  • The Old Station Nursery Marlow, Marlow
The Old Station Nursery Marlow has recently undertaken a huge refurbishment. Finished in October 2023, the setting has been carefully designed to meet the individual and everchanging needs and developmental stages of each age group.

The organic enhanced nursery has an immersive curriculum where children actively engage in nurturing plants, tending to their growth, and harvesting produce, acquiring valuable insights into plant life, various fruits and vegetables, and culinary techniques. The nursery is also cookery-enhanced, highlighting specially designed cooking and baking tools prioritising children's safety. The skills learnt through cooking can be utilised across other aspects of life.

Each room at Marlow is equipped to support the learning and development of children at different ages, and the nursery has created an environment that allows children to develop relationships with themselves, others and the world around them. The nursery follows a Montessori inspired approach alongside its Forest School enhancement, which is all about exploration and supported risk-taking through learner-inspired hands-on experiences in a natural setting.

Wonderful nursery with the best staff!


Our daughter has settled so well and has a great relationship with the staff. We know that she's in a safe loving environment.


Facility is brand new and modern.


Great communication with parents - we get detailed updates everyday with photos of the fun

she's having.


Couldn't recommend more.

Our daughter started just after turning 1 in April 2024 and has been there for nearly a year now. I cannot fault the nursery at all.


We looked at many nurseries in the area and nothing compared to TOSN. The staff are incredible and are so hands on with the children.


Our daughter has learnt so

much and absolutely loves attending nursery. She's made so many little friends and we know when we leave her she's in safe hands and happy.


The garden was a huge selling point for us along with the indoor facilities being extremely clean.


Would highly recommend to all.

I have had such a positive experience with my son. He joined at 11 months old and was a very nervous baby who suffered with separation anxiety. The nursery staff were hugely accommodating, reassuring and flexible to meet his needs. He now adores going and I cannot recommend it highly enough!

Thank you for your kind review. We're so glad to hear that your son has overcome his nervousness and is now enjoying his time at nursery. It's great to know that our staff's support made a positive difference. We truly appreciate your recommendation!

We are so pleased to have enrolled our little boy into the Marlow Nursery - the carers are all so supportive, loving and friendly. They really care and look after all the children and make it feel like a family.
Its so hard leaving your little one for the day but they make it so much easier and our
boy loves going in, seeing his carers and friends!
They are always doing great activities and learnings which they share back with us at pickup/dropoff and on the App.
We highly recommend this nursery and thank you for all you do for our little ones!

Our experience at Old Station Nursery has been incredible. Our baby boy settled in very fast and instantly had a great connection with his key worker. We have always felt comforted that he's in great hands and has had a wonderful day. We love that we are kept updated with what he's been up to and sent
pictures (lots of fun activities). We would recommend the nursery to anyone!

The Old Station Nursery has been great since day one. We're so glad we opted for them. The manager and the whole team take such good care of our little boy and he's flourished since joining a few months ago. He loves attending and has a wonderful bond with the team which is lovely to see - as do seemingly
all kids who go to The Old Station. As a nanny, I can't recommend it enough and couldn't be happier. Best indoor-outdoor space.

We are so happy with the nursery. Since it had the refurb, the facilities are amazing, and so are the staff. Our daughter has a great bond with all the staff, especially two particular members of staff! They are very accommodating to our daughter’s dietary requirements. I would definitely recommend
The Old Station Nursery Marlow.

Our 18-month daughter started at the Old Station Nursery in Marlow a month ago. The staff there are absolutely amazing and they helped her settle in her new nursery very quickly. She is now happy to go to nursery every day, says goodbye to us at the door and runs inside to find her teachers and friends.
The environment is so calming with plenty of nice toys for the little ones. She learns so much, coming home everyday with new words and things she learned to do there. The garden is fantastic with plenty of activities. Big sunny spacious rooms and renovated facilities. The food is healthy with plenty of options everyday. Overall, we are so happy to see our little one develop so well and being so happy there!

My little boy started at 10 months and I was very anxious but the nursery staff have been absolutely lovely and put me at ease. The rooms for each group are large and beautifully decorated. Toys are age-appropriate and well thought about. I like that they take kids outdoors most of the days irrespective
of the weather. So far I am a happy parent of a very happy boy at Old Station Nursery Marlow. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Reply from Joanne Wright, Chief Marketing Officer at The Old Station Nursery Marlow

This nursery is fantastic. The staff is loving, caring and kind. I can always have a chat with the staff and ask questions. I feel taken seriously as a first-time mum and my wishes are heard and respected. Our son loves going there and it gives me peace of mind to see him so happy at nursery. The Manager
and the nursery team have been absolutely brilliant with our little boy and he loves seeing them every morning we drop him off! Can’t recommend this nursery highly enough.

We have been blown away by the staff and facilities at The Old Station Nursery Marlow and the management of the overall nursery group. The staff are so warm and welcoming that my little one - 22 months - gives me a quick hug and then runs in to play in the morning. I've also noticed a huge difference
in his speech and critical thinking since starting in August 2023. The facilities are newly renovated with all new features and toys and each room is full of age-appropriate activities. We are so happy with our decision to move our son to this nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.948)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.948) out of 10 for The Old Station Nursery Marlow is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.948 for The Old Station Nursery Marlow is calculated as follows: ( (238 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 250 Ratings = 4.948

  • 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 Marlow is based on 21 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 64 number of registered child places is 12.8, which has been reached with 21 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.
