Stratford Nursery provides a home-from-home experience to ensure the children feel safe and secure to explore their environment. 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 nursery has main room and a connecting room for nap time, where the lights can be dimmed, calm music can be played, and a cosy atmosphere is able to be created. There is also a separate nappy changing area and kitchenette within the room, so everything is easily accessible.

The nursery is equipped with low level furniture and resources that encourage the children to develop individually, with staff available to support and guide them where needed. Activities are planned around the child’s individual interests and changing needs.

Outside there is a large outdoor area that is undercover, so that children are able to explore outside in all weathers. There is also a safe and dry space for the younger babies who are still crawling and learning to walk.

Very happy with the service and I am very happy with my child's development during the time at the nursery. The staff is very friendly and helpful and my child love’s all of them. I would definitely take my other son as well there!

The staff at the nursery are lovely. They really care about the children and take the time to get to know them. They build close relationships so the children trust and love them.
Unfortunately, the price of the nursery has gone up significantly since OSN took over and their communication isn't great.
Despite the price increase, there is no sign that the OSN group plan to improve the facilities or resources for staff and children - besides superficially adding their branding to windows, signs etc. However, this takes nothing away from the amazing staff (inclusive of the nursery manager) and their efforts with the children.

Thank you for your review, we are delighted to hear how well your child has settled in our nursery!
As a group, we review our fees annually in order to take into consideration rising costs and staff wages linked to inflation. Our teams take a considerable amount of time reviewing our fees and we do benchmark our nursery fees closely with our local market to ensure that we remain good value for money.
We also have some exciting and new developments coming to the nursery soon.
Thank you again for your review.

My child has bonded well with her key worker and has been encouraged to play with other children and independently, She enjoys her time there, and the staff are great at sending updates via the app so we can see her progress. Would highly recommend it.

The staff are friendly, caring and kind. The activities are varied and children have access to the garden at all times. My daughter loves attending preschool and she is sufficiently prepared to begin school in Sept.

My husband and I are very happy with our choice of nursery for our baby girl. She started at The Old Station Nursery Stratford Upon Avon 3 months ago when she was 8 months old. She is really enjoying it and loves the staff. I was so worried about putting my baby into nursery so young but it has exceeded
my expectations. We enjoy getting the daily updates on the app and love receiving photos of the activities she is getting involved with.
Thank you to all the staff at The Old Station Nursery Stratford Upon Avon.

Simply wonderful staff that really care about the kids. My child has attended for a couple of years, always had support and updates from staff. Just a wonderful setting. I will miss the smiles at drop off and pick up times.

A fantastic nursery! The staff are extremely caring, passionate and committed to what they do and without them, our son wouldn’t be doing as well as he is today. From the first visit, we knew it was the right place for our son to go. He settled in well and his key-worker/s took the time to really get
to know him and he loved going. They have been outstanding in everything they do and the support they have given has been exceptional to us as parents and to our little boy.

A fantastic nursery with outstanding outdoor facilities including an allotment that the children tend to. My little boy has made great bonds with staff and friends and has come on leaps and bounds. Brilliant staff, activities, facilities and very very happy children.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.658)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.658) out of 10 for The Old Station Nursery Stratford-upon-Avon 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 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.658 for The Old Station Nursery Stratford-upon-Avon is calculated as follows: ( (244 Excellents x 5) + (70 Goods x 4) + (21 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 336 Ratings = 4.658

  • 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 Stratford-upon-Avon is based on 28 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 45 number of registered child places is 9, which has been reached with 28 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.
