The attached garden is a lovely addition, offering ample space for outdoor play and exploration that sparks children's imaginations and love for the natural world. At the nursery, outdoor play is a priority, and children spend plenty of time in the fresh air.

As usual, since we joined the nursery, I’m happy for the choice that we have made. My son is getting better from different points of view and many of the achievements are reached at the nursery. So thanks to the staff!

All the staff are amazing and supportive. Communication has always been brilliant, I remember ringing after every drop-off for the first couple of weeks just to 'check in'. They were always happy to chat and assured me he was fine. As a parent, you have access to an app where you can see various information
about their day but most importantly photos! Each day they do a varied amount of activities and also get the opportunity to play outside. The staff also take the time to focus on each child's interests as individuals too. The food always smells lush and the staff regularly tell me he asks for more! My son is currently being toilet trained and they have been great with supporting him. I couldn't be prouder of the little boy he's becoming and nursery are a huge part of this! I owe all the staff a big thank you but a special thanks to his current key worker and the manager. You are all a part of our family and we will be extremely sad to leave next year! The best nursery in Gloucester!

Our daughter loves to go to Mottershead Drive nursery. The staff made her feel welcome from the start. They listen to her and take her seriously in her wishes, if possible. She is always in good spirits when we pick her up. We know that the staff would call us immediately if something was not right.
This is very reassuring. Mottershead Drive is a smaller nursery than the other ones in the area, so if you are after a nursery with a family feel, where everyone knows your child and you by name, then you are right at Mottershead Drive.

My son has been going to this nursery for 3 years and I can see clearly that Motterhead Drive branch dropped from excellent to satisfactory. I see a lot of chaos since the last manager left. Mixed up clothes, wet kids, fewer details about food and sleep and overall, almost no photo updates on the parents'
app. I think this branch suddenly took much more kids than they can handle. I still like this place, it just saddens me to see it different in that way. But I do still recommend it to NATO contingents, as ever.

Reply from Beth Lewendon, Marketing Coordinator at The Old Station Nursery Mottershead Drive, Innsworth

Thank you for your feedback! Our team take great pride in their learning environments and so your comments will be passed on to them, so that they can improve on the tidiness of the rooms. As a group, we are always trying to improve our communication with our families. We aim to provide high quality and regular updates through our social media channels, monthly nursery newsletter, bi-monthly group newsletter and via our parent app. Following the recent changes to the EYFS in September 2021, the number of updates that you will receive on the parent app will have reduced slightly to once per week. The new EYFS curriculum aims to reduce the nursery team’s paperwork/admin workload so that the staff can spend more valuable time with the children in their care! Thank you once again for your comments!

We have been very lucky with the key workers our son has had during his time at Mottershead Drive nursery. The keyworker was fantastic in the 0 to 2 room and the keyworker is equally amazing in the 2-4 room. Both take the time to give great feedback so we understand what kind of day he has had and how
he is developing, overall.

Staff are very good at their jobs and look after my child very well. I will recommend The Old Station Nursery, Mottershead Drive. My child enjoys being at preschool and can recognise numbers. My child is very independent since she has been going to preschool and I would like to extend my profound gratitude
to the teachers.

Since reviewing last time, I am really happy to see some changes have been made. The staff seem happier and have time to chat. I feel they really know my little boy which I think is really important. He is always happy with the food choices and loves all the staff members who come to the door to greet
him. I feel my little boy is safe at nursery. From looking at photos on eyLog, the environment looks really inviting and he always looks like he’s having the best time. A great idea to move the big ones downstairs for more free flow outside - perfect for my outdoorsy child! I had noticed he’d been coming home with a soiled nappy but since I mentioned it, this has not happened.

My son has been attending this nursery since January, and I am so pleased with the decision that I made to send him to this nursery. Even though at the beginning my son was reluctant to attend nursery, he soon overcomes this thanks to your supportive and amazing staff. I can't speak highly enough of
the level of care and dedication my son receives when he is at nursery, I know he is in safe hands.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.926)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.926) out of 10 for The Old Station Nursery Mottershead Drive, Innsworth 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 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.926 for The Old Station Nursery Mottershead Drive, Innsworth is calculated as follows: ( (279 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 299 Ratings = 4.926

  • 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 Mottershead Drive, Innsworth is based on 25 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 46 number of registered child places is 9.2, which has been reached with 25 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.
