separation from their parents and started enjoying their time there. The friendliness of the staff is outstanding, and they always come up with new ideas to help children's development.
Thank you for your lovely review; it's been a pleasure having both of your children in our care and watching them make such amazing progress! We wish them the best of luck with the next part of their early years journey. Thank you for choosing Space Station.
Absolutely amazing. So thankful to every single person who works here and has been there for my daughter. They’re so smiley. So caring. So welcoming. Check-in. Polite and kind. My daughter loves this nursery and everyone there. I love all the updates, personal messages, and photos I get daily. I felt at ease from day one, leaving my child here in safe hands. Absolutely amazing, and I’m so thankful for all the help. Eight months to three years she’s been here, and we’re both sad she’s leaving.
Thank you for your lovely review; it's been a pleasure having your daughter in our care from the baby room and watching her develop and make such fantastic progress. We wish her the best of luck in the next stage of her learning at school! Thank you for choosing Space Station.
We have used Space Station for both our daughters and can’t recommend it highly enough. Special shout out to the manager for going above and beyond all the time!
Thank you for your lovely review. We've loved having both of your girls in our care at Space Station. Thank you for your lovely comments regarding our team; we are extremely grateful for all the support your family has shown us over the years as parents. We are very proud to have seen both of your girls progress from our baby room right through to school. Thank you for choosing Space Station.
My little girl has been going to the nursery for just over four months now, and she absolutely loves it. The staff are very friendly and welcoming - can’t thank them enough for helping settle my little one into the setting and for making it even easier for me and Dad, knowing how safe, happy and content she is attending this nursery makes a massive difference to a lot of parents. Would recommend the nursery to anyone and everyone.
Thank you for your lovely review. We too, are proud of how well your little one has settled in with us. It's lovely to hear that, as parents, you feel reassured that she is safe, happy and content with us.
My son has been coming to Space Station for around nine months now. Although at first, he did cry when coming in due to it being a new setting, the girls in the waddler room are brilliant, really thorough with their work and provide good meaningful activities for him to learn from, and he soon settled in and is now happy to come to nursery every day. Now he's two, I'm looking forward to him moving into toddlers to further his development with children his age. Also, if I've had any concerns or queries, management has been very efficient in dealing with these.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are pleased to hear how happy you are with your son's progress and the care we provide.
My daughter started attending nursery here in January 2023. I can not thank and praise them enough for what they have done for my daughter with her speech, language and overall communication, as well as her eating has massively improved. I was very worried at first about sending her to the nursery, but now I am so, so glad I went with Space Station. Her key worker is also the most amazing person I could have asked for her to be with, and she always asks to go and see her in school; again, I can’t thank them enough.
Thank you for your lovely review; we are so pleased with how happy you are with your daughter's progress with us. Thank you for the special mention of her key worker too!
My daughter was very shy at the beginning, and the staff welcomed her in and made her comfortable - now she looks forward to attending nursery.
Thank you for your lovely review... we have also noticed the change in your little one's confidence... it's nice to hear how happy you both are.
My son started at Space Station Day Nursery in January 2023, and the staff have really helped him come along so much. He really is so happy there, and when I drop him off in the mornings, he can’t wait to get in to see all his friends and the staff. The staff are all so professional and friendly and always put your mind at ease when it comes to my little one. I really can’t thank the nursery and the staff enough.
Thank you for your lovely review... we appreciate your feedback; it's lovely to hear how happy you and your son are here at Space Station.
Twins settled in quickly with the help of nursery practitioners. Now, whenever we go to pick them up in the afternoon, they are not ready to come home. Twins are premature, and they were behind in their development and milestones. Within a few months of going to nursery, they caught up with the full-term babies. I couldn't be prouder of them. And really thankful to the staff for helping them reach their milestones. I was never stressed about sending them to the nursery because I knew they were in good hands.
Unfortunately, we are moving to Edinburgh, leaving in two weeks and will be really sad to go. Thank you for all the support and for looking after my three precious kids.
Thank you for your lovely review; it was a pleasure seeing your little boy transition from our baby room right through to leaving for school, followed by his twin siblings, who also did amazing in our baby room. We will be sad to see you all leave, but wish you all the best of luck in your new life in Edinburgh, and you will always be part of our Space Station family!
