View Full Details of The Old Station Nursery OxfordMy son started at the nursery one month ago and I am grateful to the staff for their kind care. I was dreading tears and screaming at drop off and turns out I had nothing to dread. He has settled in remarkably well and loves the staff and activities they do there. Thank you so much.
My daughter absolutely loves the Old Station Nursery at the Oxford Science Park. The staff are all amazing, caring, friendly and can form lovely bonds with the children. I admire their creativity when setting up various activities and my daughter always tells me about all the fun stuff she has been up to- be it cooking, baking, gardening, creative play with play dough, painting. She also loves sports and yoga class and music! Overall, we are very happy and can't be thankful enough for all the support the nursery provides to our family.
Having had a very negative experience with a previous nursery, we were looking for somewhere colourful, caring, and nurturing - enter OSNO. During the tour we witnessed first hand how much they clearly care for their charges when a child became upset and was calmed and cared for beautifully. I knew I'd feel safe with my daughter being there. It is a vibrant, engaging, fun environment and we loved the free flow between the toddlers and pre schoolers via the outdoor area. There is a great carer-child ratio, and though every child clearly bonds to their key worker there is a great dynamic where the staff look after each other and each other's charges too. Communication with the manager is very responsive and friendly, and our daughter adapted so well and happily going from one on one nannying to two days, we're already moving her up to three. The previous experience was disheartening, so to find OSNO is a blessing. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to other similarly nervous parents!
Both our children have been at OSN for 3+ years and in that time we have not had a single complaint. We have found the service and care offered to be of the highest standard and our children love coming to nursety each day. All the staff are outstanding and we cannot fault them!
Our child has settled into nursery brilliantly thanks to the amazing staff in the baby room. His development is being thoughtfully observed and encouraged. The facilities are spotless and open ended play is supported. We love that the different stations are rotated around. Communication with our key person is excellent too. We had a few initial billing hiccups (promptly resolved!) and would love to see even more healthier options for tea and special occasion 'puddings'.
High-quality facilities and activities. Our child is well looked after by engaged and caring staff. The variety of educational and development focused play is brilliant and shows a deep understanding of early years educational requirements. Our child is always happy going in and is very well settled and bonded with his key person. Having an on-site chef is a great bonus for quality, nutritious and varied meals. The chef is also very attentive to the children which is lovely to see. Management are easy to reach and responsive to any requests. We highly rate and recommend this setting.
I would strongly recommend the Old Station Nursery in Oxford Science Park. Lovely staff that are always happy to answer any additional questions and take time to tell me how was my child's day. My child has some skin problems, staff is always happy to help with applying special cream on him.
Our daughter began in the Baby Room of the Old Station Nursery at age 11 months, progressed through the Toddler Room and is now in the Pre-School. Throughout her time at the Old Station she has benefitted from extremely attentive care, wonderful learning opportunities and building positive relationships with both staff members and other children. She is a very happy, confident little girl and we attribute this in no small part to the support and encouragement that she has received from the Old Station Nursery staff. We enjoy receiving regular updates through the Parentzone website and app, and appreciate the detailed reviews of our daughter's learning and development that the team complete for her every six weeks. I would recommend the Old Station very highly to any parents who are looking for childcare.
We have been using the Old Station Nursery Oxford for 18 months now and have only positive feedback! The team are incredibly friendly, caring and supportive; the nursery is well-equipped with great indoor and outdoor facilities; the quality and variety of meals and snacks is impressive; and the location is excellent. My son's development has taken leaps and bounds since joining the nursery, and the staff are always helping to focus on developing new skills and hitting milestones in a fun and engaging way. While the nursery is very expensive, information about government funding and childcare support is well-communicated and easy to access, and the nursery manager goes above and beyond to support families navigate the available options. Overall, we are extremely happy with the nursery and know that every day our son will be safe, supported and having fun with his friends.
Our son has experienced both the toddlers room and the pre-school room at The Old Station Nursery and has enjoyed his time in both. The facilities are impeccable, the food delicious, and the staff go above and beyond in every area possible including helping the parents understand the PHD level mathematics involved in calculating monthly invoices when funding and child care vouchers come into play. Staff also understand the complex emotions that toddlers and pre-schoolers go through and quickly recognise if something seems slightly off. They genuinely care and work with parents to provide to best possible environment both at the nursery and at home for all children. We would love for our boy to spend his remaining time before primary school at The Old Station Nursery but unfortunately we have had to move to another county. If we were staying, our youngest daughter certainly be enrolled into this nursery. Thank you so much to all the incredible staff at The Old Station Nursery.
We've had such a wonderful experience at The Old Station Nursery! Our little one settled in quickly and has made so much progress since starting. His talking, eating and sleeping have improved, and he's become more confident and happy. The staff are incredible - kind, attentive, and always going the extra mile to ensure both the children and parents feel comfortable. We especially love the outdoor garden play and the wide range of activities that keep the kids engaged. We couldn't recommend this nursery more!
My son started at The Old Station Nursery a few months ago and we couldn't be happier with our experience so far. He settled in within two weeks and we can already see the amazing ways it's helping him develop - he went from refusing food to munching full meals within a few days of starting nursery, his sleep has improved and he's super confident and happy there. We're so thankful for the wonderful staff there - from the ace baby room staff to the on-site catering queen to the brilliant manager, everyone is kind, delightful and goes above and beyond to make my son and us happy and comfortable. We were particularly impressed by the way that the nursery carefully noticed when he bonded with a particular person and made them his key worker. We get lots of updates on the app during the day and a run-down of the day on pick-up. They do a great range of activities and we love the way that the kids spend plenty of time outside too. Would encourage anyone who's thinking about it to apply!
We’ve had a great experience with The Old Station Nursery Oxford. The staff are caring and attentive, the facilities are clean, safe, and well-equipped. Everything feels well organised. We always feel confident leaving our daughter in their care. Highly recommend OSN Oxford to any parent.
We enrolled our son into this nursery at the end of October 2023 with an official start date in November and from the start of enquiry right through to our son's settling sessions the nursery and staff have been amazing. We were worried at the start about our son settling as he hadn't been away from us really into a childcare setting but the nursery was so comforting and understanding when he was settling and would offer plenty of reassurance to us as parents. It has been lovely being able to go in when collecting our child as it enables us to see him playing and interacting. We are really happy with this nursery and we are glad to have chosen to enrol him here.
My baby has settled in very nicely and has been looked after by the team of great ladies. They made sure she was safe and well. I specifically was worried about the nap times as she is very fussy who she falls asleep with, but with love and affection, they made it look so easy. Thank you. I would strongly recommend the nursery.
The nursery and staff I cannot fault. My son who is 3 has been attending this nursery since he was 4 months old and the service received has been excellent. The constant price rises are why I had to find an alternative nursery.
Since my son started here he has really thrived in all aspects and his key person is amazing and the other days are great too and really meet his needs. My son also comes home happy after his nursery session.
Such a lovely and caring place! My son really enjoyed being there since the very beginning. His key person was so caring, supportive, understanding and warm. I had regular updates via the application and comprehensive handover during pick-ups. My son really enjoyed being there since the very beginning.

My daughter just recently started nursery. She’s so much more confident around new people and independent at home after only a few sessions. The staff are all lovely and would definitely recommend to anyone thinking about joining!
