Review from Dan F (Father of Child) published on 20 November 2020 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience

The manager and her team demonstrate an extraordinary commitment to the wellbeing of the children in their care. Even during the recent, more challenging, conditions, the staff have remained professional and motivated and it is a real joy to collect my child, knowing that he has been cared for so wonderfully.

Overall Experience
My son has been attending since he was 9-months-old and I have nothing but good things to say about the whole team. All the staff are accommodating, flexible and knowledgable. There is a sense of care with the staff and how they interact with all the children.

A very supportive nursery, I would recommend it to anyone.

Overall Experience

My daughter started this nursery in May 2019 after having a terrible experience at her previous nursery. I can honestly not fault this nursery, they have been fantastic from the moment I contacted them. The manager, her key worker and all the other staff are amazing and my daughter absolutely loves them and tells me this all the time. She has grown in confidence since attending this nursery and enjoys herself so much it's a struggle to get her to leave each day.

Overall Experience

My little boy started at The Old Station Nursery just before his 1st birthday, and we have been very happy with how he has got on there. In this last year, we have seen him gain confidence and develop into a communicative little toddler. The nursery/baby room has a very friendly and calm atmosphere, and I felt that the carers there were experienced and attentive to the children. When my son was very young, they were very accommodating with his routine for naps and mealtimes. They did a range of activities each day, and the outside play area was great. My little boy really loved his key worker, and she gave us lots of updates on the app, photos, comments and video, which I found invaluable. This also meant that on the days and weekends he was with us, we could continue some of the activities and books he had been doing at nursery.

Review from L O (Mother of Child) published on 20 September 2019 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My son moved to this nursery in August 2019 and has settled in extremely well. The staff always go above and beyond and are fantastic with the children as well as with the parents. I was very impressed with the quality of the facilities, the outdoor space, the development and learning implemented. My son although only 1 has already made friends, grown in confidence and adores his key workers who we (his parents) have a good and trusted relationship with.

Keep up the great work The Old Station Nursery.

Overall Experience
This nursery has been absolutely wonderful, the staff are friendly and have made my child grow in so many ways. I would recommend this place to anyone that is looking for a nursery where their child would be happy and learn so much.

They are always there to listen if you have a problem and nothing is to much trouble.

Overall Experience

My daughters (4 and 1) have had a wonderful experience at The Old Station and have thrived in the happy, safe, stimulating environment. The rooms and facilities are excellent, especially the outdoor space which has evolved throughout the year to include more learning and playing opportunities for the children. The staff in the preschool and baby room have been so supportive to our family and cared so well for the children. Very much recommended!

Overall Experience
A welcoming setting where my child is happy and settled. The staff are friendly and professional and I have no concerns about leaving my child.
I appreciate being kept well up to date on his learning and all the activities they do. The food menu is varied and they encourage the children to eat new foods and cut their food and use cutlery.

I'm glad this nursery was recommended to us!

Review from Jason D (Father of Child) published on 30 July 2018 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Daughter has been attending for over a year now and was one of the first set of children to be present when the establishment was new to the area. We have witnessed progression after progression as numbers increased to what is now a fantastic and warming nursery. We leave our child there with a real sense of feeling that our child will be looked after, will learn and develop while being in a safe and secure environment. We have seen our daughter develop great relationships with the excellent and reassuring staff there and witnessed her development as a child partly down to her time here.

Would certainly recommend any parent to this place for their child.

Review from R T (Mother of Child) published on 27 July 2018 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience

A really caring place for our toddlers aged 1 and 3. Plenty of variety in the activities offered physical, sensory and emotional stimulation. Good use of the outside space and a chance for siblings of different ages to interact which was lovely for us and our children. Lovely food and great at accommodating special dietary requirements. Even though our children only attended one day a week they were properly known and loved by the staff. Good feedback at the end of the day as to how our children had slept, eaten and what they had enjoyed.

We struggled to find a setting we were happy with until we found The Old Station Nursery. My son has so much fun every day, with different activities and lots of outside time always available. He is so happy to go to nursery and I eventually found somewhere I was happy to leave him!

Review from Liliana S-C (Mother of Child) published on 4 October 2017 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
Our daughter has been coming to the nursery since the beginning of July and we have nothing other than praise and gratitude for the level of care and commitment towards our daughter.
Our daughter's key person is very caring, loving and interested in the development of the children in her care, she even tries to speak to our daughter in Spanish as she knows how important this is for my husband and I.
Three other members of staff have also been instrumental to the successful two months of our daughter's time at the nursery.

We would recommend them with the eyes closed.

Overall Experience

Our daughter moved from another nursery to this one and we are so glad that she did. The building is large and clean and full of stimulating toys and activities. The staff go out of their way to make both the children and their parents as comfortable and valued as they can. They are so friendly and approachable and they ensure that they really focus on the individual needs of each child. The outdoor providers who come in and do activities with the children keep each day fun and interesting for the children too.

Overall Experience

They offer the personal touch and go out of their way to make my girl happy e.g. sleeping aids. I like the 'feel' of the nursery, it feels like a home from home. It's a very happy, caring environment and my girl picks up on this - she is very happy.