As an SEN parent, it’s really nice to see their child enjoy going to nursery so much. My daughter smiles every time she gets dropped off. The nursery staff are amazing and hands-on with the children and really do a lot behind the scenes to make sure the children are getting any extra support they need. The manager is really kind, caring and really involved in what goes on in each room, and it’s really refreshing to see. They have helped my daughter so much already, and I really can’t recommend this nursery enough.
Thank you for your lovely review, we love seeing your daughter's smiley face in the morning, and we're very proud of her progress too! Thank you for your lovely comments regarding our staff team; we work really hard to build positive parent partnerships.
My son is nearly three and has been at Space Station since he was ten months old. He has progressed through the rooms, and he has therefore been cared for by different team members, and we have nothing but good things to say about them all. The best thing is, in my opinion, the app and daily updates you get on food/naps etc, particularly when they are settling in. They have helped my son come on so much in various areas, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to other parents, and I am looking forward to my daughter starting too later this year.
Thank you for your lovely review; we are pleased to hear how happy you have been throughout your son's journey with us, and we can't wait to welcome his baby sister later this year too! We love having you as part of our Space Station family.
Our son loves this nursery and always wants to come back. Since he started attending the nursery, he has learnt a lot of new skills. The staff are very nice, helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend it to anyone in this area.
Thank you for your lovely review; it's great to hear how much he has learnt with us already. Thank you for your kind comments about our team members, who work hard to establish good parent partnerships.
Amazing staff at Space Station Day Nursery, very welcoming and friendly, very supportive of the needs of the child and the parent. I can’t thank them all enough for the help and support they have given me and my little boy. I would recommend to anybody looking for a nursery for their child to choose Space Station Day Nursery.
Thank you for your lovely review; it's lovely to hear how much we have supported both you and your son with the transition into nursery life. Thank you for choosing Space Station.
My boy started nursery in September at 11 months last year. Honestly, the transition from maternity leave to work, and the nursery was scary, to begin with for me personally. We initially booked a tour to see the nursery pretty early to ensure we can book a space. We were honestly blown away; the nursery was the clean, modern and friendly staff, the app on the phone and much more. Honestly, I am lost for words with how much he has come on. We are in 6 months since starting nursery, and he absolutely loves it; he no longer cries on drop-offs. He confidently goes into the baby's room with a big smile on his face. His speech has come on so much, as have his walking and all his motor skills. I am honestly speechless. He is such a crafty little toddler now, and I could not thank the staff enough for everything they do for our boy. It is honestly the best feeling knowing how much he loves the nursery and how well he is cared for. We will always be grateful and he absolutely loves his key worker and all the baby staff.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are very proud of how far your little one has come since joining us last September. We're pleased to hear we helped make your transition back to work a smooth one. We love having you all as part of our Space Station family.
My daughter has been going to Space Station for over a year now and she absolutely loves it. From the moment she enters to being picked up she has a smile on her face. The staff are so welcoming and amazing with my daughter and I would not trust anyone else. Her development has come on so well since attending. Thank you to everyone who works there and for all your hard work.
Thank you for your lovely review, we love seeing her smiley face every morning. We're so pleased to read how happy you are with everything we do.
Absolutely incredible nursery which has been part of my family for 4.5 years, looking after both my children and they both love it here. The staff are amazing and seeing the bond my kids have with them, reassured me, Space Station was definitely the right choice.
Thank you for your lovely review, it's been a pleasure having you all as part of our Space Station family and having both your children in our care.
As a first-time parent, I was so unsure of the benefits of the nursery but honestly, I don't regret a single thing other than not doing it a little sooner! We will be sad to move on.
Thank you very much for your great review, it's much appreciated. It's great to hear that your son has enjoyed his time with us at the Space Station Day Nursery.
My daughter started at Space Station earlier on in the year due to me moving her from a previous nursery that had many flaws. That is not the case with this nursery. The manager is so professional and knows her job so well, which reflects in her staff. They are all so lovely and welcoming, and nothing but your childrens best interests are at the forefront. My daughter runs into the nursery with pure joy on her face - that alone puts me at ease. The app is a great piece of mind; you are able to see what your child has done during the day, from what they have eaten, slept etc. I am due to have another baby in the new year and don't have any apprehension about them joining Space Station.
Thank you for such a lovely review, we love nothing more than seeing your little one's smiley face in the morning when she comes in and we can't wait to have your new addition with us too. We are pleased to hear how happy you are with our services and the conduct of our staff team.

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!
