    My oldest, now two, has been there since he was six months old and my youngest, about to turn one, has been there for a couple of months. As a full-time working mum, finding a setting your kids adore, with people who care so much for them, is exceptionally important. I am so cheerful with the care the childcare centre provides and adore hearing about what they have been up to every day. Most days when I pick them up, they are outdoors playing, in their element. I am so cheerful I have been able to get my boys into the childcare centre and can’t thank them enough. I have two little boys at the Old Station childcare centre.

    The only area for improvement is the menu which relies heavily on sandwiches/pittas for afternoon tea, but hot lunches sound so great I wish I could stay too! Old Station Henley has outstanding facilities, inside and out, attentive team and lots of activities on offer.

    The team are consistently so cheerful and cheerful to see the kids. The range of food is excellent and the activities the kids do are exciting, interesting and go with the interests of the kid. The childcare centre is so expert, the safety of the kids is paramount.

    I would definitely suggest it.
    They spend a lot of time outdoors, which is excellent and seem to meet the needs of the younger ones well. My daughter is highly cheerful here and has built some lovely connections with the team!

    The team truly care about the kids. They have navigated the pandemic amazingly well and I’m glad to be sending my second kid there in a few months. The team go above and beyond and my son has developed so much, I couldn’t ask for a better place for him to spend his time.

    She’s highly cheerful there and developing well. The team are highly welcoming and accommodating and assistance us with many challenges, like allergies. Remarkable childcare centre, truly pleased we chose it for our daughter.

    The team clearly care about each kid and have a nurturing and attentive approach. Our son loves exploring the outdoor space where there is lots of stuff for him to playtime with. The meals are varied and they do lots of different activities with them each day. Our son has been so cheerful at Old Station Childcare centre from the beginning.

    The kids appear to have many activities to keep them busy and challenged throughout the day with great variety. She especially enjoys the trips out to their Forest school and their other outdoor activities. The team are consistently cheerful to help and keep us updated on her development on a weekly basis through their online app, which is easy to access. She has made many friends and is highly fond of the team members. The only challenge we have experienced with The Old Station is their incredibly long waiting list for the younger age group, which is a credit to their popularity, but means that one has to apply highly early on to secure a place. Apart from that, we highly suggest The Old Station and are highly cheerful to have found it! Our daughter has been highly cheerful since starting at The Old Station and is consistently eager to go.

    My son has attended for 18 months, sadly I am having to move him to a closer childcare centre as this one is an hour and a half walk from my house and as the bus times have changed and health problems have arisen, it’s too difficult to get him there, as I don’t drive. But I thank you for looking after him so well and highly suggest this childcare centre. A particular thank you to the team from Butterflies and Caterpillars. We will miss you. A fantastic childcare centre.

    A remarkable setting in the countryside where kids can learn and playtime with each other highly easily. Thank you for the excellent work Old Station. Our kids’s development is something we are highly pleased with and hope to continue to grow. A super childcare centre with outstanding care and education.

    The team are remarkable and attentive and provide regular updates on what the kids have been up to. The kids have truly engaging playtime sessions and spend a lot of time in the garden areas. Both my kids have loved attending the Old Station childcare centre.

    The setting is fantastic and I particularly adore their forest school trips. Most importantly though, the team make such an effort in their relationships with my two. My 3-year-old chatters away about her friends and the team that she likes so much My almost 2-year-old runs in to meet his key carer. They are also highly responsive to questions or any concerns so I have complete peace of mind that my kids are in great hands. My ratings on cleanliness and resources are based on what I remember the inside being like pre-pandemic, as parents have not been allowed into the childcare centre during the pandemic. I have two kids at the Old Station and they both adore it.

    I could not be happier with the care he is receiving. The team also dealt magnificently with the recent extreme heat – It was the greatest relief that he was with them over those days. Our son clearly loves his time at Childcare centre.

    Both my kids have truly enjoyed and are still enjoying their time there. The team are attentive, compassionate and so much enjoyable to be around. I honestly can’t fault it. The location is excellent with a huge garden area and forest school and parking onsite for parents is consistently a bonus. I adore this childcare centre and the team who run it.

    She has developed so much since starting childcare centre and made some lovely friends. The team are welcoming and experienced. We know our daughter is in secure hands when at childcare centre. Our daughter loves going to childcare centre and we can see from the daily updates that she has lots of enjoyable.

    A varied range of activities focussing on different development skills. Wholesome food is provided daily. Attention to detail on safeguarding and great updates when kids are unwell. Welcoming team, great facilities for kids with a lot of outside space and activities.

    She and we have been welcomed from day 1, with everyone we encounter being compassionate and welcoming. She has quickly adjusted to her new setting and clearly loves the team who care for her. They treat her with such kindness and understanding and I sense confident leaving her in their capable hands. Thank you to the whole team for making my return to work so much easier than it could have been! We couldn’t be more pleased that we chose the Old Station Childcare centre for our daughter.

    I couldn’t think of a better setting for our kids to spend their early years. Consistently been delighted with the outstanding level of care, variety of activities, developmental assistance and happiness of the kids.

    He has so many different activities to do and spends the majority of his time outdoors which is what we wanted for him. He enjoys the food and sleeps well and has made friends which is so lovely for us to see via the app each day. It’s such a relief to know he enjoys his day when we drop him off each morning. Our son is exceptionally cheerful at The Old Station Childcare centre, Henley and is developing so well.
