I’m very pleased with the nursery, and how they take care of my child. My child always comes back happy and is always excited to go to school in the morning, and the teachers are always friendly and explain what my child does during the day. Overall it is an excellent nursery.

My nearly three-year-old twins have been at The Old Station Nursery since nine months old and absolutely love it! The staff are amazing. I always feel well-informed about the twins' daily activities and their development. The independence they have already gained from attending the setting is great.
It is lovely now after pick-up hearing all about their day in their own words, always sounds like a fun-packed day! I was recommended the nursery twice by a friend and a colleague, and I would now have no hesitation in recommending how great the nursery is.

Having had my child attend for the last three weeks, I can say without a doubt, that this is a phenomenally well-run nursery. The staff in the 0-2 year rooms exude professionalism, enthusiasm and an enduring desire to ensure the quality of care of the children is at a constant high. As a first-time
mother, the friendly and encouraging advice and information the leading staff offer me on a daily basis at drop off and pick up on my child's progress and ways I can contribute is invaluable. The management team are excellent with clear, fast communication and flexibility with requests for changes to my child's nursery schedule. This nursery includes all amenities such as nappies, formula, medicine and food that my child requires making it not only extraordinarily good value for the exceptional quality of care my child receives but also an enjoyable experience for myself not having to sort out and bring all these in myself. I would highly recommend enrolling a child into this wonderful place!

My son has only been attending nursery since August, but we have been incredibly impressed so far. As first-time parents, we were both worried about leaving our son, but we needn't have been. He absolutely loves nursery and can't wait to get in when we drop him off. His key worker has been amazing,
and I know she and all the staff in the baby room take great care of him. I look forward to continuing to watch my son grow throughout his time there and would highly recommend the nursery to other parents.

The nursery have been brilliant with our little one. They talked us through his settling in and both the rooms he's been in. Communication has been brilliant. They've been the best support as first-time parents. My little one has grown in confidence during his time here.

My 19 months old son has been going to The Old Station Nursery for 7 months now and we absolutely love it! Amazing staff with so much heart and a caring mindset. They are also very flexible and have great hours. All of the teachers in the baby room love having my son and he loves seeing them too. His
key person is an absolute godsend, so loving and caring. She not only provides amazing care to him, but she also taught him so much already - even how to fall asleep on his own for his lunch nap, something that we still struggle to do ourselves at home! I can see the growth and learning every day. The management is also really committed to providing a safe, fun, and loving environment and we’re very thankful to the manager and the whole team at OSN. It’s so nice to know that my son is in such a caring environment while he isn’t home, can't recommend this nursery enough!

Both my kids go here and the staff maintain excellent communication links with parents and they can understand the actual needs of the kids. The staff deal with every and each emotional need of the kids and arrange different setups for kid according to their needs. I do recommend this nursery setting

Over the last two years, both my children have loved The Old Station Nursery, Gibson Rd. They have adored their keyworkers in all three rooms, who have done a brilliant job of updating the parents' app so we know what they've been up to. They have loads of fun, and there's a lot of learning snuck in
there. The staff have all been incredibly kind and patient getting them settled and somehow they can even get them to eat vegetables. Thank you so much to all the staff involved!

I have two children at the nursery now, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it anyone! I have complete trust in the staff that not only are the children's physical needs met, but their social, emotional and educational needs are too. I am really pleased with how the nursery communicate with us - the
level of feedback we receive about what the children are up to during the week is great, and staff are always very responsive to any questions we have had. Ultimately, all I really want from nursery is for my children to be cared for in the same way as they would be at home, and I have no doubt that this is the case!

This nursery is just the best. I have had a child in this setting for 5 years now and throughout the Covid 19 pandemic, they worked tirelessly to provide support to me and my family. The staff are committed and dedicated and help me out at short notice which I am so, so grateful for. I cannot thank
everyone enough and would not hesitate to recommend this nursery setting to anyone.

My son has enjoyed his time at Innsworth nursery from the very beginning. He started as a little baby (just 7 months!) and has gone through to Tots and almost pre-school. He has grown and developed such an appetite for learning, not just in relation to education, but also socially. It has been such
a lifesaver in the throws of Covid lockdowns to know he is in a safe and loving environment, and able to be a young child as much as possible with an ongoing pandemic. The variety of activities that the children are able to experience week in and week out is vast and enjoyable. There is great food offered, my son regularly eats everything and seconds! The outdoor space has lots of great things to do for children, all the best fun is dirty and they are always trying new things. I am kept up to date with photos and regularly have conversations with his key person. My son has developed into a confident young child, thanks massively to the care and support he has with Innsworth nursery.

My son has settled in really well. Being born in lockdown, I was worried about how he would interact with so many children, but all the staff have made it really smooth and as easy as possible and he has even learnt to say the staff names! He has learnt so many new things, including dancing and is developing
really well thanks to the care he receives.

My son loves his nursery - Old Station nursery in Innsworth. All the carers are very understanding and professional. My son always comes home happy and full of enjoyment of what he has learnt in his group. There seems to be a lot of singing and dancing going on which is wonderful! Keep up the good work.
The only small thing I would like to highlight is the cleanliness of the outdoor space (sorry can't comment on the indoor space). Please make some improvements on cleaning the outdoor area.

The highest of praise that I can give for a superb Nursery that I would recommend to my closest friends. Quite simply, a wonderful place that has fantastic staff who care about the children and the things they do at the nursery. My son loved it and my daughter is loving it now. A report is verbally
provided at the end of each session which is a great way to know what they've been doing. Totally, totally recommended.

My daughter has been enrolled at The Old Station since she was about 9 months old, she is now 3 and in the pre-school room. The nursery is such a friendly, safe place. All the staff are fantastic, professional, friendly and informative. Everyone knows everyone, especially if a child has grown up in
the nursery, moving through each room. It is a wonderful setting and has a range of equipment to meet the needs of children of all ages. I know my child is safe and happy there when I leave her to go to work. I would absolutely recommend this nursery to anyone.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.696)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.696) out of 10 for The Old Station Nursery Innsworth 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 22 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 4.696 for The Old Station Nursery Innsworth is calculated as follows: ( (207 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 263 Ratings = 4.696

  • 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 Innsworth 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 94 number of registered child places is 18.8, 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.
