Review from E S (Mother of Child) published on 11 August 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter, who has developmental delays and a working diagnosis of ASD loves her nursery and the wonderful staff that look after her. The nursery is very inclusive and welcoming and the staff are always cheerful, patient and very friendly. The resources are great too. Everyone is always very helpful and we feel confident our daughter is happy, safe and cared for really well. The children also spend a lot of time outdoors in a lovely and spacious garden. I would highly recommend this setting.

Review from C P (Mother of Child) published on 8 August 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

When you send your child to nursery you hope for a few things, they are looked after by caring individuals that are invested in their well being, the environment is safe and fun, and all their needs are met (such as good meals and snacks, timely nappy changes, naps, support when upset). But they’re also given the opportunity to learn and explore through thoughtful and interesting activities. Old Station Nursery, Oxford achieves all this and more, my son loves attending the setting. As a business, I find Old Station Nursery, has great planning, foresight, and communication and the level of care is very high and consistent. With both daily updates, and more long-term development updates, you feel well supported as a parent and very safe in the knowledge your child is being cared for by a wonderful team of professionals, who are excellently managed.

Review from Katie L (Mother of Child) published on 26 April 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter runs into nursery every time with a happy face and full of excitement! We never have any issues and the staff are very helpful, the only thing I would change is introducing a system where we can see the fluid and food intake on the app every day, sometimes we don’t get a clear handover of what she has eaten and drank during the day. Thank you for a lovely, safe environment for our little one.

Review from Sophie M (Mother of Child) published on 26 April 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

As a first time mum, the staff at The Old Station Nursery were amazing at welcoming my son and making sure he was settled. They understood the anxiety as a new parent leaving your child with a stranger and comforted me as a parent offering support and advice which was amazing to feel. The staff are open to try new routines and adjustments to suit the needs of the child. And are constantly offering support and advice. My son has an amazing bond with his key person but will happily go to any adult in the room. I feel happy knowing he has a fun-filled day at nursery. The Old Station Nursery offer some amazing activities for babies such as music, messy play, role play, song time and outdoor play. As well as ample opportunity to free flow giving the children the choice to decide. The food always goes down a treat, my son always comes home with a full tummy and a messy shirt. A sign of a fun-filled day. I couldn’t praise the baby room staff well enough! I cannot wait to see how he progresses!

Overall Experience

Since my daughter joined the nursery last year, I could not be happier with the overall experience. All the members of staff are kind, helpful and always smiling. My daughter absolutely loves it and you can tell that she is very well looked after. I have not seen the new facility properly yet but it looks amazing from the outside.

Overall Experience

My experience with the nursery continues to be an extremely positive one, the staff are incredible and have made everything from dealing with Covid to a site move smooth and uninterrupted. My daughter goes from strength to strength at this nursery, she has grown in confidence and independence and a huge percentage of this is down to her time at Old Station Road and the impeccable level of care and support she receives there, the facilities and the team are second to none.

Review from Charlotte S (Mother of Child) published on 25 April 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My toddler is very happy at the Old Station Nursery. She gets more stimulation and undertakes more activity than I could ever provide at home. She learns a lot and the staff are great. There is a good menu and variety of food, although my one criticism would be that I would prefer that sugar was not on the menu, which is something I have experienced at other nurseries too.

Reply from Beth Lewendon, Marketing Coordinator at The Old Station Nursery Oxford

Thank you for your feedback. Our menus change regularly and aim to provide a variety of healthy options for the children, meeting the required nutritional guidelines. We are always looking to better our menus so please do let us know if you have any particular suggestions as to what you would like...

Our son is always happy to go to nursery and to come back. He has lots of stuff to tell us about his day. He loves the food. He has no problem napping. And he enjoys playing with the rabbits, giving them carrots. Children can spend lots of time in the garden.

Lovely setting - very professionally managed with caring staff and a creative, play-led approach to learning. Our daughter has settled well and is very happy here. We’re delighted to see how quickly she’s developing under the guidance of her teachers - art, music, speech and language, motor skills, socialising, sense of humour… Excellent work, guys; thank you!

The staff are excellent - always there to listen to any questions or concerns and to talk about our son and the things he got up to during his day. Most important is our son comes home happy, chatting about the fun things he got up to, and excited to share art and other projects he made during his day.

I am extremely satisfied by the service provided by The Old Station Nursery, Oxford. My daughter had been going to another very reputed Nursery at Milton Park. However, we were not very happy with their service. But The Old Station Nursery has exceeded our expectations. Special thanks to her keyworker, she had been amazing. Shout out to the other team members too. Thanks a lot for loving our child so much.

Review from Victoria G (Mother of Child) published on 16 November 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both my girls love the place. When they are off, they continuously ask when they will come back. They feel like it is a second home. I can see great progress in my girls' development and language skills (we are from non-English language background). Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Never had any issues. Management is always open to conversation. What more could you wish from a nursery?
