  • The Old Station Nursery Warwick, Warwick
The Old Station Nursery Warwick is located within the grounds of Heathcote Primary School, allowing children to become familiar with their surroundings and make a smooth transition to school. 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.

The nursery has been designed to allow children to explore different areas of interest throughout the day, including creative areas, a home corner, and a relaxing book corner, and encourages independent learning by allowing children to lead their own learning through their interests. The nursery provides opportunities for children to progress and make their own choices, helping them gain confidence and prepare for the transition to school.

Outside, there is plenty of space for children to explore a range of activities, including a climbing frame, tyres, and a mud kitchen, and they also have access to the school's facilities such as the larger field and playground.

A fantastic nursery which is very well managed and run by a member of staff and her team. My son is very happy there. The outdoor space and opportunities are amazing. The level of care for the children is second to none. Highly recommend this nursery.

A lovely preschool where all the staff are really friendly and helpful. Our daughter has a great time there and they really take pride in their job and ensure that the children are happy and taken care of. They go the extra mile every day and really get to know the children so that they can attend to
their needs and preferences.

Our boy has had the best care here.
The preschool always had lots of new creative activities and focused on their emotions and kindness values.
There was always new activities, from yoga, to gardening, to caring for animals.
The transition into Heathcote school was made very easy too, especially
with the same wrap around care provided as when in preschool. All the key workers were very engaging and made endless paper aeroplane as demanded by our kid.
Thank You for the excellent care!

Reply from Jo Bamforth, Marketing Manager at The Old Station Nursery Warwick

Thank you for your kind words! We're so glad to hear that your child enjoyed the wide range of activities and the focus on emotions and kindness. It's great to know the transition to Heathcote School was smooth and that the wraparound care has been helpful.

My eldest son attended here for his preschool year when it was formally known with another name in 2018. When I had my 2nd child I was straight on to the manager to arrange for him to join there too. The girls are fantastic! My eldest was more confident and outgoing but my youngest is the opposite and
I knew he would get the care and nurture he desperately needed and I wasn't wrong. Prior to him starting here he did 12 months in another setting and was a very emotional boy and was nonverbal in the setting. Now every morning he hugs me goodbye and stays for his full session unlike previously and the best part is he's happy the whole time! My child's classmate is the daughter of a very special lady that was the manager of the nursery during my eldest's time at the nursery and I was so pleased to see her still there whilst her mum is working for the same nursery in a different location. Evidently, this is not a nursery with a high staff turnover like others I have had experience of. By far the best!.

Our time at TOSN has been fantastic. My first child attended when he turned three, my second is currently there and my third will start when she's three. The staff have been outstanding, I cannot praise them enough. They've been understanding, gentle, and my children thrived under their care.

I can not speak highly enough of this nursery!
All the staff are brilliant and have worked absolute wonders with my little girl.
When she started she would only eat toast, now she enjoys every single meal she has at nursery! They have worked with her and us and have worked their magic.
She loves
the activities, especially dough disco and yoga.
She looks forward to every single day that she goes and I honestly think she would rather be there than at home!
Highly recommend.

Reply from Joanne Wright, Chief Marketing Officer at The Old Station Nursery Warwick

Dough disco and yoga sound like loads of fun! Glad she's enjoying it.

The best nursery by far. A home away from home. The staff there are very understanding and helpful and always think about what is best for the child. I feel completely comfortable with the choice of leaving my son there and confident that he is happy to go there to learn and play.

Three children have used this nursery setting. The Old Station Nursery is exceptional and very well-led. Children are engaged at the door, throughout the day and come home happy and excited for the next day.

My son attends three days a week and moved from his previous nursery a few months ago. I have seen a huge positive change in his confidence since starting. The staff are all amazing and brilliant with the kids. Overall a really great experience, couldn't fault them. Also love the fact they offer school
hours which makes things easier when I have other children.

Reply from Beth Lewendon, Marketing Coordinator at The Old Station Nursery Warwick

We're delighted to witness the positive changes in your son's confidence! It's heartening to hear that our dedicated staff have made a positive impact. We appreciate your kind words and are pleased to offer the convenience of school hours. Thank you for sharing your positive experience!

Great nursery for our son, amazing staff who always take the time to explain everything our child has been doing that day. Never feel rushed and always feel like any questions or concerns are answered and heard. The only thing that would make it even better is if there was allocated parking for the
nursery itself as sometimes it can get very busy with the school rush. Everything else is perfect!

Excellent stay-and-play section at the nursery. Great activities for the kids according to the season holiday including messy play and arts and crafts. All staff was friendly as always and it was fun interacting with my child within the nursery. She was very excited to show me where she usually plays.

Reply from Beth Lewendon, Marketing Coordinator at The Old Station Nursery Warwick

The staff at this nursery are great. Really kind and caring and friendly. They do some great activities with the children.
The only downsides are the outside space could be bigger and also the food can be repetitive at times. The back office staff need to improve as invoices are often late or incorrect.

Reply from Beth Lewendon, Marketing Coordinator at The Old Station Nursery Warwick

My daughter has been attending this pre school for nearly a year now. She has come on so much. She's always happy when she's dropped off and picked up. The staff go above and beyond with the children. The pre school is a home from home environment. She's always learning something new and loves to tell
me about her day. The staff keep us informed with what's going on. Lovely pre school and lovely staff!

The staff are amazing! kind and caring! We are pleased with the level of care our boy is experiencing. He is happy and enjoying his time at nursery, however, it would be nice if the outside space would be bigger and more interactive-outdoor space that could provide them with the space to explore, experiment
and discover.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.845)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.845) out of 10 for The Old Station Nursery Warwick is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.845 for The Old Station Nursery Warwick is calculated as follows: ( (148 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.845

  • 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 Warwick is based on 14 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 28 number of registered child places is 5.6, which has been reached with 14 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.
