The Old Station Nursery Mottershead Drive is a nurturing and inviting environment that offers plenty of opportunities for children to thrive. With a devoted and small team, this exceptional childcare setting provides a warm and welcoming atmosphere where children old can grow at their own pace. 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.
Each room has been carefully designed to support the growth and development of each child, with babies starting in a safe and comfortable space that encourages exploration and learning through play. Soft play equipment, sensory baskets, and musical instruments are all available for little ones to use and enjoy.
As children progress to the 2-4 room, they have free-flow access to the garden, where they can play and learn with age-appropriate resources such as a digital computer table, role play area, and arts and crafts area. The nursery also focuses on preparing children for their journey to school.
The attached garden is a lovely addition, offering ample space for outdoor play and exploration that sparks children's imaginations and love for the natural world. At the nursery, outdoor play is a priority, and children spend plenty of time in the fresh air.
Children will thrive under the high-quality care of the passionate team at The Old Station Nursery Mottershead Drive.

My son started nursery last month based on a recommendation from a friend and he absolutely loves it. I like that they spend lots of time outside in the garden and also you get weekly pictures and daily updates via an app with lots of detail about sleep times etc. All of the nursery staff are friendly. Would be great if there was more parking but normally this isn't an issue (and wouldn't stop me from recommending the actual nursery).

Our son started at Mottershead last year, having been in contact with very few people due to lockdown and not having attended nursery before. From the very beginning, the whole team have been incredibly supportive of both my son and us as parents. In all the interactions we've had, I've known them to be genuine, kind and to truly care. The staff have gone above and beyond. Examples have included times when a comment I've made in the conversation has been thought about and used as the basis of an observation to explore the area of development more fully. It is a small nursery with a personal feel, with interactions with all members of staff feeling like they really know my son, and care about us as a family. My son is happy to go to nursery, and I have no doubt that is in large part due to how thoughtful the staff have been to go at a pace that suits him, and how empathic they are. Thank you!

I highly recommend The Old Station Nursery' at Mottershead Drive. We are so thankful for the amazing experience they provide for our daughter. She absolutely loves her time with them, and it is so reassuring how eager she is to run in through the doors in the morning. The activities are so varied and stimulating, they go above and beyond to provide a wonderful environment that makes exploring, playing and learning so fun. I am really impressed with how much outdoor play there always is, whatever the weather, the forest school and the animals are amazing.
During this time, it's been so hard to get the socialisation and breadth of activities for her, which has made the time at nursery all the more valuable. The staff are all amazing; they take so much interest in your child and love sharing their successes of the day when you collect. I am incredibly grateful for all their hard work, which is shown in all the developmental changes our daughter is making. Thank you so much!

My daughter started in December 2020. I was very nervous about her starting because she had at the point had very little interaction with anyone other than the people in our house. The nursery staff were very welcoming and understanding of me being slightly anxious, but they have done an amazing job with helping my daughter settle, and she is happy; I love seeing the photos that get posted up. A few times, I have called up, as my daughter has been poorly, and even then, they have said, if I need anything, then to let them know. I can't thank them enough for the amazing work they do and for helping with my daughter, who I thought was going to be screaming and crying every day. She so settled there that she even falls asleep on staff members! Thank you to the Mottershead team for all their hard work, it does not go unnoticed.

The staff are very caring and passionate, really helping my child to settle in with introductory sessions. My child loves going to nursery, and that must be due to the staff and the great facilities and varied activities that are provided. They pack a lot into the day. All requirements are catered for, and it's easy to get hold of staff members by phone, email or face to face at the beginning/end of the day. The app is a little clunky to use but holds a wealth of detailed info on your child's day, including some usually amusing photos. Hope the direct debit issue gets resolved soon and would love a tour once able again.
Thank you to all staff.

This nursery has provided our daughter, who has additional needs, with a safe and caring environment in which she has gained so much confidence. We know that she will have the time and attention she requires and that staff really know and understand her. The coordinator is beyond excellent with skills, knowledge and huge amounts of experience. Communication is excellent, and without this nursery, I wouldn’t have been able to cope throughout this very difficult period.

Outstanding nursery, providing brilliant care. The staff are incredibly kind, friendly, lovely and patient. My husband and I have full confidence in them when we leave our little daughter in the mornings. She is so happy and enjoys her time at the nursery. She has plenty of learning opportunities through play. We couldn’t have chosen a better nursery, and I would recommend it to anyone! I would also make a special thank you to the manager and to all staff:
“It takes a big heart to help shape little minds”.

Having moved to the local area when our son was 12-months-old, it was really tricky finding a nursery to compete with the one he had been attending previously. Having unsuccessfully tried other nurseries, we found The Old Station Nursery, Mottershead Drive and knew it was brilliant right from the start. The staff are truly exceptional. From the first phone call, they were accommodating, friendly and professional. They are caring, have so much energy for the children, and I have the utmost confidence in leaving my child in their care. My son is a late talker, and despite struggling with his speech, they are going above and beyond to support both him and us in his development.
The setting is quite small, but we particularly liked the fact that it felt very calm and welcoming. It is clean, the food is great, and my son loves the sensory room. The forest school is also a huge bonus, and I love how much exposure the children have to the outdoors - especially for energetic little boys like mine!

I have nothing but praise for the team at our son’s nursery. Since he started there he has come along leaps and bounds and seems really happy when we pull up outside. I’m sure he will continue to develop apace and as parents, we couldn’t be happier.
I highly recommend this nursery.

My son has attended Mottershead Drive for about 9-months now since I returned to work after maternity leave. He just loves it there, he loves the team and talks about them every day. This, in itself, is proof of how happy he is there. The manager and the team give daily reports on all daily information and also use Log for his learning Journey. This is lovely to have photos uploaded of activities throughout the day. Since he has attended the nursery, he has grown so much in confidence, his language has developed hugely. I would and do 100% recommend this setting to anyone. I trust the team there to look after and support his development.

My son has attended the 0-2 year group for just over 12 months, he settled in very well and thoroughly enjoyed going in. He built a good rapport with the staff and I loved watching his development on the online system. He has recently transitioned up to the 2 - 4 year group and the staff made it so easy for him, there have been no dramas with him going in and he is loving all the new activities.
Thank you to all the staff at Mottershead Drive.
