Our child has been a happy attendee of Old Heyford Nursery now for over a year. We could not be more delighted with our experience. The Staff are truly phenomenal. Everyone we have met has been exceptional - from the Chef to the Nursery Room Staff. Our child asks to go to Nursery everyday - even a Saturday. Honestly it is thanks to the Staff that our child is thriving, happy and confident. Thank you to everyone at Old Station Heyford!
We are delighted to read that your child is happy at our nursery and that they're even asking to attend on weekends. It's wonderful to know that the whole team have made such a positive difference to their confidence and happiness.
Since starting nursery, our son has learned so many skills, and he is clearly happy and thriving when there. The staff have also been really supportive of me as a mother, they always understand how hard it is to leave him and always want to help where they can. Would definitely recommend.
We are delighted to read how much your son is learning and how happy he is at our nursery. It's lovely to know that the team's support and understanding have made such a positive difference for you as well. Thank you for taking the time to recommend our nursery.
I trust the staff like family and I'm so happy we picked this nursery for our little one. They have lots of activities like 'Boogie Beats' dancing and our fridge is full of art work. I like the updates and photos throughout the day on the app and can see how much she is enjoying her time.
Thank you to everyone who runs Old Station Heyford!
We are delighted to read that your daughter has thrived in the baby room and that you have felt supported with her physiotherapy, feeding, and allergy needs.

A fantastic, stimulating and caring environment. My daughter absolutely loves her nursery days and always happily goes over to whoever greets her each morning. So grateful for the team and what they do for her at TOSN Heyford Park. Wouldn't hesitate in recommending this nursery to other parents.

I love hearing about her day and getting updates on the app, she comes out full of beans and it's such a lovely thing to witness.
The staff are also very understanding with parents too, they feel more like family which is so comforting. I couldn't recommend them enough.

This nursery provides everything I could ask for and more. The staff are fantastic. The enthusiasm and genuine care towards the children is exceptional. The amount of kindness and patience provided is amazing. My daughter absolutely loves it at nursery here and I honestly think she feels it is a home from home! I couldn't be happier with the care provided and the progress she has made. Not to forget the delicious home cooked meals she is provided everyday.

The program does a wonderful job of encouraging social skills, creativity, and independence through engaging, age-appropriate activities. We've seen so much growth in our child's confidence and enthusiasm for learning, which speaks volumes about the care and dedication of the team. It's clear that the staff genuinely care about every child and work hard to foster positive relationships among the students. We are extremely grateful for everything they do and would highly recommend this preschool to any family looking for a nurturing and enriching environment for their child.
We are thrilled to read how happy your child is with us and how much they enjoy coming in each day. It is wonderful to know you have seen such positive growth in their confidence and enthusiasm for learning. Thank you for taking the time to provide such detailed feedback.
We couldn't be happier with this nursery! The staff are absolutely amazing - kind, patient, and genuinely caring with every child. They create such a warm and welcoming atmosphere where little ones feel safe, loved, and excited to learn. The variety of activities they plan is fantastic - from creative play and outdoor fun to early learning experiences that really help with development. The facilities are clean, bright, and well-equipped, making it a perfect environment for children to explore and grow. The meals and snacks provided are healthy, balanced, and freshly prepared, which is such a relief for parents who want to make sure their children are eating well during the day. Another big plus is that the nursery offers a first aid course for parents, which I found incredibly useful and reassuring. It shows how much they care not only about the children's safety but also about supporting families as a whole. Truly an outstanding nursery - highly recommended!

