My daughter is so happy to come in every day, and everyone who has looked after her has been brilliant! It's hard to believe that she started over 2 years ago in Babies 1, and has worked her way through the rooms to get to Preschool 1! We just wanted you to know that we've so appreciated all the love, care and support my daughter has received over the last 2 years from all the lovely staff members at the nursery. Literally everyone that has helped in some way to make her day wonderful each and every time she's walked through the door has been amazing! Leaving your child for the day is such a difficult thing (especially at the very start, when they have to get used to going to nursery), but it's been made much easier knowing what good hands she's been in with you guys. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone, we're genuinely going to miss coming in 3 days a week to see everyone, when she starts school :(

My son has been at this nursery since babies and is now in pre-school. He is well cared for and has amazing relationships with all the staff. He has had some great experiences and opportunities within the nursery too. Both management and staff always check in with me as a parent too making nursery life feel so much more. The day to day care is always good and any issues are sorted straight away. My son is always happy and learning every day, we are both so grateful to be a part of such a fun, positive and thriving environment.

Can't recommend this nursery enough. My son was pretty nervous to start and took a while to settle, but they've been so patient with him, taking time to care for him when he needs a little extra support. He now walks in confidently, without looking back and his speech has come on leaps and bounds!

Our son left The Old Station Houlton to begin his new journey at school in August. He was at the nursery from the very beginning when it opened and progressed up through all the rooms. He loved his time spent at the nursery and so did we. He was always happy there and the care and love from all the staff was always on display. The manager runs the place with care, giving off a warm and welcoming environment. All of his key workers had a really positive impact on his development which we will always be thankful for. We are so happy that we chose The Old Station Nursery.

Our son had a great time during his 3 years with this nursery, particularly the last 2 years where he made close friends and bonded with the staff. I loved seeing all the activities he got up to and the staff threw a lovely graduation party for all the kids where it was clear how much they cared about the children. Would be happy to recommend this nursery.

My 1-year-old goes here and I was so anxious to send her away but the nursery made sure that I feel relaxed with my baby being at the nursery. Everyone is so accommodating and friendly. The nursery is clean and spacious and the activities there are what my baby enjoys a lot. Within no time she was very comfortable at the nursery. Also, a huge thanks to a particular member of staff, the love and affection she has towards my child made us and her so comfortable that we can trust her with my child now. Thanks to the whole team.

Our son has been attending the nursery for almost 2 and a half years and our daughter recently started in the last couple of months. Both settled really well and are always very happy during their time at the setting. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and we receive a good handover after each session. In particular, the management has been very helpful and supportive. We would love to receive more regular updates on the app used about their day as sometimes we go periods of time without but aside from that really pleased with our experience.

I'm very fond of the nursery, my daughter and I were made to feel welcome during the adaptation process, which wasn't easy for us. We're Brazilian, and apart from the adaptation process, we need help with the language. The nursery has always been very helpful and dedicated to making everything work, my daughter loves it there and already feels calm and safe with the people in charge of the room. A particular member of staff has also played a massive part in our whole process. I can only thank them for everything!

Just a lovely, caring and safe place. My little one loves going, settled straight away and I never worry about her when she's there. The staff seem to be happy and committed and they are attentive and caring. Perfect.

This nursery is simply fantastic. The staff are amazing and the children are at the centre of everything. The children have access to a range of activities daily and the outside space is lovely. Communication from the staff is excellent and regular updates are put on the app throughout the day. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Our little one started nursery aged 9 months and has been there for nearly 3 months now. They seem to absolutely love it and settled in quite quickly. They are happy to be handed over to their keyworker in the mornings, as well as all the other practitioners, normally greeting them with a smile, and their arms wide open. The app is really helpful in giving us updates throughout the day. All the practitioners and management are caring, accommodating and welcoming. There always seem to be engaging activities on offer (music and movement teacher), and I like the fact that the children learn about other cultures and festivals (Diwali). Our child also seems to be enjoying the food there (the menu looks delicious and varied eg. Thai Curry and Goulash). We are really glad we chose this nursery for our child. Thank you for everything to date.

Our child has been at The Old Station Nursery for 1.5 years now and absolutely loves it. All of the staff are great, caring and take feedback really well. Especially the manager who is always looking for ways to improve the nursery, and also loves to hear the thoughts of parents and staff, and does things really quickly which is so nice to see. Special mention to one member of staff in particular who our little one has struck up a real bond with despite having moved to the next age class. The variety of activities is good and staff are keen to give regular updates and share what the little one has been up to. Food menu is good and varied. Definitely recommend this nursery to anyone interested.

The best place to learn and play, our boy loves it here and has made lots of friends. The staff and management are always on hand and attentive. The daily reports sent from his carers are always informative and helpful, we know he’s not only being looked after but he’s also being taught very good skills at an early age. We can’t recommend Old Station Nursery Houlton enough, well done all.

My child has been attending this setting since it opened. Staff are friendly and have a lovely relationship with the children. Kind and caring. All staff are approachable and happy to answer any questions or provide support where needed. Communication is good. My child has come on so much with their development since attending this setting. They are looked after well and happy. Food is cooked on-site and the nursery have its own allotment where the children can grow vegetables. Would recommend this setting to anyone looking.

Really happy with The Old Station Nursery. My little girl started at 10 months and they have done everything possible to help her settle in. The staff in the baby room are so kind and caring and listen to what we want for our little girl regarding routine, sleep etc, and she has such a lovely relationship with her key worker.

Staff have been understanding of my daughter's needs and very supportive to get the EHC Needs Assessment application in. My daughter has started to talk and I have seen staff encouraging her to say different words, which has been so encouraging. Thank you all
