My daughter has attended Old Station for the last two years and my youngest has recently joined the baby room. I cannot fault this nursery. The staff are passionate and enthusiastic, they are always thinking of creative ideas to engage the children. The nursery really focuses on developing and encouraging
the children, paying attention to next steps and supporting them to achieve these. Parents are kept fully engaged with their children's progress, through online journals and they are always open to feedback to improve the nursery further. The nursery offers varied and healthy meals which change seasonally. In addition, the nursery invests in extra-curricular activities such as tatty bumpkin yoga and cookery classes etc which further add to the children's enjoyment and development. It also actively encourages the children to get outside and explore the outdoors at every opportunity. Old Station is truly deserving of the recent outstanding rating.

The Old Station Nursery provides a warm, caring, safe environment for little ones. We have loved the staff and they have created a lovely dynamic amongst the children where they help and care about one another. The facilities are clean and bright, lovely outdoor space, and always a large variety of
activities to keep the children engaged and learning.

My children have now attended The Old Station Nursery for over 5 years in total and I have always been caring, conscientious, pro- active and have really taken an interest in the happiness and development of my children. I have never had cause for complaint and from quite early on, myself and my children
felt comfortable about them going to nursery - they have always had a good day and I have always received excellent feedback on their day from staff. My only issue was that I wasn't able to use government funded hours over 2 days but the fact that I overlooked this is a testament to this nursery and its excellent staff.

This is a first class nursery and I recommended without hesitation. Out two sons have been at this nursery since they were little and have received outstanding care. We as a family have been supported whole heartedly by management (manager is excellent) and by the most caring and devoted team of staff
parents could wish for. They care for each child (and family) as individuals and always have their best interests at the centre of all they do. Outstanding thank you for everything we are sad to finish nursery life. Have recommended to several friends already without hesitation.

My child has come on in her development since (March) starting at The Old Station Nursery. She is a very happy child after a rocky start due to never being left with anyone. Myself as a mother am very happy with how my child has been helped to settle in and how the staff and management keep me updated
and out of their way to help me.

My son has been attending the old station Innsworth since September 2015 we were a bit nervous at first with him going to nursery at two as with our first son we waited till he was three. The staff made us feel extremely welcome and at ease.our son has came on leaps and bounds and we are amazed by his
speech. His key worker goes the extra mile and always does reviews and pictures on tapestry which we love seeing. The nursery is always clean and tidy and the staff always friendly the manager will also always pop out to say good morning . The only thing I would suggest is when new staff start the parents are informed presently so we are aware. Other then that I can't rate the old station highly enough if you are looking for a nursery that goes that extra mile this is the one!.

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.