The staff here are more like friends and nothing has ever been too much trouble. I'm so grateful we have been able to have such a wonderful couple of years here. I really cannot recommend this nursery enough.
It has been a joy having your son with us for the past two years. We are thrilled to hear he's loved his time here and has made such great progress. We are delighted to hear our team have been able to support him in the best way possible and it is exciting to see him ready for the next step in education. Thank you for your trust and for recommending us!
Such a wonderful place for children makes you feel less guilty about leaving them for work commitments as you know they are going to have such a fun time!
Cannot recommend this nursery enough, my family will be forever grateful
We're so pleased to read that your son has flourished with us and that our nursery has made you feel comfortable leaving him in our care. We love what we do, and it's rewarding to know we're making a positive difference. Thank you for recommending us!
Our daughter is in the Babies room at the Old Station Nursery and we couldn't be happier! The staff are great - friendly, experienced and supportive. It feels like they've fostered a real bond with our child. We have no doubt our daughter is happy, safe and engaged there. The facilities and activities provided are brilliant. We appreciate the daily updates and pictures via the app.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. The team take pride in forming strong bonds and trust with both children and parents so will be delighted to read this. We love the app; it allows us to share precious little moments and bigger milestones to strengthen the home/nursery connection.
We feel very lucky that our son attends Old Station Nursery in Heyford. He joined the babies room in October 2024 and settled in really quickly. This is undoubtedly testament to the brilliant job the team do there to make it a fun, safe and stimulating environment for the little ones. They were also brilliantly supportive of us as parents as we too navigated the tricky transition of our son going to nursery. The updates on the app are lovely to receive to see the fun things they've been getting up to and the skills he's gaining. And we also appreciate the events they organise like the Christmas party as it's a nice chance to meet other parents. Can't recommend highly enough!
The nursery team will be thrilled to read how happy you are. The transition period can initially feel daunting, but we aim to support both parent and child with care and regular communication. Thank you for joining our nursery family and recommending us!
It's the people at The Old Station Nursery that make this such a fantastic nursery. My daughter settled into the baby room immediately - napping longer on her first day than she ever had at her previous setting. I have no doubt this was down to the warmth of the team and immediate effort they made to get to know my daughter and her needs. The nursery's communications are great, I am sent regular updates and photos through their app - showing everything my daughter has been up to, and skills she is working towards. I couldn't be happier with the nursery and given my daughters face at drop-off, neither could she! I would recommend OSN Heyford to anyone.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments. The whole nursery team aims to work together to ensure children are settled and parents are reassured. We are delighted to have you as part of our nursery family.
The garden could do with a little makeover and make it less muddy.
We always aim to provide a happy environment and exciting learning experiences to suit children's individual needs and interests every day. Thank you so much for sharing your experience.
My little one joined The Old Station Nursery at 10 months (January 24) for 2 days a week and has now gone up to 4 days. She really enjoys going and is happy when going in and coming out every day. They do so many activities, from spending time outside/little trips to the playground to music time and crafts. She has developed so much, which is supported by the key person at the nursery (language, signing, confidence). Lots of updates are available on the app daily. I feel that she is very well cared for at the nursery, with all her needs met. The staff are lovely and are happy to answer any questions.
We are so pleased to read that your daughter is enjoying her time with us and that you feel reassured that the exciting activities we offer are meeting her needs. Thank you for recommending our setting.
Every single member of staff we've encountered have been so lovely and professional and can't do enough for you.
Our son's current key person is just amazing. She is so lovely. She notices lots of little details and genuinely cares about our son. She puts loads of updates on the app which we really appreciate so we can see what our son is up to throughout the day.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are so happy to read how well your son has settled in our care. The team takes pride in offering a variety of daily activities and learning experiences that complement children's interests, and we love to share the outcomes via the app!
Our son has been at The Old Station since the baby room and he is about to start primary school in September. We couldn't be more happy with Old Station, all of the staff are not only nurturing to our son but extremely supportive of us as parents. There are always different activities going on each day and our son really enjoys the time he spends there. They have helped prepare him for school and also helped him to become a confident little boy who makes friends easily. I couldn't be happier with this nursery and always recommend it to friends and family.
Thank you for recommending our nursery. We are delighted to have supported your son in his early years of education and readiness for school.
Our little boy had the pleasure of attending Old Station Nursery for the last few months and we really have been blown away with how the nursery looks after the children! Our son spent his time there with the wonderful tots team and the nursery as a whole is run truly magnificently. Their attention to detail from the setting they provide, to the activities they put on is first class. Even minor details like taking all the children on a lovely daily mile walk and everybody in the room waving goodbye in the evenings is so heartwarming. It gave us such reassurance that our son was in the best level of care, we only wish we would pick it up and move it with us! Thank you again to all the staff, you should be so proud of this nursery!
Thank you very much for choosing us and we definitely wish we could move with you too!
I can't rave about The Old Station Nursery and its staff enough. I have 2 children there, one currently in babies, and another that started in tots and is now in preschool. They both settled in quickly and had a great time. Always happy to go in, always sad to come out but happy to tell me about the adventures of the day. Preschool has helped my oldest flourish. She loves learning and has progressed immensely. I'll be really sad when she leaves to start school and she'll miss the staff a lot. There is a big focus on outside time as well as quieter play inside (I wish the garden was a little less muddy - but when she comes home muddy she's had a great day!). I recommend the nursery to anyone asking for where to send their children! Can't wait to see my youngest flourish in the same way my oldest has.
Wow! Thank you for sharing your experience; we are delighted to read how happy your children are at our nursery!
