Personally for me, as a mother, I feel that Train Station Day Nursery has gone above and beyond for my child. They've been able to accommodate her needs in a loving and caring way. Like any parent, naturally, you're protective. The staff has met my standards on safety and the best part is the app. It's
allowed for me as the mother to have peace of mind. A quick glance and I know she's fed, nappy changed. It's a good school hence why I'm willing to travel the distance for my child's early development. Best nursery ever in my humble opinion.

Friendly staff, our child is always happy to go in and greets all staff with excitement.
The environment which our child is in is brilliant. She is always on the go, playing with water dough, rice etc.
Eats all the food provided and loves it, in turn helps myself when preparing meals for her.

As a first-time and very nervous mum this nursery has put my mind at ease. My daughter is always excited to attend nursery and see her favourite practitioners. My daughter has progressed with her speech, problem-solving, sharing and eating since starting. All staff are friendly during drop off and the
app is very easy to use.

We have been with the nursery for 4 months. The staff are very welcoming and genuinely enthusiastic about their jobs and getting to know my child. They have created an environment in which she feels comfortable. They have been especially accommodating since she has been in a cast.

I would just like to thank the staff for taking amazing care of my son. They all go above and beyond to accommodate his complex medical and educational needs. Nothing is ever too much and they are all always willing to learn new medical skills to keep my son safe. My son loves going to nursery and is
always excited to see the staff. So glad I chose to send my child to the Train Station Day Nursery.
The deputy manager has also been really supportive in helping my son to get into a Special Needs School. She has kept me fully informed of the process and what to expect. Thank you.

I am extremely happy with Train Station Day Nursery and how exceptional their care is for the children. There is a large team and all team members are friendly and professional - even the ones that do not work directly with my child are great and seem to know him anyway which is lovely! My son is always
excited to attend the nursery and when he comes home he is always happy and tired after such a busy and fun-filled day. There are lots of seasonal activities and different themes throughout the year and I was especially impressed with all the special and fun Christmas activities that were available for my child. The team work in partnership with us as parents to develop my child and focus on him personally with his needs and what he currently is working towards in terms of his development. Communication is clear and any queries are answered promptly via the app which is great for busy parents! So happy with this nursery!

I am incredibly happy with how my daughter is being cared for at Train Station Day Nursery. She comes home so happy and now counting, singing and creating sentences on her own.
She loves coming and seeing all the staff at the nursery and often shouts their names at home. The feedback given to me by
staff every day is detailed and any issues are conveyed at the earliest convenience.
I couldn't as for any more from the staff, they manage my daughter's allergies very well and any concerns they immediately let us know and manage this with me. Fantastic placement.

Train Station Day Nursery is a fantastic nursery. All staff are polite and professional, a very friendly team and work with us on development with my son. My son absolutely loves going and gets plenty of attention. At food times, the lad eats better than me, very jealous! I love the fact we have insights
into what he is doing via the app and brings home plenty of crafts he has done. It is great to see my son thriving under their care. Had no problems, and highly recommend Train Station Day Nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.918)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.918) out of 10 for Train Station Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.951 for Train Station Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (331 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 347 Ratings = 4.951

  • 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 4.967 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Train Station Day Nursery is based on 29 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 150 number of registered child places is 30. 29 Positive Reviews ÷ 30 = 0.967

  • 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.
