The Old Station Nursery Droitwich is a nursery that embraces the great outdoors, nestled in the beautiful woodland of Droitwich. The setting takes pride in providing children with a stimulating environment for learning and development while encouraging outdoor play, come rain or shine.
The nursery offers exceptional care, enriched by unique learning opportunities for your child. One such experience is child-friendly cooking classes, helping to equip children with valuable skills and deeper knowledge of the cooking process.
The baby room, situated upstairs, caters to the youngest children up to about 16 months, with three adjoining rooms designed to offer ample space and natural light. Connected to this room is the room catering for children aged from about 16 months to 2 years old. Both rooms are equipped with a range of equipment designed to encourage walking and promote steady development.
The room for children aged around 2 to 3 years old is divided into four smaller areas, allowing the team to focus on each child's individual developmental needs. The pre-school area for children aged around 3 to 4 years old is split into three smaller rooms, providing plenty of space for children to learn and grow.
The garden area is equipped with an allotment where children can learn about sustainable living through planting and growing their own food.
The garden also includes a play park situated within a vast woodland area on the nursery grounds. Here, children can enjoy a range of child-friendly equipment, including a sandpit, construction area, firepit, mud kitchen, and a bug hotel, affectionately known in the nursery as 'Buggingham Palace.'
This setting provides an outdoor classroom for children to connect with nature and enjoy learning in a unique environment.
The Old Station Nursery Droitwich has a Review Score of 9.9 (9.912) out of 10, based on 39 reviews in the last 2 years. Over all time The Old Station Nursery Droitwich has 104 reviews.

My First Friends has been part of our lives for the last 3 1/2 years and I could not have asked for more kind, nurturing and supportive people to take care of my son. The staff know the children inside out and are 100% committed to ensuring that they that they are nurtured and happy, alongside providing opportunities for them to develop socially, physically and emotionally. Parental communication is exceptional: daily updates are given and it is also easy to contact the nursery managers (the response is always prompt). In addition to this, even though this is already an outstanding setting, managers listen to parental feedback and are constantly striving to make improvements (e.g the carpark, internal renovations, brand new resources/equipment).
I am so grateful to everyone at My First Friends for the most wonderful start they have given him.

I can't give this nursery enough positive feedback! The manager and her whole team are the most incredible people, always putting the children at the heart of everything they do. They always do everything they can to support both the children and parents! The rooms are all kept clean and tidy with lots of exciting toys and well-planned activities and natural light, giving the children the best environment. The room leaders and other staff members are always so attentive to my child's needs and I really feel like they all genuinely love and care for him as much as I do and do everything they can to help him succeed! They do such an amazing job at keeping me up to date through the app about everything my son gets up to throughout the day.
My son has been with this nursery since he was 9/10 months old (he is now 2) and I have never had a bad experience with any aspect of the nursery or the team. My son is always happy and excited to go to nursery here and I can't ask for much more!
