The Old Station Nursery Bridgetown, located within the grounds of Bridgetown Primary School, offers a seamless transition to school life. 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.

Offering a warm and welcoming setting, the nursery boasts abundant natural resources across indoor and outdoor spaces which children are free to move between. In the spacious garden, there are three different areas for children to explore, including a climbing zone with a slide and climbing tyres, and an outdoor classroom for structured activities. Children can also explore the Forest School site twice a week, deepening their connection with the outdoors.

Independence is highly promoted and children are encouraged to choose their preferred activities and even serve themselves during mealtimes. This fosters confidence and equips them with essential skills for school.

The Old Station Nursery Bridgetown offers before and after-school sessions (3-11yrs) with various activities, from cookery and arts and crafts to group games and homework support. Children also benefit from access to two playgrounds with climbing equipment, a sports field and an astro turf sports area. During inclement weather, the school hall is used for indoor games.

My daughter started at The Old Station Nursery Bridgetown in September 2024. She has settled in really well, has good relationships with the staff and made friends. Her confidence and speech has improved. The staff are loving and caring and provide lots of activities, particularly, messy play, art,
cooking, dancing, French club. Lots of outside play too. Regular updates and photos are posted on the app and via email. Parents are encouraged to be involved in stay and plays, charity events and parent evenings. It is preparing our daughter well for school.

Lovely setting, staff and management genuinely interested in the children's wellbeing; children have the opportunity to take part in diverse learning activities: counting, storytelling, den building, science experiments, cooking, dance and yoga. My son enjoys his time there, reluctant to leave some
days... Parents receive regular updates about the daily activities and learning milestones. They have recently opened the holiday club, booked for summer too! Definitely recommending the setting for all preschoolers!

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at The Old Station Nursery Bridgetown

We aim to offer experiences and opportunities that enable children to become independent, confident, and curious learners. It is lovely to read how your son is enjoying his time and that you are happy with the communication from our dedicated team. Thank you for recommending our setting!

The Old Station Nursery looks after our daughter at preschool full time alone with our eldest at after school club. The team is great and the girls love it. We know they're in safe hands and the activities they get involved in are so creative and with learning in mind. It's a great setting with fabulous
staff. Thank you!

My son started this preschool in April this year and he has grown in confidence and his learning is coming on so well. He has been supported by all the staff and they are just great. I would definitely recommend this preschool to anyone. I cannot fault them and I am so happy with the care they are providing.

Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at The Old Station Nursery Bridgetown

My daughter joined Bridgetown Preschool in November 2023, just after her third birthday. She was initially nervous as she didn’t know anyone else and was the youngest child there. However, the staff have been wonderful in helping her to settle and grow in confidence. She absolutely loves going in and
misses it during the school holidays! She has made a lovely group of friends and she enjoys participating in the wide range of activities offered. She loved celebrating Chinese New Year and looks forward to forest school every Thursday. The staff are warm, caring and knowledgeable staff always communicate well and have been at the end of the phone if there is anything to chat about. I feel the preschool is giving her an excellent grounding and building strong foundations before she begins primary school.

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

Forest school is definitely a highlight of the day. We're delighted that your daughter settled and is receiving great grounding ready for primary school.

I’ve found our experience with the nursery to be good overall. The preschool is conveniently located and the teachers are approachable and caring. My son has been happy at the preschool and the teachers have helped to make him feel comfortable and they have really boosted his confidence. With their
dedication, my son is very prepared and eager to start his adventures in Reception!

Lovely well kept nursery with amazing helpful staff. The staff are always extremely welcoming and no query is left unanswered. The parent portal is great for knowing what your child has been learning and saying and also great to show framework assessments that have been done. Amazing nursery.

I can't comment on the nursery but this company took over the after-school club and the administration side was very poor. I was fed up with being chased for invoices that hadn't been sent and then being sent incorrect invoices (once for someone else!) and every time I contacted them it seemed to be
someone else's problem. My kids liked the staff on site but I found it overpriced and inflexible.

Thank you for your review, and we are sorry to hear that you've had issues with billing! We will ensure someone from the team contacts you to solve it. Thank you again!

The Old Station Nursery is a great place for children. My daughter especially likes it on Fridays when the manager is there. Definitely worth a look at if you are considering sending your child to preschool. Great access to the primary school as well.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.634)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.634) out of 10 for The Old Station Nursery Bridgetown is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.634 for The Old Station Nursery Bridgetown is calculated as follows: ( (108 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 142 Ratings = 4.634

  • 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 Bridgetown is based on 11 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 36 number of registered child places is 7.2, which has been reached with 11 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.
