Located in the coastal town of Portishead, and situated just off the high street, Stationhouse Nursery, rated Outstanding by Ofsted (October 2022), offers quality day care for children from 3 months to 5 years old.

Inside the nursery there are four different playrooms where children have a plethora of age-appropriate resources to help them learn and play.

The nursery also benefits from an in house chef who prepares fresh meals and snacks, focusing on nutritionally rich meals that also promote children's interest in different foods.

Stationhouse is a wonderful nursery that consists of incredible staff in a great setting. Through the activities and encouragement of staff, we have seen our daughter grow in confidence and independence. Values of kindness and sharing are well established, as well as the opportunity to learn and try
new things. Food is excellent - well balanced and well-received!

Stationhouse is a brilliant nursery. They provide a caring, nurturing and loving environment filled with adventures and activities - encouraging the children, building their confidence and developing strong bonds with the other kids and adults too. Listening to the children and developing activities
around their interests ensures the children are engaged in their own learning too. This couldn't be done without the hard work and dedication of the staff who are all amazing - they have such compassion and enthusiasm whether it's first thing in the morning or last thing in the evening they always have a smile! They will always take the time to tell you about their day and work with you and provide support, coming up with creative ideas to help and ensure your child's wellbeing comes first.

I think that Stationhouse Nursery in Portishead is excellent. The facilities are excellent, and the ethos of the team - putting the child first and individually supporting them to develop and grow - is something that has seen both our kids shine. The staff provided excellent feedback to parents and
has provided us additional resources to help us provide consistency between nursery and home. The management team are great to deal with, and I think the inclusion of the forest school is a highlight. I would strongly recommend Stationhouse Nursery.

The team at Stationhouse Nursery in Portishead are exceptional. They constantly demonstrate their unwavering dedication to all the children in their care, creating a nurturing environment that allows children to grow and flourish. Having both our children attend Stationhouse meant we saw exactly how
the children are understood as individuals. Our children’s key workers know them inside and out and tailor their approach wonderfully to provide the best possible support and opportunities for development and learning. Not only do the team at Stationhouse care for the children themselves, but they are also attentive to the families behind them. The facilities are excellent, and the fact that the forest school is included at no extra cost is brilliant. Having food prepared fresh daily by an excellent chef is also wonderful. The Stationhouse team are part of the village helping us to raise our children, and I am sincerely grateful to them.

A nursery where staff go above and beyond to find out about my children’s interests and give them a warm, friendly welcome. Both my children love coming, and each has had a unique experience reflective of their herds and interests. I particularly like how all staff know my children, not just those they
directly work with, and they are super creative, resourceful and energetic. They’re just fab.

Fantastic Nursery that goes above and beyond for our child. She always comes back happy, having actively learnt things that she’s keen to show us. She adores the staff and we are always delighted leaving her there knowing that she will have a great day.

Our child has been with Stationhouse for almost 3 years now and each transition to a new room has been done seamlessly. All of their team members have been attentive and have developed our most prized ‘possession’ into a confident and capable little human.
A fantastic SLT and network they are a credit
to the local community.

We have had a great experience with Stationhouse Nursery over the past 5 years with all 3 of our children. The staff really care about each child and are happy to accommodate and adapt to parent requests. The children are all happy, the activities varied and enriching and the food excellent. They eat
better at nursery than at home!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Stationhouse has been absolutely fantastic since we started in September! We had recently moved to the area and were sad to leave our old nursery but needn’t have worried as Stationhouse has exceeded our expectations in all areas! The staff are amazing! A great manager and is always so friendly, approachable
and organised. The staff in Sunbeams are all brilliant as well. Our daughter’s key worker is always so engaging and goes above and beyond. We have been so touched by all the effort she and the other girls have made to help our daughter use Swedish at nursery, as she is being raised bilingual at home. Our daughter adores all of the staff and waves us off happily at drop off every time and talks about them regularly at home - a great testament to how happy she is there.

Fabulous experience with my son at Snowflakes, Stationhouse! The team are supportive and helpful and always demonstrates a professional manner when I have any dealings. They give care and attention to handovers and really make us as a family feel valued, my son loves going and has learnt so much from
them all!

Stationhouse is a fantastic nursery from the baby room to the preschool room. Everyone has been welcoming, supportive and engaging from when we first started. They take the time to find out about the children outside of the nursery and make me feel very comfortable leaving both children in their care.
They have worked with me and given me constant advice about my daughter’s allergies, ensuring she is still getting delicious, nutritious meals. My pre-schooler has developed a love for writing and drawing and is set up brilliantly to be starting school in September.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.810)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.810) out of 10 for Stationhouse Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.955 for Stationhouse Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (148 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 155 Ratings = 4.955
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.855 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Stationhouse Nursery is based on 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 76 number of registered child places is 15.2. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.2 = 0.855
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
