The Filkins Nursery is a fantastic place for children. They have a spacious play area and a dedicated forest school, which my boys absolutely love. They enjoy sharing stories with me about their day and all the activities they do with their friends. My boys have grown and progressed significantly here, thanks to the amazing teachers who work tirelessly to create a safe and nurturing environment. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to all the teachers who continue to care for my boys.

This nursery has been absolutely brilliant! Our child loves it and all the staff. He adores his key person which is lovely to see. The team has been great, flexible, caring and ready to support however they can. The leadership is great, arranging necessary provisions for our child to move on to school and arranging meetings for us to follow our child's progress. We are so very grateful for the hard work that you do! The kindness and the humanity that you've shown us is really touching!

The Filkins Nursery has been nothing but a pleasure and joy for our son. He is always excited about going and loves spending time there. For us, it's been a thrill to see how he has grown and developed, with the reassuring knowledge that he has been well looked after and cared for. The staff are very friendly and caring, they have the children's best interests at heart. The nursery has an excellent range of equipment, activities, and facilities for the children, there is always something new and exciting to keep the children engaged while ensuring the focus is always around play. It's very reassuring to see whenever I drop off or collect my son that all I see are happy, engaged children having a lot of fun.

Absolute brilliant nursery. Nothing is ever too much for the staff. Our daughter has come on so far since starting at Filkins. We are so happy we found this nursery - couldn't recommend it more highly!

This is a wonderful nursery, my son is really happy here. He enjoys all the activities he takes part in and always has lots of stories to tell me about his day! The staff are brilliant and he has such a lovely bond with them, this really helped him settle in when he first started. Communication is brilliant - there's always time to have a chat with a member of staff at the end of the day and the staff are quick to respond if we have any queries via email. The nursery is such a warm and kind environment and we couldn't be happier with the care he receives, and all the fun he has!

The Old Station Nursery Filkins is a wonderful nursery and is in a beautiful small village setting. Such caring and fun staff who take great care in learning the child as an individual and their interests. Our daughter loves her days there. She has learnt a great amount and made a good group of friends.

My son has been going here for six months and I can honestly say, it is a fantastic nursery! The staff are brilliant and are so attentive to the children's needs. They are always thinking outside the box and organising events and visits for the children.

My daughter is so loved and looked after at The Old Station Nursery and they are wonderful at exploring learning with her in areas that she shows interest in. The staff are always thinking of new and interesting activities to keep learning fresh and exciting.

My boys are very happy about this nursery. The staff in the 2-3y room are super, all are wonderful, loving, caring and professional women. The atmosphere is welcoming, stimulating to learn and make friends. My children are excited and involved in the activities that are organized every day. The management, which I found not decisive on essential points, and the App need improvements. The kids spend a long time indoors when it's hot also due to a lack of shelter from the sun. I asked why there were no parasols outside for children and staff on the hottest days, I was told something new would be bought. Two weeks later, I requested an update, having not seen any new parasols/gazebos, and I was mistaken for someone who dictated what to do. I felt misunderstood and misjudged. Anyway, no solution has been found so far. The information about children's nutrition is insufficient and confusing. The snack menu and food should be present daily on the app. Moreover, the app is too little updated and not very exhaustive.

Recently we have had multiple issues with the nursery, mainly due to a lack of communication. But also we don't seem to be told a lot about how our child is doing. The parent zone app is rarely updated as well. For the money that is paid for the nursery I do find that since the nursery manager has changed the service that is being offered has altered massively, and unfortunately is not like the great service we used to receive.

Our child loves the Old Station Nursery, which is the main thing, he sometimes enquires at weekends if he can go to nursery today. The nursery itself is a wonderful little place with good outdoor and indoor spaces for him to play and learn and small enough for him to know all of his little classmates. The staff are wonderful and keep the children entertained all day, and also teach the children a great deal, most days we get told about what our little boy has learned that day, and what he did. It will be a sad day for him and us when he has to leave and move on to big school.

We are over the moon with the care we have been given at Filkins Old Station Nursery. My son goes in happy to see his key carer every day and comes out with so many stories of all the activities he's done though out the day. They are always very quick to respond if I have any questions and are very accommodating to our needs.

Filkins is a wonderful nursery. My son has been attending for 10 months and he has come on leaps and bounds with his confidence, speech and general social skills. The staff are so caring and nurturing and my son feels very secure and looked after there. The outdoor space is second to none which suits him well too. The communication between the nursery and parents is great and there is always a large range of activities on offer.

My daughter loved every day at Filkins Nursery, everyone is very caring and they have a fantastic variety of educational activities. Always prompt to respond to calls and the communication was just fantastic. I highly recommend it for the knowledge, skill and attitude. Thank you so much for the amazing things you have taught to my little one.

The nursery is fantastic! My daughter loves going, the updates we received are well constructed and give us a snapshot of her day. She loves her key worker and talks about her all the time at home, which to me shows the bond that she has created with her. The range of activities they do ranges from numeracy and literacy to Forest school. I can only recommend the nursery highly as I think it is a great setting for a child to start their education.

Fabulous nursery with such compassionate, reactive and knowledgable staff. Our little one has come on leaps and bounds since attending Filkins, especially in their confidence and language skills. Collecting my little one is a joy as they are always so happy and eager to tell me all about their day. We are also regularly updated with what they have been doing throughout the day, which we love, and it means we can continue with activities or learning ideas at home too.
25 April 2022
Filkins Nursery is a truly wonderful environment. Both of our children have attended the nursery and have enjoyed it immensely. The staff are kind and caring and they always have a great balance of learning and fun. It makes things so much easier knowing that, not only are the children safe and well looked after, but they're having a lovely time too. Huge thanks to all the staff at Filkins Nursery, can't recommend them highly enough.
25 April 2022
I have been blown away by the Filkins nursery. On day 4, my son was closing the nursery door in my face waving to me through the window whilst being held in his key worker's arms. The team have made him feel so secure and they have worked out how he ticks. The updates are great, so much effort is put into their days at the nursery. Thank you all so much!
25 April 2022
Lovely nursery where they really care! Great fun and educational activities, lots of variety and a mix of simple and complex ideas. In the moment teaching is really effective and our little boy loves going.

We wanted to change the days our granddaughter was at nursery. So asked the manager for information. It didn't take long for her to get back in touch with a solution that was a benefit to all, especially our granddaughter. I cannot speak highly enough of all the staff at the nursery. The love and care they show our granddaughter is beyond anything we imagined. It is going to be a wrench for her to leave this year, but I will say without a doubt, that they have done plenty to shape the young lady she is growing into. Thank you, Filkins.
