Sending my child to nursery was one of the hardest things I’ve had to do as I absolutely loved spending all my time with him and watching him grow. but after seeing how well he has been doing and all the things he’s learning and his confidence growth towards other children and adults, I feel a lot better and know he’s In good safe hands. I absolutely love how I receive photos of my little one during some of his activities and him bringing home his first-ever art piece to put on my fridge was lovely. I’d like to thank all the team there for doing such an amazing job.
Thank you for your feedback, and for taking the time to write this review, we appreciate it!
An amazing nursery where both of my children have thrived with wonderful staff taking great care of them. A family feel, with great food, management and the boys' key worker each time has been the best we could wish for.
Thank you so much for your review, we really appreciate it!
Absolutely fabulous nursery. The staff are amazing. This is my son's third nursery due to relocating and it’s by far the best. My son loves it! The staff are warm and welcoming and I really feel that they truly care about my son.
Thank you for taking the time to write this review, we appreciate your kind words! We are delighted to hear how well your son has settled into nursery life!
The practitioners at The Old Station Nursery are all kind, caring and professional. My son was initially reluctant to leave me when he started. He now goes into the nursery happily. He has really flourished under their care.
Thank you so much for your review, and for taking the time to write it, we really appreciate it!
Very impressed with the level of service and high professional standards of staff that look after my daughter. Because of them, I have noticed an amazing change in her since attending the nursery, greater personal and social confidence around adults and children. Her eating has improved and generally, she seems very happy and always gets excited when going to nursery. A big well done to the team at The Old Station Nursery Heyford, amazing. Thanks to you all.
Thank you for your kind words, and for taking the time to write us a review, we really appreciate it!
My son loves attending the nursery and has made strong bonds with the staff and other children. They always seem to be doing fun activities and I can really see an improvement in his confidence and learning since he started there. My review is good rather than excellent because I'd prefer a bit more variety in the food provided and would love more updates on the app - I want to see how much fun he's having!
Thank you for your feedback! We are delighted to hear how much your son enjoys attending nursery! As a group, we are always trying to improve our communication with our families. We aim to provide high quality and regular updates through our social media channels, monthly nursery newsletter,...
Fabulous, caring staff with loads of activities to keep the kids engaged and learning. Varieties of food on offer to the kids and a growing garden area for them to learn about plants and food in a healthy way.
Thank you for taking the time to write this review, and for your positive feedback - we really appreciate it! We make sure to provide balanced, and healthy meals for the children!
I was worried about my son attending nursery after being in lockdown. However, he has settled really well and absolutely loves being in. The staff in the baby room especially his key worker is very attentive to his needs and we are ever so grateful. We thoroughly love reading about his development on the eyLog system and can see how much he has learned since starting. Thank you very much.

I couldn’t recommend The Old Station Nursery at Heyford more. It’s a fantastic setting and the staff really go above and beyond. My little one loves going to nursery and always comes back with a smile on her face.
Thank you for taking the time to write this review, and for your positive feedback! We really appreciate it!
Our son is a lockdown baby, he’s attended one baby class and really only seen family and close friends, so nursery was a big step for him (and me). We have been supported so well by the staff team. Our son now shouts to come in to play with all his friends, after 4 weeks. We are so happy that he’s settled so well and I honestly believe it’s down to the fabulous staff. Our older daughter is in preschool and is loving life there but I just wanted to message to say thank you. It’s making my transition back to work a lot easier.
I will be so sad to see him, leave preschool in September - his key worker are angels and deserve the biggest praise!
I am a very happy mummy and I can relax knowing that she is in good hands.
The only real negative point for me would be around how the nursery charges parents - this seems to me to be set up very much in favour of the nursery at the expense of the parent whenever a change is made or the nursery is unavailable - I think the nursery would do well to make sure it's policies are more clearly outlined at the outset.
All this is secondary, however, as the most important thing is that my son clearly loves his time in the nursery, and I can see that the staff are really caring - this outweighs anything else - it seems to be a safe, slightly messy, environment that this is a good fit for my son - so I would recommend this nursery.
Dear Michael. Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. When we are able to do so, we very much look forward to welcoming you into the nursery to see your son’s learning environment. We hope that this will give you a better insight into the nursery, but if there is anything in the...
I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for childcare for their children.
We are so happy with the nursery and would recommend it to all our friends.
The staff are absolutely amazing! From day one, they have made every effort to make our little girl feel part of the nursery family, which we are very grateful for. After being in lockdown due to Coronavirus, we have seen her go from a very shy, timid little girl with other children to one who is now confident enough to approach others and initiate interaction with them. It is so lovely to see her get very excited every morning we take her to the nursery, and it's clear from the brief handover that she has developed a lovely bond with her key worker and the other staff. In the two months, she has been there, we have seen her progress in so many ways.
The regular updates we receive are great to see what she is doing and achieving at nursery. We also love that she is being exposed to other things that she wouldn't have at home, whether that is the food or the rabbits.
Thanks for all your hard work.
My eldest always tells me he has had a lovely day - I've had no drop off tears at all, and that's a huge compliment! The preschool room has been excellent for him, and his confidence has grown massively since he started there.
My little girl loves the baby room staff and is always beaming from ear to ear in all her pictures, so while she's too young to tell me, I'm pretty sure she's enjoying herself too.
Overall, I'm a very happy mummy and think it's a really lovely setting for my little ones.
The Old Station Nursery is a brilliant place to send your child. Mine has been in the baby room and now is in tots, and will progress onto pre-school. The staff are all lovely, kind and caring, and nothing is a problem. My little one has come on in leaps and bounds loves going in every day. I cannot recommend The Old Station Nursery enough. Thank you for all that you do!
Given the year we have had (COVID and a house fire) the level of support from the nursery has been fantastic. We started our 2-year-old with the nursery as he had a big issue with being left by mummy and daddy to the point where he would get so stressed, he would be physically sick. The team managed to help him settle in within a couple of weeks, and he has loved being there ever since, his social skills and language are developing now where previously I was concerned. I am so convinced of the value of the nursery that I have chosen to send my 11-month-old now earlier than expected, as I am confident that they will enjoy their time there and develop well with the support of the lovely staff. Thank you; you are superstars!
Not entirely sure of the quality of the food, as she is always starving when I pick her up.
One lady has been fantastic with my daughter, and my daughter loves her.
My son has been coming for over a year and we could not be happier with our decision to enrol him. The staff are all so friendly and welcoming. My son is now a confident, talkative, playful, cheeky 18-month-old, and I really feel his time at The Old Station has played a huge part in that, especially during these uncertain times.
