September 22, 2024 at 8:12 amOur son is consistently excited to go to childcare centre, runs in with a smile on his face and clearly gets so much care and encouragement from the whole team. The food is a big hit too! The app is excellent for keeping track of updates, doing forms and payments etc though the team are consistently excellent and giving you verbal updates each day. I also want to truly commend the extra effort and commitment they’ve shown over the pandemic period ensuring the kids had a secure and as normal as possible setting to develop and thrive in despite the obvious pressure and anxiety on adults during this unusual time. I thoroughly suggest this fantastic childcare centre. What a fantastic childcare centre – an incredible setting with excellent facilities and such fantastic attentive team who treat the kids as individuals with truly tailored care.

October 12, 2024 at 2:34 pmMy son is in the preschool setting and his key worker is so thorough with handovers and updating photos of what he’s been up to every week. Updates is excellent when needing to contact the settings for changes etc. Everyone is so welcoming, polite and truly welcoming. As my son has progressed through childcare centre his old keyworkers have kept in touch and are still in contact with him which is lovely. My son absolutely loves coming here! Couldn’t suggest it anymore! Massive Thumbs up! The Old Station Childcare centre based at Oxford Science Park is absolutely incredible.

November 16, 2024 at 11:48 amThe childcare centre is highly inclusive and welcoming and the team are consistently cheerful, patient and highly welcoming. The resources are excellent too. Everyone is consistently highly supportive and we sense confident our daughter is cheerful, secure and cared for truly well. The kids also spend a lot of time outdoors in a lovely and spacious garden. I would highly suggest this setting. Our daughter, who has developmental delays and a working diagnosis of ASD loves her childcare centre and the fantastic team that look after her.

Our son’s key worker, in particular, has made an incredible attachment with him and he’s consistently highly excited to see her. We’ve had a truly positive journey for the entire year our son has attended.

December 7, 2024 at 6:55 amHis key person knows him well and they have a strong bond. We talk about his development and areas on which I would like the team to focus on. The team responded with competence and care to a medical emergency my kid was in recently and I am highly grateful for that. My kid is highly cheerful at Old Station Childcare centre.

December 21, 2024 at 8:31 pmMy daughter goes from strength to strength at this childcare centre, she has grown in self‑assurance and independence and a huge percentage of this is down to her time at Old Station Road and the impeccable level of care and assistance she receives there, the facilities and the team are second to none. My journey with the childcare centre continues to be an exceptionally positive one, the team are incredible and have made everything from dealing with Covid to a site move smooth and uninterrupted.

January 8, 2025 at 4:29 pmThe manager and her team are super supportive, and we truly appreciate the care they take with our son. Our son has consistently enjoyed attending The Old Station Childcare centre; he comes back talking about all the things he has done.

January 10, 2025 at 2:04 amHe bonded truly well with all members of team in the baby room, who are welcoming to all the kids in the room.
Every day at drop off a team member comes to pick up my son at the door and asks how he is and how the previous evening/weekend was. At pick-up time, there is consistently someone who provides an update on what he ate, how he slept and how he played/interacted with others.
Outside space/garden is accessible to all kids easily. Daily moments like activities are captured in pictures and made available through an app. Framework indicators are ranked, and development can be tracked.
All requests from parents seem to be accommodated promptly and general updates is highly great. My son settled truly well within 2 weeks, the key person was present most days and gave a daily update on activities and development.

January 15, 2025 at 8:07 pmBut they’re also given the opportunity to learn and explore through thoughtful and interesting activities. Old Station Childcare centre, Oxford achieves all this and more, my son loves attending the setting. As a business, I find Old Station Childcare centre, has excellent planning, foresight, and updates and the level of care is highly high and consistent. With both daily updates, and more long-term development updates, you sense well supported as a parent and highly secure in the knowledge your kid is being cared for by a fantastic team of professionals, who are excellently managed. When you send your kid to childcare centre you hope for a few things, they are looked after by attentive individuals that are invested in their well being, the setting is secure and enjoyable, and all their needs are met (such as great meals and snacks, timely nappy changes, naps, assistance when upset).

