  • The Old Station Nursery High Wycombe, High Wycombe
A newly refurbished nursery, The Old Station Nursery High Wycombe, has been carefully designed to support children's development in a natural and engaging learning space. The modern and engaging rooms provide an inclusive space where children are free to play, learn and explore.

With space for up to 30 children per day, the smaller size makes the nursery unique, allowing them to offer a welcoming space where the team are able to get to know each child in their care. 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.

Recognising the importance of outdoor play, The Old Station Nursery High Wycombe ensures children have plenty of chance to explore the world around them and a brand new garden space is soon to be added to the nursery.

The Old Station Nursery High Wycombe is ideally located on the grounds of Manor Farm School so that when the time comes, the transition to ‘big school’ is as smooth and seamless as possible. They work closely with parents to ensure that the children are exceptionally prepared for their next stage of learning.

My son toke a while to settle however the staff have been very patient and kind. He lives attending as he's always talking about going to nursery in the weekends and his teachers. He's learnt to be more independent whilst attending in the short period of time. We appreciate the effort from the staff
!

Old station nursery is the first nursery my son has been at, and I can't recommend them enough! All the staff are friendly and helpful, they go above and beyond to make sure my son has the best time there. They regularly plan sensory activities and craft activities to keep the children entertained and
to help them learn new textures and they have a lovely garden space with loads of activities. They provide amazing on site cooked meals by their chef and update the parent app to show snapshots, meals, naps and nappy changes so I know exactly what my son has got up to during the day. I couldn't ask for more when it comes to caring for my child, I highly recommend old station nursery! The communication is brilliant and they've really helped both my son and I have a positive experience. Thank you to all the staff and to the manager for everything!

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at The Old Station Nursery High Wycombe

My daughter has been going to this nursery full-time since she was 9 months old. She recently moved into the over 2s room and continues to love it! We are happy to send her there and enjoy seeing her learn from all the activities as well as the interaction she has with the staff and other children.

Our son joined the nursery this month, and the team couldn't have done more to ensure he settled well. He absolutely loves his time at nursery, and we are so impressed with the level of communication from the staff. They have been so accommodating and welcoming. We couldn't recommend TOSN more highly.

Our daughter has settled so well. The staff have been so supportive and welcomed her into the new nursery setting. The care she gets when here is very home from home and maternal. It's a lovely place, the staff are very caring and assertive. The fresh food ensures she's fed well and I love the variety.
Happy daughter, happy mummy.

Our youngest has been at nursery since September and we are so pleased with the way she has started to adapt to nursery. She was very upset when dropping off in the morning for a while but with the help, care and patience of the staff, she has changed to now wriggling free from us to get a cuddle with
her key worker.

Absolutely love The Old Station Nursery High Wycombe, so much so we moved to Oxford and still commute, with both our children so happily settled here. My second child started in September and has settled in really well. I love the daily updates from his session and feel happy knowing he spends his days
with such a caring, attentive team.

Our 7-month-old daughter started with the nursery in September and the team's dedication to providing a nurturing environment has made a hugely positive impact, and we are thrilled to see how well she has settled in.
The nursery has a really inviting atmosphere and has a fantastic garden area which
definitely supports her daily experience. The staff's genuine affection and attentiveness have created a sense of security and comfort for her, and we value the time and care they provide.
We also appreciate the regular communication from the management, as it demonstrates their commitment to the well-being of the children and the smooth operation of the nursery. The parent app updates with photos are a great way to stay connected and informed about her daily activities, providing us with peace of mind as a parent.
Looking forward to continuing to build a relationship with the nursery over the coming years and would definitely recommend it to others.

I arrived to collect my niece, and the security and the checks carried out were second to none, with ID being checked and also a password which was arranged with the parent. I haven't attended nursery for some time but the changes in the garden and environments inside, seem to have made a huge impact
on the children's learning and development. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.670)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.670) out of 10 for The Old Station Nursery High Wycombe is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 46 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 44 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.670 for The Old Station Nursery High Wycombe is calculated as follows: ( (408 Excellents x 5) + (108 Goods x 4) + (27 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 549 Ratings = 4.67

  • b) 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Old Station Nursery High Wycombe is based on 44 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 30 number of registered child places is 6, which has been reached with 44 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
