With a devoted and small team, this exceptional childcare setting provides a warm and welcoming atmosphere where children old can grow at their own pace. 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.

Each room has been carefully designed to support the growth and development of each child, with babies starting in a safe and comfortable space that encourages exploration and learning through play. Soft play equipment, sensory baskets, and musical instruments are all available for little ones to use and enjoy.

As children progress to the 2-4 room, they have free-flow access to the garden, where they can play and learn with age-appropriate resources such as a digital computer table, role play area, and arts and crafts area. The nursery also focuses on preparing children for their journey to school.

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.

Children will thrive under the high-quality care of the passionate team at The Old Station Nursery Mottershead Drive.

Mottershead is like a home from home. The professional staff work really hard to foster a caring and inclusive atmosphere in which our child is thriving. He cannot wait to get to nursery in the morning, and more often than not doesn't want to leave! I wholeheartedly recommend this nursery.

Lovely friendly nursery with caring proactive staff. They have fantastic facilities and activities but a small homely feel with small classes and consistent staff. My son has formed a real bond with the team and it is wonderful to drop him off with and pick him up from the same person who really knows
him. They have been really supportive of my son’s medical needs and very proactive at making sure they have everything in place for him and flexible with individual requirements such as food. They keep clear records and it’s been fantastic to see his progress since he started; it’s been a relief to go to work knowing he’s having such a fun time and staff are able to give him such a range of opportunities I wouldn’t be able to do at home! Everything included in the fee which also makes it much easier. We absolutely love how diverse the nursery is; so pleased we chose here. Every time we pop in the children are happy and staff are engaging with them. He is very happy here.

My wife and I are extremely pleased with the nursery at Mottershead Drive. Our daughter loves going and we always feel that she is safe and well looked after. Her communication has come on in leaps and bounds whilst at nursery and she is fond of the staff who are so wonderful with her. We really feel
like we definitely made the right choice in entrusting the nursery with the care of our daughter.

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.