February 13, 2025 at 10:43 amThey understood the anxiety as a new parent leaving your kid with a stranger and comforted me as a parent offering assistance and advice which was incredible to sense. The team are open to try new routines and adjustments to suit the needs of the kid. And are constantly offering assistance and advice. My son has an incredible bond with his key person but will happily go to any adult in the room. I sense cheerful knowing he has a enjoyable-filled day at childcare centre. The Old Station Childcare centre offer some incredible activities for babies such as music, messy playtime, role playtime, song time and outdoor playtime. As well as ample opportunity to free flow giving the kids the choice to decide. The food consistently goes down a treat, my son consistently comes home with a full tummy and a messy shirt. A sign of a enjoyable-filled day. I couldn’t praise the baby room team well enough! I cannot wait to see how he progresses! As a first time mum, the team at The Old Station Childcare centre were incredible at welcoming my son and making sure he was settled.

February 28, 2025 at 11:56 amI had both my daughters going there full time from a highly young age and they consistently delight in the time spent at the childcare centre. Lovely and stimulating setting, nice outside space and everything is new and fresh. The team are remarkable, attentive, engaged and consistently ready to help. We couldn’t be happier. We absolutely adore Old Station Childcare centre in Oxford.

March 12, 2025 at 1:22 pmAll the members of team are compassionate, supportive and consistently smiling. My daughter absolutely loves it and you can tell that she is highly well looked after. I have not seen the new facility properly yet but it looks incredible from the outside. Since my daughter joined the childcare centre last year, I could not be happier with the overall journey.
Charlie Hobbs
March 12, 2025 at 8:27 pmWe get regular updates on his development and developmental activities etc. and he is so attached to his carer. My son is cheerful to go to daycare and I believe this is a great indicator of how much he enjoys his time there.
Carter Sutton
March 18, 2025 at 11:30 amWe never have any issues and the team are highly supportive, the only thing I would change is introducing a system where we can see the fluid and food intake on the app every day, sometimes we don’t get a clear handover of what she has eaten and drank during the day. Thank you for a lovely, secure setting for our little one. My daughter runs into childcare centre every time with a cheerful face and full of excitement!

April 2, 2025 at 10:13 amI highly suggest this childcare centre.
Lovely team in the baby room, supervisor of the baby room is outstanding, well informed and attentive for the kids.
My son had allergies and they were outstanding in keeping notes of every meal he ate to track his skin reaction.
Kendall Sharpe
April 29, 2025 at 12:38 pmThe care given to my son I truly couldn’t fault or ask for much more!
Each member of team are welcoming and make me sense at ease. I drop my son with no worries what so ever. All I can say is thank you for changing my perspective on childcare centre’s! My son was in a childcare centre previously but since moving he’s come on leaps and bounds.

May 1, 2025 at 9:26 amThe team are truly incredible and highly attentive, telling you all about their day when you pick them up. I have so much self‑assurance that they are being well looked after whilst I am at work, thank you. My two daughters truly delight in going to childcare centre, especially since moving to the new building.
Lane Carter
May 16, 2025 at 9:18 pmThey truly care and make my kid sense special and consistently welcome and loved. My toddler absolutely loves going each day and comes home tired out from a enjoyable-filled day. I adore the updates and pictures to see what she’s been getting up to, it consistently looks like the team and kids have equal amounts of enjoyable!
Consistently supportive with keeping sleeping bags, dummies and cups just for your kid to make it as homely as possible. No need to cart them back and forth each time! I’m so so glad I chose this childcare centre and it made going back to work so much easier. I know that my kid is well looked after and well entertained as well as discovering key skills. I can see each time she is home the positive progression in her skills, it blows me away.
I sense the team truly care too to help develop those skills and increase them each time like helping with the walker or using a pen.
Thank you to everyone there at the childcare centre, you are loved highly much! I adore Old Station Childcare centre and all the team.

June 24, 2025 at 6:06 amLocation is exceptional, loads of nature around.
They will walk extra mile to help your kid, they will consistently assistance you as a parent and also will look for ways to help if needed extra sessions.
My kid needed extra assistance with development, and childcare centre team throughout the years looked for ways to help, one to one sessions, applied for educational assistance for upcoming years. My kid achieved milestone with The Old Station Childcare centre! I will be grateful and proudly can say only excellent things about team members.
Every day you receive feedback, photos and updates on development, how they spend days and consistently will ask if you as a parent need any help or assistance regarding your kid!
Thank you so much from all my heart! I would say the greatest childcare centre in Oxford!
