The Old Station Nursery Heyford

We have been delighted with The Old Station Nursery ever since our son joined in September. We were naturally apprehensive, having never used a nursery before, and our son being only 9-months-old, not to mention the pandemic, but we needn't have worried. He absolutely loves going, he is always getting involved in exciting activities, has built fabulous relationships with staff and even has several little baby friends. We are kept informed of his progress regularly and get excellent feedback each day from his carers. It was 100 per cent, the best decision we made.

Since my toddler has joined The Old Station Nursery in Heyford, she has come in leaps and bounds, especially with talking and interacting with others. She enjoys going there and always sounds excited to express what she has done in the day.

It was very hard for me personally to send my daughter to nursery as I had never left her before, but everyone in the babies room was so so kind and patient with us taking time to reassure both myself and my daughter; we were allowed additional settling in sessions, which helped so much. My daughter is from a dual language family, and the nursery often asks for translations of words and songs, which I just find outstanding to support my daughter. Also, a huge thank you to my daughter's key worker, who is an angel, honestly looks after my daughter so well and keeps me at ease!

My son has been attending all three rooms of the nursery, and l was happy with the care he was getting in all of them. He learned so much in there, and l know for sure that there are some skills he still wouldn't get from the family if he didn't go to The Old Station Nursery.

The staff have formed a strong bond and attend to his needs and development very well. In such a short time, our son has made great progress in all areas of his development, and we couldn’t be happier as we know he wouldn’t experience the same outcome from being at home. I am always well informed about my child’s day and information from management is always clear, thorough and concise. As first-time parents, we were well supported both with our son and our needs too. Overall, highly recommended and please see for yourself.

The very friendly staff always happy to help, always go above and beyond to accommodate every child.

Even during the covid, they have strived to enrich the children's learning experience where ever possible. These are people who care about what they do.

My son has been attending The Old Station Nursery now for around 18 months and he loves it! He has various medical and developmental issues and all of the staff go above and beyond to give him the help and care that he needs. If any of the staff do not understand my son's needs, there is always someone there to explain how to handle and deal with him and put him at ease! The manager is absolutely amazing. She is approachable, lovely and so caring towards all the children and parents. During this pandemic, she has put everyone's mind at ease with all the safety procedures they have in place to make sure our children are kept safe. My son's key worker is also brilliant, my son absolutely adores her. She always goes out of her way to make sure he is comfortable and she is lovely to speak to at pick up time, she informs me of everything he has done that day and he always leans in for a cheeky cuddle from her before he leaves! I would highly recommend The Old Station Nursery to anyone!

Our son has only been with the setting for a few weeks, already we are very pleased with the service we have received.

The manager was extremely helpful and welcoming upon registration, all the staff are very friendly and also welcoming, together with all the children that already attend.

Our son moved daycare providers due to medical issues needing to be closer to home and nothing has been a problem. He has settled in incredibly well, we are all very happy, we highly recommend this setting to anyone.
